Speaker 1: I talk about here. So so let's just let's just
Speaker 1: get right into it and the reason why we're doing
Speaker 1: this is you know, it's Sunday night as I mentioned earlier,
Speaker 1: but tomorrow on my Day, is the official start of
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five Poker gro Tour season, with the
Speaker 1: first event of the PGT Kickoff series five thousand dollars
Speaker 1: buy in double points. For all five of these events,
Speaker 1: we will be live streaming the final tables on poker
Speaker 1: Go Remco and myself will be doing the commentary. So
Speaker 1: if that's your sort of jam, hop on in there
Speaker 1: and give it a listen. It's a it's a really
Speaker 1: fun series just to start things off, so I'm very
Speaker 1: much looking forward to it. After the PGT Kickoff, we
Speaker 1: got the Poker Go Cup, the first of three majors
Speaker 1: on the tour. Who's gonna win it, Buddy, Poker Go
Speaker 1: Cup this year, A'm I gonfess I'm asking you who's
Speaker 1: gonna win it?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take Jeremy Osmas. Oh wow, yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 1: I mean just I'm not gonna get you off the bat.
Speaker 2: H even what prepare for some chalk because you got
Speaker 2: a lot of chalk coming up. That's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1: All Right, you got Jeremy Osmus, who has won the
Speaker 1: Poker Girl Cup before, Yes, so he would become a
Speaker 1: two time winner of the Poker Girl Cup. I'm going
Speaker 1: with Brock Wilson, Okay. I feel like Brock is close
Speaker 1: on a lot of occasions to making some noise in
Speaker 1: a as it pertains to a major series champion on
Speaker 1: the PGT. You know, he's kind of always like hovering
Speaker 1: in contention. Right, So this is the year I think
Speaker 1: Rock Wilson knocks one of those off, and I'll say
Speaker 1: that Brock Wilson is going to win the Poker Grol Cup.
Speaker 1: The next major that we have, the US Poker Open
Speaker 1: coming up in what April? Okay, who's gonna win that one?
Speaker 2: That one's going to be won by Canadian Daniel O'Gara.
Speaker 1: Canadian Daniel Okay, Okay, I got Alex Foxen.
Speaker 2: Okay, you know we're all chalk right now.
Speaker 1: I mean, why is that chalk? Considering how Foxon's year
Speaker 1: was last year, barely made it into the top forty
Speaker 1: very much at all.
Speaker 2: Have a great year. Yeah, that's how it works.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that the third of the majors of
Speaker 1: the major series, I should say, Poker Masters coming up
Speaker 1: later this year, September October ish something around there. Who's
Speaker 1: gonna win that one? The Purple Jacket.
Speaker 2: It's a guy that's gonna skip the cup and skip
Speaker 2: the USPR Steven Childwick.
Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, so you got a couple of double winners. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because Jeremy Osmas has already won the poperst Cut, Stephen
Speaker 1: Chidwick has already won the Purple Jacket, So you're going
Speaker 1: with them to win again. I'm gonna go with Sean Winter,
Speaker 1: a player who is for sure regular on the PGT,
Speaker 1: but I feel like often overlooked, Like I feel like
Speaker 1: he's always there and like top five, top three stuff
Speaker 1: like that. But you know, I don't know, I feel
Speaker 1: like a Chidwick and a Grand new and Ozmas like
Speaker 1: they get kind of more the the headlines or you know,
Speaker 1: people know about them more than a Shawn Winter. But
Speaker 1: Shawn Winter is a crusher on the PGT every single year,
Speaker 1: all right. I mean, I get the Super High Rollable
Speaker 1: is a major, but it's not a series really, so
Speaker 1: I kind of just have that aside. But anyway, who's
Speaker 1: gonna win Super high Rollerball this year?
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, which Super High Rollerble three two?
Speaker 2: We have three actually now, so you're talking no limit.
Speaker 2: Are we talking about if it's in America or if
Speaker 2: it's in international waters?
Speaker 1: Fine, let's let's that's audible. Just give me, just give
Speaker 1: me all three. So who's gonna win superhi rollable Nolan
Speaker 1: A hold them, who's gonna win super high rollable PLO?
Speaker 1: And who's gonna win this pipetream idea that you and
Speaker 1: Philip Sternheimer have super high rollable mixed games.
Speaker 2: Well, let's let's let's go in order. Mixed games first
Speaker 2: coming March six to eighth. We go, dan Zach gonna
Speaker 2: win that one. I'm going to move on to the
Speaker 2: PLO one because that's going to be first if my
Speaker 2: schedule holds. I'm gonna I'm going to say Jared Blesnik,
Speaker 2: you know, close last year one of the year before,
Speaker 2: he's going to come back and win it again. And
Speaker 2: the No Limit one, we're going to get him out
Speaker 2: here in a America playing our events again. Adrian Mitaos,
Speaker 2: there you go.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with super high rollable mixed games. Is
Speaker 1: Jason Mercier comes out for the one off high buying
Speaker 1: Mixed event and rips it off p l O. I'll
Speaker 1: go with josh Aria and Super high Rollable Nolan mat Holden,
Speaker 1: regular Alex Foxen.
Speaker 2: Again your team FOEC.
Speaker 1: See that trend that I was talking about, Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: this is this is.
Speaker 2: This is it. I can guess who's going to be
Speaker 2: your next spec event.
Speaker 1: Who will win PGT Player of the Year. It was
Speaker 1: Jeremy Osmas last year, then of course he went on
Speaker 1: to win the PGT Million Dollar Championship as well. Who's
Speaker 1: going to top the leader board at the end of
Speaker 1: the regular season this year?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the guy that's gonna play the most
Speaker 2: events out of all possible people you can name, and
Speaker 2: that's Canadian Daniel McGrane.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but is he going to play the most events?
Speaker 2: Play the most events? I already know Ozmas is skipping
Speaker 2: Mixed Game Series FOX and doesn't really play that much.
Speaker 1: Makes yeah, but it isn't it? Yeah? But if so,
Speaker 1: if Ozma's is skipping the mixed games or whatever, doesn't
Speaker 1: Daniel skip five ks will be there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but more points in the Mixed Game Series it's
Speaker 2: tens and there's one hundred.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm only saying in terms of a play
Speaker 1: the most events I'm playing.
Speaker 2: I mean play the most events with points. But I'm
Speaker 2: still taking it. I'm Team Canada. You want to your
Speaker 2: fame is is team fox My team is Team Canada.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm gonna pick someone who also staying on
Speaker 1: trend Alex Foxhen, but a person that could be easily
Speaker 1: play the most events. Yes, he Foxing is there every day,
Speaker 1: every single day, playing everything. So you got Nigranny for
Speaker 1: PGT Player of the Year. I have Alex Foxhen. So
Speaker 1: this next one. Since the pgt's inception in twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: there have been six players who have finished inside the
Speaker 1: top forty of the leaderboard every single season. Now I
Speaker 1: know the first year was the top twenty one, but
Speaker 1: I just looked at the top forty.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Those players are Alex Foxon, Daniel mgranu, Jeremy Osmas, Sam Silverrill,
Speaker 1: Sean Winter, and Steven Chidwick. So these are like the
Speaker 1: if there was a Mount Rushmore of the PGT, these
Speaker 1: six are on it. I know Mount Rushmore is four,
Speaker 1: but hell, we're sticking six on it. It doesn't matter. It's
Speaker 1: our show. These are the six. Like these guys are,
Speaker 1: They're always in the mix for a series title. They're
Speaker 1: always in the field like you talked about, you know,
Speaker 1: in the GRANU playing the most events, like these six
Speaker 1: play the most events, like it can kind of be
Speaker 1: one of these, you know, I know, I know Chidwick
Speaker 1: played a little bit less last year. You know, Silver
Speaker 1: played a little bit less last year. But maybe they
Speaker 1: come back or they play their regular stuff this year,
Speaker 1: and you know, they're playing the most events possible. These
Speaker 1: six players are just they're there every single day. You
Speaker 1: can really count on them, you know, you can really
Speaker 1: just pretty much bank the fact that they're going to
Speaker 1: be in contention for different major titles, if not all
Speaker 1: of them, and then of course for the top forty
Speaker 1: of the leaderboard. The question is the first question. There's
Speaker 1: two questions as it pertains to these six players. Who's
Speaker 1: going to have the best PGT season? I think you
Speaker 1: already answered it, We didn't we both answer that. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: pretty much, Yeah, okay, I mean so you said Negran
Speaker 1: for PGT Player of the Year. I said Fox, All right,
Speaker 1: who's going to have the worst season? This is the
Speaker 1: more fun part of the question, anyway.
Speaker 2: What do you define as the worst season?
