1
00:00:10,759 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the

2
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,280
Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donnie Peters. His name

3
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:22,559
is Tim Duckworth. It is Sunday, January eleventh. It looks

4
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,160
like the Jaguars are about to kick an extra point?

5
00:00:26,559 --> 00:00:26,879
Is this?

6
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:27,399
Speaker 2: Yeah?

7
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,399
Speaker 1: Extra point to go up? Seventeen thirteen is the middle

8
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:34,280
of wild card weekend, but.

9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 2: More important to be twenty than thirteen.

10
00:00:36,799 --> 00:00:39,119
Speaker 1: Why is that, mister idiot miss?

11
00:00:39,679 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: Well, you know kickers af I mean, that's just how

13
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:42,359
it is.

14
00:00:42,439 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 2: Best kicker in the league.

15
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: No, there's no shot, he's the best kicker in the league.

16
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: Biggest kick. How about biggest kicker in the league?

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,359
Speaker 1: No, no, Brandon Aubrey's the biggest.

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,759
Speaker 2: Didn't he didn't He set the record for an out

19
00:00:56,799 --> 00:00:58,240
those stadium last week.

20
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,799
Speaker 1: That I don't if you were to line them up

21
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,679
side by side and have them do some sort of

22
00:01:03,799 --> 00:01:06,920
kickoff Brandon Aubrey all day, Like what do you want

23
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,560
to bet all day?

24
00:01:08,599 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 2: And every how many field goals he missed in the

25
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,359
last like four weeks of the season.

26
00:01:12,719 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, because whatever, it doesn't matter. It's twelve twenty two

27
00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:19,879
pm on this fine Sunday. We're going to be talking

28
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,319
all things end of the season PGT Last Chance PGT Championship.

29
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,879
The PGT Championship kicks off on Monday, January twelfth, a

30
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,120
two day event. Fifty four players, I believe is what

31
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,920
it is. It's forty players from the top forty of

32
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,799
the season long leaderboard, as we've been talking about for

33
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,599
an entire year. It is also fourteen Dream seats winners,

34
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,319
five of which won their dream seats at the death,

35
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,159
as some might say during the PGT Last Chance series.

36
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:54,239
So we're going to get into all of that sort

37
00:01:54,239 --> 00:01:56,359
of stuff. I'm guessing Tim and I should do some

38
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,120
sort of fantasy draft or whatever. He's probably kicking my ass.

39
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:02,920
I haven't even checked on anything I am. So you know,

40
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,920
it is what it is. What can you you got?

41
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,799
You gotta let the fish win sometimes so they keep

42
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,800
on coming back. That's just how it is. As always,

52
00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:39,439
want to remind you guys once again, that High Stakes

53
00:02:39,439 --> 00:02:43,960
Poker is back. It is season fifteen. It is wild,

54
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,719
it is crazy. It has global superstar comedian Kevin Hart

55
00:02:48,759 --> 00:02:52,439
front and center. You got Andrew Roebl, Jennifer Tilley, Sam

56
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,840
Keke Stanley, tang Nick Airball, and so many more. Justin

57
00:02:56,879 --> 00:02:59,520
Gavrie is back. I don't know if Justin Gavory is

58
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,759
winning ever on High sixs Poker. I mean that guy.

59
00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:04,400
I feel bad when I watch him like it is.

60
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,479
It's like watching someone get tortured in real time. It's unbelievable.

61
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,120
Season fifteen is called the Season of Blood. I like this,

62
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,960
By the way, I don't know if this was planned

63
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,000
or if it was just happened because Robo said it

64
00:03:19,319 --> 00:03:21,680
on one of the episodes and then Kevin Hart said it.

65
00:03:21,719 --> 00:03:24,680
But like naming the seasons, I think is like something

66
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,639
kind of cool. So season of Blood. So when you know,

67
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,719
when we do season sixteen, we're gonna have to see

68
00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:32,879
how it shakes out. Give it a name there, but yeah,

69
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,000
Season of Blood is available now exclusively on poker Go,

70
00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:42,759
seventeen action packed episodes, and I mean, I don't even

71
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,360
know if I'm supposed to say this, but I'm gonna

72
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,159
say it. So whatever. A couple of weeks, National Heads

73
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,120
Up Poker Championship is dropping on poker grol right a

74
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,000

75
00:03:54,039 --> 00:03:56,919

76
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,159
over here is gonna work on getting all those episodes

77
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,800

already done, but coming up in a couple weeks. That's happening.

79
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,280

annual plan. All right, let's get into this Last Chance,

90
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,879
the Last Chance series six tournaments. As we talked about

91
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,120
what a week ago, week and half ago something like that,

92
00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:48,800
six tournaments, all ten K buy ins. We had a

93
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,120
lot on the line. You had a Player of the

94
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:54,879
Year race that was still to be decided. You had

95
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,560
people trying to get into the top forty. You had

96
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,680
people in the top forty trying to move up some

97
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,680
spot in order to get some more chips for the

98
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,519
PGT Championship. You had people who were in the top

99
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,680
forty but at the bottom trying to make sure that

100
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,879
they stayed in the top forty by competing, maybe getting

101
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,680
a couple more points. Then, of course, you had the

102
00:05:13,959 --> 00:05:16,879
five dream seats that were up for grabs during the

103
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,920
series leaderboard. So even if you hadn't done a damn

104
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,439
thing all PGT season, shout out to you, Jeremy Becker,

105
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,680
then wow, has he done anything all PGT season?

