1
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the

2
00:00:14,039 --> 00:00:18,120
Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donny Peters. His name

3
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:25,120
is Tim Duckworth. I hope you guys had a lovely Christmas.

4
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,120
I know I did. I think I did. I mean,

5
00:00:28,719 --> 00:00:31,519
I think anytime I can just kind of chill, it's

6
00:00:31,559 --> 00:00:34,600
probably lovely, although I have a hard time always just

7
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,920
like chilling. It was your Christmas, good sir. I know,

8
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,359
I know you said on the Blast Show that you

9
00:00:39,399 --> 00:00:43,520
already opened your gifts, so like just another day for you.

10
00:00:43,719 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: I opened some gifts, you know, but it was good.

11
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,640
I'm trying to watch what I ate, and I did

12
00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:55,799
not achieve that. We tried a new dessert this year,

13
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:58,840
key lime cheesecake.

14
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: Well, key lime anything sucks.

15
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: So okay, that's the end of the shot. We'll see

16
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:06,560
see you guys next.

17
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: You want to go, you want to you want to

18
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:09,879
rank your top five desserts.

19
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: We've done definitely done that before, and key lime pie is.

20
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:24,799
Speaker 1: Top Like anything lime anything lemon dessert type of form

21
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,560
is just absolutely disgusting to me.

22
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 2: How about cheesecake? You okay with cheesecake?

23
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I'm every single year, I'm I'm essentially

24
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,920
the I mean I am I'm the baker of the family,

25
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,120
and I am tasked with making the desserts.

26
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,599
Speaker 2: So make the desserts. That's impressive because we never make desserts.

27
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm you know one. It's it's you know, healthier

28
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,159
to usually make it all yourself too. I I enjoyed

29
00:01:48,239 --> 00:01:52,280
baking a bit, so this year I had a request

30
00:01:52,519 --> 00:01:58,040
for my blueberry sour cream coffee cake.

31
00:01:58,319 --> 00:01:59,439
Speaker 2: I would crush that.

32
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: So I made that. That's that's a long time favorite.

33
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:06,079
And then I made a I made a new recipe,

34
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,080
a chocolate cheesecake and I never made that before. So

35
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,520
made that and that went well. And then I helped

36
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,080
my wife make some sugar cookies for the kids. Her

37
00:02:18,159 --> 00:02:21,800
her idea of baking is, I'm gonna go to the store,

38
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,039
I'm gonna buy the mix, and I'm gonna make it

39
00:02:24,039 --> 00:02:26,680
with the kids. I'm like, no, that's not like, listen,

40
00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:28,919
I don't care to like give my kids a lot

41
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,280
of cookies. My oldest she's three and a half. You know,

42
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:36,159
she doesn't really like sweets. It's actually kind of weird

43
00:02:36,199 --> 00:02:39,879
but also refreshing, but she hates chocolate. She hates sweets.

44
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,639
I had a piece of chocolate the other day and

45
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,199
she's like, Dad, your breast smells like chocolate. She wouldn't

46
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,560
didn't go near me. I was like, okay, she likes

47
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,960
to make the cookies with my wife, and I was like, well,

48
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,960
I'll just I'll make the dough for you and then

49
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,039
you can just come home and do the rest of it.

50
00:02:56,479 --> 00:02:59,560
So so yeah, so I made that. But love baking,

51
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,560
love love cooking in general. So yeah, little impromptu family pod.

52
00:03:04,719 --> 00:03:10,000

00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,240
The key line on this episode of the Poker Go Podcast.

108
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,879
let's get into what we're talking about on this episode.

109
00:06:11,319 --> 00:06:15,120
First up, Texas Plo Roundup. That took place a couple

110
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,759
of weeks ago, but do want to put a bow

111
00:06:17,879 --> 00:06:21,000
on it? A thirty three hundred dollars buying one million

112
00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:25,879
dollars guaranteed main event. It drew four hundred and seventy

113
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,040
four entries with one hundred and seventy unique player. So

114
00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:34,079
people were in there and they were firing one million,

115
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,800
four hundred and twenty two thousand dollars in the prize pool,

116
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,240
which is well clear of the million dollars guarantee. The

117
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:45,680
top fifty five places paid. Lawrence Chang proved best amongst

118
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,680
all competitors, topping the field for a three hundred thousand

119
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,839
dollars win. He beat Andrew eg Egay. Is that how

120
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,920
you say it? In a heads up play? Two hundred

121
00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:59,240
K for him, Sonovio Ramirez third place, one hundred and

122
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,040
twenty K, sterl In Seville, eighty K for fourth place,

123
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,759
Kyle Aurora fifth place for sixty K. Sean Rafael got

124
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,040
sixth for fifty one thousand. Ladarren Banks we see him

125
00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:12,079
in the studio quite a bit, so, you know, over

126
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,759
the season, especially for the PLO stuff seventh place, four

127
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:20,079
banks forty three thousand dollars. David Misruloff, who ran deep

128
00:07:20,079 --> 00:07:23,399
in the Texas Poker Open as well. Right, did he

129
00:07:23,439 --> 00:07:25,079
be the in then.

130
00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:27,199
Speaker 2: He catched like five times that series.

131
00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he went deep in the main event too,

132
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,000
And I remember being in the chat. He's one of

133
00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:36,279
the best players out of Texas for sure. Mazruloff got

134
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,480
eighth place for thirty five point five. Matthew Macchiochi probably

135
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,240
butchered that last name terribly, I'm sorry, thirty five point

136
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,040
five for him as well, and then Zenis carol Ampo

137
00:07:48,399 --> 00:07:51,600
twenty nine k four tenth place. Some other notable finishes

138
00:07:51,639 --> 00:07:55,560
here we got Arthur Morris fifteenth place for eighteen thousand dollars,

139
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,959
Chantroja twentieth for fourteen thousand dollars, Ben Ludlow twenty fourth

140
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,839
eleven thousand dollars. Ren Lynn, who's you know again. We

141
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,560
talked last time about all the success he's having in

142
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,439
the latter half of this year and success here as well.

143
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,720
With an asterisk because he was in for like eighty

144
00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:15,439
five thousand goals, didn't he have to come in like

145
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,519
fifth place or something to break even something.

146
00:08:18,199 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 2: Insane, something like that.

147
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,279
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, so he got twenty six for eleven k.

148
00:08:22,439 --> 00:08:25,399
Jordan Griff twenty seventh for eleven thousand dollars, and that's

149
00:08:25,399 --> 00:08:26,680
notable because.

150
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 2: He is now qualified for the PGT Million Dollar Championship.

151
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:32,600
That was his third cash.

152
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:37,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jordan Griff obviously notably second place in the Wspy

153
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,799
main event behind Jonathan Tomayo, but he needed to get

154
00:08:41,879 --> 00:08:45,879
a third cash. What was it Poker Masters or was

155
00:08:45,879 --> 00:08:49,600
it the Plokilo series, the PGTPLO series. He was out,

156
00:08:49,639 --> 00:08:51,919
he was battling. He did not get his third cast there,

157
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,919
but then he headed on down to Texas and he

158
00:08:55,039 --> 00:08:58,000
was able to tick that box. You do have to

159
00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:02,200
have three PGT cash and be within the top forty

160
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,399
points wise to qualify for the PGT Million Dollar Championship.