Speaker 1: Though one okay doesn't show up like over I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's Stephen Chadwick. And the main reason is
Speaker 2: we're talking about volume here.
Speaker 1: You know, he is just said he's going to win
Speaker 1: the Purple Jacket.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I said, if you remember, he's going to
Speaker 2: skip the first two series because he's going to be
Speaker 2: off gallivanting on epts and trying events and living in
Speaker 2: Portugal at the beach playing on gg poker. So of
Speaker 2: all the he's the only one that's international. He's more
Speaker 2: likely to travel to these other stops, not based here
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas. And if you look at last year's leaderboard,
Speaker 2: he only snuck in finish fortieth. So he is, you know,
Speaker 2: the I guess favorite amongst these mount rushmore and a
Speaker 2: half of players to fall out and have the worst season.
Speaker 1: I'm going with Sam silverall And it's not that Sam
Speaker 1: soverl is you know, any any less of a player
Speaker 1: than anyone else on this list. And he's extremely talented
Speaker 1: and all that, but it just seems like in recent years,
Speaker 1: in recent seasons, like the last season and a half,
Speaker 1: maybe full two seasons, he's just played less. Yeah, doesn't
Speaker 1: show up every single day. Kind of kind of takes
Speaker 1: the approach of he's gonna play when he feels like
Speaker 1: he wants to play, doesn't really force himself to be
Speaker 1: out there grinding an entire series, like he'll pop in
Speaker 1: for like event number two, Skip three, four, come for five,
Speaker 1: like you know, he does that all the time. So
Speaker 1: just that alone, I'll say that he won't have the
Speaker 1: volume that I think these other players will have. Therefore,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that he's gonna have the worst season
Speaker 1: out of them. And the way that I looked at
Speaker 1: the worst is he'll finish the lowest and the leader
Speaker 1: of these six heres. So all right, will any of
Speaker 1: these six players finish outside of the top forty?
Speaker 2: I think I think Childwick. I think he may fall out.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have a lot more I think local, own
Speaker 2: and operated events in Vegas and around America this year.
Speaker 2: So I think the math says he may fall out.
Speaker 1: I got soverall falling in. I just again, the volume
Speaker 1: thing I think will ultimately kind of bite him at
Speaker 1: the end of the day. All right, So pick three
Speaker 1: players that didn't finish in the top forty from the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four season to finish in the top forty
Speaker 1: from the twenty twenty five season.
Speaker 2: Do you want to go firsts. What do you want
Speaker 2: to make it fest? I mean, you name a name.
Speaker 2: I don't name a name.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna rip off all three of mine. But
Speaker 1: I do want to say that for anyone new that's listening.
Speaker 1: The reason I keep saying top forty of the PGT
Speaker 1: Leaderwards because the top forty is what qualifies for the
Speaker 1: season ending PGT Million Dollar Championship pending. You get you know,
Speaker 1: the right number of cases at least three, and you
Speaker 1: opt in. So so yeah, that's why I keep referencing
Speaker 1: top forty, just so you're aware. I got Brock Wilson
Speaker 1: going with my guy who I picked him in the
Speaker 1: Poke Girl Cup. I got Shannon Shore. Interesting, Okay, I
Speaker 1: like that now he made it into the Championship via
Speaker 1: the dream seats from the Last Chance Series, but didn't
Speaker 1: in the top forty. But I think Shannon like has
Speaker 1: had you know, a little bit of a swinging momentum,
Speaker 1: a little bit of a heater this year. That helps
Speaker 1: the bank roll. That means you can play more. You know,
Speaker 1: he's always playing in the studio. Now it's just a
Speaker 1: matter of volume. I think we see him put in
Speaker 1: a little bit more volume and then I got Sam Laskowitz.
Speaker 1: I got him, you know, he was he wasn't too
Speaker 1: far outside the top forty this year. Fight until the end,
Speaker 1: but I got him getting up in there. So Wilson,
Speaker 1: Shore and Laskowitz for.
Speaker 2: Me, done any research on this have I Yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't know what that means. Sam Lesquit's about that baby.
Speaker 1: Who gives a shit? He's a fucking poke.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just saying, you know what it's like, having
Speaker 2: a baby and trying to play poker makes a little tougher.
Speaker 1: I'm a normal person. Poker player is not right?
Speaker 2: That is that is actually true? Okay. I think my
Speaker 2: three players are going to take Matt Wantman, you know,
Speaker 2: finished just outside the top forty this year last year.
Speaker 1: Sorry, that's a good one.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think he's he's good to get in. I
Speaker 2: gotta take my boy. He's giving me grief. Jeremy Becker,
Speaker 2: this is his season. He is gonna make the top forty.
Speaker 2: And then my third one is Joey Weisman skip the
Speaker 2: back half of the year. I think he still finished
Speaker 2: like in the top sixty. He did play PGT Last Chance,
Speaker 2: had a final table there, but pretty much skipped the
Speaker 2: back half of the season and still was just within
Speaker 2: reaching distance of the top forty. So if he puts
Speaker 2: in a full year of volume, he's my he's my
Speaker 2: pick to get in there this year.
Speaker 1: All right. So this next one, I'm gonna go first
Speaker 1: again because it's picked three players from the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four top forty to fall outside this year. I don't
Speaker 1: just pick like Jonathan Tomayo and the WSPH.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's fine, Yeah, good, Yeah, that's.
Speaker 1: So I went with Sam's overall shocker. I've shown him
Speaker 1: so far. This one might be a surprise to you,
Speaker 1: but I got redlinn. Wow. My reason is so listen,
Speaker 1: I love Redlin, He's an absolute character. But I just
Speaker 1: I feel like last season he started to do a
Speaker 1: little bit of a dancing around the globe in terms
Speaker 1: of like where he's playing and what he's doing. Played
Speaker 1: some more Triton stuff, was that, some EPT stuff, all
Speaker 1: of this. So what if he just doesn't play a
Speaker 1: lot of the PGT stuff. What if he just says,
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe I'll just bounce around and play
Speaker 1: other stuff. So who knows that? That's kind of my
Speaker 1: my lean there. And then so I know that this
Speaker 1: next name is I guess technically w S a P
Speaker 1: final table related, but he also played enough of our
Speaker 1: events that I felt like I included him. That's Brian Kim,
Speaker 1: and he played.
Speaker 2: You got some inside of information.
Speaker 1: I don't have any inside from I'm rank him. I
Speaker 1: just I just feel like he might just be kind
Speaker 1: of over tournaments. It's a freaking brind man, or at
Speaker 1: least over like such a big grind. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, he lives in Australia, maybe he's maybe he
Speaker 1: doesn't chase as much. I don't know. I just you know,
Speaker 1: who knows.
Speaker 2: I'm not taking Stephen Hildwick, but I'm going to take
Speaker 2: three players that had very good wsps, but you could
Speaker 2: kind of count as regular as just due to volume
Speaker 2: and previous history. First one, Scott sever you know, he
Speaker 2: only had eight cashs. He had two big wins in
Speaker 2: PGT qualifying events at the WSP, so you know, he
Speaker 2: won Player of the Year who had an outstanding series,
Speaker 2: and who knows, he may just go back to Bobby's
Speaker 2: room for the entire summer and not play a single
Speaker 2: WSP event, so he's out.
Speaker 1: Don't tell the people at WPT there I saw on
Speaker 1: their bold predictions him to win three bracelets.
Speaker 2: Again, well he's they're idiots. No, I love those guys,
Speaker 2: but there it is. My next one is is Philip Ivy. Now, yes,
Speaker 2: he doesn't play in the studio, but he plays every
Speaker 2: PGT qualifying event. He had I think eight or nine
Speaker 2: cashes at the WSP last year. He had a couple
Speaker 2: at the Super High Rollers series in Cypress. He had
Speaker 2: a great year. Obviously, one he's eleventh bracelet. He ain't
Speaker 2: going to repeat that, he's gone. And then my third one,
Speaker 2: someone I wish was playing more PGT events in the
Speaker 2: studio is Chance Corneth. He's told me why he doesn't
Speaker 2: come to the studio that often, but he does love
Speaker 2: the WSP and he had I think four final tables
Speaker 2: which pretty much thrust him into the top twenty at
Speaker 2: one point, and then he didn't play anything else. So
Speaker 2: obviously it was a big season from him at the WSP.
Speaker 2: It would be tough to repeat that. I think he
Speaker 2: will be one that also falls out of the top four.
Speaker 1: All right, who's going to have a breakout season on
Speaker 1: the PGT?
Speaker 2: I mean from some guy that complains a lot about
Speaker 2: the breakout player of the year for the GPI Awards.
Speaker 2: I can't believe you put this question in, But how
Speaker 2: do we define breakout season? What do you want to
Speaker 2: define it as? Because that's the way I'm. I didn't
Speaker 2: have anyone written down because I'm.