106
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 2: Yea, he did a little bit of this, a little

107
00:05:30,079 --> 00:05:30,360
bit of that.

108
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: Okay, how about this, if you were and I don't

109
00:05:33,639 --> 00:05:37,079
even know if you could actually do this, but if

110
00:05:37,079 --> 00:05:43,360
you could put points per dollar, he's definitely he's got

111
00:05:43,399 --> 00:05:46,639
to be low because he had a ton of buyings

112
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:50,959
all season and it was pretty low. I would also

113
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,040
say Jeremy Osmas is probably high up there.

114
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,759
Speaker 2: I know who's I know who the leader probably is.

115
00:05:57,199 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: Who's the leader?

116
00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 2: Well, at least it's definitely Victoria Lushitz No, no, no, shot,

117
00:06:05,439 --> 00:06:06,920
what do you mean she has one hundred and fifty

118
00:06:06,959 --> 00:06:08,199
six points.

119
00:06:09,319 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, but but if you factor in, I think part

120
00:06:14,959 --> 00:06:17,360
of Jeremy is that, like he played all the big

121
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,839
buy and stuff. Wow, she skipped some bigger buy and stuff,

122
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,800
Like she might have skipped a couple of twenty five k's.

123
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: Even if she skipped the twenty five k's. I mean,

124
00:06:25,439 --> 00:06:27,920
Becca has four XRA points on.

125
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: Her Yeah, I mean it could it could be.

126
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 2: And three and a half x the winnings. Listen, there's

127
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,360
probably someone even lower than that.

128
00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: But like some years are good, some years are bad.

129
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,800
It's just that's just poker. That's the variance of it all.

130
00:06:42,879 --> 00:06:48,680
So once again, you know, during this during this series,

131
00:06:49,079 --> 00:06:54,079
you know, we got a lot of I don't know,

132
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,319
hype buzz, like at least within the room for sure,

133
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,920
just of these players like sweating trying to figure out

134
00:07:00,959 --> 00:07:04,439
what was happening where they had to finish. You know,

135
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,120
do I have to get here? Do I have to

136
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,120
get there? Like, well, what about this guy over here?

137
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,839
What's going on? And then in addition to that, not

138
00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:13,519
only the people in the Pokergro studio, but like you were,

139
00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:16,680
you know, messaging people left right and center all day

140
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,680
every day, telling them like because there was people that

141
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,680
were on the cusp of the top forty or maybe

142
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,079
they were you know, right below it and or sorry,

143
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,800
right at the bottom of it, and you know, there

144
00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:29,000
was a chance that they could fall out. Some did

145
00:07:29,079 --> 00:07:32,079
fall out, as we'll talk about, you know, but they

146
00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:33,759
were just going to basically sweat it and then hop

147
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:36,920
on a plane today if that were the case. So

148
00:07:37,839 --> 00:07:39,879
we got a lot to dive into. I think first

149
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:42,120
and foremost the thing that I want to touch on

150
00:07:42,279 --> 00:07:44,759
is the thing that took until the absolute last second

151
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,839
to be decided, and that's the Player of the Year yep,

152
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,720
which coming into PGT Last Chance, you had Sam Silverll

153
00:07:52,759 --> 00:07:56,399
as the leader on top of the season long leaderboard.

154
00:07:57,079 --> 00:08:00,879
So the winner for the season long leader board gets

155
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,399
a fifty thousand dollars bonus, they get the award, the trophy,

156
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,000
and then they also enter the PGT Championship with the

157
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,600
most starting chips. Starting hips in that event are based

158
00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:14,160
on your leaderboard finishing position. Alex Foxen was like right

159
00:08:14,199 --> 00:08:16,959
there within striking distance. He's like fifty or sixty or

160
00:08:16,959 --> 00:08:19,680
seventy points behind coming into the series. You know, so

161
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:21,920
like one deep run from Alex Foxen, like he could

162
00:08:21,959 --> 00:08:24,759
overtake sover Of course he needed to fade Soverll doing

163
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,000
anything as well. Chino Reeim was a long shot, but

164
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,920
but he could make it happen, right, He was like

165
00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:34,360
four fifty or five hundred points out. You know, a

166
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,919
couple of these events had three hundred points plus up top,

167
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:39,879
so you know, a win and then you know some

168
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,879
other stuff from from Chino and he could have Tooken,

169
00:08:42,519 --> 00:08:45,080
taken the Player of the Year title. Anyone else you

170
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,720
would have needed to win like four events, you know,

171
00:08:47,759 --> 00:08:49,720
like Shausamal would have needed to win four events. Not

172
00:08:49,759 --> 00:08:53,240
that that's necessarily out of the realm of possibility, but

173
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,879
you know, it would have been a very very very

174
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,120
small chance for that to happen. But you got Soverroll

175
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,360
getting in there, like he had a couple of cases

176
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,480
to kind of pad his lead. Alex Foxen looked like

177
00:09:06,639 --> 00:09:08,639
nothing was really going to happen for him. He was

178
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,120
I think we heard him say last night, at least