161
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:06,919
Tim and I are going to get into that a

162
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,799
little bit more later in this episode. But Jordan Griff

163
00:09:09,879 --> 00:09:12,559
notable twenty seventh place finished here because he does get

164
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,679
that third cash. Then you had Ronald Kaiser thirtieth for

165
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,080
nine thousand dollars, Josh Aria forty first for seventy five

166
00:09:19,159 --> 00:09:22,360
hundred Alex Livingston forty fourth for sixty five hundred and

167
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,720
Matthew Wantman forty seventh, also for sixty five hundred dollars.

168
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,279
There were some other events as part of the Texas

169
00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:33,519
Plo roundup that were PGT qualifying events. There were three

170
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,600
five thousand dollars high rollers. You had Adam Hendrix, Curtis Muller,

171
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:42,120
and Ronald Kaiser winning those three events. Hendricks top to

172
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,720
field of twenty three entries to win almost fifty two

173
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,559
thousand dollars, Mueller top the field of twenty entries to

174
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,720
win fifty four thousand dollars, and then Kaiser chopped with

175
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,000
Arthur Morris. They both took home just over forty thousand

176
00:09:54,039 --> 00:09:56,919
dollars each. Kaiser was the one who walked away with

177
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,919
that beautiful Texas bell buckle. A right, sir, you're the

178
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,879
you're the commissioner of the PGT. You love Texas, you

179
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,840
love the steaks at Champions Club, you rock the boots,

180
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,600
the hat, the whole damn thing. Surprise, you don't ride

181
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:12,240
a horse there?

182
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: I love.

183
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. You were on site, yes, down just outside of

184
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,879
Houston or in Houston. How did the event go? Would

185
00:10:19,919 --> 00:10:22,200
you grade it as a success. I know there was

186
00:10:22,799 --> 00:10:26,919
some i'll say worry, but it's like a small w

187
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:29,879
worry going in being like, this is a million dollar guarantee.

188
00:10:29,879 --> 00:10:32,200
There's a lot going on in the region poker wise.

189
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,360
Are we going to hit it? No one's ever done

190
00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:36,840
a million dollar guarantee for a potlom and Omaha event,

191
00:10:36,919 --> 00:10:40,200
So you know, give us your thoughts, any interesting tibots

192
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,000
that you want to share, all that sort of stuff.

193
00:10:42,919 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. Obviously, like you mentioned, million dollar guarantee, you never

194
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,759
been done before in a in a multi flight PLO event,

195
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,759
so you know, there's no data on that. We had

196
00:10:51,799 --> 00:10:55,200
no idea if it was going to crush, if we

197
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,279
were going to get crushed. Everyone was very bullish on

198
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,039
us hitting it any Problembviously, you kind of mentioned there

199
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,080
was a lot of poker going on, especially in Texas.

200
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,879
There was events in Houston, there was events up in Austin,

201
00:11:07,399 --> 00:11:10,519
so that drew some players away from ours. But as

202
00:11:11,039 --> 00:11:13,720
you kind of mentioned, one point four million dollars in

203
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:19,480
the prize pool, we crushed the guarantee and the event

204
00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:22,639
went great. We had people coming out that we expected,

205
00:11:22,639 --> 00:11:25,039
We had a lot of new faces. You know. It

206
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,720
did help the certain players were in for lots of bullets,

207
00:11:28,279 --> 00:11:32,200
including the champion, Lawrence, he was in for nine bullets.

208
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: Nine bullets.

209
00:11:34,759 --> 00:11:39,799
Speaker 2: Holy lord, Well the seven fight, it's understandable. But yeah,

210
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,799
all round, it was a great series. We have already

211
00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:46,000
one hundred percent going to run this back probably a

212
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,559
very similar time in twenty twenty five, just have to

213
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,399
you know, we'll make a little a few little changes

214
00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:56,279
here to the schedule to try and get maximum numbers.

215
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,559
But great series. It was, you know, pretty fun. You

216
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,200
know the PGT. We brought in the PGT PLO series

217
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,320
in twenty twenty three. You know, we've done that four

218
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,440
times now. We haven't set for twenty twenty five, and

219
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,279
this was our first PLO series outside of the studio

220
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:17,159
and you know, it hit green green check marks all round. Yeah,

221
00:12:17,159 --> 00:12:18,480
it was definitely a great series.

222
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: So a million dollar guarantee for a PLO tournament, you know,

223
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,399
as I mentioned, seemed a little bit lofty, but lofty

224
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,360
is good when you're doing poker tournament guarantees. You said it,

225
00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:31,679
you said, crush the guarantee, you know, one point four

226
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,399
to two million in the price. Well at the end

227
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,960
of the day, so clearing the guarantee, my question to

228
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,320
you is would you like to raise the bar or

229
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,799
push to get that bar raised as it pertains to

230
00:12:42,799 --> 00:12:45,279
the guarantee, Maybe go to one point five, maybe go

231
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,600
to two million, Like, is there any sort of thought

232
00:12:47,639 --> 00:12:50,639
there from you, any discussions that are already happening. What's

233
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,039
your temperature in that regard?

234
00:12:52,519 --> 00:12:56,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, knowing that we lost players due to the competing series,

235
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,559
if that's not an issue next year and hopefully the

236
00:12:59,639 --> 00:13:03,000
Texas poker community kind of teams up together to do

237
00:13:03,039 --> 00:13:05,120
what's best for Texas and that's not schedule over the

238
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,639
top of each other. But if that's the case and we,

239
00:13:08,759 --> 00:13:11,480
you know, we have that period to ourselves, I think

240
00:13:11,879 --> 00:13:15,639
we have to help to guarantee, and both you and

241
00:13:15,639 --> 00:13:18,919
me are probably going to be more conservative. I personally

242
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,799
think it could easily just go to one point five.

243
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,679
Whether or our champions want to just go that big

244
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,679
straight away is another question. I think easily one point

245
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,399
two five is just an easy, you know, little uptick

246
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,080
that shouldn't make the champions club team sweat it at all.

247
00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:38,200
It's just whether or not they want to do the

248
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,159
one point five is probably going to be the question

249
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,480
we kind of bounce back and forth on when we

250
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,120
stop planning this for twenty twenty five.

251
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: You also mentioned, you know, doing some things to kind

252
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,759
of improve the numbers all around. I would say probably

253
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,080
more specifically towards some of the side events, the high

254
00:13:56,159 --> 00:13:58,440
role events that happening. You know, we're nothing if we're

255
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,200
not fair on this podcas SO Commission. What are some

256
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,039
areas that you would like to improve upon for next

257
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,679
year's Texas PLO around them?

258
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we started too small with the buy ins.

259
00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:12,960
We started about three hundred. We missed that guarantee by

260
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,159
like two or three players, and we did a four

261
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,480
hundred miss by you know, another handful of players. Once

262
00:14:19,519 --> 00:14:23,080
we hit those the bigger numbers, the one k's especially,

263
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,559
we exceeded the guarantees. So it says that, you know,

264
00:14:27,679 --> 00:14:30,919
the local community doesn't really want to play small PLO events.

