WEBVTT 1 00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:13.759 Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the 2 00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:18.559 Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donnie Peters. His name 3 00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:22.000 is Tim, Michael Phelps Duckworth. I will tell you why 4 00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:28.280 you guys are doing well. The PGT PLO series just 5 00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:32.240 wrapped up yesterday, so that's going to be the heavy 6 00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:36.880 focus of this episode. From Tim and I. Matthew Wantman 7 00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.880 the big winner from all of it. We'll touch on 8 00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:45.399 that how Wantman did his success, which was pretty plentiful, 9 00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:49.000 and then we'll get into the PGT leaderboard and how 10 00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:54.079 things shake out heading into the Super High Roller Bowl PLO. 11 00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:56.600 Of course, we do have to update everyone on our 12 00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:01.399 little fantasy competition between Tim and I and then yeah, 13 00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.439 we'll talk about that Super High Rollerblele PLO. So still 14 00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:09.519 a very heavy PLO centric episode. So if you hate 15 00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:12.359 the four card game, I guess you can turn this off, 16 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:14.519 you know, I guess. I guess That's how it is. 17 00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:18.719 The reason why I called him Michael Phelps is because Tim. 18 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.159 Obviously people can't see this, but Tim and I are 19 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.560 on video. He has no shirt on and he has 20 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:26.920 cupping marks all over. 21 00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:33.000 What are you doing? I got copy obviously I heard. 22 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:39.359 I mean this is hilarious because I I only saw 23 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:42.840 like one video on I think Instagram of some guy 24 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.959 who said cupping has no benefits at all. Okay, I'm 25 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:48.280 just I'm just I'm just telling. 26 00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:50.760 You I've never done it, and I wanted to try, 27 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:53.640 and I have a lingering shoulder issue from well. 28 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.280 Those cupping marks are nowhere near your shoulder. I mean 29 00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:57.879 obviously there are some on your shoulder. 30 00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:04.599 See it's here in my trap and then my back. Anyway, 31 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:06.680 I wanted to try it. It was a toss up 32 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:11.199 between that and acupuncture and copying one on this occasion. 33 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:12.400 I'll try acupunction next. 34 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.520 So I have I actually have, you can't see it. 35 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.120 I have a little acupuncture matt. 36 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:18.039 I have one of those. 37 00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:20.800 So yeah, when I play online poker, because I play 38 00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.120 a lot of online poker tournaments. Now, every break I 39 00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:27.560 get up, I stand up behind me on my acupuncture 40 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:31.879 matt for thirty seconds. I do some quick push ups. 41 00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.560 I do some breathing exercises on that five minute break. Actually, 42 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:37.560 you know what's interesting now that I say it. I 43 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.400 know we said we're going to talk about PLO, but 44 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:44.520 hold on, we'll get back the wsp dot com. The 45 00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:45.800 breaks are now six minutes. 46 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:46.360 What. 47 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:49.719 Yeah, Like they start the timer and it starts like 48 00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.400 five minutes and fifty something seconds, right, so you actually 49 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.400 get an extra minute. I don't hate it, to be honest, 50 00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:57.560 I think it's kind of cool anyway. Just want to 51 00:02:57.879 --> 00:02:58.560 randomly put. 52 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.560 That out, very random. Yeah, have you actually tried Have 53 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:03.479 you tried acupuncture? Real acupunction? 54 00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:07.479 No? I haven't tried real acupuncture. I mean I just haven't. 55 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:09.439 Okay, that's next to me? 56 00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:10.159 Should I? 57 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:12.199 I don't know. I don't know if copy like you said, 58 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.360 you said something about copying not working. I've never done it. 59 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:17.319 I'll let you know in a few days if i've. 60 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:21.719 Me I said that based on one random person I've 61 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.639 never met or seen before in my life. I've not 62 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.439 researched any of this myself. I just saw a video. 63 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:33.199 I am very much like TikTok news media essentially, although 64 00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:35.680 this was on Instagram, but same thing, same concept there 65 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:39.439 As always, I would like to thank our sponsors of 66 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.280 the Poker go A Podcast.

We 117 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:50.279 got Matthew Wantman topping the leaderboard aka Bucky as he 118 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.079 is known commonly amongst the poker circles. There were nine 119 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:58.279 events as part of this series and Bucky cash in 120 00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.519 six of them, which is pretty damn incredible if you 121 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:04.560 ask me. He also won one of the events. He 122 00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.800 won event number three, a five thousand dollars PLO event 123 00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:10.600 for one hundred and seventy eight thousand, two hundred and 124 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:15.959 fifty dollars. The other cashes for Wantment included event number two, 125 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.399 the pl Progressive Bounty.