Speaker 1: My definition of it as it pertains to the PGT
Speaker 1: is like they're not really known as much to the
Speaker 1: PGT fan base, Like they're not they're not at Alex
Speaker 1: faxon the Grand New Jeremy alsm A Soverall Winter Chiitwig,
Speaker 1: et cetera. They just haven't had those those really big
Speaker 1: breakthrough seasons. Like I would basically say, like somebody that
Speaker 1: is this season's David Coleman from last season who came out,
Speaker 1: had those wins early, you know, performed really well all
Speaker 1: season long, mayor to the championship, you know, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: He basically became a name. I mean everyone, most of
Speaker 1: the people that play on the PGT are already names.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like you have to you have to like perform
Speaker 1: on the PGG. You've got to start winning tournaments, win
Speaker 1: one of the series titles, like get into the top forty,
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. So that's how I got I
Speaker 1: got one. Go ahead, Michael Joseph Oh I thought of him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think by the way, I think
Speaker 2: he qualifies for all those you know, deliverables that you mentioned.
Speaker 1: I have John Reardon, King John Reardon, who puts in
Speaker 1: a crap of volume on the PGT, but like never
Speaker 1: like it all every season on the PGT. It like
Speaker 1: gets to the end of the season and I'm like,
Speaker 1: where's John Reardon points? And I look, he's got like
Speaker 1: two hundred. I'm like, what, Like he's here every day,
Speaker 1: What's what's happening? And like he's it's not like he's
Speaker 1: not cashing. It just said. He just really doesn't make
Speaker 1: final tables is the thing. You know, he kind of
Speaker 1: just cashes a lot if he does anything. I'm expecting
Speaker 1: a big year out of King John Reardon.
Speaker 2: Let's go. Can you wait wait, let me let me
Speaker 2: this is very surprising to me. In the old time
Speaker 2: pe GT rankings, where does John Riordan rank on most
Speaker 2: cashes most cases? Now, I'm gonna give you some numbers.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you some like bullet points twelve. That's
Speaker 2: really high.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I don't know.
Speaker 2: Oh, it was seventeenth, which I was extremely what's tied
Speaker 2: for sixteenth. Actually yeah, but very surprises a lot, and
Speaker 2: forty one is a lot of cashes.
Speaker 1: He gets like twelve cashes a season, and he's just like,
Speaker 1: it's like twelve cashes two hundred points. Like I'm like, like,
Speaker 1: I look, I look going into the last chance and
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, he's got to be like you know
Speaker 1: right there, right, No, he's like nowhere to be found.
Speaker 1: He's like one hundred and eighth.
Speaker 2: He averages forty four points per cash, which is probably
Speaker 2: slightly high than we thought.
Speaker 1: But yeah, but he doesn't have like the he doesn't
Speaker 1: have the wins, Like he doesn't get like the you know,
Speaker 1: all the wins. So yeah, Jeremy Os must be talked
Speaker 1: about him. PGT Player of the Year. He won the
Speaker 1: PGT Million Dollar Championship perdict his twenty twenty five season.
Speaker 1: You can take that however you want. This is your
Speaker 1: canvas paint.
Speaker 2: How you will He will finish top five on the leaderboard,
Speaker 2: but I have a worse season point wise. That is
Speaker 2: my prediction.
Speaker 1: So I also said top five on the leaderboard, and
Speaker 1: then I put three wins fifteen cashes.
Speaker 2: Oh you want to do it that way?
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean you can do whatever you want. I
Speaker 1: don't have I don't have that exact thing for all
Speaker 1: the people that we're going to do this for. So
Speaker 1: I just said for Ozmas, he'll get three wins. He'll
Speaker 1: have fifteen cashes, So that would mean more wins than
Speaker 1: last year. Last year he only had one win. Right,
Speaker 1: it would be fewer cashes because he was at like
Speaker 1: twenty something whatever the heck it was, Yeah, cash twenty six,
Speaker 1: I think, so he'll have fewer cashes and then I
Speaker 1: still have him top five on the leader board. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's just he's an incredible player, and he puts in
Speaker 1: the volume. So I still think he can easily finish
Speaker 1: up at the top. And I also think, you know,
Speaker 1: I feel like Jeremy will want to defend the title,
Speaker 1: which is a good thing. I think he'll be out
Speaker 1: for that. You know, it would be a cool thing
Speaker 1: for him to go back to back if that word
Speaker 1: to happen, And I think it'd be something he would
Speaker 1: want to chase, all right. Predict Daniel mgran New's twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five PGT season, Well, I.
Speaker 2: Already think he's gonna win. So I'm gonna say he's
Speaker 2: gonna win everything. Yeah, you know osamaus twenty nine hundred
Speaker 2: points last season, that's a lot. I think Negrano is
Speaker 2: gonna have twenty seven hundred points. Two wins, call it
Speaker 2: twenty five cashes.
Speaker 1: Okay. I said top five on the leaderboard for Negranu,
Speaker 1: and I said wins one of the PLO series. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think he's just a supremely underrated polo player. We
Speaker 1: got two of those series every single year. I know
Speaker 1: he's gonna be out playing everything as it pertains to
Speaker 1: those series. So yeah, I got Negranu winning one of
Speaker 1: the PGT PLO series on his way to a top
Speaker 1: five better board finish. All right, predict Jeremy Becker's twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five PGT season.
Speaker 2: Zero wins, But okay, he's gonna break one thousand PGT
Speaker 2: points and qualify for the PGT Million Dollar Championship. Wow.
Speaker 1: Okay, I said two studio wins. He had his first week,
Speaker 1: he had his first studio win last season. I got
Speaker 1: him win in two. And I also said he's going
Speaker 1: to finish inside the top forty. So two studio wins
Speaker 1: Rebecker inside the top forty. Let's go, all right, as
Speaker 1: it pertains to the PGT. This is the last thing
Speaker 1: we'll talk about, and then we'll move on to general
Speaker 1: poker stuff. Three storylines you're going to keep an eye
Speaker 1: on this PGT season.
Speaker 2: Trying to keep it in I guess calendar order. But
Speaker 2: first one to me is seeing if we can double
Speaker 2: down on our success that we had in Texas Texas
Speaker 2: but grew up and Peeler round Up. Both events had
Speaker 2: great numbers. You know, we always say that our first
Speaker 2: time event, the next time you do it always drops
Speaker 2: down a little bit. But I'm hoping that we can
Speaker 2: kind of improve on everything we did, both schedule wise
Speaker 2: and event wise, and then also see an increase in numbers,
Speaker 2: not just the main event, but the whole series down
Speaker 2: there in Champions Club. So that's my first kind of
Speaker 2: storyline that you know, means a lot to me is
Speaker 2: hopefully we can always improve on our things. So yeah,
Speaker 2: that's another one for me. Do you want to should
Speaker 2: do it?
Speaker 1: I'll do. I'm looking at David Coleman and I want
Speaker 1: to see what sort of I'm gonna call it his
Speaker 1: sophomore season on the PGT. It came out last year
Speaker 1: absolutely blazon out of the gate at PGT kickoff and
Speaker 1: early in the season had a lot of success. Obviously
Speaker 1: that propelled him to then go on to qualify for
Speaker 1: the top forty of the leaderboard, qualify for that PGT
Speaker 1: Million dollars championship. What are we going to see from
Speaker 1: mister Coleman this time around? Is he now just going
Speaker 1: to be a mainstay? Is there gonna be a sophomore slump?
Speaker 1: I would lean that he's going to be a mainstay
Speaker 1: on the PGT. He's gonna have the success, he's gonna
Speaker 1: finish in the top forty, all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be something that I want to keep
Speaker 1: an eye on, largely because last year when we were
Speaker 1: predicting things, I picked him to be the breakout player
Speaker 1: for for the PGT. So I want to then see
Speaker 1: if that success carries through and how then and you know,
Speaker 1: how his season goes over wrong. So that's mine.
Speaker 2: Well, if he didn't didn't skip kickoff this upcoming week
Speaker 2: to go to Disneyland, I feel much more confident about
Speaker 2: your man. Come on, hey man, Disneyland. It's a very overrated.
Speaker 2: I've never been second storyline. It's hard to say if
Speaker 2: it's a storyline or it's but me personally or the
Speaker 2: PGT internally have three, four or five kind of new
Speaker 2: events we're working on, and I'm hoping that a we
Speaker 2: can obviously get the green light on them, get them
Speaker 2: out on the schedule for people to play, but also
Speaker 2: that the people are receptive of these events and show
Speaker 2: that we are trying new things and trying to put
Speaker 2: on events that hit our player but also potentially bring
Speaker 2: in new players. So I know that's kind of a
Speaker 2: soft storyline, but to me that that's kind of important
Speaker 2: is when we launch something new that you know, people like, yes,
Speaker 2: this is what we want, and we don't get that
Speaker 2: negative feedback.