265
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,240
I want to play the bigger ones, obviously when we

266
00:14:33,279 --> 00:14:35,159
talk about the four hundred and seventy four in the

267
00:14:35,159 --> 00:14:38,360
main as well. So a concern of mine going in

268
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:43,039
was sending people broke too quickly if you have kind

269
00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:45,600
of big buy inside events. But as you see by

270
00:14:45,639 --> 00:14:49,200
these numbers, that really wasn't the case. So starting next

271
00:14:49,279 --> 00:14:54,840
year we'll probably not really build around such smaller buy

272
00:14:54,879 --> 00:14:56,919
and starting a three hundred and escalating all the way

273
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,879
up to three k. We may just start at the

274
00:14:58,919 --> 00:15:03,799
five six, one thousand mark really attract players to get

275
00:15:03,799 --> 00:15:08,840
there from the start high rollers. That's an interesting one.

276
00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:13,519
You know, I didn't have you know, massive numbers, and

277
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,320
it was you know, majority of our players. When I

278
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,240
say our players, the PGT regulars traveling from Vegas or

279
00:15:20,279 --> 00:15:22,720
traveling from out of town. It didn't really draw the

280
00:15:22,759 --> 00:15:25,519
locals like we had thought. So probably want to have

281
00:15:25,559 --> 00:15:27,519
a look at that again and see how we can

282
00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:31,360
maybe improve on that. Maybe it's just two high rollers

283
00:15:31,399 --> 00:15:34,120
instead of three, but that's probably the two negatives that

284
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,759
come out of that series.

285
00:15:35,799 --> 00:15:40,639
Speaker 1: I think, Well, do you think that this series should

286
00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:43,480
have a series leaderboard attached to it and with that,

287
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:48,120
you know, hopefully generate some more interest in these high

288
00:15:48,159 --> 00:15:51,159
roller events, because you know, there might be some local

289
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,080
players that say, hey, I'm going to kind of fire

290
00:15:53,159 --> 00:15:55,240
my one shot in this main event. It's got the

291
00:15:55,279 --> 00:15:57,960
million dollar guarantee, big price pool, all that sort of stuff,

292
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,320
and I don't need to bother with the the high

293
00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:04,039
rollers because there's really nothing to chase in them, right,

294
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,200
You know, versus when we do even the PLO series,

295
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,320
in the Mixed Game series, you know, anything that we do,

296
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,480
we always have these leaderboards attached to it. So should

297
00:16:12,679 --> 00:16:15,039
we look at attaching a leaderboard to this sort of

298
00:16:15,039 --> 00:16:18,440
thing to hopefully, you know, attract some more interest in

299
00:16:18,759 --> 00:16:20,960
the side events that have to do with the PGT.

300
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,799
Speaker 2: Look that was brought up when we did the Texas

301
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,440
Poker Open as well, and I think it's the way

302
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,639
we schedule this series with the multi flight main event

303
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,080
and the high roller is overlapping the opening flights for

304
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,600
people that have bagged it. I don't think adding a

305
00:16:37,679 --> 00:16:42,600
leaderboard prize actually changes that much. So I probably wouldn't

306
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,080
opt for a leaderboard prize. I would just kind of

307
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,639
configure the schedule a little better for players and work

308
00:16:49,679 --> 00:16:53,159
on you know. Obviously now we've laid the groundwork for

309
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,279
a successful series, so that should help for the next

310
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,360
year's promotion. But yeah, I don't think. I just don't

311
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,120
think a leadable would work or really incentivize people to

312
00:17:03,159 --> 00:17:08,200
play play events and play you know, a multitude of events,

313
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,720
because if you look at the lead like I do,

314
00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:14,759
a leaderboard just for tracking purposes, and even though someone

315
00:17:14,799 --> 00:17:18,240
like Arthur Morris cash in the main event finish runner

316
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:21,640
up in two high Rollers, he only scored eighty a

317
00:17:21,759 --> 00:17:24,480
PGT points versus the winner, Lawrence, who got three hundred,

318
00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:27,880
So a leaderboard in this aspect's not going to work

319
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,799
as much as like a PGTPLO series where you need

320
00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:35,200
to win multiple events cash multiple times to potentially win.

321
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,759
It's just a yeah, it's just a completely different series,

322
00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:39,160
and I don't think it would work.

323
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: I have one suggestion, okay, but two suggestions, actually two suggestions.

324
00:17:44,559 --> 00:17:47,200
I have no idea if this first one they're about

325
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,559
to say is even a thing. So if it has

326
00:17:49,599 --> 00:17:52,720
already been a thing, then forgive me for being an idiot.

327
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,599
Everyone that wins one of those smaller opening events should

328
00:17:56,079 --> 00:17:58,000
win a seat to the main event as part of

329
00:17:58,039 --> 00:18:02,920
their price. Good point them in there, and then you know,

330
00:18:03,079 --> 00:18:05,480
because you're down there, you know, doing the live reporting.

331
00:18:05,519 --> 00:18:07,440
We're streaming multiple days, you know, we can hit on

332
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,039
that person. You're like, you know, hey, Jim Smith, you

333
00:18:10,079 --> 00:18:12,039
own the three hundred dollar opener and you also got

334
00:18:12,039 --> 00:18:14,000
into this event, like you know, to tell us about that.

335
00:18:14,039 --> 00:18:17,200
But whatever, that's additional kind of marketing, and that's a good,

336
00:18:17,519 --> 00:18:23,400
good story to have second to that. Not this this

337
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,160
last series that h the WPT and winded for the

338
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,759
World Championship event. But I think it was last year

339
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,039
twenty twenty three where throughout the year when they when

340
00:18:34,079 --> 00:18:36,839
they had these satellites, they were doing photos of like

341
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,160
the satellite winners, and like they would all kind of

342
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,640
hold up a ticket or something and they would all

343
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,240
stand there and sometimes there would be three of them,

344
00:18:42,279 --> 00:18:43,480
sometimes there would be ten of them.

345
00:18:43,519 --> 00:18:43,839
Speaker 2: Whatever.

346
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: But like I think that helps you know, so every

347
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,160
time that there's a satellite winner or a group of

348
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,480
satellite winners, you know, take a photo of them. If

349
00:18:53,519 --> 00:18:55,559
you're Champions Club, you know, they can send it to us.

350
00:18:55,559 --> 00:18:57,400
Of course, we can put it out there and promote it.

351
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,319
Maybe we have some nice tickets drawn up. Because it

352
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,599
allows people to actually see the satellites in motion, and

353
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,799
like a couple things like one, you start to see

354
00:19:07,799 --> 00:19:09,960
like the number of people that have won satellites, which

355
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,640
then draws in more interest in attending the event, you know,

356
00:19:13,839 --> 00:19:16,559
if you're somebody who's like chasing an event that has

357
00:19:16,599 --> 00:19:19,119
some decent value. Also, if you see a bunch of

358
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,920
people in a photo that you know you don't recognize

359
00:19:22,039 --> 00:19:24,400
because they're recreational as you say, oh, this looks like

360
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,079
it might be a decent value you feel now, you

361
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:27,720
obviously have no idea if they're a good or bad

362
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,359
player or whatever, but just not recognizing a bunch of

363
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,599
faces is, you know, lends you to think that it's

364
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,640
a good thing. So those two things I would like

365
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,240
to see for next year. But of course, you know

366
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:45,480
who the heck knows any more thoughts on the Texas

367
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,000
people around up from you.

368
00:19:46,799 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 2: Before we move on, No, just looking forward to running

369
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,200
it back next year. Same with the Texas Poker Open.

