Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the
Speaker 1: Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donny Peters. His name
Speaker 1: is Tim Duckworth. I hope you guys had a lovely Christmas.
Speaker 1: I know I did. I think I did. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think anytime I can just kind of chill, it's
Speaker 1: probably lovely, although I have a hard time always just
Speaker 1: like chilling. It was your Christmas, good sir. I know,
Speaker 1: I know you said on the Blast Show that you
Speaker 1: already opened your gifts, so like just another day for you.
Speaker 2: I opened some gifts, you know, but it was good.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to watch what I ate, and I did
Speaker 2: not achieve that. We tried a new dessert this year,
Speaker 2: key lime cheesecake.
Speaker 1: Well, key lime anything sucks.
Speaker 2: So okay, that's the end of the shot. We'll see
Speaker 2: see you guys next.
Speaker 1: You want to go, you want to you want to
Speaker 1: rank your top five desserts.
Speaker 2: We've done definitely done that before, and key lime pie is.
Speaker 1: Top Like anything lime anything lemon dessert type of form
Speaker 1: is just absolutely disgusting to me.
Speaker 2: How about cheesecake? You okay with cheesecake?
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I'm every single year, I'm I'm essentially
Speaker 1: the I mean I am I'm the baker of the family,
Speaker 1: and I am tasked with making the desserts.
Speaker 2: So make the desserts. That's impressive because we never make desserts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm you know one. It's it's you know, healthier
Speaker 1: to usually make it all yourself too. I I enjoyed
Speaker 1: baking a bit, so this year I had a request
Speaker 1: for my blueberry sour cream coffee cake.
Speaker 2: I would crush that.
Speaker 1: So I made that. That's that's a long time favorite.
Speaker 1: And then I made a I made a new recipe,
Speaker 1: a chocolate cheesecake and I never made that before. So
Speaker 1: made that and that went well. And then I helped
Speaker 1: my wife make some sugar cookies for the kids. Her
Speaker 1: her idea of baking is, I'm gonna go to the store,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna buy the mix, and I'm gonna make it
Speaker 1: with the kids. I'm like, no, that's not like, listen,
Speaker 1: I don't care to like give my kids a lot
Speaker 1: of cookies. My oldest she's three and a half. You know,
Speaker 1: she doesn't really like sweets. It's actually kind of weird
Speaker 1: but also refreshing, but she hates chocolate. She hates sweets.
Speaker 1: I had a piece of chocolate the other day and
Speaker 1: she's like, Dad, your breast smells like chocolate. She wouldn't
Speaker 1: didn't go near me. I was like, okay, she likes
Speaker 1: to make the cookies with my wife, and I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I'll just I'll make the dough for you and then
Speaker 1: you can just come home and do the rest of it.
Speaker 1: So so yeah, so I made that. But love baking,
Speaker 1: love love cooking in general. So yeah, little impromptu family pod.
Speaker 1: I guess it was all right? Yeah, no, not sponsored.

Speaker 1: let's get into what we're talking about on this episode.
Speaker 1: First up, Texas Plo Roundup. That took place a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, but do want to put a bow
Speaker 1: on it? A thirty three hundred dollars buying one million
Speaker 1: dollars guaranteed main event. It drew four hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: four entries with one hundred and seventy unique player. So
Speaker 1: people were in there and they were firing one million,
Speaker 1: four hundred and twenty two thousand dollars in the prize pool,
Speaker 1: which is well clear of the million dollars guarantee. The
Speaker 1: top fifty five places paid. Lawrence Chang proved best amongst
Speaker 1: all competitors, topping the field for a three hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars win. He beat Andrew eg Egay. Is that how
Speaker 1: you say it? In a heads up play? Two hundred
Speaker 1: K for him, Sonovio Ramirez third place, one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty K, sterl In Seville, eighty K for fourth place,
Speaker 1: Kyle Aurora fifth place for sixty K. Sean Rafael got
Speaker 1: sixth for fifty one thousand. Ladarren Banks we see him
Speaker 1: in the studio quite a bit, so, you know, over
Speaker 1: the season, especially for the PLO stuff seventh place, four
Speaker 1: banks forty three thousand dollars. David Misruloff, who ran deep
Speaker 1: in the Texas Poker Open as well. Right, did he
Speaker 1: be the in then.
Speaker 2: He catched like five times that series.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he went deep in the main event too,
Speaker 1: And I remember being in the chat. He's one of
Speaker 1: the best players out of Texas for sure. Mazruloff got
Speaker 1: eighth place for thirty five point five. Matthew Macchiochi probably
Speaker 1: butchered that last name terribly, I'm sorry, thirty five point
Speaker 1: five for him as well, and then Zenis carol Ampo
Speaker 1: twenty nine k four tenth place. Some other notable finishes
Speaker 1: here we got Arthur Morris fifteenth place for eighteen thousand dollars,
Speaker 1: Chantroja twentieth for fourteen thousand dollars, Ben Ludlow twenty fourth
Speaker 1: eleven thousand dollars. Ren Lynn, who's you know again. We
Speaker 1: talked last time about all the success he's having in
Speaker 1: the latter half of this year and success here as well.
Speaker 1: With an asterisk because he was in for like eighty
Speaker 1: five thousand goals, didn't he have to come in like
Speaker 1: fifth place or something to break even something.
Speaker 2: Insane, something like that.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, so he got twenty six for eleven k.
Speaker 1: Jordan Griff twenty seventh for eleven thousand dollars, and that's
Speaker 1: notable because.
Speaker 2: He is now qualified for the PGT Million Dollar Championship.
Speaker 2: That was his third cash.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jordan Griff obviously notably second place in the Wspy
Speaker 1: main event behind Jonathan Tomayo, but he needed to get
Speaker 1: a third cash. What was it Poker Masters or was
Speaker 1: it the Plokilo series, the PGTPLO series. He was out,
Speaker 1: he was battling. He did not get his third cast there,
Speaker 1: but then he headed on down to Texas and he
Speaker 1: was able to tick that box. You do have to
Speaker 1: have three PGT cash and be within the top forty
Speaker 1: points wise to qualify for the PGT Million Dollar Championship.