Speaker 1: I got Alex Foxen comeback season last year on the PGT.
Speaker 2: I'm a surprise.
Speaker 1: He finished thirty eighth on the leader board, barely eclipsed
Speaker 1: a thousand points, had no wins, thirteen cashes. He didn't
Speaker 1: even achieve a million dollars in PGT earnings. Washing this
Speaker 1: is like, this is like unheard of for Alex Foxen
Speaker 1: on the PGT. So I'm expecting a big comeback season
Speaker 1: for Alex Foxen. And because I'm expecting that, of course
Speaker 1: I'm going to be keeping an eye on it and
Speaker 1: seeing if it happens, but I expect big things out
Speaker 1: of mister Fox in this time around twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: PGT season. So yeah, that's my second thing that I'm
Speaker 1: keeping an eye on.
Speaker 2: Final storyline. For me, we just finished pretty insane season
Speaker 2: ending with massive numbers of PGT Lost Chance and obviously
Speaker 2: a great winner at the PGT Championship. I want bigger
Speaker 2: and better, and I know we're getting bigger and better
Speaker 2: at the next PGT Lost Chance with the rule tweaks
Speaker 2: extra dream seats up for grabs of that series. It's
Speaker 2: going to be the biggest series we've ever run. Exclamation point,
Speaker 2: full stop on the line, on the line, put it in.
Speaker 1: Bold, Okay, I mean you're setting the bar high.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Steven Chidwick and I want to know
Speaker 1: if Stevie returns to form. He's always been a what
Speaker 1: top five guy on the PGT Top ten for sure,
Speaker 1: always like right there, right there, right there. He won
Speaker 1: PGT Player of the Year the one year you know
Speaker 1: he's got titles all that sort of stuff. Last year
Speaker 1: was a little bit of a down year. It took
Speaker 1: until the final series for him to squeak in to
Speaker 1: the to the qualification for the PGT Championship. He ended
Speaker 1: up doing so, yes, but kind of a similar year
Speaker 1: than than Alex Foxen.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: He had nine hundred and sixty nine points, one win,
Speaker 1: fourteen cash is one point one twenty six million in earning,
Speaker 1: so really not like the the Steven Childwick year that
Speaker 1: we're used to seeing on the PGT. So kind of
Speaker 1: like I'm looking at Alex Hoxsen, I'm also looking at
Speaker 1: Steven Shouldwick and now we're gonna see him return to form,
Speaker 1: so you're gonna be looking at him. I know I've
Speaker 1: picked fox In to do a lot of really good
Speaker 1: things on this upcoming PGT season, But we'll see if
Speaker 1: we can get Steven Chiuldwick. You know, one of those
Speaker 1: guys who's you know, pushing what twenty cash is like,
Speaker 1: he does every single year, top five of the leader board,
Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff. So let's see if that
Speaker 1: happens for Stevie. All right, general poker stuff. Pick one
Speaker 1: player to win a World Poker Tour title.
Speaker 2: Now this is the main Tour, right, I'm not talking Prime.
Speaker 1: Main, Yes, the real shit. Okay, we ain't. We ain't
Speaker 1: doing that fake stuff.
Speaker 2: So I got pick someone I gotta pick someone that
Speaker 2: wins one of the four events they run throughout the year.
Speaker 2: This is kind of tough. Uh yeah, I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: with someone you threw out earlier. I'm gonna go with
Speaker 2: Brock Wilson. He's probably gonna play all of them. I
Speaker 2: think he's pretty decent and then at that buying price
Speaker 2: point and you know what this four of them are. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's got a good chance to win one of those
Speaker 2: four events.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm going with the reigning WPT Player of
Speaker 1: the Year, Yunk You Song, who I think it's like
Speaker 1: hit kind of his time, you know. I think he's
Speaker 1: had a lot of really good stuff, had what was
Speaker 1: it Texas Polk ro Open. He'll keep on as well.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think he's primed to have big field
Speaker 1: MTT success, you know, coming off winning WPG Player of
Speaker 1: the Year. I think he's going to be motivated specifically
Speaker 1: towards the World Poker Tour, maybe a little bit more
Speaker 1: so than others. So I have Young You Song winning
Speaker 1: a WPG title in twenty twenty five. All right, give
Speaker 1: me one player to win an EPT title in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five.
Speaker 2: There's another not many of them that exists, so does
Speaker 2: make it tough. And I'm gonna Audible off your prediction
Speaker 2: of Alex fox and crushing the PGT. I'm gonna say,
Speaker 2: Alex Foxon is going to do all he's winning on
Speaker 2: non PGT events this year, like trying and that includes
Speaker 2: an APT title.
Speaker 1: Okay, I have Adrian Matteos or Steven should.
Speaker 2: I have him Tellos? So? And then I believe Audible.
Speaker 1: Us to our crushers, you know, I think they always play,
Speaker 1: They always try, at least try and play the EPT stuff.
Speaker 1: Name three players who will win a live WSP gold
Speaker 1: bracelet in the summer.
Speaker 2: Can you get fast on this one?
Speaker 1: Sure? I have Alex Foxon kind I mean, I think
Speaker 1: he's just have an incredible year all around. Sean Deep
Speaker 1: your boy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's one of.
Speaker 1: The of the best players in the WSP realm for sure.
Speaker 1: And then John Reardon, Yep, it's time to do it live, buddy,
Speaker 1: Let's go John Reardon. So those are my three.
Speaker 2: I did have date, but I don't want to pick
Speaker 2: him because I want to have some variety. But I'm
Speaker 2: gonna take the best poka play in the bud Dylan Weisman.
Speaker 2: He'll win another Palo bracelet. I'm gonna take Santhosh. I
Speaker 2: think he might repeat as a two hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: K champion, So put him as one of my bracelet winners,
Speaker 2: and then throwing Adrian Mitaos because if Samtush doesn't win it,
Speaker 2: it's going to be Mitayos.
Speaker 1: Predict one player to reach the twenty twenty five main
Speaker 1: Event final table. I mean this is this is needle
Speaker 1: in a haystack.
Speaker 2: Af staven Song.
Speaker 1: You know what. I almost picked him, to be honest,
Speaker 1: I almost picked Stevens Song, but I went with the name.
Speaker 1: You might not even know who this player is.
Speaker 2: Oh, here we go.
Speaker 1: But got to put him on Colin Robinson. So Colin
Speaker 1: Robinson is like low key, low key big field crusher
Speaker 1: At the WSP. Recently he won He won a twenty
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars no limit hold him twenty two and
Speaker 1: twenty nine entries. He got second in the fifteen hundred
Speaker 1: dollars Monster Stack one year eighty three hundred and seventeen
Speaker 1: entries there, third place in a fifteen hundred dollars no
Speaker 1: limit that had thirteen hundred and six entries. He got
Speaker 1: ninth place in Colossus one year fifty eight hundred and
Speaker 1: ninety four entries in that one. I mean, clearly Colin
Speaker 1: Robinson knows how to navigate these big field mind fests
Speaker 1: that that take place so often at the WSP. Right,
Speaker 1: so I got Colin Robinson as my player to reach
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five WSP Main Event final table. Which
Speaker 1: poker player is going to top the twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: money list?
Speaker 2: I mean we could just say everyone anyone would named
Speaker 2: on this podcast more than once. The tins of SHOT's
Speaker 2: gonna flex off all those names. I'm take my boy,
Speaker 2: brind Kenny.
Speaker 1: Okay, what's gonna have two scores for eight million each?
Speaker 2: You know what? Very possible. That's the craziest I know,
Speaker 2: That's what I mean.
Speaker 1: On trend Alex Foxen Alex Fox and Alex Fox and
Speaker 1: Alex Fox is for me, who's gonna be the highest
Speaker 1: earning female poker player in twenty twenty five?
Speaker 2: See the two answer people? I want to say, it
Speaker 2: feels like the most layup answers, And I don't know
Speaker 2: if I want to kind of flex off the completely.
Speaker 1: Do you want to say who Kristen Fox and.
Speaker 2: Jason Fox or Socio Jang from New Zealand? Because she
Speaker 2: plays all the trying events. That seems like too easy
Speaker 2: to pick, like that's too too chalky.
Speaker 1: Well I have Jang.
Speaker 2: Okay, so I'm not going to pick either of them,
Speaker 2: but they have the front run.