370
00:19:52,319 --> 00:19:55,240
We have some hopefully a pretty fun idea cooking with

371
00:19:55,279 --> 00:19:58,279
that one to try and encourage some players to get

372
00:19:58,279 --> 00:20:01,759
in early. So yeah, starting to draw up those plans

373
00:20:01,799 --> 00:20:05,720
and hopefully, you know, early January we can get that

374
00:20:05,799 --> 00:20:08,599
announcement out there, get people to stop lucking it in

375
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,160
the accountless you're going to come this time? Remember you

376
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,839
said last time? Yeah, so you'll come into play?

377
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, the Texas pokero Open, Yeah, I would like

378
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,680
to come play. I would like to I would like

379
00:20:20,759 --> 00:20:26,160
to start making one poker centric trip a year. Okay,

380
00:20:26,319 --> 00:20:30,400
that's kind of like my idea in my head now,

381
00:20:30,599 --> 00:20:32,680
of course, I got two young kids, I got a wife,

382
00:20:32,759 --> 00:20:34,920
et cetera. Like it's not can't just like, you know,

383
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,039
get up and fuck off for a week, you know,

384
00:20:38,079 --> 00:20:42,359
as much as I might like to. But yeah, so

385
00:20:43,079 --> 00:20:46,319
part of my idea is maybe it's something where I

386
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,480
can bring the family. And I think we've talked about

387
00:20:48,519 --> 00:20:51,519
this before, you know, like I think like Florida would

388
00:20:51,519 --> 00:20:54,039
be a decent stop because you know, I know, something

389
00:20:54,079 --> 00:20:56,599
a hard rock and like it's a good property to

390
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,559
stay at and they have the pool and all that

391
00:20:58,599 --> 00:21:00,480
sort of stuff, and there's stuff to do around the

392
00:21:00,519 --> 00:21:05,200
area and whatnot. I'm not sure if Champions Club qualifies

393
00:21:05,279 --> 00:21:08,000
as like a place I would bring my family to.

394
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,519
I just don't know what's around that area. That said,

395
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,200
I'm fully prepared to just ask the wife if I

396
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,039
can go for you know, four days or whatever, and

397
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,559
you know, maybe I'll come down there and play, you know,

398
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,039
kind of the tail end of the main events. You know,

399
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,200
I think it would be good just from a work

400
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,599
perspective to be there on site to see the event

401
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,640
in motion, you know, all that sort of stuff. You know,

402
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,799
help out wherever I can help out, et cetera. So yeah,

403
00:21:35,799 --> 00:21:38,599
so I would like to get down there during this

404
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,559
time and for this uh, for this series for sure,

405
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,160
you know one I've just been itching to go seems

406
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,359
like a great place to go play poker. The action

407
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:52,119
seems awesome, and the tournament itself seems highly valuable, So

408
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,720
you know that would be uh, would be great. So

409
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,119
it's it's certainly in the front of my mind that

410
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,799
I'm trying to make it happen. So we'll see if

411
00:21:59,799 --> 00:22:04,880
I can actually make that happen. Let's now move the

412
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,400
topic of conversation to PGT Last Chance, but kind of

413
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,440
more so just about the PGT lead aboard itself as

414
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,359
we are entering the Last Chance Series. So the PGT

415
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,839
Last Chance Series is something that Tim put together last year.

416
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,880
It's back this year. It's a series of six ten

417
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,519
thousand dollars by an events. It's the final Chance, hence

418
00:22:25,559 --> 00:22:29,359
the name PGT Last Chance to earn some points and

419
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:34,319
to ultimately qualify for the PGT Million Dollar Championship. We'll

420
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,279
hit on the details a little bit more in a

421
00:22:36,319 --> 00:22:40,240
second about PGT Last Chance, but do want to overview

422
00:22:40,319 --> 00:22:44,119
the leaderboard as things stand right now on the PGT

423
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,799
the top five is still unchanged. You got Jeremy Osmas

424
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,960
up on top with twenty seven and eighty nine points.

425
00:22:51,319 --> 00:22:54,759
Daniel Legrandu is in second place, more than seven hundred

426
00:22:54,799 --> 00:22:59,160
points behind Jeremy Ozmas. So it's very, very very likely

427
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,400
that Jeremy Comus will be crowned the twenty twenty four

428
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,759
PGT Player of the Year. Of course, it's not one

429
00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:07,960
hundred percent yet, but it is very much looking like

430
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,599
that's going to happen. Third place Seth Davies, fourth place

431
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,400
Michael Rocco, and fifth place Jesse Lonis. And then I

432
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,920
mentioned earlier. The PGT Million Dollar Championship is open to

433
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,839
the top forty players as ranked by the PGT Leaderboard.

434
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,759
As things currently stand. Right now, the cutoff is justin

435
00:23:26,839 --> 00:23:30,920
Saliba in fortieth place with nine hundred and twenty one points.

436
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,680
So if things were to end today, the cutoff is

437
00:23:33,759 --> 00:23:37,519
nine to twenty one, and everyone above that would qualify

438
00:23:37,559 --> 00:23:40,920
as long as you do have those three qualifying caches.

439
00:23:41,759 --> 00:23:44,200
So there are players that are inside the top forty

440
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,640
who need to get a third or need to get

441
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,400
the three PGT cashes I should chase, because some of

442
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,000
them have two, some of them have won. Those players

443
00:23:52,039 --> 00:23:57,519
are Jonathan Tomayo, Brian Kim, Nicholas Ostett aka Lena nine hundred,

444
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:03,440
Jason Segel, Boris Angelov, Matthew Lambreckt Andras Gonzalez, Elie Nakash

445
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:09,039
and Mellow Latin Waw. So it is Jason Segel and

446
00:24:09,039 --> 00:24:13,279
Andras Gonzalez that need two cases and then everyone else

447
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,960
just needs one cash. Jonathan Tomaio has been chasing this

448
00:24:17,039 --> 00:24:21,400
third cash like crazy. He has action right now listed

449
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,359
on poker steak dot com, So if you want some

450
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,440
action of the current WSP Main Event champion, you can

451
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,119
head on over to poker steak dot com. There are

452
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,640
a bunch of people who have action listed for the

453
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,920
PGT Last Chance Series, but Jonathan Tomio is one of them.

454
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,799
As he chases that third cash. He's in good standing too,

455
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,519
like he's in sixth place right now, seventeen hundred and

456
00:24:41,559 --> 00:24:45,359
thirty points. So in terms of like how things break out,

457
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,480
where you're standing has to do with the amount of

458
00:24:47,559 --> 00:24:50,359
chips that you start with in the actual PGT Million

459
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:55,279
Dollar Championship. If Tamaio is able to get that third cash,

460
00:24:55,599 --> 00:24:58,680
then he would enter the PGT Championship with you know,

461
00:24:58,759 --> 00:25:03,039
a good a good starting stack. Yeah, there you go.

462
00:25:03,799 --> 00:25:05,680
I'll hit on that in just a second, but I

463
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,960
want to just run through. So the way that Tim

464
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:14,319
has its structured is, should none of those nine get

465
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:17,119
three cashes? You know, if anyone doesn't get it, then

466
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,759
somebody gets bumped up, right, So like let's say Jonathan

467
00:25:19,759 --> 00:25:23,200
Tomaow doesn't get a third cash, everyone else does, then

468
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,799
the person in forty first place would qualify because essentially

469
00:25:26,839 --> 00:25:30,559
you just remove Jonathan Tomorrow from the leaderboard. Everyone would

470
00:25:30,599 --> 00:25:32,960
get slotted up one spot. And that's how it would work.