Speaker 1: Tim and I are going to get into that a
Speaker 1: little bit more later in this episode. But Jordan Griff
Speaker 1: notable twenty seventh place finished here because he does get
Speaker 1: that third cash. Then you had Ronald Kaiser thirtieth for
Speaker 1: nine thousand dollars, Josh Aria forty first for seventy five
Speaker 1: hundred Alex Livingston forty fourth for sixty five hundred and
Speaker 1: Matthew Wantman forty seventh, also for sixty five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: There were some other events as part of the Texas
Speaker 1: Plo roundup that were PGT qualifying events. There were three
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars high rollers. You had Adam Hendrix, Curtis Muller,
Speaker 1: and Ronald Kaiser winning those three events. Hendricks top to
Speaker 1: field of twenty three entries to win almost fifty two
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, Mueller top the field of twenty entries to
Speaker 1: win fifty four thousand dollars, and then Kaiser chopped with
Speaker 1: Arthur Morris. They both took home just over forty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars each. Kaiser was the one who walked away with
Speaker 1: that beautiful Texas bell buckle. A right, sir, you're the
Speaker 1: you're the commissioner of the PGT. You love Texas, you
Speaker 1: love the steaks at Champions Club, you rock the boots,
Speaker 1: the hat, the whole damn thing. Surprise, you don't ride
Speaker 1: a horse there?
Speaker 2: I love.
Speaker 1: Yeah. You were on site, yes, down just outside of
Speaker 1: Houston or in Houston. How did the event go? Would
Speaker 1: you grade it as a success. I know there was
Speaker 1: some i'll say worry, but it's like a small w
Speaker 1: worry going in being like, this is a million dollar guarantee.
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on in the region poker wise.
Speaker 1: Are we going to hit it? No one's ever done
Speaker 1: a million dollar guarantee for a potlom and Omaha event,
Speaker 1: So you know, give us your thoughts, any interesting tibots
Speaker 1: that you want to share, all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Obviously, like you mentioned, million dollar guarantee, you never
Speaker 2: been done before in a in a multi flight PLO event,
Speaker 2: so you know, there's no data on that. We had
Speaker 2: no idea if it was going to crush, if we
Speaker 2: were going to get crushed. Everyone was very bullish on
Speaker 2: us hitting it any Problembviously, you kind of mentioned there
Speaker 2: was a lot of poker going on, especially in Texas.
Speaker 2: There was events in Houston, there was events up in Austin,
Speaker 2: so that drew some players away from ours. But as
Speaker 2: you kind of mentioned, one point four million dollars in
Speaker 2: the prize pool, we crushed the guarantee and the event
Speaker 2: went great. We had people coming out that we expected,
Speaker 2: We had a lot of new faces. You know. It
Speaker 2: did help the certain players were in for lots of bullets,
Speaker 2: including the champion, Lawrence, he was in for nine bullets.
Speaker 1: Nine bullets.
Speaker 2: Holy lord, Well the seven fight, it's understandable. But yeah,
Speaker 2: all round, it was a great series. We have already
Speaker 2: one hundred percent going to run this back probably a
Speaker 2: very similar time in twenty twenty five, just have to
Speaker 2: you know, we'll make a little a few little changes
Speaker 2: here to the schedule to try and get maximum numbers.
Speaker 2: But great series. It was, you know, pretty fun. You
Speaker 2: know the PGT. We brought in the PGT PLO series
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three. You know, we've done that four
Speaker 2: times now. We haven't set for twenty twenty five, and
Speaker 2: this was our first PLO series outside of the studio
Speaker 2: and you know, it hit green green check marks all round. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was definitely a great series.
Speaker 1: So a million dollar guarantee for a PLO tournament, you know,
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, seemed a little bit lofty, but lofty
Speaker 1: is good when you're doing poker tournament guarantees. You said it,
Speaker 1: you said, crush the guarantee, you know, one point four
Speaker 1: to two million in the price. Well at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, so clearing the guarantee, my question to
Speaker 1: you is would you like to raise the bar or
Speaker 1: push to get that bar raised as it pertains to
Speaker 1: the guarantee, Maybe go to one point five, maybe go
Speaker 1: to two million, Like, is there any sort of thought
Speaker 1: there from you, any discussions that are already happening. What's
Speaker 1: your temperature in that regard?
Speaker 2: Yeah, knowing that we lost players due to the competing series,
Speaker 2: if that's not an issue next year and hopefully the
Speaker 2: Texas poker community kind of teams up together to do
Speaker 2: what's best for Texas and that's not schedule over the
Speaker 2: top of each other. But if that's the case and we,
Speaker 2: you know, we have that period to ourselves, I think
Speaker 2: we have to help to guarantee, and both you and
Speaker 2: me are probably going to be more conservative. I personally
Speaker 2: think it could easily just go to one point five.
Speaker 2: Whether or our champions want to just go that big
Speaker 2: straight away is another question. I think easily one point
Speaker 2: two five is just an easy, you know, little uptick
Speaker 2: that shouldn't make the champions club team sweat it at all.
Speaker 2: It's just whether or not they want to do the
Speaker 2: one point five is probably going to be the question
Speaker 2: we kind of bounce back and forth on when we
Speaker 2: stop planning this for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: You also mentioned, you know, doing some things to kind
Speaker 1: of improve the numbers all around. I would say probably
Speaker 1: more specifically towards some of the side events, the high
Speaker 1: role events that happening. You know, we're nothing if we're
Speaker 1: not fair on this podcas SO Commission. What are some
Speaker 1: areas that you would like to improve upon for next
Speaker 1: year's Texas PLO around them?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we started too small with the buy ins.
Speaker 2: We started about three hundred. We missed that guarantee by
Speaker 2: like two or three players, and we did a four
Speaker 2: hundred miss by you know, another handful of players. Once
Speaker 2: we hit those the bigger numbers, the one k's especially,
Speaker 2: we exceeded the guarantees. So it says that, you know,
Speaker 2: the local community doesn't really want to play small PLO events.