Event number five, a fifteen K 128 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:31.759 pl PKO eleventh place there for twenty two thousand dollars, 129 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:34.040 and I'm guessing he probably got some bounties along the way. 130 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:38.199 Event number six another ten K potlom and Omaha third 131 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.079 place for just under one hundred and twenty thousand dollars. 132 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.879 And then event number nine fifty one hundred dollars PLO 133 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.720 bounty that was a single day tournament, the final tournament 134 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:51.120 seventh place for Bucky, and that one for just over 135 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:55.480 ten thousand dollars. All told, he won four hundred and 136 00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.959 thirty four thousand, three hundred and eighty dollars in prize money. 137 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:02.560 That does not include any bounties that he might have 138 00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:06.199 won along the way. It also doesn't include the ten 139 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:09.920 thousand dollars PGT passport that he now has in his 140 00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:14.079 possession and he can put to use in future PGT events. 141 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:18.480 So four hundred and fifty three points for Wantman to 142 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.079 top the leaderboard. Right behind him not too far off, 143 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:25.319 Jeremy Osmas four hundred and twenty points, Alex fox In 144 00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.680 three seventy eight, Daniel legrand Who three sixty six, and 145 00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:32.279 Sammy Sippola three forty seven. That is the top five 146 00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:34.960 as things rounded out, if you want to extend it 147 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:38.240 to the top ten. You had Isaac Hackson in sixth place, 148 00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:41.000 Ben Lamb in seventh place, Ben Tolering in eighth place. 149 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.039 You want to Yuka Mining in ninth place, and James 150 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.879 Chen in tenth place. A lot of really really really 151 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.200 big names, you know, doing well at the series also, 152 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:51.960 you know, showing up at the series. You know, there 153 00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:54.080 were obviously some big names that didn't put up a 154 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.399 ton of results. Pretty good showing overall for the the 155 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:02.080 entire series. You know, obviously the Wantman really showed out. 156 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:06.120 You know, he was absolutely crushing. Had all those cases 157 00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:09.799 that I mentioned five in a row. He knew it was. 158 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:11.480 I knew it was like three or four for sure, 159 00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:15.159 five in a row. I mean, what a beast, absolute 160 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.360 beast it was. It's almost like kind of a matter 161 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.639 of time for for Wantman. You know, he plays all 162 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:23.559 of the events that we have, well, not the mixed 163 00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:27.120 but he plays everything else, all the PLO stuff, all 164 00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:30.679 the no limits stuff. He's always out there battling, always 165 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:33.360 seems to be you know, kind of knocking at the door. 166 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:36.399 I mean, obviously he's won some events before, but being 167 00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:41.960 able to become a series champion is extremely incredible, so 168 00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:46.639 good for him. Just quickly on the other notable happenings 169 00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:50.840 throughout the series. The series kicked off with Latarro Guerra, 170 00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.399 who's the O G Polo Series champ. He won event 171 00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.879 number one. Uh funny there he he beat josh a 172 00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:01.720 and heads up play. Josh Aray had a big chip lead, 173 00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:05.960 and I mean he punted it off for sure. I 174 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:08.519 mean there was a couple of hands that you know, 175 00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.679 I'm sure josh would want to have back. And this 176 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:14.120 isn't the first time that we've seen josh lose a 177 00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:18.039 big chip lead, was it? Was it the plo also 178 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:19.759 or was it something else? 179 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:22.639 The first ever twenty five k Maine. I think he 180 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:25.480 had a big chip lead the final day. 181 00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:28.679 Before at at you know, in the studio, and it 182 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:32.039 hasn't worked out for him. So maybe eventually, you know, 183 00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:36.480 josh Ai will find himself in the PGT winners circle 184 00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:39.159 inside the studio, grab himself one of those trophies, getting 185 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.279 the winner's foot or all of that. But kind of 186 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:44.000 blew it. And event number two or sorry, event number one, 187 00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:47.879 I should say, Dylan Wiseman won event number two again. 188 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:48.720 What do you mean again? 189 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:52.159 Well, he won event number two in March. Look at that. 190 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:54.399 I mean, Dylan Wiseman's a freaking beast when it comes 191 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.240 to PLO, absolute freaking beast. Now, Dylan Wiseman had a 192 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:00.440 big chip lead in this event and did not give 193 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.720 it up like Josh, are you? Daniel Nigran New Everyone 194 00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:06.799 knows Daniel event number six winner. He did it again. 