471
00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:36,680
So now let's, you know, for hypothetical purposes, let's assume

472
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,319
none of those nine get another get to three cashes,

473
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,799
so they're all out. Who would be in in this order?

474
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:47,240
Here's how it would go. Matthew Wantman, Isaac Hackson, Sergio Ido,

475
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:52,759
Ren Lynn, Danny Tang, Steven Chidwick, Brock Wilson, Taylor von Kregenberg,

476
00:25:52,799 --> 00:25:56,279
excuse me, and Brex Scutten. Now, of course, there is

477
00:25:56,279 --> 00:25:59,000
the PGT Last Chance Series coming up, so there's points

478
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,160
to be had in the series those tournaments, so there's

479
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,880
still a lot of moving and shaking to happening. But

480
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,240
that's kind of the lay of the land right now.

481
00:26:08,279 --> 00:26:10,519
As the leader board shakes out, then of course you

482
00:26:10,519 --> 00:26:13,000
guys can head on over to PGT dot com slash

483
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,079
leaderboard if you want to look at the leaderboard yourself.

484
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,279
You can see how many points people have, you can

485
00:26:18,319 --> 00:26:21,039
see where they're ranked. You can see how much money

486
00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:23,680
they've won this PGT season. You know, how many cashes

487
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,240
they have wins, all that sort of stuff. Tim, you

488
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,440
have the strongest finger on the pulse when it comes

489
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,960
to the PGT, when it comes to the PGT leaderboard.

490
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,559
So how do you anticipate this all shaking out? Have

491
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,960
you been in touch with these players who need another

492
00:26:39,039 --> 00:26:41,440
cash or need to get to three? Like, how is

493
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,599
this all going to kind of solidify in these next

494
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,519
you know what two weeks or so three weeks?

495
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:52,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I love this PGT Lost Chance Series

496
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,640
because I think it incentivizes people, you know, to chase

497
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,759
position on the leaderboard. It also, you know, it does

498
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,400
help with a little bit of a warm up to

499
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,240
the championship. But then also the fact that you know,

500
00:27:07,319 --> 00:27:10,759
you could have not played at a single event all year,

501
00:27:10,799 --> 00:27:13,680
you can come here potentially win a dream seat and

502
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,079
be in the championship. Regarding these players, obviously, I've talked

503
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,799
a lot with Jonathan, talked a lot with Matthew Lambresh,

504
00:27:20,839 --> 00:27:23,640
and I believe you've spoken to Brian Kim. They're all aware,

505
00:27:23,799 --> 00:27:25,759
they all know what they need to do. You know,

506
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,200
Tomato's already listed events. Lambresh played every event of the

507
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,720
Poker Masters, played every event that qualify at the NAPT

508
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,880
So they're chasing their their third cash. They understand the

509
00:27:37,559 --> 00:27:40,480
ev they would gain by just you know, qualifying for

510
00:27:40,519 --> 00:27:42,920
the free roll. Some of these other guys that you know,

511
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,440
final table with the main event haven't haven't been able

512
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:51,559
to contact some are aware, So whether we see them,

513
00:27:51,599 --> 00:27:55,039
I'm not sure, but I'm hoping, you know, they turn up,

514
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,599
make it a nice competitive series. And then for these

515
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,599
people the fringe, even if you're like, you know, you

516
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,359
touched on Matthew Wantman and Hackson and Sergio and Rendley

517
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,519
and all these people being in, well, there's also people

518
00:28:08,559 --> 00:28:11,519
below them that could leap frog them. So that's where

519
00:28:11,559 --> 00:28:14,079
it really gets interesting for me, is you know, we're

520
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,359
talking about everyone from say thirtieth on the leaderboard down

521
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,799
where they're kind of obviously looking to move up the

522
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,240
leaderboard and lock their spot in the also have this

523
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,039
pressure from the players below them where they could potentially

524
00:28:27,079 --> 00:28:30,279
get knocked out. So you know, just getting a min

525
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,079
cash and potentially moving up two, three, four, five spots

526
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,400
is going to be really huge. And that's what I'm

527
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,599
looking forward to seeing the not the race. I don't

528
00:28:38,599 --> 00:28:41,000
want to really care, you know, Osmus Nigrano, they may

529
00:28:41,039 --> 00:28:43,759
not even show up, that's fine, But I just want

530
00:28:43,759 --> 00:28:47,000
to see how the race is on the bottom end

531
00:28:47,039 --> 00:28:50,599
of the leaderboard and how every decision carries so much

532
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,079
EV in this free roll because just making it, you know,

533
00:28:53,119 --> 00:28:55,920
you're gaining what is it about twenty thousand dollars worth

534
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,559
of EV just to sit in this free roll. So

535
00:28:58,839 --> 00:29:00,880
that's what I'm looking forward to. The six events.

536
00:29:02,079 --> 00:29:05,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean listen, remind everyone last year how

537
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:10,079
Jim Callipy was sweating it so literally the final event,

538
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,599
like the final like is this person going to cash?

539
00:29:12,599 --> 00:29:13,839
Are they not going to cash? Am I going to

540
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,599
get in? Am I not going to get in? He

541
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,880
ultimately didn't get in, and you know you got to

542
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,440
kind of see that heartbreak, you know, first hand, for

543
00:29:21,799 --> 00:29:25,240
Jim Collopy. You know, Jim Callipy is very much within

544
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,839
the top forty. He's currently in seventh place. He has

545
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,680
all the qualifications locked up, He's got nineteen cashes already.

546
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,599
He's on fire. And then just speaking of Jim Callipy,

547
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,359
he just won the two ten k events ten k

548
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,119
PO and ten K Nolan hold him to close the Yeah,

549
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:40,759
I believe that.

550
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:41,359
Speaker 2: I saw.

551
00:29:41,799 --> 00:29:44,759
Speaker 1: So he closed the WPT World Championship Series, you know,

552
00:29:44,839 --> 00:29:46,440
with the bank. So he's riding a bit of a

553
00:29:46,519 --> 00:29:49,119
high right now. And of course we know how good

554
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,960
Jim is a poker and how much of a you know,

555
00:29:51,039 --> 00:29:53,160
tough competitor he's out there, so he's not going to

556
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,599
be anyone you know that's that's just going to be

557
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,960
rolled over, you know, come the championship event. But yeah,

558
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,079
and then you know, you all these people right at

559
00:30:01,119 --> 00:30:02,839
the bottom of the leaderboard who are gonna be like

560
00:30:03,119 --> 00:30:05,680
fighting to stay in, you know, like the Scott Severs,

561
00:30:05,759 --> 00:30:08,559
Alex Fox, AND's Jonathan Little. I know Jonathan Little has

562
00:30:08,599 --> 00:30:11,759
action listed on poker Steak. Like those those players who

563
00:30:12,119 --> 00:30:15,119
could get knocked out obviously don't want to get knocked out,

564
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,160
so they need to probably show up and maybe try

565
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,960
and you know, get a couple more points so that

566
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,160
they can lock themselves in. So it's extremely interesting. I

567
00:30:24,319 --> 00:30:27,079
love it, you know, the poker geeking me loves this

568
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:28,880
sort of stuff. I love how it all shakes out.