Speaker 2: I want to play the bigger ones, obviously when we
Speaker 2: talk about the four hundred and seventy four in the
Speaker 2: main as well. So a concern of mine going in
Speaker 2: was sending people broke too quickly if you have kind
Speaker 2: of big buy inside events. But as you see by
Speaker 2: these numbers, that really wasn't the case. So starting next
Speaker 2: year we'll probably not really build around such smaller buy
Speaker 2: and starting a three hundred and escalating all the way
Speaker 2: up to three k. We may just start at the
Speaker 2: five six, one thousand mark really attract players to get
Speaker 2: there from the start high rollers. That's an interesting one.
Speaker 2: You know, I didn't have you know, massive numbers, and
Speaker 2: it was you know, majority of our players. When I
Speaker 2: say our players, the PGT regulars traveling from Vegas or
Speaker 2: traveling from out of town. It didn't really draw the
Speaker 2: locals like we had thought. So probably want to have
Speaker 2: a look at that again and see how we can
Speaker 2: maybe improve on that. Maybe it's just two high rollers
Speaker 2: instead of three, but that's probably the two negatives that
Speaker 2: come out of that series.
Speaker 1: I think, Well, do you think that this series should
Speaker 1: have a series leaderboard attached to it and with that,
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully generate some more interest in these high
Speaker 1: roller events, because you know, there might be some local
Speaker 1: players that say, hey, I'm going to kind of fire
Speaker 1: my one shot in this main event. It's got the
Speaker 1: million dollar guarantee, big price pool, all that sort of stuff,
Speaker 1: and I don't need to bother with the the high
Speaker 1: rollers because there's really nothing to chase in them, right,
Speaker 1: You know, versus when we do even the PLO series,
Speaker 1: in the Mixed Game series, you know, anything that we do,
Speaker 1: we always have these leaderboards attached to it. So should
Speaker 1: we look at attaching a leaderboard to this sort of
Speaker 1: thing to hopefully, you know, attract some more interest in
Speaker 1: the side events that have to do with the PGT.
Speaker 2: Look that was brought up when we did the Texas
Speaker 2: Poker Open as well, and I think it's the way
Speaker 2: we schedule this series with the multi flight main event
Speaker 2: and the high roller is overlapping the opening flights for
Speaker 2: people that have bagged it. I don't think adding a
Speaker 2: leaderboard prize actually changes that much. So I probably wouldn't
Speaker 2: opt for a leaderboard prize. I would just kind of
Speaker 2: configure the schedule a little better for players and work
Speaker 2: on you know. Obviously now we've laid the groundwork for
Speaker 2: a successful series, so that should help for the next
Speaker 2: year's promotion. But yeah, I don't think. I just don't
Speaker 2: think a leadable would work or really incentivize people to
Speaker 2: play play events and play you know, a multitude of events,
Speaker 2: because if you look at the lead like I do,
Speaker 2: a leaderboard just for tracking purposes, and even though someone
Speaker 2: like Arthur Morris cash in the main event finish runner
Speaker 2: up in two high Rollers, he only scored eighty a
Speaker 2: PGT points versus the winner, Lawrence, who got three hundred,
Speaker 2: So a leaderboard in this aspect's not going to work
Speaker 2: as much as like a PGTPLO series where you need
Speaker 2: to win multiple events cash multiple times to potentially win.
Speaker 2: It's just a yeah, it's just a completely different series,
Speaker 2: and I don't think it would work.
Speaker 1: I have one suggestion, okay, but two suggestions, actually two suggestions.
Speaker 1: I have no idea if this first one they're about
Speaker 1: to say is even a thing. So if it has
Speaker 1: already been a thing, then forgive me for being an idiot.
Speaker 1: Everyone that wins one of those smaller opening events should
Speaker 1: win a seat to the main event as part of
Speaker 1: their price. Good point them in there, and then you know,
Speaker 1: because you're down there, you know, doing the live reporting.
Speaker 1: We're streaming multiple days, you know, we can hit on
Speaker 1: that person. You're like, you know, hey, Jim Smith, you
Speaker 1: own the three hundred dollar opener and you also got
Speaker 1: into this event, like you know, to tell us about that.
Speaker 1: But whatever, that's additional kind of marketing, and that's a good,
Speaker 1: good story to have second to that. Not this this
Speaker 1: last series that h the WPT and winded for the
Speaker 1: World Championship event. But I think it was last year
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three where throughout the year when they when
Speaker 1: they had these satellites, they were doing photos of like
Speaker 1: the satellite winners, and like they would all kind of
Speaker 1: hold up a ticket or something and they would all
Speaker 1: stand there and sometimes there would be three of them,
Speaker 1: sometimes there would be ten of them.
Speaker 2: Whatever.
Speaker 1: But like I think that helps you know, so every
Speaker 1: time that there's a satellite winner or a group of
Speaker 1: satellite winners, you know, take a photo of them. If
Speaker 1: you're Champions Club, you know, they can send it to us.
Speaker 1: Of course, we can put it out there and promote it.
Speaker 1: Maybe we have some nice tickets drawn up. Because it
Speaker 1: allows people to actually see the satellites in motion, and
Speaker 1: like a couple things like one, you start to see
Speaker 1: like the number of people that have won satellites, which
Speaker 1: then draws in more interest in attending the event, you know,
Speaker 1: if you're somebody who's like chasing an event that has
Speaker 1: some decent value. Also, if you see a bunch of
Speaker 1: people in a photo that you know you don't recognize
Speaker 1: because they're recreational as you say, oh, this looks like
Speaker 1: it might be a decent value you feel now, you
Speaker 1: obviously have no idea if they're a good or bad
Speaker 1: player or whatever, but just not recognizing a bunch of
Speaker 1: faces is, you know, lends you to think that it's
Speaker 1: a good thing. So those two things I would like
Speaker 1: to see for next year. But of course, you know
Speaker 1: who the heck knows any more thoughts on the Texas
Speaker 1: people around up from you.