Speaker 1: It's also like, I'm with you on like those of
Speaker 1: the two, I feel like that are the favorites. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I also feel like if if there was like
Speaker 1: a this was a sports book, you had both those
Speaker 1: names on it, people would be like, who the hell
Speaker 1: is Soshia Jang? I mean the people who watch Triton, Yes,
Speaker 1: of course they know who she is, but I think
Speaker 1: common poker people don't really yet know who she is.
Speaker 1: So for those out there who don't know, don't be
Speaker 1: surprised to see Soshia Jang's name on the top of
Speaker 1: the all time money or of the money list for
Speaker 1: female poker players in twenty twenty five. Because she's good.
Speaker 1: She works with, you know, some of the really really
Speaker 1: good players. She plays all the super high by and
Speaker 1: stuff that takes place all around the world, ardly at Triton,
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, don't be surprised to see that
Speaker 1: name up on top.
Speaker 2: I was leaning towards Cherish Andrews, but her buying like
Speaker 2: average buying would just never be enough.
Speaker 1: Sure, but I mean, but she plays like enough twenty
Speaker 1: five keys.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but it's none about ones and like somehow.
Speaker 1: She doesn't the bigger field ones like she gets me in.
Speaker 2: I'm going to take someone like off the board. No
Speaker 2: odds on FanDuel. But she had two cash's at the
Speaker 2: tin Monte Carlo series, sia ono, So she's back. Well,
Speaker 2: I don't know if she's back, but the fact that.
Speaker 1: She can't out of the cash game streets.
Speaker 2: But if she's playing the Monte Carlo tournaments, okay, one
Speaker 2: was that tried and invitational, but still she played some
Speaker 2: events there. Does that mean maybe she's like, you know what,
Speaker 2: maybe I want to play some tournaments. Just takes one
Speaker 2: score to like, you know, flick that switch and get
Speaker 2: the bug. So that's going to be you know, obviously
Speaker 2: we've discussed the two favorites. I'm going to take her
Speaker 2: as the the roughie to get there.
Speaker 1: All right, just like we did when it comes to
Speaker 1: the PGT. Give me three things you're going to be
Speaker 1: watching for this year in poker in general.
Speaker 2: I think the first one is probably should be at
Speaker 2: the top of everyone's mind.
Speaker 1: List, it's probably mine.
Speaker 2: How will the WSP be with GG now publicly involved?
Speaker 2: So are we going to see anything different? Is it
Speaker 2: still going to be the same old show, the same setup,
Speaker 2: everything the same old We're going to see some remarkably
Speaker 2: different things like will the WSP plus app be live
Speaker 2: for the summer series in time? Will it get approved,
Speaker 2: et cetera. So just seeing how things start changing with
Speaker 2: GG now very publicly involved.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got the same one as my number one.
Speaker 1: Any changes to the w CP is what I wrote down,
Speaker 1: you know, is it is it going to be one
Speaker 1: of those things where it's just very status quo for
Speaker 1: one year and then you really see it come in
Speaker 1: for the twenty twenty sixth WSP. Are we going to
Speaker 1: certainly start seeing things take effect this summer? You know,
Speaker 1: maybe things that people have taken from WSP Paradise. You
Speaker 1: know you mentioned the WSP plus app stuff like that.
Speaker 1: You know, when is that stuff gonna happen? Is it
Speaker 1: going to start happening this year for the summer? So
Speaker 1: let's let's see what happens there. What's your next one?
Speaker 2: I mean, the rumor mal is swirling about what's happening
Speaker 2: in December and January of twenty twenty five slash twenty
Speaker 2: twenty six. So I'm kind of eagerly waiting to see
Speaker 2: what kind.
Speaker 1: Of to do, huh said, I love a good rumor.
Speaker 2: Ealy awaiting what happens with the WBT World Championship. Will
Speaker 2: it still be in December? Will it still be at
Speaker 2: the win? Will they bring back a guarantee WSP Paradise?
Speaker 1: So, yes, it's going to be in December. Yes, it's
Speaker 1: going to be at the win.
Speaker 2: I mean what I mean, I do not never know,
Speaker 2: you never know.
Speaker 1: Guarantee who knows?
Speaker 2: But the other stuff, Yes, WSP Paradise. Will it be
Speaker 2: in December? You know they've changed it every year so
Speaker 2: far in dramatic format of the schedule. So is there
Speaker 2: another massive change? Are they going to kind of audible
Speaker 2: off their twenty five million, twenty five k buying fifty
Speaker 2: million guarantee? Are they going to move it to January?
Speaker 2: What else is happening in January? We've heard some stuff
Speaker 2: about Pocus Stars, et cetera. So that kind of winter
Speaker 2: festival time which has been you know the last few years,
Speaker 2: have been growing. How is that going to change? Is
Speaker 2: going to be the same and how that's going to
Speaker 2: affect kind of what everyone else is doing in the industry.
Speaker 1: I do think it's interesting about basically paradise. You know,
Speaker 1: you mentioned that basically the drastic changes between the first
Speaker 1: year and the second year. I think you would want
Speaker 1: to go like drastic change versus subtle change, like like,
Speaker 1: for example, next year, like if they run back the
Speaker 1: twenty five k but they have like only a thirty
Speaker 1: million dollar guarantee on it, right, I mean like something
Speaker 1: like that. No, Like just I'm just kind of thinking
Speaker 1: in my head, like would it be kind of very
Speaker 1: unique to just do something completely different every single year
Speaker 1: for this you know what? Like yeah, next year, it's
Speaker 1: like we're gonna do a freaking fifteen hundred dollars one
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar guarantee, like so you know, like just
Speaker 1: thinking like you're just like going all over the place
Speaker 1: every year, just like completely switching it up from one,
Speaker 1: like one spectrum to the other. Like that'd just be great.
Speaker 1: So I got to regulated online poker progress and you
Speaker 1: mentioned the rumor for December. I keep hearing betem jam
Speaker 1: is coming to Nevada, So can it freaking happen already?
Speaker 1: Like I heard last year? It's gonna happen last year.
Speaker 1: I heard this year, it's gonna happen this year. Like
Speaker 1: I've heard, you know, it could be Q one. I
Speaker 1: heard it could be by the end of the year.
Speaker 1: Like can it just happen?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: It just be good for those of us here in
Speaker 1: Nevada to just you know, have an extra competitor in
Speaker 1: the state, extra option to play all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm just looking for, you know, kind of
Speaker 1: two things. One regulated online poker progress or do we
Speaker 1: get another state on board? Does Pennsylvania join actually get involved?
Speaker 1: I know they've like you know, said that they're going
Speaker 1: to be getting involved in terms of the interstate liquidity,
Speaker 1: Like does that actually happen? And then, you know, do
Speaker 1: we get someone else here in Nevada? And I'm looking
Speaker 1: most specifically at bet MGM. So here go for your third.
Speaker 2: My third is also related to competition and also related
Speaker 2: to ben MGM in a way. But are we finally
Speaker 2: going to see this this bet MGM poker too. We've
Speaker 2: heard about are we finally going to see more napt
Speaker 2: stops around North America? It's it's been talked about in
Speaker 2: the last couple of years obviously, and nothing's happened with
Speaker 2: either tour, But is this the year where we start
Speaker 2: hearing more concrete things, you know dates, even if it's
Speaker 2: for twenty twenty six, you know we're going to hear
Speaker 2: about NAPT going to Ontario or going to Pennsylvania. Ben
Speaker 2: MGM obviously has two main properties, Aria and Bogada out
Speaker 2: on the West coast. You know, let's is there something
Speaker 2: they can do liquidity wise, shared liquidity run opening events
Speaker 2: in both places. They all come for the Aria well,
Speaker 2: you know, the bet MGM Poker Championships kind of thing,
Speaker 2: So kind of seeing how that kind of plays out
Speaker 2: both NABT and bet MGM.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at sweepstakes, the sweepstakes poker sites. You know,
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of attention turned their way in
Speaker 1: recent months. You know, are these legal? Are these in
Speaker 1: a gray area? Are they illegal? You know, everyone's kind
Speaker 1: of got their arguments for the different things. Got I
Speaker 1: think Global Poker pulled out of Michigan. You have Global
Speaker 1: Poker recently announcing that they were going to be pulling
Speaker 1: out or they are in the process right now pulling
Speaker 1: out of Nevada. So you know what happens with sweepstakes,
Speaker 1: and then you also have a new player in the
Speaker 1: mix club WPT goal like they had the big free Role.