569
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,240
I love the competition aspect at the end of the

570
00:30:31,279 --> 00:30:36,519
season here. But you know that's not all that's at stake,

571
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,400
because you've also thrown like another wrinkle into this whole

572
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,400
thing where you have like a separate leader board. I mean,

573
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,079
you have a separate leaderboard for the PGT Last Chance

574
00:30:47,119 --> 00:30:50,559
Series that's gonna award what three seats directly into the

575
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,880
Championship event, and then also five seats into the Dream

576
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,839
Seat Invitational. So why don't you talk about that and

577
00:30:57,119 --> 00:30:59,079
those additional seats and how they can be won.

578
00:31:00,039 --> 00:31:02,599
Speaker 2: Ye, So last year we did two dream seats. They

579
00:31:02,599 --> 00:31:06,519
were awarded to the two highest players on the PGT

580
00:31:06,599 --> 00:31:10,319
Last Chance Leaderboard that did not naturally qualify for the

581
00:31:10,319 --> 00:31:13,839
PGT Championship. So last year was Sam Laskowitz and Dylan

582
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,240
de Stefano. They both were not in the top forty,

583
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,039
but they were second and third on the PGT Last

584
00:31:19,079 --> 00:31:21,839
Chance leaderboard. They both won an event each, they got

585
00:31:21,839 --> 00:31:25,759
the seat into the PGT Championship. Sam unfortunately eliminated on

586
00:31:25,839 --> 00:31:29,160
the bubble in seventh place in that event. This year,

587
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,720
two is not enough. We're going to make it three.

588
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,599
So it's three dream seats up for grabs. The top

589
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,400
three that do not qualify for the PGT Million dollars

590
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,519
Championship will get direct entry, and then for the next

591
00:31:42,559 --> 00:31:45,920
five on the day before the Championship, we're doing a

592
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,920
Dream Seat Invitational. It's open to people that have a

593
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,160
Dream Pass. So these five people on this leaderboard willin

594
00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:56,119
Dream Pass. They will play this free role. People that

595
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,720
have won dream passes anywhere from annual subscribers, people on

596
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:04,000
social media, through other other platforms. You know, everyone's being

597
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:09,279
contacted and had their combination handled, everything like that. And

598
00:32:09,319 --> 00:32:13,480
then from that, six of those players will play the

599
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,319
PGT Championship. So even if you're not gonna win the

600
00:32:17,359 --> 00:32:20,559
lead aboard for PGT Last Chance, you're gonna have five

601
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,200
extra shots to win a Dream Pass and then once

602
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,880
you're in that, there's gonna be six stream seats there.

603
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,640
So we're trying to give as much chance for these

604
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,079
players to get in in any way possible. And also

605
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,599
if you're an annual subscriber or there's other ways for

606
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,519
you to potentially be in this million dollar free role. Too.

607
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, So at the end of the day, there will

608
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:45,240
be a maximum of fifty players in the PGT Million

609
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,160
Dollar Championship. There will be forty players up to forty

610
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,039
players on the leaderboard, you know, obviously pending everyone shows up,

611
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,400
and then there will be ten additional dream See winners.

612
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,200
So that will make up a feel of fifty. That

613
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,480
puts the value at twenty thousand dollars essentially for getting

614
00:33:02,519 --> 00:33:04,759
into this championship. Now you can probably debate that the

615
00:33:04,839 --> 00:33:07,279
value is probably worth a little bit more for Jeremy

616
00:33:07,279 --> 00:33:09,119
Osmas and a little bit less for you know, one

617
00:33:09,119 --> 00:33:11,079
of the dream See winners, just because they start with

618
00:33:11,359 --> 00:33:14,440
different chips. I guess why don't you hit on that?

619
00:33:15,599 --> 00:33:18,039
But right now, while we're at it, so you know,

620
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,680
the for the for the PGT Championship, the starting chips

621
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,039
have to do with your leaderboard finishing position.

622
00:33:25,119 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, we made a slant. You know, we made a

623
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,759
few changes this year to try and improve on the

624
00:33:30,759 --> 00:33:34,880
PGT Championship, one being that three cash eligibility. And then

625
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,119
the other thing we changed was starting stacks. Last year

626
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:42,079
was points based, So however many points you had, you know,

627
00:33:42,359 --> 00:33:44,200
basically chop off the last nun by that's how many

628
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,400
Big Minds you would start with. This year, we kind

629
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:52,519
of did set starting stacks, and we actually, in that

630
00:33:52,559 --> 00:33:54,960
same process gave the players a few more chips. So

631
00:33:56,279 --> 00:33:59,440
currently Jeremy Osmas two seven hundred and eighty nine points.

632
00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:02,680
Last year's format, he would ad two hundred and seventy

633
00:34:02,759 --> 00:34:04,720
nine Big Linds to start. This year is starting with

634
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,880
three hundred and fifty Big Linds. So we're waiting all

635
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,320
the players that qualify a little heavier with you know,

636
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,079
the fortieth place starting with one hundred and thirty Big Linds.

637
00:34:15,079 --> 00:34:18,440
You know, last year it was basically one hundred and eleven,

638
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,199
so he gets a little bit more. And then as

639
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,039
you go down the Dream Seat winners, the ones that

640
00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:27,599
qualified your PGT last chance, they started with one hundred

641
00:34:27,639 --> 00:34:31,000
and twenty five Big Linds, and then everyone below that

642
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:35,760
that wins in through the Dream Seat Invitational that will

643
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,320
start with one hundred big lines. So yes, there's a

644
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,039
few more chips in play. We're giving the players that

645
00:34:41,159 --> 00:34:45,000
have spent the time earning points and earning their qualification

646
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,280
a little bit of a deeper stack to give them,

647
00:34:48,559 --> 00:34:52,719
you know, a stronger chance to potentially win the championship.

648
00:34:53,599 --> 00:34:55,960
So that's yeah, that's the biggest kind of change we

649
00:34:56,079 --> 00:34:57,599
made to the starting sex.

650
00:34:58,599 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 1: I love it. I love the whole old concept behind

651
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:07,119
the PGT, the season long competition aspect, the leaderboard, battling

652
00:35:07,199 --> 00:35:09,679
all that sort of stuff. I like how you know,

653
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,119
the higher you finish up on the leaderboard, the more

654
00:35:12,199 --> 00:35:14,880
chips you start with, Like, you know, all in all,

655
00:35:15,199 --> 00:35:18,360
I think I'm pretty confident to say that there's nothing

656
00:35:18,519 --> 00:35:21,920
like this currently in poker. Yeah, there's possibly a million

657
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,960
dollar free rolls out there. Sure, Yeah there's Player of

658
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,599
the Year leaderboard's sure, but I don't think that there's

659
00:35:28,639 --> 00:35:31,639
anything that kind of encapsulates all this stuff that the

660
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,639
PGT does out there in poker. And I understand for

661
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,119
many of you listening, you'll probably think that that's Donnie

662
00:35:39,119 --> 00:35:43,599
just being a homer. But you know, I'm being honest.