Speaker 2: Before we move on, No, just looking forward to running
Speaker 2: it back next year. Same with the Texas Poker Open.
Speaker 2: We have some hopefully a pretty fun idea cooking with
Speaker 2: that one to try and encourage some players to get
Speaker 2: in early. So yeah, starting to draw up those plans
Speaker 2: and hopefully, you know, early January we can get that
Speaker 2: announcement out there, get people to stop lucking it in
Speaker 2: the accountless you're going to come this time? Remember you
Speaker 2: said last time? Yeah, so you'll come into play?
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, the Texas pokero Open, Yeah, I would like
Speaker 1: to come play. I would like to I would like
Speaker 1: to start making one poker centric trip a year. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's kind of like my idea in my head now,
Speaker 1: of course, I got two young kids, I got a wife,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Like it's not can't just like, you know,
Speaker 1: get up and fuck off for a week, you know,
Speaker 1: as much as I might like to. But yeah, so
Speaker 1: part of my idea is maybe it's something where I
Speaker 1: can bring the family. And I think we've talked about
Speaker 1: this before, you know, like I think like Florida would
Speaker 1: be a decent stop because you know, I know, something
Speaker 1: a hard rock and like it's a good property to
Speaker 1: stay at and they have the pool and all that
Speaker 1: sort of stuff, and there's stuff to do around the
Speaker 1: area and whatnot. I'm not sure if Champions Club qualifies
Speaker 1: as like a place I would bring my family to.
Speaker 1: I just don't know what's around that area. That said,
Speaker 1: I'm fully prepared to just ask the wife if I
Speaker 1: can go for you know, four days or whatever, and
Speaker 1: you know, maybe I'll come down there and play, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of the tail end of the main events. You know,
Speaker 1: I think it would be good just from a work
Speaker 1: perspective to be there on site to see the event
Speaker 1: in motion, you know, all that sort of stuff. You know,
Speaker 1: help out wherever I can help out, et cetera. So yeah,
Speaker 1: so I would like to get down there during this
Speaker 1: time and for this uh, for this series for sure,
Speaker 1: you know one I've just been itching to go seems
Speaker 1: like a great place to go play poker. The action
Speaker 1: seems awesome, and the tournament itself seems highly valuable, So
Speaker 1: you know that would be uh, would be great. So
Speaker 1: it's it's certainly in the front of my mind that
Speaker 1: I'm trying to make it happen. So we'll see if
Speaker 1: I can actually make that happen. Let's now move the
Speaker 1: topic of conversation to PGT Last Chance, but kind of
Speaker 1: more so just about the PGT lead aboard itself as
Speaker 1: we are entering the Last Chance Series. So the PGT
Speaker 1: Last Chance Series is something that Tim put together last year.
Speaker 1: It's back this year. It's a series of six ten
Speaker 1: thousand dollars by an events. It's the final Chance, hence
Speaker 1: the name PGT Last Chance to earn some points and
Speaker 1: to ultimately qualify for the PGT Million Dollar Championship. We'll
Speaker 1: hit on the details a little bit more in a
Speaker 1: second about PGT Last Chance, but do want to overview
Speaker 1: the leaderboard as things stand right now on the PGT
Speaker 1: the top five is still unchanged. You got Jeremy Osmas
Speaker 1: up on top with twenty seven and eighty nine points.
Speaker 1: Daniel Legrandu is in second place, more than seven hundred
Speaker 1: points behind Jeremy Ozmas. So it's very, very very likely
Speaker 1: that Jeremy Comus will be crowned the twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: PGT Player of the Year. Of course, it's not one
Speaker 1: hundred percent yet, but it is very much looking like
Speaker 1: that's going to happen. Third place Seth Davies, fourth place
Speaker 1: Michael Rocco, and fifth place Jesse Lonis. And then I
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier. The PGT Million Dollar Championship is open to
Speaker 1: the top forty players as ranked by the PGT Leaderboard.
Speaker 1: As things currently stand. Right now, the cutoff is justin
Speaker 1: Saliba in fortieth place with nine hundred and twenty one points.
Speaker 1: So if things were to end today, the cutoff is
Speaker 1: nine to twenty one, and everyone above that would qualify
Speaker 1: as long as you do have those three qualifying caches.
Speaker 1: So there are players that are inside the top forty
Speaker 1: who need to get a third or need to get
Speaker 1: the three PGT cashes I should chase, because some of
Speaker 1: them have two, some of them have won. Those players
Speaker 1: are Jonathan Tomayo, Brian Kim, Nicholas Ostett aka Lena nine hundred,
Speaker 1: Jason Segel, Boris Angelov, Matthew Lambreckt Andras Gonzalez, Elie Nakash
Speaker 1: and Mellow Latin Waw. So it is Jason Segel and
Speaker 1: Andras Gonzalez that need two cases and then everyone else
Speaker 1: just needs one cash. Jonathan Tomaio has been chasing this
Speaker 1: third cash like crazy. He has action right now listed
Speaker 1: on poker steak dot com, So if you want some
Speaker 1: action of the current WSP Main Event champion, you can
Speaker 1: head on over to poker steak dot com. There are
Speaker 1: a bunch of people who have action listed for the
Speaker 1: PGT Last Chance Series, but Jonathan Tomio is one of them.
Speaker 1: As he chases that third cash. He's in good standing too,
Speaker 1: like he's in sixth place right now, seventeen hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty points. So in terms of like how things break out,
Speaker 1: where you're standing has to do with the amount of
Speaker 1: chips that you start with in the actual PGT Million
Speaker 1: Dollar Championship. If Tamaio is able to get that third cash,
Speaker 1: then he would enter the PGT Championship with you know,
Speaker 1: a good a good starting stack. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: I'll hit on that in just a second, but I
Speaker 1: want to just run through. So the way that Tim
Speaker 1: has its structured is, should none of those nine get
Speaker 1: three cashes? You know, if anyone doesn't get it, then
Speaker 1: somebody gets bumped up, right, So like let's say Jonathan
Speaker 1: Tomaow doesn't get a third cash, everyone else does, then
Speaker 1: the person in forty first place would qualify because essentially
Speaker 1: you just remove Jonathan Tomorrow from the leaderboard. Everyone would
Speaker 1: get slotted up one spot. And that's how it would work.