179
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,840
I heard him say last night that he put eighteen

180
00:09:12,879 --> 00:09:16,039
bullets in over the course of the entire series. So

181
00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:19,279
Alex Foxen was certainly blasting to try and get this

182
00:09:19,519 --> 00:09:21,960
Player of the Year title. You know, these three guys,

183
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,440
Fox and Sobroll and Ream, they were very much locked

184
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,120
in for the championships, like they didn't necessarily need to

185
00:09:28,159 --> 00:09:31,279
be there other than going for this POI title. I mean,

186
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,759
obviously if you like money too and you want to

187
00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:36,399
win money, but you know you necessarily didn't need to

188
00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:40,000
to go for this. Chino makes back to back to

189
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,639
back final tables like and then entering the final event

190
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,480
registration closes. All three of them are in right, so

191
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,639
Sover's basically playing defense. Foxen needs what we sorted out

192
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:57,879
as a fourth placer better independent of Soverroll getting any results,

193
00:09:57,879 --> 00:09:59,960
and then Chino needed to win, but also like China

194
00:10:00,159 --> 00:10:02,799
could win, but then fox and if Foxing finished third,

195
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,759
he could lock it up. So there was a lot

196
00:10:04,799 --> 00:10:08,600
of moving parts at play for this specific race. Soilver

197
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,360
goes out, So now we just have Foxen and Ring

198
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,159
both know what needs to happen. Foxen knows he needs

199
00:10:15,159 --> 00:10:18,960
to get fourth or if he gets third, for sure

200
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,200
he locks it up. Right, if he gets fourth and

201
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,720
then Chino wins the tournament, Chino could win POI. Chino

202
00:10:24,799 --> 00:10:27,559
knows he has to win. So all this is playing out.

203
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,639
They both did they both make the final table? Or

204
00:10:29,879 --> 00:10:31,399
where did Chino go out?

205
00:10:31,759 --> 00:10:35,879
Speaker 2: Chino bust just short of the Fhonne table right eight?

206
00:10:36,039 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: Was it eighth or was it ninth or eighth or

207
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:38,480
something like that?

208
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, he finished eighth bubble the final table.

209
00:10:40,879 --> 00:10:43,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he was a bit bummed obviously. I mean,

210
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,960
I mean still a good results, still good series for

211
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,320
Chino Reim, did you have his series stats on hand?

212
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had four cashes at three final tables obviously

213
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,559
and that Finnal table bubble three hundred and thirty five

214
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,200
points he picked up.

215
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so China know, you know, a pretty great season overall.

216
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,200
And I believe he led in terms of cashes and

217
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,320
titles or did fox And tie him in titles?

218
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 2: Foxin ended up tying him. They both have five wins

219
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,360
for the season. Uh, and obviously there is still one

220
00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:19,440
event to go. There is a tiebreaker for that wins. Yeah,

221
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,200
Chino crushed the crap the cashes, thirty five cashes. Next

222
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,279
best was several with thirty one, and then after that

223
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,279
we had two people on twenty eight, which was Nick

224
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,879
Schulman and John Reordan.

225
00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: How many of those cases do you know from Chino

226
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,000
came in the mixed game series because Fox and Fox

227
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,919
and will play polo. They'll both play po will obviously

228
00:11:40,919 --> 00:11:43,679
both play in No Limit, but I don't think foxing plays.

229
00:11:43,919 --> 00:11:49,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, China picked up three cashes during PGT Mixed Games

230
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:54,799
and obviously got a couple at the World Series. He

231
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,080
didn't have the best World series, only had four cashes,

232
00:11:57,159 --> 00:12:02,799
while Fox and Sxson's World Series was very strong. Eight

233
00:12:02,879 --> 00:12:04,480
cash is eleven hundred points.

234
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, so listen, it came down to the wire. Then

235
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,279
they get to the found taplesod Chino goes out in

236
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,600
eighth places we talked about. They get to the final

237
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:16,360
table of seven and this last event is you know,

238
00:12:16,519 --> 00:12:18,600
I don't know, call it the freaking roaring twenties, twenty

239
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,679
minute levels, twenty second shot clocks, like it's just everything

240
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,799
is twenty twenty second time, banks, et cetera very fast event.

241
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,519
They get down to the final table and like, no

242
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,279
one's got chips they get When they got down to

243
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,480
the found table, there was like one hundred and four

244
00:12:34,519 --> 00:12:40,080
big blinds in play total. Josh Aria had many of

245
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,360
those big blinds. He had I don't know what thirty

246
00:12:42,399 --> 00:12:44,159
five percent of the chips and player or something like

247
00:12:44,159 --> 00:12:48,159
that to start. Everyone else was pretty short. Foxon's basically

248
00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:50,720
playing this like a satellite, knowing that he has to

249
00:12:50,759 --> 00:12:54,879
get to fourth to get the poy. Everyone else knows that.

250
00:12:55,039 --> 00:12:59,879
But then there's also the added dynamics of, you know,

251
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,000
josh Aria needs to win, and if he wins, he's

252
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,360
going to get a dream seat. If aram Aganian wins

253
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,720
the tournament, he's going to get into the top forty.

254
00:13:09,159 --> 00:13:11,440
If Jonathan Little wins the tournament, he's going to get

255
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,399
a dream seat, you know. And then you have what

256
00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:17,679
Chewie Brandon Wilson, and was that it.