Speaker 1: We haven't really heard much from them since the free roll, right,
Speaker 1: they just they just not no, I'm saying, we haven't
Speaker 1: heard much until like the last couple of days when
Speaker 1: they basically said, like, you know, the platform's coming, and
Speaker 1: I think I saw Rampage saying like he's having a
Speaker 1: meetup game whatever. Now I'm personally not surprised that there's
Speaker 1: silent after the Free role, because you know, I played
Speaker 1: on the platform during the free roll stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: trying to get one of those Golden passports, and it
Speaker 1: definitely seemed like a very basic MVP just to get
Speaker 1: it out there, and I just assumed that they would
Speaker 1: get something out there, allow players to play those free
Speaker 1: roll tournaments, and then kind of go very quiet afterwards
Speaker 1: as you fix everything, you get the full platform ready
Speaker 1: to launch in whatever timeframe that is, and then you
Speaker 1: come out with it later. So I'm not surprised personally
Speaker 1: on the silence on that front. That said, you're now
Speaker 1: coming out in in a space where there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people are looking at sweepstakes, poker and They're like,
Speaker 1: is this allowed? Should this be allowed? Should states be
Speaker 1: coming after them? Should the federal government be looking at them?
Speaker 1: Like this whole thing. So there's that aspect of things.
Speaker 1: And then also specifically, as it pertains the Club WPT Gold,
Speaker 1: you had this massive free roll, this massive marketing promotion
Speaker 1: to launch this new platform. What's it going to be
Speaker 1: like at the end of the day, And it's it
Speaker 1: going to be successful? Meaning did the massive five million
Speaker 1: dollars free roll and all of that user acquisition work
Speaker 1: in terms of making it a viable platform to play on?
Speaker 1: So I'm just saying this is something I'm going to
Speaker 1: be watching in poker, like I think. I think that,
Speaker 1: you know, towards the end of twenty twenty four, there
Speaker 1: was certainly a lot of sweep steaks casino and sweepstakes
Speaker 1: poker in the gambling industry news headlines. So let's see
Speaker 1: then what happens here in twenty five. So I think
Speaker 1: that that's going to be an interesting thing to just
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, keep an eye on it.
Speaker 2: Sounds like, yeah, Club WBD Gold launching basically meetup games
Speaker 2: over the next eleven days, starting on Monday. Get to
Speaker 2: play with Phil Ivy I'm in, does it really feel
Speaker 2: it's definitely phil Ivy, brad Owen, Rampage, Wolfgang Zuanlu. Guessing
Speaker 2: some other WPT people will get in and it's called
Speaker 2: you know, Project Gold Phase one meetup games, so maybe
Speaker 2: they're you know, Phase one is still acknowledging that it's
Speaker 2: you know, we're still in mode beta mode games.
Speaker 1: I just want to play tournaments.
Speaker 2: So yeah, but this is I think a good way
Speaker 2: to see. You know, we all go on tomorrow, we
Speaker 2: play and see is the software the same or is
Speaker 2: it dramatically different? You know, they've had what a month
Speaker 2: since they ran all those promo free roles pretty much,
Speaker 2: you know, hopefully they took some constructive criticism from people
Speaker 2: and made changes where it was needed. And I guess
Speaker 2: we'll line at the next week or so.
Speaker 1: I will say that the software will be a massive
Speaker 1: upgrade if they don't have that damn shaking when it's
Speaker 1: like timing down on a player. That shit made me
Speaker 1: think I was having a seizure. I mean, it was unreal. Okay,
Speaker 1: so get rid of that and it will be good to
Speaker 1: go SPA.
Speaker 2: Speaking of online poker, and this is obviously a little
Speaker 2: bit of a pad on my back because I made
Speaker 2: a final table last side. But you know when you
Speaker 2: make a final table on WSP and there's two ends
Speaker 2: and then the table goes dark and the two hands
Speaker 2: light up? Do you a like that and be think
Speaker 2: that should be on every table?
Speaker 1: Well, definitely should not be on every table. That's absolutely insane.
Speaker 1: I don't mind it. At the final tables, I will
Speaker 1: say that you should. There should probably just be an
Speaker 1: option that you can turn it off. Okay, I can
Speaker 1: that be an option because you can like turn off sounds,
Speaker 1: you can turn off certain animations like whatever. I like that.
Speaker 1: When you get heads up, the money on the table
Speaker 1: is not usd it's not US dollars. It looks like euros,
Speaker 1: It looks looks like it could be Australian dollars. I
Speaker 1: have no idea what it is. It's not American dollars.
Speaker 1: That is, for damn sure, which I think is wildly hilarious.
Speaker 1: Because wsip dot com is a US facing online poker site.
Speaker 2: Where is the software I made?
Speaker 1: Well, I just think that that's funny. But it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter where the software is made, Like, you can't change
Speaker 1: that for this, you.
Speaker 2: Sure you can I'm just saying that that the software
Speaker 2: is European based, so they probably that was there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but that's also like the stuck image to put in
Speaker 2: and that no one cared to change it.
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's wildly silly. Okay, it's also funny to me.
Speaker 1: This is this is like kind of along the same lines.
Speaker 1: But if you go play the blast sitting goes the
Speaker 1: background stuff says it says eight eight eight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it says eight eight to eight.
Speaker 1: Poker, because a poker obviously supplies the passion.
Speaker 2: Thought that was on all the tables. It's certainly on the.
Speaker 1: Bloss unless it's like not on the regular tables because
Speaker 1: I have a different background or something. I don't know.
Speaker 1: But the money thing is hilarious to me.
Speaker 2: I find you mentioned that in our group chat last night,
Speaker 2: and that's when I was at the found table. But
Speaker 2: I didn't want to like google it. I thought I
Speaker 2: jinxed myself in bust, I mean I busted anyway.
Speaker 1: High Stakes Poker kicked off season fourteen last week Monday.
Speaker 1: There will be new episodes just about every Monday for
Speaker 1: the next I don't even know a handful of weeks.
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly album the season in but I
Speaker 1: will say that's a pretty good start to the season overall.
Speaker 1: This one kicked off with Andrew Robel, Jared Blesnick, Seth Gottlieb,
Speaker 1: Brandon Stephen, Justin Gavory, Mark Kulick, and Marcus Gonzalvez. You
Speaker 1: had Blessnick, Gottlieb, Kulick, and Gonzalz were all making their
Speaker 1: high Stakes Poker debuts, and then all the other players
Speaker 1: have been on High Stakes Poker in the past, So
Speaker 1: good blend of old and new. Like I said, I
Speaker 1: thought it was a good start to the season. I
Speaker 1: was entertained by the episode. There were some big pots.
Speaker 1: I think having Jared Blesnick on there is just a
Speaker 1: plus content. I mean, the guy's just an absolute character.
Speaker 1: He's not scared to shy away from playing big pots,
Speaker 1: getting involved. He certainly has a lot of personality. He's
Speaker 1: a talker, all that sort of stuff. So I also
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, Robull is sort of the king
Speaker 1: of cash games right now, and until someone tells me
Speaker 1: differently for a really good reason, he should almost always
Speaker 1: have a seat on I six Poker. He's just the guy.
Speaker 1: So yeah, those are kind of my initial thoughts, and
Speaker 1: I thought it was a good start to the season
Speaker 1: in the sense that I'm certainly looking forward to watching
Speaker 1: the rest of the season, you know, starting with Monday's
Speaker 1: episode coming up. So yeah, any thoughts from you initially.
Speaker 2: No, you're right. It was a great way to kind
Speaker 2: of kick off the season with some pretty insane hands. Obviously,
Speaker 2: that last one from Blesnik was pretty crazy. It was
Speaker 2: good to see some new faces, you know. I feel
Speaker 2: like we often get some plays, like very repetitive plays
Speaker 2: in some of these cash games, but in fact, we
Speaker 2: open this one up with, you know, several new faces
Speaker 2: along with you know, the trustee Audit robl who's not
Speaker 2: afraid to put a chip in the pot, same with
Speaker 2: Brandon Steven was pretty cool. And from the PGT side
Speaker 2: of things, seeing Seth Gottlieb on there is is very
Speaker 2: interesting to me. I've only seen him play like one
Speaker 2: event in my life in person. Sorry not, I'm not
Speaker 2: counting any of this try and stuff, but so it's
Speaker 2: interesting just to see how he kind of operates and
Speaker 2: battles with these other high stakes crushes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Gottlieb was also a player who was I was
Speaker 1: drawn a little bit more towards just in terms of
Speaker 1: getting to see their debut. I mean, we obviously know
Speaker 1: a lot about Blessnick over the years. It was still
Speaker 1: cool to see his debut. But you know, other than him,
Speaker 1: you know, between Gottleeb, Gonzolves, and Kulick, you know, I
Speaker 1: thought Gottlieb stood out to me just probably because of
Speaker 1: like his his background on who he is in the
Speaker 1: poker world. Just he's a very big backer of a
Speaker 1: lot of players. So you know, what, what is he
Speaker 1: going to bring to the game. Is he going to
Speaker 1: be a big gambler? Is he going to be kind
Speaker 1: of tight like? What is he going to have a personality?