Speaker 1: So now let's, you know, for hypothetical purposes, let's assume
Speaker 1: none of those nine get another get to three cashes,
Speaker 1: so they're all out. Who would be in in this order?
Speaker 1: Here's how it would go. Matthew Wantman, Isaac Hackson, Sergio Ido,
Speaker 1: Ren Lynn, Danny Tang, Steven Chidwick, Brock Wilson, Taylor von Kregenberg,
Speaker 1: excuse me, and Brex Scutten. Now, of course, there is
Speaker 1: the PGT Last Chance Series coming up, so there's points
Speaker 1: to be had in the series those tournaments, so there's
Speaker 1: still a lot of moving and shaking to happening. But
Speaker 1: that's kind of the lay of the land right now.
Speaker 1: As the leader board shakes out, then of course you
Speaker 1: guys can head on over to PGT dot com slash
Speaker 1: leaderboard if you want to look at the leaderboard yourself.
Speaker 1: You can see how many points people have, you can
Speaker 1: see where they're ranked. You can see how much money
Speaker 1: they've won this PGT season. You know, how many cashes
Speaker 1: they have wins, all that sort of stuff. Tim, you
Speaker 1: have the strongest finger on the pulse when it comes
Speaker 1: to the PGT, when it comes to the PGT leaderboard.
Speaker 1: So how do you anticipate this all shaking out? Have
Speaker 1: you been in touch with these players who need another
Speaker 1: cash or need to get to three? Like, how is
Speaker 1: this all going to kind of solidify in these next
Speaker 1: you know what two weeks or so three weeks?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I love this PGT Lost Chance Series
Speaker 2: because I think it incentivizes people, you know, to chase
Speaker 2: position on the leaderboard. It also, you know, it does
Speaker 2: help with a little bit of a warm up to
Speaker 2: the championship. But then also the fact that you know,
Speaker 2: you could have not played at a single event all year,
Speaker 2: you can come here potentially win a dream seat and
Speaker 2: be in the championship. Regarding these players, obviously, I've talked
Speaker 2: a lot with Jonathan, talked a lot with Matthew Lambresh,
Speaker 2: and I believe you've spoken to Brian Kim. They're all aware,
Speaker 2: they all know what they need to do. You know,
Speaker 2: Tomato's already listed events. Lambresh played every event of the
Speaker 2: Poker Masters, played every event that qualify at the NAPT
Speaker 2: So they're chasing their their third cash. They understand the
Speaker 2: ev they would gain by just you know, qualifying for
Speaker 2: the free roll. Some of these other guys that you know,
Speaker 2: final table with the main event haven't haven't been able
Speaker 2: to contact some are aware, So whether we see them,
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, but I'm hoping, you know, they turn up,
Speaker 2: make it a nice competitive series. And then for these
Speaker 2: people the fringe, even if you're like, you know, you
Speaker 2: touched on Matthew Wantman and Hackson and Sergio and Rendley
Speaker 2: and all these people being in, well, there's also people
Speaker 2: below them that could leap frog them. So that's where
Speaker 2: it really gets interesting for me, is you know, we're
Speaker 2: talking about everyone from say thirtieth on the leaderboard down
Speaker 2: where they're kind of obviously looking to move up the
Speaker 2: leaderboard and lock their spot in the also have this
Speaker 2: pressure from the players below them where they could potentially
Speaker 2: get knocked out. So you know, just getting a min
Speaker 2: cash and potentially moving up two, three, four, five spots
Speaker 2: is going to be really huge. And that's what I'm
Speaker 2: looking forward to seeing the not the race. I don't
Speaker 2: want to really care, you know, Osmus Nigrano, they may
Speaker 2: not even show up, that's fine, But I just want
Speaker 2: to see how the race is on the bottom end
Speaker 2: of the leaderboard and how every decision carries so much
Speaker 2: EV in this free roll because just making it, you know,
Speaker 2: you're gaining what is it about twenty thousand dollars worth
Speaker 2: of EV just to sit in this free roll. So
Speaker 2: that's what I'm looking forward to. The six events.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean listen, remind everyone last year how
Speaker 1: Jim Callipy was sweating it so literally the final event,
Speaker 1: like the final like is this person going to cash?
Speaker 1: Are they not going to cash? Am I going to
Speaker 1: get in? Am I not going to get in? He
Speaker 1: ultimately didn't get in, and you know you got to
Speaker 1: kind of see that heartbreak, you know, first hand, for
Speaker 1: Jim Collopy. You know, Jim Callipy is very much within
Speaker 1: the top forty. He's currently in seventh place. He has
Speaker 1: all the qualifications locked up, He's got nineteen cashes already.
Speaker 1: He's on fire. And then just speaking of Jim Callipy,
Speaker 1: he just won the two ten k events ten k
Speaker 1: PO and ten K Nolan hold him to close the Yeah,
Speaker 1: I believe that.
Speaker 2: I saw.
Speaker 1: So he closed the WPT World Championship Series, you know,
Speaker 1: with the bank. So he's riding a bit of a
Speaker 1: high right now. And of course we know how good
Speaker 1: Jim is a poker and how much of a you know,
Speaker 1: tough competitor he's out there, so he's not going to
Speaker 1: be anyone you know that's that's just going to be
Speaker 1: rolled over, you know, come the championship event. But yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you know, you all these people right at
Speaker 1: the bottom of the leaderboard who are gonna be like
Speaker 1: fighting to stay in, you know, like the Scott Severs,
Speaker 1: Alex Fox, AND's Jonathan Little. I know Jonathan Little has
Speaker 1: action listed on poker Steak. Like those those players who
Speaker 1: could get knocked out obviously don't want to get knocked out,
Speaker 1: so they need to probably show up and maybe try
Speaker 1: and you know, get a couple more points so that
Speaker 1: they can lock themselves in. So it's extremely interesting. I
Speaker 1: love it, you know, the poker geeking me loves this
Speaker 1: sort of stuff. I love how it all shakes out.