195 00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:11.320 Daniel had a pretty good series overall five cashes he 196 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.600 had this victory. He won more than three hundred and 197 00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.519 fifty thousand dollars in prize money, three hundred and sixty 198 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:19.879 six PGT points. Tim and I will hit on the 199 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:24.679 overall PGT leaderboard, but Daniel did move up on that 200 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:27.799 season long leaderboard, so we'll touch on that a little 201 00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:32.639 bit later in this podcast. Jeremy Osmas finally winning a 202 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:36.399 PGT event, his first of this year, his first of 203 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:40.080 last year, his first in six one hundred and eighty 204 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:43.759 four days. He won event number seven. What was that? 205 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:47.360 Fifteen K? Yeah, yeah, fifteen K. He won two hundred 206 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:52.440 and eighty eight thousand dollars. Long, long, long, long battle 207 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.799 heads up with gruff Pugh Jones. I mean they battled forever. 208 00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.200 Nick Shulman got third place in that one. Nigroney made 209 00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:04.080 a deep run he got seventh in that event. And 210 00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:07.799 then we had Ben Toleering once again closing out a 211 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.879 series in the twenty five K buy an event with 212 00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:13.519 a win. He did it at Poker Masters, he did 213 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:18.679 it here at the PGT PLO series. So Ben Toleraing, 214 00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:24.080 one of the absolute all time best PLO players in 215 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.200 the history of the game, comes in, does extremely well 216 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.480 during the series, wins the twenty five K for just 217 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:37.399 under half a million dollars. All right, So there have 218 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.440 now been four PLO series as part of the PGT 219 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.840 two per season over the past two seasons. Kind of 220 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:49.279 similar turnouts and results from all of them. The first 221 00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:54.600 one had nine events, one seventy nine entries, nine and 222 00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:57.000 fifty thousand dollars in prize money. The second one had 223 00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:00.960 ten events, nine hundred and sixty eight entries nine point 224 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.320 almost nine point seven million dollars in prize money. The 225 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:06.799 third one ten events, again nine hundred and sixteen entries, 226 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.480 more than just over eight point seven million dollars in 227 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:11.759 prize money. The fourth one, this is the one that 228 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.559 just wrapped up nine events, nine hundred and sixty five entries, 229 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.360 eight point five four or five million dollars in prize money. 230 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:20.519 One. 231 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:24.559 You, sir, are the PGT commissioner. You are the brains 232 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.600 behind the PGT PLO series. How do you feel this 233 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:32.000 one went as it compares to some of the others. 234 00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:34.159 I think this, I mean, look, all these PLO series 235 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:36.279 are pretty amazing. We have people coming from all over 236 00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:41.279 the world to come play PLO for ten days straight 237 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:44.600 and it is great to see new faces, old faces, 238 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.879 people that we only see you know, twice a year. Really, 239 00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:50.159 plus the world series come to the studio to play PLO. 240 00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:55.120 So this series, I think it was a great turnout. 241 00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:58.159 We obviously had some events going on, you know, big 242 00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:02.919 events around the world that affective numbers such as EBT Cyprus, 243 00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:07.320 and we still you know, broke some not broke records, 244 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.320 but we still set some pretty big field sizes in 245 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:18.080 these events that you know, really really impressed me. Especially 246 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.080 like we look at the five K we had, you know, 247 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:22.600 one hundred and fifty five player field. Twice, we had 248 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:25.799 one hundred and fifty nine entrant field and they were 249 00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:29.559 you know, top five biggest five k's we've done in Omaha. 250 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:32.279 Even with the ten k's we had you know, a 251 00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:34.480 couple of hundred player fields, a couple of one hundred 252 00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:36.840 entrant field sorry that you know, was top five ever 253 00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:40.000 for a ten K. So it shows a PELO is 254 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:43.240 still popular. Players are coming down wanting to play this, 255 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.200 and you know, like we've kind of touched on the 256 00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:49.279 podcast to us you know, a few series summaries. We 257 00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:50.919 still have a lot of people missing, a lot of 258 00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.679 people traveling, you know, deciding to skip a series here 259 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:59.000 or there to try something different, and that's okay, you'll 260 00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:01.519 come back eventually, come back to where the real, the real, 261 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:04.759 the real men play, real men and women play. But yeah, 262 00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:06.879 I was extremely happy with how everything went. 263 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.559 Is this the best PGTPLO series schedule you've put together 264 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:14.080 or you know, because obviously through the I think through 265 00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:15.679 the first three, I would say that, you you know, 266 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:18.480 you obviously got player feedback and then kind of change 267 00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:22.320 some things. Is this the best one? Would you just 268 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:24.519 take this one and copy paste for the next one, 269 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:27.960 or is there something that you're looking to change, you know, 270 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:29.879 possibly that you've heard from the players that you want 271 00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:32.360 to adapt for the next iteration of this series. 