Speaker 1: I know he's good friends with Blesnick, so there's that dynamic.
Speaker 1: So you know, I was certainly looking forward to seeing
Speaker 1: how he played. And he got involved in at least
Speaker 1: one big pot, so maybe that's a sign of things
Speaker 1: to come. But you know, he was the one that
Speaker 1: I was kind of drawn the most towards, and think
Speaker 1: Gonzalz is you know, he's just Marcus is just a
Speaker 1: pro like you know, he's just a pros pro like
Speaker 1: he'll obviously do what needs to be done to play
Speaker 1: in these games and get invited back, of course, but
Speaker 1: very solid pro have known him for a while, So yeah,
Speaker 1: I do have one question that just came to me
Speaker 1: on Andrew Robo specifically Poker Hall of Famer. Well, he
Speaker 1: definitely doesn't have like the tournament accolades, but wouldn't you
Speaker 1: think of him? Now, I'm going to use his name
Speaker 1: and that people listen, don't jump down my throat, But
Speaker 1: I'm going to just use the name as kind of
Speaker 1: a comparison David Oppenheim. Like David Openheim wasn't known for tournaments, right,
Speaker 1: And all I'm saying is that, obviously Andrew Rouble is
Speaker 1: not known for tournaments. He's known for me in a
Speaker 1: high stakes cash game crusher. So is there a world
Speaker 1: where he's a Poker Hall of Fame or is that
Speaker 1: just never cross anyone's.
Speaker 2: Mind under the current format? No, he is thirty eight
Speaker 2: years old. Of all the people that are not in
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame and have qualified via age, there
Speaker 2: is a total of sixty five people ahead of him
Speaker 2: age wise that I'm more likely to get in than him.
Speaker 1: Did you make that up?
Speaker 2: I can run you down the list with their birth
Speaker 2: dates if you want. There's some people on there that
Speaker 2: you could Probably you can definitely argue that Andrew robeles
Speaker 2: ahead up. But I'm going to name some names coming
Speaker 2: up in his you know nominee ye, okay, ready, good luck,
Speaker 2: good luck Andrew Robe is what I'm going to start with.
Speaker 2: Nick Parchangelo, we probably not, Chrissy Foxon definitely, Darren Elias interesting,
Speaker 2: Jason Mercier, Bryn Kenny, Tom Dwan leave his name off,
Speaker 2: Chance Corneth maybe, Sean Deep, John Reisner, Justin Bonoma, Isaac Hackson,
Speaker 2: Jason Kuhn, Chris Mormon, Joey Ingram, Scott Severa, Ben Lamb.
Speaker 2: None of those guys are forty yet, but they are
Speaker 2: at least thirty eight. I can keep going if you want.
Speaker 2: But every name I just named there probably would get
Speaker 2: in before Robo. I mean, maybe not Joey Ingram, but
Speaker 2: still I don't agree their resumes are strong enough to
Speaker 2: get them in. Now. The Hall of Fame is a
Speaker 2: I don't want to get too deep in not but
Speaker 2: whatever it's. People are having to cast their own votes,
Speaker 2: so if you were preferred by others, you've got more
Speaker 2: chance of getting in. Now that's just the thirty eight
Speaker 2: to forty year olds. If you want me to go
Speaker 2: through the forty year old. It's a not we're talking Schulman,
Speaker 2: A Lahi, Vanessa selps Ari, Angel mariaj. Nacho, Barbero, Grinder,
Speaker 2: osmas Es Fondiari, Jack Effel, josh Ai Goss Hanson, Like,
Speaker 2: there's still some formidable poker players that have like qualified
Speaker 2: by age that I haven't even made a nomination ballot yet.
Speaker 2: So unless they change the rules, I think it's nearly
Speaker 2: impossible for Andrew ro Would to be in the Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, just ask him the question, that's all.
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 1: Again, he just seems to be the king of high
Speaker 1: stakes cash games. Yeah, and I think he's probably somebody
Speaker 1: who often gets overlooked, you know, kind of in a
Speaker 1: similar sense, not to the degree, but in a similar
Speaker 1: sense that Patrick Antonio's often got overlooked just because Patrick
Speaker 1: never had obviously the tournament resume, right, you know, I
Speaker 1: think Patrick is very deserving of the Hall of Fame,
Speaker 1: and more so than than Robul overall. But you know,
Speaker 1: if Robel continues to just dominate high stakes cash games
Speaker 1: for the next what ten to fifteen years, you know what,
Speaker 1: it's kind of my question, like, what's that case look
Speaker 1: like then?
Speaker 2: And By the way, yes, I do have a Poker
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame duck with names and ages in it.
Speaker 1: Of course I would expect this is a.
Speaker 2: Column if they've been nominated before.
Speaker 1: I mean, just incredible stuff. All right, last topic and
Speaker 1: then we'll get out of here. So Borgata recently had
Speaker 1: their Winter Poker Open, and for those that may have
Speaker 1: been paying attention, they had the main event and it
Speaker 1: finished with co champions. So I'm just going to read
Speaker 1: from the recab article posted on poker dot org. Is
Speaker 1: I just think that these two things are just kind
Speaker 1: of stick out to me. This is the first and
Speaker 1: this is in no way like a slight it at poker,
Speaker 1: there's obviously reporting the news and doing their job. But
Speaker 1: the first sentence of this recap article, after over two
Speaker 1: weeks of action, thirty trophy events and millions in prize money,
Speaker 1: awarded the marquee event of the Borgata Winter Poke Rope
Speaker 1: and has crowned not one, but two champions. So that
Speaker 1: right there, this is the marquee event of your series
Speaker 1: and you crowned two champions. Very weird to me. If
Speaker 1: you ask me like, I just don't, I don't understand.
Speaker 2: I hate it, absolutely hate it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I want to you're the committee.
Speaker 2: Okay, just I'm I'm i am team chopped. It's you all.
Speaker 2: It's the player's money. If they want to chop it up,
Speaker 2: I don't mind, but you can add some caveats to it,
Speaker 2: you know. And first of all, no, no, no co champions.
Speaker 2: Here's the problem. This event has two trophies, has it
Speaker 2: both a betam gam and a Bulgata trophy. So it's
Speaker 2: like it kind of incentimizes them to chop and take
Speaker 2: a trophy each because I bet you they each took
Speaker 2: a trophy hunt. So no, none of this. Now, if
Speaker 2: they do a chop and they want to flip for it,
Speaker 2: the winner has to get more money.
Speaker 1: Okay, but let me just jump in here quickly because
Speaker 1: also in this recap article, the section about heads up
Speaker 1: play says they started in whatever they and they like,
Speaker 1: somebody doubled the kind of got even. They played for
Speaker 1: two hours before they eventually agreed to a chop, And
Speaker 1: then it says, so they agreed to the chop. So
Speaker 1: the winners were Joseph Nieman got four hundred and almost
Speaker 1: four hundred and seven thousand, win League got four hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty five thousand, So they agreeted that chop then
Speaker 1: it says, I'm reading directly from the article. They then
Speaker 1: ran a few blind hands to see who was signing
Speaker 1: for first, but they both took home a trophy and
Speaker 1: both even took some winner photos to crown the occasion. Well,
Speaker 1: if they ran blind hands for somebody to sign for first,
Speaker 1: that person in first place is the champion. End of story. Yes,
Speaker 1: why are we promoting co champions? What are we doing here? People?
Speaker 1: This is like, this is like if the PGT million
Speaker 1: dollar Championship that just happened, they get to heads up play.
Speaker 1: Jeremy Osmus and Nick Shulman come over, hey, Tim, we
Speaker 1: want to be co champs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would tell them the funk off exactly.
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, let me come on. What are we
Speaker 1: doing here? Seriously?
Speaker 2: Co champs? It's it's just not it's not poker.
Speaker 1: This is why listen. I'm I'm with you on the whole,
Speaker 1: the whole. Like it's the player's money thing. They can
Speaker 1: do whatever they want. I totally get it, but I
Speaker 1: do just kind of wish that people would it would
Speaker 1: just be accepted that, like, listen and you have to
Speaker 1: leave five percent of the prize pool to play for
Speaker 1: at a at a minimum, like and the trophy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like that's not even that a lot of money at
Speaker 1: the end of the day. And if you want to
Speaker 1: do some under the table dealings with that, go do
Speaker 1: your thing whatever. But like, I mean, come on, I'm
Speaker 1: also listening. I'm also against like the whole don't allow chops.
Speaker 1: I think that's also ridiculous, by the way, So I'm
Speaker 1: just I just but I feel like there should be
Speaker 1: a winner, and I feel like when you're the operator here.