257
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, boy, No, Chewey was already in so he

258
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:22,279
could already.

259
00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:24,639
Speaker 1: But I unders saying that they had already kind of

260
00:13:24,639 --> 00:13:28,039
locked up their positions and they're just playing a regular tournament.

261
00:13:28,399 --> 00:13:32,159
Before that as well, you had Brandon Wilson, who he

262
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:37,039
wanted to cash in order to just really solidify his

263
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,679
position on the leaderboards. He wanted to cash because if

264
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,440
he cashed, he got a couple more points. He's like,

265
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,159
there's no shot that, like any craziness can happen for

266
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,360
me to lose one of these dream seats. But then

267
00:13:47,399 --> 00:13:50,399
if he finished at least eighth, this is Brandon Wilson again,

268
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,879
then he would move into the top forty of the

269
00:13:52,919 --> 00:13:56,960
season long leader board, which other players were rooting for,

270
00:13:57,159 --> 00:13:59,360
because if he moves out of the dream Seat leader

271
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,639
board into the top forty, he makes an additional dream

272
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,480
seat available, most notably for Jeremy Becker, who was in

273
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,840
sixth place on the Dream Seat leader Award again five

274
00:14:09,919 --> 00:14:12,519
dream seats awarded, Brandon was ahead of him. But if

275
00:14:12,519 --> 00:14:16,159
Brandon then gets into the top forty, you know, all

276
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,360
this sort of shakes out. And like Brandon's like in

277
00:14:19,559 --> 00:14:22,919
he's in multiple pots, all multiple all in situations like

278
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,679
before the before the final eight were happening, like it was,

279
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,759
it was crazy, and like, you know, Jeremy's messaging us

280
00:14:28,759 --> 00:14:31,240
because he's he's playing down the street, I played at

281
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,279
Hollywood in the circuit event. He's like, hey, like what

282
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,559
are my chances? You know, like We're like, well, Brandon's

283
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,799
all in right now, like all this sort of stuff.

284
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,559
So it was it was pretty wild. There was one

285
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:45,960
hand in particular where so Jonathan Little he has to

286
00:14:46,679 --> 00:14:52,679
win the tournament, but he can also finish second if

287
00:14:52,799 --> 00:14:56,639
Brandon Wilson finishes in the top eight. If he were

288
00:14:56,639 --> 00:15:00,200
to finish second, then he would have tied with Jeremy Becker,

289
00:15:00,679 --> 00:15:03,120
but Brandon Wilson would have been out and moved into

290
00:15:03,159 --> 00:15:05,399
the top forty. So but then there was a hand

291
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,720
where Brandon Wilson basically moved on and left like one

292
00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:10,840
chip behind or one big blind behind or something. Jonathan

293
00:15:10,879 --> 00:15:13,600
Little put him all in from the big blind with

294
00:15:13,759 --> 00:15:17,440
a six off, which I thought was if you know that,

295
00:15:17,519 --> 00:15:19,799
you can't bust Brandon Wilson, Like I thought that that

296
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,080
was just crazy to me. But also is that collusion

297
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,240
or is that just the dynamics of the situation.

298
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,919
Speaker 2: I mean, we could question some chip dumping, but uh.

299
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,559
Speaker 1: I mean, but I'm just saying, I'm just saying, just

300
00:15:32,679 --> 00:15:33,960
fold your hand type of thing.

301
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it doesn't quite make sense. I think

302
00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:39,159
maybe he actually had it wrong in his mind and

303
00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:41,440
was actually just trying to bust him. So it took

304
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,000
a you know, slightly high variant spot than he may

305
00:15:45,039 --> 00:15:45,480
normally have.

306
00:15:46,919 --> 00:15:50,639
Speaker 1: That's my yeah, I think I would have just folded

307
00:15:50,679 --> 00:15:52,600
my hand. You know. It's it's pretty it's very much

308
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,919
like a satellite in a lot of ways, you know,

309
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,679
because but he also needs Brandon Wilson to finish top

310
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,320
eight was part of the equation for him, So I

311
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,200
mean what whatever, I mean, It was just there was

312
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,320
a lot of just fun, little interesting dynamics to everything

313
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,200
that were going on, and like everyone was kind of

314
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,960
aware about it. So like, you know, especially when they

315
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,720
got down to that seven hind to final table, like

316
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,080
everyone knows fox And has to finish fourth, right, everyone

317
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,559
knows like josh Aria has to win, or Jonathan Little

318
00:16:20,639 --> 00:16:22,759
has to win, or Aramaganiy has to win, you know,

319
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:27,279
so it's very just kind of interesting. Then there was

320
00:16:27,279 --> 00:16:31,360
this crazy hand at the final table where josh Aria

321
00:16:31,519 --> 00:16:34,960
has he had like one point five million and he

322
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,440
raised to one point one million. The big blind was

323
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,159
one hunter k so he puts out the large majority

324
00:16:41,159 --> 00:16:43,879
of his chips behind him. Brandon Wilson goes all in

325
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,440
and has him cover slightly covered folds back to Aria

326
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,320
and Brandon Wilson. This is another situation by the way

327
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,200
of these players exposing cars, because Brandon Wilson immediately turns