272 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:35.320 Yeah, the first few we had some split pot like 273 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.639 we had some Omaha High Low in there, we kind 274 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.000 of realized that, hey, this is a high only series. 275 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:43.519 Let's so guess, let's get rid of this high low. 276 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:45.399 We even tried like a dealer's choice, let's get rid 277 00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:47.840 of that. We're just all in on the high there. 278 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:50.320 You know a couple of comments about the schedule for 279 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:52.120 this time was we did go from a ten to 280 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.039 a fifteen, back to a ten, back to a fifteen. 281 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.639 A little bit confusing. That was done for a reason. 282 00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:02.039 But I can understand the flow of steadily increasing buy 283 00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:04.000 ins being a little more popular, so will probably make 284 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:06.519 that change. I thought this schedule was the best of 285 00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:09.320 all four. However, I think the next schedule I've already 286 00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:11.759 done it. It's ready, it's in the works. I think 287 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:15.000 it's going to be better than ever. And hopefully these 288 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:16.559 guys that you know, I've already kind of briefed them 289 00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:20.120 on it. I'm pretty excited to try this one new 290 00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:22.600 event we're going to do and yeah, hopefully they all 291 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:23.360 come back in March. 292 00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:28.320 What about even number seven from this time around, because 293 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:30.679 it took place on a Sunday, fifteen day by in 294 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:35.120 potlam and Omaha. Sixty four entries. Do you so basely 295 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:38.360 what I'm getting at For those that don't know, for 296 00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:44.080 the major PGT events Poker Girl Cup, USPO and Poker Masters, 297 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:48.799 we skip Sundays. We don't go on Sundays, but we've 298 00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.480 been going on Sundays for these other non nakers calling 299 00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:55.159 the miners if you want whatever, I don't know. PGT 300 00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:56.720 plusories should be a freaking. 301 00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:58.799 Majrix for numbers to say it's a major. 302 00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:03.759 That's what I'm saying. So are are are we going 303 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:06.680 to go on Sundays next time? Like, what's what's the 304 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:09.160 kind of the thought process? There was there any feedback 305 00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:12.480 from the players, you know, I mean obviously now, especially 306 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:15.039 because it was you know, it's kind of interesting because 307 00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.079 before you answer, you know, we it's football season, so 308 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:20.359 obviously a lot of these guys watch football, They bet 309 00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:22.200 on it, all that sort of stuff. So like, on 310 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:24.240 one hand, you know, you have players that are like 311 00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:26.359 I just want to stay at home or wherever I am, 312 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:28.960 go to a sports book, maybe friend's house, whatever, watch 313 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:31.119 a bunch of the games, bet on them, chill out. 314 00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:31.640 Cool. 315 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:34.640 On the other hand, I mean, we had the TVs 316 00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:37.359 had football all over them. They were on the big monitors, 317 00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:39.799 the huge led Wall, so like it was, it was 318 00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:42.359 a cool atmosphere to be in there and be playing. 319 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:44.480 So so yeah, what are your thoughts there? 320 00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:47.599 Yeah, I mean, originally the Sundays off was due to 321 00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:50.160 a couple of factors. You know, obviously football Obviously for 322 00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:54.079 the not limbic guys, Sundays were pretty popular on WSP 323 00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:56.519 dot com, so that was the reason we took Sundays off. 324 00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:00.480 It's also was great for i think staff, both US 325 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:03.599 and ARIA to have that little day break in between 326 00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:06.400 a series. So heading into next season, it's something we're 327 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:08.839 going to do across the board in all our series, 328 00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:12.839 specifically requested from ARIA. It just helps us scheduling. We 329 00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:15.240 also see really good numbers after the day off. You know, 330 00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:17.640 you give these players their own chance to just reset, 331 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:20.559 they come back and gamble it up even more so, 332 00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:24.799 whether it's the PLO series or PGT Last Chance, the 333 