Speaker 1: And this is why I want to bring this up
Speaker 1: to you specifically, and why I use that example from
Speaker 1: the PDT Championship is that as like the operator, and
Speaker 1: going back to this first sentence, like this is the
Speaker 1: marquee event of your series, your big series. You should
Speaker 1: want a champion, somebody you can crown, somebody that you
Speaker 1: can promote, somebody you can slap up their winner photo.
Speaker 1: Like you know, imagine you walk into the the horseshoe
Speaker 1: and instead of just Chris Moneymaker, it's Chris Moneymaker and
Speaker 1: Sammy Faja shaking hands behind the money because they were
Speaker 1: co champions in two thousand and three. No, this is
Speaker 1: not how this works.
Speaker 2: Okay, No, it's not No, it's I hate everything about it.
Speaker 1: CO Champions, just say, listen, guys, you can do whatever
Speaker 1: you want with the money, okay, but somebody's gotta sign
Speaker 1: for first, and that person is getting the trophy. They're
Speaker 1: going down as the winner of the event. Okay, the champion.
Speaker 1: They're gonna get their name in the headlines, their photo
Speaker 1: on the wall, they're gonna get out there in the
Speaker 1: press release, all this sort of stuff. What are we doing,
Speaker 1: CO Champions? What are we gonna see three, four, five champions?
Speaker 1: I mean I also see eighteen player chops like on
Speaker 1: the regular of these days.
Speaker 2: I mean, what, what's actually funny is that you bring
Speaker 2: up a three play a chop. I'm trying to find it.
Speaker 2: But the last time I was at Bolgada, there was
Speaker 2: basically a three player chop for the main event and
Speaker 2: it was on stream and they.
Speaker 1: Did like you're fine, who cares what?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was it was the way it was done.
Speaker 2: It was not good. But going back to this point,
Speaker 2: Borgarda should be like, you know what, you guys want
Speaker 2: to chop the money, that's fine. You guys want to
Speaker 2: take it a trophy home that's fine, but you guys
Speaker 2: got to play this out and we're crowning one champion,
Speaker 2: and the one champion is going to take photos with
Speaker 2: the trophies and that's what we're going to promote. Now.
Speaker 2: If the other guy, if you guys make a deal
Speaker 2: and one of you is getting one trophy and he
Speaker 2: wants to take some photos, cool, pull out your iPhone,
Speaker 2: but we ain't taking it because like that's even happened
Speaker 2: in our studio, Like so no, we're not. We're not
Speaker 2: going to do it that way. From the Borgarda's point
Speaker 2: of view, We're going to do it official. We're going
Speaker 2: to have a winner. We're going to promote this winner
Speaker 2: at the next series. He will be our champion regardless
Speaker 2: of how much money you chop for. But Borgarda should
Speaker 2: also just be like, guys, you need to make you
Speaker 2: got to do this properly. First has to get more money,
Speaker 2: you know, simple as that, Like you can. It's fine
Speaker 2: if the first guy wins thirty k more and wants
Speaker 2: to pay thirty k to the other guy because they
Speaker 2: made some deal off the table, that's fine, but the
Speaker 2: head line has to have the whoever wins wins the
Speaker 2: most money, because otherwise it just looks bad. And you
Speaker 2: know what, it's happened on the PGT before and since then,
Speaker 2: it will not allow be allowed to happen again.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't care about I don't care about
Speaker 1: first not getting the most money. If there was some
Speaker 1: sort of deal that was made, I don't necessarily care
Speaker 1: about that. I just I just take more of an
Speaker 1: issue with crowning co champions. I mean, it just seems
Speaker 1: silly to be honest.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's say you and me got heads up and
Speaker 2: we were crown card champions. Never it would never happen.
Speaker 1: Were first of all, we're never getting heads up.
Speaker 2: Second, you supposed say you're not good enough to get
Speaker 2: that date. That's what you should have said. Which trophy?
Speaker 2: Do you want to take time.
Speaker 1: Publicly tell you what my pipe dream is when I
Speaker 1: when I get heads up with a friend in a
Speaker 1: poker tournament.
Speaker 2: You a good friend to pretend you're playing for it all,
Speaker 2: but you're no.
Speaker 1: We both just leave.
Speaker 2: You've said this before. This is the worst.
Speaker 1: This is what I don't think I've ever said it publicly.
Speaker 1: Like if you and I were like, let's just go
Speaker 1: to dinner and just don't tell anyone what are they
Speaker 1: going to do? What are they going to do? Blind
Speaker 1: us off? Okay, go ahead, Like I wanted.
Speaker 2: To ask you which trophy do you want? Do you
Speaker 2: want the one that looks like the Bogata or do
Speaker 2: you want the big Lion?
Speaker 1: The Borgata won by a million miles Borga. The Borgata trophy,
Speaker 1: the the replica of their hotel tower is one of
Speaker 1: the first trophies in poker that I saw and really wanted.
Speaker 1: It's not as high up there on the list as
Speaker 1: the wind trophies, which are similar, they're you know, replica
Speaker 1: of the tower. But I want to win trophy more
Speaker 1: than anything. I've always wanted one of these Borgada trophies.
Speaker 1: I do not like this bed MGM trophy, Like I
Speaker 1: think it should have just been like an actual like
Speaker 1: a lion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's kind of too much like a Venetian then, right.
Speaker 1: Which which I always thought was weird because the lion
Speaker 1: is MGM, because the lion's always.
Speaker 2: Been MGM, isn't the lion in the Venetian logo?
Speaker 1: I know, well yeah, but I've never associated it.
Speaker 2: It's actually you know what it's on a line. It's
Speaker 2: like a yeah, I don't know what it is. It's
Speaker 2: not a line, but it looks like a line. It's
Speaker 2: a line with wings whatever it is.
Speaker 1: But like, you know, I think of what is it
Speaker 1: the something in California they have the California Poker Open or.
Speaker 2: You mean the bear or the bear.
Speaker 1: The guy on the horse is bad, the Remington Horse.
Speaker 1: That's for the Ali Poker Classic. Okay. I was also
Speaker 1: going to say that. But then they also have the
Speaker 1: the California State Championships or whatever it is, but they
Speaker 1: have the bears. Those are cool too, like you know,
Speaker 1: like that's why this should just be a you know
Speaker 1: this this like it's like, okay, give me a square
Speaker 1: and you know, put a plaque on it. Not that cool.
Speaker 1: Give me the actual lion, you know, like that'd be badass.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's other things you could do, like you
Speaker 1: know Aria uh, which is MGM, you know for the
Speaker 1: Ario Poke rope. And I really like their trophies. I
Speaker 1: thought they were awesome. Yep, you know, so I I
Speaker 1: do think and listen, I think we need to get creative,
Speaker 1: more creative with some of our trophies. Some of them
Speaker 1: are very cool. Some of them have gotten pretty stale
Speaker 1: to be honest.
Speaker 2: I think we're trying to work on a Pokemonsa's trophy.
Speaker 2: That's the that's the one we're trying to work on
Speaker 2: right now. Like I basically pitch them, we need a bronze.
Speaker 1: It should be like a little bust, but not a
Speaker 1: bust of just the upper body of somebody wearing back
Speaker 1: and out. Yeah, yeah, like that's what should be. But yeah,
Speaker 1: but the Burgata trophies I've always really, really really liked.
Speaker 1: I've only played a couple. I think I've only played
Speaker 1: maybe two tournaments lifetime of Borgatta played zero.
Speaker 2: It's a It's how far That's pretty far? That was
Speaker 2: pretty far away from you from that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like a four and a half hour
Speaker 1: drive from where I was in New Hampshire.
Speaker 2: What's What's the.
Speaker 1: Fox was? The Mohigan Sun were like an hour and
Speaker 1: forty five? I remember, well, now it's some Encore on
Speaker 1: Core Boston. I once drove down to Borgada for this
Speaker 1: big weekend like multi flights whatever the heck, six hundred
Speaker 1: five and all. I can't even remember what it was. Played,
Speaker 1: ended up like getting I think somebody shoved the small blind.
Speaker 1: I was in the big line with as King I
Speaker 1: called they had some shitty hand like jack three or
Speaker 1: something ridiculous, and like they won, and I was just
Speaker 1: I remember, I was like so dejected. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm not even staying overnight. I'm just I'm driving home.
Speaker 1: The hell with it, Like I'm just so like, I
Speaker 1: was so upset, so upset. But anyway, Yeah, I've always
Speaker 1: wanted one of those borgout trophies. So maybe maybe one
Speaker 1: day I'll get back. All right, cool? Anything else, uh
Speaker 1: that we got to talk about?
Speaker 2: Yes we did. We were on the topic of trophies.
Speaker 1: Lord yelling at me people out.