328
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,960
his hand over, yeah, and he showed he shows aces,

329
00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:03,720
which it's just freaking crazy. So Aria sees it. They're

330
00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:05,920
sitting right next to each other. Aria sees it, and

331
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,880
he's like quickly folds his hand. He said he had

332
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:15,079
ace jack. So that's another crazy situation where if ari

333
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,880
A doesn't see his hand, he probably calls off the

334
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,279
rest of his chips right, and then he's likely out

335
00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:24,759
of the tournament. The very next hand, Aria gets two

336
00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:30,799
kings and doubles up like it's just it was just

337
00:17:31,039 --> 00:17:33,720
wild how some of this stuff was playing. Anyway, it

338
00:17:33,799 --> 00:17:37,039
goes on that Alex Foxen ends up getting into fourth

339
00:17:37,079 --> 00:17:41,079
place or there's four players left, so he secures the

340
00:17:41,079 --> 00:17:44,279
Player of the Year title, and then from there you

341
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,359
had a long battle to get down from four to one,

342
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,240
especially the heads up match that took place between Brandon

343
00:17:51,279 --> 00:17:54,079
Wilson and Alex Foxen. It was back and forth, back

344
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,839
and forth, multiple lead changes, even though there was like

345
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,440
forty big blinds in play total, Like the these guys

346
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,880
were just battling back and forth, back and forth, you know,

347
00:18:04,519 --> 00:18:06,799
whoever was all in just like could never lose. It

348
00:18:06,839 --> 00:18:10,319
was it was crazy. Eventually though, Alex Foxen did the

349
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,880
damn thing. He came out on top. He won the

350
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,079
whole thing two hundred and thirty two thousand dollars to

351
00:18:16,279 --> 00:18:19,559
thirty two point four. I think was was the final prize. So,

352
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,119
you know, he had already secured the PGT Player of

353
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,359
the Year title, but great good on him to be

354
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,359
able to cap it all off with a win. You know,

355
00:18:27,599 --> 00:18:32,079
I thought Alex Foxon absolutely crushed this season. You know,

356
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,519
Sam's overall would have been deserving as well. You know,

357
00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:36,799
of course based on the point system. I trust the

358
00:18:36,839 --> 00:18:39,720
point system, you know, but but I you know, I

359
00:18:39,759 --> 00:18:41,359
do have to say that I was I was looking

360
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,440
through Silverall's results in the past couple of days, and

361
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,640
I was like, where where did all these points come from?

362
00:18:47,599 --> 00:18:50,599
Like what what happened? And a lot of it was

363
00:18:50,599 --> 00:18:52,680
was ws AP related. Think he won the ten K

364
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,079
six max for example, Like that was a boatload of

365
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,119
points there. There was like a fIF a in there.

366
00:18:59,319 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 2: He was just basically consistently kind of you know, getting points,

367
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,559
you know, final table here every series.

368
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's always very consistent. Yeah, over like yeah,

369
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,319
every season. You know, he's he's like one of those

370
00:19:11,319 --> 00:19:14,319
guys who's he's for sure always in the top ten,

371
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,640
if not always in the top five, like always.

372
00:19:17,319 --> 00:19:20,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, he you know, he won a couple of smaller events,

373
00:19:20,519 --> 00:19:23,880
but you know, like every you know, every win counts.

374
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,920
You know, a couple you had a runner out finish

375
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,119
in the PLO series, you know, several final tables. He

376
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,200
had the runner up in the hundred KPLO. You know,

377
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,880
he he won an nap AT event, runner up in

378
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:36,960
an NAPT event.

379
00:19:37,519 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think well that specifically, just quickly

380
00:19:40,279 --> 00:19:42,799
is that I think people because you know, it kind

381
00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:44,480
of came about where people were like where did Sam

382
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,480
get all his points from? And people kind of forget

383
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:51,839
when like a lot of Sam's points came dissip he did.

384
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,279
He did very well during the napt Las Vegas series,

385
00:19:54,279 --> 00:19:56,680
So it's like stuff that's not in the studio, people

386
00:19:56,759 --> 00:19:58,799
just kind of like forget about. Whereas you're in the

387
00:19:58,839 --> 00:20:02,079
studio all sees and long, you're seeing everything that's happening

388
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,119
in the studio, so you're you're a little bit more

389
00:20:04,839 --> 00:20:07,359
you're closer to that happening so it's just more front

390
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:07,799
of mine.

391
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

392
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: So anyway, Alex Oxen is the twenty twenty five PGT

393
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,119
Player of the Year. As I did mention earlier, he

394
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,480
gets a fifty thousand dollars bonus. He's gonna enter the

395
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:24,079
PGT Championship with the most chips and funny, you know,

396
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,759
I kind of joked with him afterwards while he was

397
00:20:25,799 --> 00:20:29,559
taking his winner photo for this event that he's had,

398
00:20:29,599 --> 00:20:33,440
He's had very very close results to like series titles

399
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,880
and stuff like that before. The one that stuck out

400
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,079
to me the most was the PLO series where it

401
00:20:39,079 --> 00:20:42,079
was him and Jesse Lonis coming down right to the wire.