Speaker 1: I love the competition aspect at the end of the
Speaker 1: season here. But you know that's not all that's at stake,
Speaker 1: because you've also thrown like another wrinkle into this whole
Speaker 1: thing where you have like a separate leader board. I mean,
Speaker 1: you have a separate leaderboard for the PGT Last Chance
Speaker 1: Series that's gonna award what three seats directly into the
Speaker 1: Championship event, and then also five seats into the Dream
Speaker 1: Seat Invitational. So why don't you talk about that and
Speaker 1: those additional seats and how they can be won.
Speaker 2: Ye, So last year we did two dream seats. They
Speaker 2: were awarded to the two highest players on the PGT
Speaker 2: Last Chance Leaderboard that did not naturally qualify for the
Speaker 2: PGT Championship. So last year was Sam Laskowitz and Dylan
Speaker 2: de Stefano. They both were not in the top forty,
Speaker 2: but they were second and third on the PGT Last
Speaker 2: Chance leaderboard. They both won an event each, they got
Speaker 2: the seat into the PGT Championship. Sam unfortunately eliminated on
Speaker 2: the bubble in seventh place in that event. This year,
Speaker 2: two is not enough. We're going to make it three.
Speaker 2: So it's three dream seats up for grabs. The top
Speaker 2: three that do not qualify for the PGT Million dollars
Speaker 2: Championship will get direct entry, and then for the next
Speaker 2: five on the day before the Championship, we're doing a
Speaker 2: Dream Seat Invitational. It's open to people that have a
Speaker 2: Dream Pass. So these five people on this leaderboard willin
Speaker 2: Dream Pass. They will play this free role. People that
Speaker 2: have won dream passes anywhere from annual subscribers, people on
Speaker 2: social media, through other other platforms. You know, everyone's being
Speaker 2: contacted and had their combination handled, everything like that. And
Speaker 2: then from that, six of those players will play the
Speaker 2: PGT Championship. So even if you're not gonna win the
Speaker 2: lead aboard for PGT Last Chance, you're gonna have five
Speaker 2: extra shots to win a Dream Pass and then once
Speaker 2: you're in that, there's gonna be six stream seats there.
Speaker 2: So we're trying to give as much chance for these
Speaker 2: players to get in in any way possible. And also
Speaker 2: if you're an annual subscriber or there's other ways for
Speaker 2: you to potentially be in this million dollar free role. Too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So at the end of the day, there will
Speaker 1: be a maximum of fifty players in the PGT Million
Speaker 1: Dollar Championship. There will be forty players up to forty
Speaker 1: players on the leaderboard, you know, obviously pending everyone shows up,
Speaker 1: and then there will be ten additional dream See winners.
Speaker 1: So that will make up a feel of fifty. That
Speaker 1: puts the value at twenty thousand dollars essentially for getting
Speaker 1: into this championship. Now you can probably debate that the
Speaker 1: value is probably worth a little bit more for Jeremy
Speaker 1: Osmas and a little bit less for you know, one
Speaker 1: of the dream See winners, just because they start with
Speaker 1: different chips. I guess why don't you hit on that?
Speaker 1: But right now, while we're at it, so you know,
Speaker 1: the for the for the PGT Championship, the starting chips
Speaker 1: have to do with your leaderboard finishing position.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we made a slant. You know, we made a
Speaker 2: few changes this year to try and improve on the
Speaker 2: PGT Championship, one being that three cash eligibility. And then
Speaker 2: the other thing we changed was starting stacks. Last year
Speaker 2: was points based, So however many points you had, you know,
Speaker 2: basically chop off the last nun by that's how many
Speaker 2: Big Minds you would start with. This year, we kind
Speaker 2: of did set starting stacks, and we actually, in that
Speaker 2: same process gave the players a few more chips. So
Speaker 2: currently Jeremy Osmas two seven hundred and eighty nine points.
Speaker 2: Last year's format, he would ad two hundred and seventy
Speaker 2: nine Big Linds to start. This year is starting with
Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty Big Linds. So we're waiting all
Speaker 2: the players that qualify a little heavier with you know,
Speaker 2: the fortieth place starting with one hundred and thirty Big Linds.
Speaker 2: You know, last year it was basically one hundred and eleven,
Speaker 2: so he gets a little bit more. And then as
Speaker 2: you go down the Dream Seat winners, the ones that
Speaker 2: qualified your PGT last chance, they started with one hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty five Big Linds, and then everyone below that
Speaker 2: that wins in through the Dream Seat Invitational that will
Speaker 2: start with one hundred big lines. So yes, there's a
Speaker 2: few more chips in play. We're giving the players that
Speaker 2: have spent the time earning points and earning their qualification
Speaker 2: a little bit of a deeper stack to give them,
Speaker 2: you know, a stronger chance to potentially win the championship.
Speaker 2: So that's yeah, that's the biggest kind of change we
Speaker 2: made to the starting sex.
Speaker 1: I love it. I love the whole old concept behind
Speaker 1: the PGT, the season long competition aspect, the leaderboard, battling
Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff. I like how you know,
Speaker 1: the higher you finish up on the leaderboard, the more
Speaker 1: chips you start with, Like, you know, all in all,
Speaker 1: I think I'm pretty confident to say that there's nothing
Speaker 1: like this currently in poker. Yeah, there's possibly a million
Speaker 1: dollar free rolls out there. Sure, Yeah there's Player of
Speaker 1: the Year leaderboard's sure, but I don't think that there's
Speaker 1: anything that kind of encapsulates all this stuff that the
Speaker 1: PGT does out there in poker. And I understand for
Speaker 1: many of you listening, you'll probably think that that's Donnie
Speaker 1: just being a homer. But you know, I'm being honest.