663
00:35:44,079 --> 00:35:47,559
I do believe that you know so, And if you

664
00:35:47,639 --> 00:35:50,639
want to, I guess question me being a homer, I'll

665
00:35:50,639 --> 00:35:53,280
say that, you know, when the PGT was first announced

666
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:57,199
or it was like positioned, this was before my time

667
00:35:57,599 --> 00:36:00,000
with Poker Grow, and it was positioned as this ground

668
00:36:00,119 --> 00:36:04,119
breaking high stakes poker series, and that there's nothing groundbreaking

669
00:36:04,159 --> 00:36:07,519
about that. So but I would say that you know,

670
00:36:07,519 --> 00:36:10,360
it has evolved, you know, quite nicely, and largely because

671
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,960
of the man opposite the microphone of me, uh PGT

672
00:36:14,039 --> 00:36:18,800
Commissioner Tim Duckwish. So that's pretty cool overall. So ultimately,

673
00:36:19,039 --> 00:36:21,159
the Last Chance Series is gonna be it's gonna be

674
00:36:21,199 --> 00:36:24,280
a battle. You know, We're gonna be streaming every single

675
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,840
final table six days. It will it's six streams and

676
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,400
seven days because we will take Sunday off. Remco Rinkima

677
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,239
and myself will be on the call for those events.

678
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:39,079
So I'm very in tune with like what's happening, how

679
00:36:39,119 --> 00:36:41,239
the leaderboards shaking up. I kind of look over this

680
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,920
stuff and study it like a nerd because I love it.

681
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,679
So I would highly encourage you all to tune into

682
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,480
those streams because it's gonna be a lot of fun

683
00:36:49,519 --> 00:36:51,559
as we sweat this thing down right until the end.

684
00:36:51,599 --> 00:36:54,000
Then we'll have that that is it. Is there a

685
00:36:54,039 --> 00:36:56,119
day off or no, there's no.

686
00:36:56,119 --> 00:37:00,159
Speaker 2: Day off Sunday Sunday visit day on No.

687
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: But between the Last Chance and the Championship, no day off.

688
00:37:05,119 --> 00:37:09,480
The Championship starts on January tenth. It's a two day

689
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,760
event January tenth and eleventh. We plan to stream on

690
00:37:13,119 --> 00:37:16,880
both days, so PGT Last Chance will be streaming from

691
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,679
the third until the ninth, and then tenth and eleventh

692
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,400
will have that PGT Million Dollar Championship million dollars prize

693
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:27,360
pool put up by the Poker Go Tour. The top

694
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,639
forty players as ranked by the PGT Leaderboard. That's what

695
00:37:30,639 --> 00:37:33,719
everyone's going to be battling for during the PGT Last

696
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:38,159
Chance Series, and then also those select dream See winners.

697
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,000
Tim talked about that the field will ultimately be capped

698
00:37:41,039 --> 00:37:45,519
at fifty players. Starting chips are determined by leaderboard, finishing position.

699
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,880
And then what's the prize breakdown that you have for

700
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,039
us this year? Divving up this million dollar prize pool

701
00:37:52,039 --> 00:37:54,599
because in past years there have been times when it was,

702
00:37:54,599 --> 00:37:57,000
you know, winner take all. I sure it was what

703
00:37:57,079 --> 00:37:59,280
the top six? What are we doing this year?

704
00:37:59,559 --> 00:38:03,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned the two years ago Jason Kuhn won.

705
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,039
It was a five hundred thousand dollars winner take all.

706
00:38:06,639 --> 00:38:08,920
The next year we bumped it up to a million.

707
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:13,280
We paid the final six unlike a normal tournament payout.

708
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,480
We're here for some blood. First prize. Half the prize

709
00:38:16,519 --> 00:38:21,480
for five hundred thousand dollars, second two hundred k, third,

710
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,559
one hundred and twenty k, fourth, eighty fifth, sixty and

711
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,800
sixth is forty thousand dollars. So yeah, it's very top heavy,

712
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,760
but I think that's how we get told this. This

713
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,519
is what these guys want, you know, when they get

714
00:38:34,559 --> 00:38:36,239
there to the end, they want to win as much

715
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,280
money as possible. So and also, five hundred k first

716
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:43,800
prize sounds way cooler than a normal payout in this

717
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:44,679
event would have made.

718
00:38:46,159 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I think it's great. Plus, you know, once

719
00:38:48,519 --> 00:38:50,800
you had Kuhn winning the five hundred k winner take all,

720
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,239
I feel like you kind of just had to keep

721
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,599
firthplace the same, if not larger. I mean, I don't

722
00:38:55,599 --> 00:38:57,079
know if it will ever go larger, but you know,

723
00:38:57,159 --> 00:38:59,159
for right now, keep it at least at that five

724
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:03,760
hundred k. Do you have any I guess predictions for things.

725
00:39:05,079 --> 00:39:08,079
Mostly I guess mostly for Last Chance because that's you know,

726
00:39:08,119 --> 00:39:10,440
that's when everything gets locked in.

727
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just hope we have. You know, last year

728
00:39:13,039 --> 00:39:17,079
we had a really good Last Chance series, very consistent numbers,

729
00:39:17,119 --> 00:39:20,559
you know, high eighties for pretty much most of the events.

730
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,480
So I'd like to see that. I'd like to see

731
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,440
a very competitive series because I think that shows that

732
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,039
what we're doing on the PGT is healthy and people

733
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,840
want to be involved, want to be part of the

734
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,760
free role. They want to compete, whether they're competing for

735
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,679
the dream seats or they're competing for a few more

736
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,280
points to lock in their seat. I think that shows

737
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:47,159
that what we're doing is correct, like we're on the

738
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:51,280
right path hitting our goals. So that's kind of all

739
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,320
I asked for, is we get a good turnout. I've

740
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,159
already had players hit us up for wiring info and

741
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,519
telling us in person I'll be there or basically listing

742
00:40:00,559 --> 00:40:04,519
on poker stakes. So hopefully they you know, enjoy their

743
00:40:04,559 --> 00:40:08,440
Christmas with their family. Now they're sick of them. Now,

744
00:40:08,519 --> 00:40:10,159
they just want to get back and play some poker

745
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,880
and come down the studio in a couple of days.

746
00:40:13,519 --> 00:40:15,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know there were a couple of players asking

747
00:40:15,559 --> 00:40:19,079
me about the leaderboard stuff for PGT Last Chance, So

748
00:40:20,199 --> 00:40:23,280
I think, you know, signs are pointing in a positive

749
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,760
direction that the that the turnout is going to be good.

750
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,159
You know, as you mentioned when you went over kind

751
00:40:29,159 --> 00:40:31,119
of all the leaderboard stuff that's up for grabs. You know,

752
00:40:31,159 --> 00:40:34,000
you could be someone who has zero points but ultimately

753
00:40:34,039 --> 00:40:37,079
come in and still do very well. For example, like

754
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,039
just to use it. You know, a person who just

755
00:40:39,079 --> 00:40:41,079
want to boatload of money. Scott Stewart just wins two

756
00:40:41,119 --> 00:40:43,000
and a half million dollars. Maybe he now says, oh,

757
00:40:43,119 --> 00:40:45,079
maybe I'll try and you know, go play some of

758
00:40:45,079 --> 00:40:47,400
these events. Maybe I'll continue to run hot and I'll

759
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,000
top this leaderboard next thing, you know, I'm in the

760
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,920
PGT Million Dollar Championship, you know, so so yeah, you know,

761
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,119
there's stuff like that. So I think, uh, I think

762
00:40:55,159 --> 00:40:57,119
it's going to be a really fun series. I'm super

763
00:40:57,159 --> 00:41:00,000
excited for it. I love the streaming aspect of it

764
00:41:00,039 --> 00:41:01,599
because you get to watch it all kind of play

765
00:41:01,599 --> 00:41:04,239
out in real time. You know, I'm gonna do my

766
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,960
damnedest to kind of stay on top of the leaderboard stuff.