402
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,240
Jesse Lonis is at the final table of the twenty

403
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,599
five K championship event of that series, but then they

404
00:20:47,599 --> 00:20:50,160
had a five K turbo that was happening that Foxen

405
00:20:50,279 --> 00:20:53,039
needed to win. So Foxin is in the in the

406
00:20:53,079 --> 00:20:56,200
Foxin's in the main studio rooms. He gets to heads

407
00:20:56,279 --> 00:20:59,559
up against I think it was Zach Schwartz, Yeah it was,

408
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,960
you know, yeah, and Jesse Lomnis, who is like, you know,

409
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,119
always in their blasting maximum pressure on everyone is playing

410
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,720
basically icm nitfest in the in the twenty five kids

411
00:21:11,759 --> 00:21:13,559
trying to fall so he can get as many points

412
00:21:13,599 --> 00:21:16,279
as possible to beat Fox. And so that that was

413
00:21:16,319 --> 00:21:20,799
another fun race that you know, once involved Alex Foxen.

414
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,480
With this one he ultimately was able to come out

415
00:21:24,519 --> 00:21:25,000
on top of.

416
00:21:25,519 --> 00:21:28,759
Speaker 2: Real quick about Fox and just touching on his year,

417
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,279
he was the first player to reach one hundred PGT cases.

418
00:21:32,319 --> 00:21:34,599
He has one hundred and eight right now, first player

419
00:21:34,599 --> 00:21:37,720
to reach ten thousand PGT points, still leading that. He

420
00:21:37,759 --> 00:21:41,160
has the most PGT final tables with seventy seven. He's

421
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,519
tied for second with Steven Chidwick for most wins with twelve,

422
00:21:44,599 --> 00:21:49,519
behind several thirteen, and he leads PGT earnings with nineteen

423
00:21:49,599 --> 00:21:53,000
point three million. So it's not just this year for Alex.

424
00:21:53,039 --> 00:21:56,799
Obviously very consistent over the first you know, five seasons

425
00:21:56,799 --> 00:22:00,720
of the PGT and you know that reward is now

426
00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:03,200
being crowned the twenty twenty five PGT Player of the Year.

427
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: Crusher, absolute freaking crusher, dream seats. Yeah, all right, who

428
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,680
won the five? Tell me who won the five?

429
00:22:13,599 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 2: Well, it was good, it was a good fun race.

430
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:21,839
The big winner David Odie b Baker, two cashes, two

431
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,640
runner up finishers, tops the leaderboard gets that dream seat

432
00:22:25,839 --> 00:22:29,200
in to the PGT Championship, took that final event off.

433
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,640
You know, he's sent me kind of asked me, like,

434
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,640
that's my goal, try and get enough points where I

435
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,799
can take that last event off. Watched some football, et cetera.

436
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,759
So he was in. Next up, Neil Warren won his

437
00:22:40,799 --> 00:22:44,680
first PGT title. It was the tied for the biggest

438
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,440
field in the room. He's second and he was also

439
00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:52,200
one off the top forty two. So if he had

440
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,720
cashed in one of those last two events, I think

441
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,880
he had to get about the twenty k cash, he

442
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,759
would have actually qualified for the top forty. That would

443
00:22:59,759 --> 00:23:03,680
have free up another seat four. We'll talk to it

444
00:23:03,759 --> 00:23:06,559
for someone else. Clement Dang he won the opening event.

445
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,759
He got in because he got another cash as well.

446
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:13,200
And then the penultimate event winner Chi Jun Chu or Justin.

447
00:23:13,319 --> 00:23:16,279
I think he said he goes by. He won his

448
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,160
first PGT title. To be fourth and then fifth was

449
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,880
kind of where it all. You know, the sweat was coming.

450
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,119
We had Jeremy Becker in that spot, we had Phil

451
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,160
helm with, we had Land and Tyres, Jared Jaffe, all

452
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,960
these players playing that finale, you know, knowing what they

453
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,200
needed to do. And then obviously they had to sweat

454
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,839
some other results, but it ended up going to our boy,

455
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,359
Jeremy Becker one hundred and ninety three points. He want

456
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,400
a rounded up, so let's just say it's one ninety four.

457
00:23:42,839 --> 00:23:45,599
And then yeah, that that person on deck that was

458
00:23:45,599 --> 00:23:48,039
Phil Helm with and Land and Tice. So you know,

459
00:23:48,079 --> 00:23:49,920
if Neil warrant to get that cash, we could have

460
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,880
seen Phil Helm within the PGT Championship, but not this year.

461
00:23:54,039 --> 00:23:57,000
We'll have to wait until twenty twenty six hopefully. But yeah,

462
00:23:57,039 --> 00:23:59,839
they're the dreams. He winners, ODB Baker, Neil Warren, Clement

463
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,839
and True and Jeremy Becka.

464
00:24:04,039 --> 00:24:08,319
Speaker 1: I mean, just again another really really fun race, you know,

465
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,559
came down to the wire, you know, like Becker's in

466
00:24:11,559 --> 00:24:14,599
our in our messages, NonStop, just trying to sweat all

467
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:15,599
the stuff that's happening.

468
00:24:16,559 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 2: You know.