Speaker 1: I do believe that you know so, And if you
Speaker 1: want to, I guess question me being a homer, I'll
Speaker 1: say that, you know, when the PGT was first announced
Speaker 1: or it was like positioned, this was before my time
Speaker 1: with Poker Grow, and it was positioned as this ground
Speaker 1: breaking high stakes poker series, and that there's nothing groundbreaking
Speaker 1: about that. So but I would say that you know,
Speaker 1: it has evolved, you know, quite nicely, and largely because
Speaker 1: of the man opposite the microphone of me, uh PGT
Speaker 1: Commissioner Tim Duckwish. So that's pretty cool overall. So ultimately,
Speaker 1: the Last Chance Series is gonna be it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a battle. You know, We're gonna be streaming every single
Speaker 1: final table six days. It will it's six streams and
Speaker 1: seven days because we will take Sunday off. Remco Rinkima
Speaker 1: and myself will be on the call for those events.
Speaker 1: So I'm very in tune with like what's happening, how
Speaker 1: the leaderboards shaking up. I kind of look over this
Speaker 1: stuff and study it like a nerd because I love it.
Speaker 1: So I would highly encourage you all to tune into
Speaker 1: those streams because it's gonna be a lot of fun
Speaker 1: as we sweat this thing down right until the end.
Speaker 1: Then we'll have that that is it. Is there a
Speaker 1: day off or no, there's no.
Speaker 2: Day off Sunday Sunday visit day on No.
Speaker 1: But between the Last Chance and the Championship, no day off.
Speaker 1: The Championship starts on January tenth. It's a two day
Speaker 1: event January tenth and eleventh. We plan to stream on
Speaker 1: both days, so PGT Last Chance will be streaming from
Speaker 1: the third until the ninth, and then tenth and eleventh
Speaker 1: will have that PGT Million Dollar Championship million dollars prize
Speaker 1: pool put up by the Poker Go Tour. The top
Speaker 1: forty players as ranked by the PGT Leaderboard. That's what
Speaker 1: everyone's going to be battling for during the PGT Last
Speaker 1: Chance Series, and then also those select dream See winners.
Speaker 1: Tim talked about that the field will ultimately be capped
Speaker 1: at fifty players. Starting chips are determined by leaderboard, finishing position.
Speaker 1: And then what's the prize breakdown that you have for
Speaker 1: us this year? Divving up this million dollar prize pool
Speaker 1: because in past years there have been times when it was,
Speaker 1: you know, winner take all. I sure it was what
Speaker 1: the top six? What are we doing this year?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned the two years ago Jason Kuhn won.
Speaker 2: It was a five hundred thousand dollars winner take all.
Speaker 2: The next year we bumped it up to a million.
Speaker 2: We paid the final six unlike a normal tournament payout.
Speaker 2: We're here for some blood. First prize. Half the prize
Speaker 2: for five hundred thousand dollars, second two hundred k, third,
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty k, fourth, eighty fifth, sixty and
Speaker 2: sixth is forty thousand dollars. So yeah, it's very top heavy,
Speaker 2: but I think that's how we get told this. This
Speaker 2: is what these guys want, you know, when they get
Speaker 2: there to the end, they want to win as much
Speaker 2: money as possible. So and also, five hundred k first
Speaker 2: prize sounds way cooler than a normal payout in this
Speaker 2: event would have made.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I think it's great. Plus, you know, once
Speaker 1: you had Kuhn winning the five hundred k winner take all,
Speaker 1: I feel like you kind of just had to keep
Speaker 1: firthplace the same, if not larger. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: know if it will ever go larger, but you know,
Speaker 1: for right now, keep it at least at that five
Speaker 1: hundred k. Do you have any I guess predictions for things.
Speaker 1: Mostly I guess mostly for Last Chance because that's you know,
Speaker 1: that's when everything gets locked in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just hope we have. You know, last year
Speaker 2: we had a really good Last Chance series, very consistent numbers,
Speaker 2: you know, high eighties for pretty much most of the events.
Speaker 2: So I'd like to see that. I'd like to see
Speaker 2: a very competitive series because I think that shows that
Speaker 2: what we're doing on the PGT is healthy and people
Speaker 2: want to be involved, want to be part of the
Speaker 2: free role. They want to compete, whether they're competing for
Speaker 2: the dream seats or they're competing for a few more
Speaker 2: points to lock in their seat. I think that shows
Speaker 2: that what we're doing is correct, like we're on the
Speaker 2: right path hitting our goals. So that's kind of all
Speaker 2: I asked for, is we get a good turnout. I've
Speaker 2: already had players hit us up for wiring info and
Speaker 2: telling us in person I'll be there or basically listing
Speaker 2: on poker stakes. So hopefully they you know, enjoy their
Speaker 2: Christmas with their family. Now they're sick of them. Now,
Speaker 2: they just want to get back and play some poker
Speaker 2: and come down the studio in a couple of days.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know there were a couple of players asking
Speaker 1: me about the leaderboard stuff for PGT Last Chance, So
Speaker 1: I think, you know, signs are pointing in a positive
Speaker 1: direction that the that the turnout is going to be good.
Speaker 1: You know, as you mentioned when you went over kind
Speaker 1: of all the leaderboard stuff that's up for grabs. You know,
Speaker 1: you could be someone who has zero points but ultimately
Speaker 1: come in and still do very well. For example, like
Speaker 1: just to use it. You know, a person who just
Speaker 1: want to boatload of money. Scott Stewart just wins two
Speaker 1: and a half million dollars. Maybe he now says, oh,
Speaker 1: maybe I'll try and you know, go play some of
Speaker 1: these events. Maybe I'll continue to run hot and I'll
Speaker 1: top this leaderboard next thing, you know, I'm in the
Speaker 1: PGT Million Dollar Championship, you know, so so yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: there's stuff like that. So I think, uh, I think
Speaker 1: it's going to be a really fun series. I'm super
Speaker 1: excited for it. I love the streaming aspect of it
Speaker 1: because you get to watch it all kind of play
Speaker 1: out in real time. You know, I'm gonna do my
Speaker 1: damnedest to kind of stay on top of the leaderboard stuff.