767
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,760
As we're doing the commentary, there's going to be a

768
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,239
lot of moving every single day. Maybe maybe you and

769
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,360
I will just hop on a podcast every day and

770
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,599
kind of go over everything. I don't know, Yeah, maybe

771
00:41:16,639 --> 00:41:18,679
we'll just do some kind of some quick hitters, you know,

772
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,320
like yeah, thirty minutes just the lay of the land

773
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,719
on house things shake out, because there's gonna be a

774
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,760
lot of shifting on not only the leaderboard for the

775
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,800
top forty, but also the series leaderboard with every single

776
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,880
event result. So I think that's worth getting out there

777
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:41,800
and publicizing as much as possible. I have a separate

778
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,599
topic that's not on the rundown because yeah, I mean,

779
00:41:45,639 --> 00:41:47,000
you know, I just kind of thought about it right

780
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,400
before we hit record. He said, you know what, I'm

781
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,280
just gonna I'm gonna bring it to the show. So

782
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,119
last episode, you said you're the best nolam at hold

783
00:41:53,199 --> 00:41:56,519
them on this podcast. I also saw it on social

784
00:41:56,599 --> 00:41:59,760
media today you once again said that. So I mean,

785
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,440
I feel like we need to like play for this.

786
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:02,280
Speaker 2: Oh god.

787
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,519
Speaker 1: So I mean, I don't know what you're doing after

788
00:42:05,639 --> 00:42:08,719
Christmas or you know now in these coming day coming

789
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,920
days after Christmas, but like there's plenty of dailies around town.

790
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,480
I feel like we should hit like a different one

791
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:13,960
every day.

792
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,679
Speaker 2: I mean, do you even have a bankroll left after

793
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:17,960
you No?

794
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: No I don't. But I did get some Christmas money

795
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,639
that I'm ready to light on fire. Okay, So so

796
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,760
that's what we're gonna do. But like you know, we

797
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,480
could do like the Saturday six pm at south Point.

798
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 2: Favorite.

799
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,079
Speaker 1: That's a good one, right, I'm definitely in for that one.

800
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:36,639
Is the are the wind Dailies back? I've been dying

801
00:42:36,639 --> 00:42:38,400
to play one of these wind Dailies. They have this

802
00:42:38,599 --> 00:42:41,079
massive one on Friday. It starts at noon. It's a

803
00:42:41,119 --> 00:42:42,360
forty k guarantee.

804
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 2: Never play that, but that's huge. I'm assuming it's back, right,

805
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,800
Why would they Why would they take any time off?

806
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, you know, there's got to

807
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,039
be one on like Sunday or something too. Like we

808
00:42:52,079 --> 00:42:53,760
could just hit like three of them in the weekend,

809
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:55,960
three different venues and we can see who has the

810
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:56,960
better results.

811
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 2: Look, it's not about one tournament just saying.

812
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,639
Speaker 1: That's I were doing three.

813
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean I just gotta I guess I

814
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,159
gotta bury you in person.

815
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,119
Speaker 1: We should We'll definitely do the south Point on Saturday,

816
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:11,719
for sure.

817
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:12,599
Speaker 2: It's my favorite.

818
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: We should put that out there on social media.

819
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:19,119
Speaker 2: To see out On rebuys, I mean, we can do

820
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,599
two rebuys or one of the fine, but I mean,

821
00:43:22,599 --> 00:43:24,480
every decision is we'll do it.

822
00:43:24,599 --> 00:43:27,559
Speaker 1: We'll just do it, like if I bust the first bull,

823
00:43:27,599 --> 00:43:30,639
but then by it's it's just whatever, but it doesn't count.

824
00:43:30,639 --> 00:43:33,199
But yeah, we can do whatever we can figure it.

825
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,840
I'm not gonna it always feels silly when I play

826
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,000
that thing to like go off for like four entries.

827
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,800
I've never gone off for four. I've only gone off

828
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,400
for three, but that was.

829
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 2: I think I've ever gone off for two. I don't

830
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:44,920
think I've ever reboarded.

831
00:43:44,519 --> 00:43:47,280
Speaker 1: That because you fold till the end of rigist I.

832
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,280
Speaker 2: Just I just know it's not even that I've busted

833
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,719
like level two before. Thanks go huh.

834
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'm already there. You I already dragged

835
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,760
my ass out of the house, drove down there. It's

836
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,880
a bitch to try and find part working at that place.

837
00:44:01,599 --> 00:44:05,159
It is, you know, it's just like the place is

838
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,400
jam packed. So it's just the pain in the ass

839
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,559
if I'm parking, So I'm like, you know what, I'm here.

840
00:44:10,599 --> 00:44:13,000
I got to stay here, like I gotta do something.

841
00:44:13,119 --> 00:44:15,840
So you know, what's the difference if I just if

842
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,320
I spend another whatever it was back then it was

843
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,239
one fifty. Now it's they have the two hundred dollars

844
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,559
buy in, so I'm looking forward to that. But we're

845
00:44:22,559 --> 00:44:24,639
definitely doing the one on Saturday and then we'll see

846
00:44:24,639 --> 00:44:26,320
if we can figure anything else for the other ones.

847
00:44:26,559 --> 00:44:28,800
I have to take the crown back because it's it's

848
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,559
a bit depressing. I went over my poker results for

849
00:44:31,639 --> 00:44:32,880
this year. I haven't cashed, and.

850
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 2: Like, that's what we should do in the next because

851
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:36,400
I haven't looked through my results yet. But we should

852
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:36,679
look at it.

853
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:37,519
Speaker 1: We did it last year.

854
00:44:37,559 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 2: We went we should we should throw our results in

855
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:40,400
the next month.

856
00:44:40,639 --> 00:44:42,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, so but this, you know, this can be like

857
00:44:42,679 --> 00:44:45,360
our kind of like last tournament of the year type

858
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,679
of thing. And I actually went through my results and

859
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,119
although I haven't cashed in what seems like in a

860
00:44:51,159 --> 00:44:54,760
live tournament in like six months, they're not as bad

861
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,199
as I thought. I thought I was down way more

862
00:44:57,199 --> 00:44:58,199
money this year.

863
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,679
Speaker 2: So let's say it. Because I haven't looked yet, I

864
00:45:00,679 --> 00:45:01,519
haven't reviewed everything.

865
00:45:01,559 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 1: Yea, you know, that's all. That's all I'm gonna say.

866
00:45:03,599 --> 00:45:06,599
Not super long on this episode, unlike the last episode

867
00:45:06,639 --> 00:45:08,960
when we went forever and we were getting yelled at

868
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:14,719
by a podcast producer extraordinary Rich Ryan. But but yeah,

869
00:45:14,039 --> 00:45:17,239
that'll put a bow on all the PGT stuff. Maybe

870
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,800
we'll have another episode before the year ends. Maybe we won't.

871
00:45:21,039 --> 00:45:24,280
If not, we'll definitely be hitting you with a bunch

872
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,119
in January because we got a whole lot of stuff

873
00:45:27,159 --> 00:45:30,679
happening on the Poker Go front, on the PGT front.

874
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,880
But for now, we will talk to you guys next time.

875
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:52,119
Speaker 2: So yeah,