469
00:24:16,759 --> 00:24:18,759
Speaker 1: I'm sure plenty of other people were sweating as well

470
00:24:18,759 --> 00:24:21,480
who were close. I know, Jared Jaffey had had a

471
00:24:21,519 --> 00:24:25,359
fairly decent run in that in that in that final

472
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,920
turbo there, he didn't cash. He did fall. I don't

473
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,960
think he cashed. He might have cashed, but either way

474
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,039
he fell shorts, you know, but he was definitely like

475
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:33,480
he's like, you know, I need to do this, I

476
00:24:33,519 --> 00:24:36,160
need to like basically finish top whatever, and and yeah,

477
00:24:36,559 --> 00:24:39,400
you know again another really fun sweat to it all.

478
00:24:41,279 --> 00:24:43,240
And then of course you had the just the top

479
00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:47,759
forty right where everyone's battling all season long to get

480
00:24:47,759 --> 00:24:51,880
into the top forty. You know, Jeremy Osmas ragining PGT

481
00:24:52,039 --> 00:24:56,119
Player of the Year, well not anymore, actually last last

482
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,640
season's PGT Player of the Year because now it is decided,

483
00:24:59,759 --> 00:25:04,200
and and last year's PGT Championship winner, you know, Ozmus

484
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,240
also went on to win that event. He was outside

485
00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:10,599
looking in coming into the series. He earned enough points.

486
00:25:11,559 --> 00:25:13,480
The big one was a final table run that he

487
00:25:13,599 --> 00:25:16,599
had in the middle of the series to get into

488
00:25:16,599 --> 00:25:18,640
the top forty. But then he's someone who you know,

489
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,720
needed to sweat some stuff happening for players getting in.

490
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,200
You know, it wasn't in any way, shape or form

491
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:31,599
a guarantee, whereas somebody like let's say Patrick Leonard, who

492
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,599
started the season off really hot first half of the season,

493
00:25:34,759 --> 00:25:37,079
was at some point he was at the top of

494
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,039
the leader board. Then he was you know, within the

495
00:25:39,039 --> 00:25:41,759
top five to ten for a good majority leading into

496
00:25:41,799 --> 00:25:45,240
the WSP he started to just kind of slide slide, slide,

497
00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:48,039
slide slide. Next thing you know, he's outside the top

498
00:25:48,079 --> 00:25:51,880
forty looking in. But Pads of course, won an event

499
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,000
during the PGT Last Chance which shot him up kind

500
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,039
of into the middle ish area of the top forty.

501
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,640
So he was like pretty much locked, right, I mean,

502
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,440
he was still playing until the end, but he was

503
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,359
very much locked in. Osmas was the opposite, you know,

504
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,240
he was he got in, but it was like, man,

505
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,839
I could still because he only got he only leapfrogged

506
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,200
the bottom two people.

507
00:26:13,039 --> 00:26:16,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean when we started Last Chance, the top

508
00:26:16,319 --> 00:26:20,119
forty was sorry, the last the last few names we

509
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:24,000
were we were Richard Greco, Ben Toleraene Sean Deeb, Michael Duek,

510
00:26:24,079 --> 00:26:29,799
Jim Calapee, and Joseph Chenko. Nacho Barbero. Now Greco, Toleraine, Deep,

511
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:35,799
Duek and Barbara weren't coming, but they were obviously all

512
00:26:35,839 --> 00:26:37,559
hoping to make the championship. So a lot of these

513
00:26:37,559 --> 00:26:39,559
guys I was kind of texting to back and forth

514
00:26:40,599 --> 00:26:41,319
on the outside.

515
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: It have to be clear that they weren't coming for

516
00:26:43,039 --> 00:26:45,960
PGT Last Chance, correct, correct, Yeah, they were going to

517
00:26:46,039 --> 00:26:49,039
monitor and then get on a flight for the championship.

518
00:26:48,599 --> 00:26:50,599
Speaker 2: And some had flights booked, you know, with you know,

519
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,519
ready to cancel if they needed to on the outside.

520
00:26:53,519 --> 00:26:56,240
Looking in forty first, with all the like you know rules,

521
00:26:56,279 --> 00:26:59,799
we had David Common, forty second, Jeremy Osmas, forty fourth,

522
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,119
Patrick Leonard, you know, forty six was TJ. Reid, and

523
00:27:04,279 --> 00:27:06,680
forty seventh Sam last Wuiz. I say those names because

524
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,960
they played pretty much every event. Now, David Coleman had

525
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:16,759
a great series and leapt into the top forty and

526
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:21,960
moved all the way up to about twentieth place. Jeremy

527
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,720
Osmas he got his cash. He missed the ladder against

528
00:27:24,799 --> 00:27:28,920
David Coleman, but he was in. But then as things

529
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,759
started moving, you know, he was dropping down and down

530
00:27:31,759 --> 00:27:33,519
and down. He did get another cash, so that kind

531
00:27:33,519 --> 00:27:35,559
of gave him a little bit of a buffer. And

532
00:27:35,559 --> 00:27:38,599
then obviously Pads he won event too. He leapt in.

533
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,079
Fortunately for TJ. Reid he couldn't get that third cash

534
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,640
and that likely that third cash would have qualified him.

535
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,680
And then for Sam Lasko it's not a great series either.