Speaker 1: As we're doing the commentary, there's going to be a
Speaker 1: lot of moving every single day. Maybe maybe you and
Speaker 1: I will just hop on a podcast every day and
Speaker 1: kind of go over everything. I don't know, Yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: we'll just do some kind of some quick hitters, you know,
Speaker 1: like yeah, thirty minutes just the lay of the land
Speaker 1: on house things shake out, because there's gonna be a
Speaker 1: lot of shifting on not only the leaderboard for the
Speaker 1: top forty, but also the series leaderboard with every single
Speaker 1: event result. So I think that's worth getting out there
Speaker 1: and publicizing as much as possible. I have a separate
Speaker 1: topic that's not on the rundown because yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, I just kind of thought about it right
Speaker 1: before we hit record. He said, you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna I'm gonna bring it to the show. So
Speaker 1: last episode, you said you're the best nolam at hold
Speaker 1: them on this podcast. I also saw it on social
Speaker 1: media today you once again said that. So I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel like we need to like play for this.
Speaker 2: Oh god.
Speaker 1: So I mean, I don't know what you're doing after
Speaker 1: Christmas or you know now in these coming day coming
Speaker 1: days after Christmas, but like there's plenty of dailies around town.
Speaker 1: I feel like we should hit like a different one
Speaker 1: every day.
Speaker 2: I mean, do you even have a bankroll left after
Speaker 2: you No?
Speaker 1: No I don't. But I did get some Christmas money
Speaker 1: that I'm ready to light on fire. Okay, So so
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna do. But like you know, we
Speaker 1: could do like the Saturday six pm at south Point.
Speaker 2: Favorite.
Speaker 1: That's a good one, right, I'm definitely in for that one.
Speaker 1: Is the are the wind Dailies back? I've been dying
Speaker 1: to play one of these wind Dailies. They have this
Speaker 1: massive one on Friday. It starts at noon. It's a
Speaker 1: forty k guarantee.
Speaker 2: Never play that, but that's huge. I'm assuming it's back, right,
Speaker 2: Why would they Why would they take any time off?
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, you know, there's got to
Speaker 1: be one on like Sunday or something too. Like we
Speaker 1: could just hit like three of them in the weekend,
Speaker 1: three different venues and we can see who has the
Speaker 1: better results.
Speaker 2: Look, it's not about one tournament just saying.
Speaker 1: That's I were doing three.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean I just gotta I guess I
Speaker 2: gotta bury you in person.
Speaker 1: We should We'll definitely do the south Point on Saturday,
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 2: It's my favorite.
Speaker 1: We should put that out there on social media.
Speaker 2: To see out On rebuys, I mean, we can do
Speaker 2: two rebuys or one of the fine, but I mean,
Speaker 2: every decision is we'll do it.
Speaker 1: We'll just do it, like if I bust the first bull,
Speaker 1: but then by it's it's just whatever, but it doesn't count.
Speaker 1: But yeah, we can do whatever we can figure it.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna it always feels silly when I play
Speaker 1: that thing to like go off for like four entries.
Speaker 1: I've never gone off for four. I've only gone off
Speaker 1: for three, but that was.
Speaker 2: I think I've ever gone off for two. I don't
Speaker 2: think I've ever reboarded.
Speaker 1: That because you fold till the end of rigist I.
Speaker 2: Just I just know it's not even that I've busted
Speaker 2: like level two before. Thanks go huh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'm already there. You I already dragged
Speaker 1: my ass out of the house, drove down there. It's
Speaker 1: a bitch to try and find part working at that place.
Speaker 1: It is, you know, it's just like the place is
Speaker 1: jam packed. So it's just the pain in the ass
Speaker 1: if I'm parking, So I'm like, you know what, I'm here.
Speaker 1: I got to stay here, like I gotta do something.
Speaker 1: So you know, what's the difference if I just if
Speaker 1: I spend another whatever it was back then it was
Speaker 1: one fifty. Now it's they have the two hundred dollars
Speaker 1: buy in, so I'm looking forward to that. But we're
Speaker 1: definitely doing the one on Saturday and then we'll see
Speaker 1: if we can figure anything else for the other ones.
Speaker 1: I have to take the crown back because it's it's
Speaker 1: a bit depressing. I went over my poker results for
Speaker 1: this year. I haven't cashed, and.
Speaker 2: Like, that's what we should do in the next because
Speaker 2: I haven't looked through my results yet. But we should
Speaker 2: look at it.
Speaker 1: We did it last year.
Speaker 2: We went we should we should throw our results in
Speaker 2: the next month.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so but this, you know, this can be like
Speaker 1: our kind of like last tournament of the year type
Speaker 1: of thing. And I actually went through my results and
Speaker 1: although I haven't cashed in what seems like in a
Speaker 1: live tournament in like six months, they're not as bad
Speaker 1: as I thought. I thought I was down way more
Speaker 1: money this year.
Speaker 2: So let's say it. Because I haven't looked yet, I
Speaker 2: haven't reviewed everything.
Speaker 1: Yea, you know, that's all. That's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1: Not super long on this episode, unlike the last episode
Speaker 1: when we went forever and we were getting yelled at
Speaker 1: by a podcast producer extraordinary Rich Ryan. But but yeah,
Speaker 1: that'll put a bow on all the PGT stuff. Maybe
Speaker 1: we'll have another episode before the year ends. Maybe we won't.
Speaker 1: If not, we'll definitely be hitting you with a bunch
Speaker 1: in January because we got a whole lot of stuff
Speaker 1: happening on the Poker Go front, on the PGT front.
Speaker 1: But for now, we will talk to you guys next time.
Speaker 2: So yeah,