00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:26.960 Mix Game series and our majors, we're going to be 334 00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:30.000 Sundays off going forward. So that's that's definitely one big 335 00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:34.079 change for the PGT for next season, and some other 336 00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:36.400 little things obviously. I mean, if anyone's been on social 337 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:38.880 today and seeing Daniel grind and call me out for 338 00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:41.519 owing him seventy thousand dollars. We're going to make some 339 00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:44.319 small tinkerings, and we were already planning to do this, 340 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:51.400 you know, slight adjustment to the points for when it 341 00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:54.240 comes to bounties. You know, we're also going to make 342 00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:56.480 some small adjustments to points for the different buy in 343 00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:00.839 such as the fifteen k and fifty ks. And you know, 344 00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:02.680 we're going to have a little look at the payouts 345 00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:05.440 for these bigger fields because once you hit those like 346 00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:09.240 one P fifty, you know, around that those payouts they're 347 00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:11.960 a little they're not great, so we want to maybe 348 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:13.640 just tweak them a bit. But yeah, the change is 349 00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:16.799 coming for next season. Always happy to hear feedback from 350 00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:21.920 players and have whether it's healthy discussions or nonhealthy discussions. 351 00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:25.279 We're always open to, you know, trying to put on 352 00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:26.799 the best product for these guys, because at the end 353 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:28.720 of the day, it's I see it as there to her. 354 00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:31.359 You know, we're just we're just building it for them, 355 00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:33.319 but it's them that's playing and putting up the money 356 00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:36.119 and spending hundreds of thousand dollars to try and win 357 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:37.440 some PGT titles. 358 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:39.839 Well, I have a suggestion. It just came to me 359 00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:43.160 right now. Okay, it's specific to the PLO series, so 360 00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:47.480 it it aligns here. Okay, next year, when we do 361 00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:50.119 the PLO series and we have Sunday off, we should 362 00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:53.240 like organize some sort of big golf outing for all 363 00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:56.039 the players and like send some cameras there and do 364 00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:58.400 like a whole thing. All these guys, like. 365 00:19:58.359 --> 00:19:59.960 You mean the six people that play golf. 366 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:02.240 No, there's a lot of them that that I think play. 367 00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.279 All the Finns play. There's three or four of them. 368 00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:09.680 You have Jonas Cromwerd, or you have Sean Winter, Nick 369 00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:14.119 Shulman plays golf, like Livingston, Like all these guys golf. Yeah, 370 00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:17.319 like you like eight to ten of them, And it 371 00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:19.200 could kind of be like you know, going back in 372 00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:20.960 the day when they had like the nuts or whatever 373 00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:23.400 the heck it was on WSP, Like you know, like 374 00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:25.759 we'll make like some content. We'll send Antonio out there 375 00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:27.759 with his cameras and like we'll just have fun with it, 376 00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:30.880 some kind of Ben Lamb plays golf, All these guys golf, 377 00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:34.440 Like you know, it'd be kind of cool. But yeah, 378 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:36.079 I think it would only really work for like the 379 00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:38.640 PLO series because like they a lot of the guys 380 00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:40.799 like they make a whole thing of like the golf 381 00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:43.200 and the poker. I mean, the Finns came out. They 382 00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:45.839 played in this Raiders one hundred and fifty thousand dollars 383 00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:48.880 tournament the weekend before, Like they were in that scramble. 384 00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:51.440 I know, Sean Winter was going over to their villa, 385 00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:54.400 you know, hitting on the putting green in the mornings beforehand, 386 00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:56.880 so like they're they're all into it. So that would 387 00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.519 be a cool little kind of twist because are golf, 388 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:01.480 Like he'd be in there too. 389 00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:03.880 Yeah, a lot of people play golf. It's it's also 390 00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:06.720 you know, next series is going to be late March, 391 00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:10.559 around March Madness, so there is basketball to watch, you 392 00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:12.599 know for some people. But yeah, I like this idea. 393 00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:17.680 We'll get tickering and trying to figure out how to 394 00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:19.839 execute something pretty some fun content. 395 00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:24.359 You mentioned already having the schedule lined up next PLO series? 396 00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:26.440 Are we still sticking with two per season? 397 00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:29.720 So two? And look, I've gone back and forth. I 398 00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:32.039 would I feel it's weird to have to a season. 399 00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:34.799 I feel like the second one or whatever, the first 400 00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:37.920 one should have some difference as in, like maybe it's 401 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:40.440