536
00:27:48,759 --> 00:27:53,119
He couldn't sneak in. So yeah, that lower end of

537
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,160
the forty was just everyone was monitoring it. I had

538
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,559
texts from you know, Richard Greco and Sean Deev every day,

539
00:28:00,759 --> 00:28:04,440
talking to Michael Duek, talking to Ben Toleraine and then

540
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,119
even Callopy if you remember from I think it was

541
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,599
last year he was the bubble boy. Uh he got

542
00:28:09,599 --> 00:28:10,319
pushed out of.

543
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: Two seasons ago.

544
00:28:11,839 --> 00:28:12,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, two seasons ago.

545
00:28:12,839 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: He was sitting at the bar just just like every

546
00:28:16,519 --> 00:28:18,480
like five to ten minutes he would walk into the

547
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,079
studio room. I'm pretty sure he was drinking a marguerite

548
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,359
or something kind of ease his nerves, and he was

549
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,119
like sweating. You know what was what was happening because

550
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,559
there was a couple of people in that if they

551
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,480
they cashed in that final event would bump him out.

552
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,039
And that's what he was sweating last year with Jeremy Becker.

553
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:35,680
How can you forget that?

554
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:42,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so calop he got himself in. Uh

555
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,359
and look he so he was in, but he wasn't

556
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,039
locked in, right, He wasn't like David Coleman. So he

557
00:28:47,079 --> 00:28:50,160
was still sweating some results come that final event. You know,

558
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,079
you would have seen yesterday he was sitting at the bar,

559
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,599
but he was a bit happier because it was you know,

560
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,200
he was a pretty strong likelihood, you know, to get in.

561
00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:03,599
He needed like an exact trifecta of results to get

562
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,720
him knocked out. But yeah, he ends up finishing in

563
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:13,759
thirty eighth place, Jeremy Osmas thirty ninth, and Ben toleraen forty.

564
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,759
So I mean, Sean Deeb is this year is bubble

565
00:29:15,799 --> 00:29:20,960
Boy by one point as well? So he's like, is there?

566
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,519
He texted me today, is there any Have you heard

567
00:29:24,559 --> 00:29:27,839
of anyone else opting out? And I said, to be honest,

568
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,599
the only three names I could think of that May

569
00:29:29,759 --> 00:29:34,079
Night show would be Michael Mizrahi, Ben Lamb and Eric Wasserson.

570
00:29:35,279 --> 00:29:37,799
And he goes, how I doubt it? And I go,

571
00:29:38,279 --> 00:29:41,119
I mean, I've texted Mirahi, but he could easily be

572
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,039
playing a slot tournament in Cuba or something. I don't know.

573
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:45,759
Speaker 1: Well, I know he's in Vegas today.

574
00:29:45,799 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: I did see that. Yeah, he's playing a cash game

575
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,119
in Vegas and I so that does help. Deeb did

576
00:29:51,279 --> 00:29:55,559
text Wasserson and Lamb. They said they're playing, So he said,

577
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,559
probably going to just cancel my flight. I'll see you

578
00:29:58,559 --> 00:29:59,359
at the World Series.

579
00:30:00,079 --> 00:30:02,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is one of the one of the requirements.

580
00:30:02,799 --> 00:30:04,839
So you had to obviously get enough points to finish

581
00:30:04,839 --> 00:30:06,799
in the top forty. That was a requirement number one.

582
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:11,039
Number two, you had to have at least three PGT cashes, right,

583
00:30:11,079 --> 00:30:13,160
Tim and I have talked about this at many points

584
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,200
on this podcast during the season. You know, as you know,

585
00:30:16,319 --> 00:30:18,200
miss Rocky was one of those people who needed to

586
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,039
find a third cash. He was able to find that

587
00:30:20,519 --> 00:30:23,880
during the PGT qualifying events at that basically Paradise. But

588
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,079
then then the third part of this equation was because

589
00:30:26,119 --> 00:30:31,039
we ultimately want forty players from the leaderboard in ideally

590
00:30:31,079 --> 00:30:34,519
it would be the top forty, right, but there are

591
00:30:34,559 --> 00:30:39,559
some players who in excuse me, in past seasons didn't show, right,

592
00:30:39,599 --> 00:30:41,799
They just didn't show Which makes it a little bit

593
00:30:41,839 --> 00:30:45,920
awkward because you know, you're trying to create this event

594
00:30:46,079 --> 00:30:50,720
that hopefully everyone wants to to play for and try

595
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,960
and get in and all that sort of stuff. Okay,

596
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,359
but then if they don't show up, it's like, well,

597
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,799
do they not like our events? Do they not care

598
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,839
for it? Like whatever. So let's say you have forty

599
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,680
four people on show up, then you have thirty six.

600
00:31:03,759 --> 00:31:08,240
It's like, well, that's kind of weird. On the other

601
00:31:08,279 --> 00:31:11,640
side of things, you know, we want to put on

602
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,519
an event that everyone wants to play. Everyone you know

603
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,920
wants to get in, and we really want to show

604
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:23,759
that high stakes competition aspect of it all. So Tim

605
00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:27,519
instituted this new rule that where you basically had to

606
00:31:27,559 --> 00:31:29,759
opt in with him as the commissioner. You had to

607
00:31:29,759 --> 00:31:32,039
tell him listen, I'm gonna play. So you know, he

608
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,720
got a hold of everyone under the sun, and some

609
00:31:34,759 --> 00:31:37,519
players said, you know, no, I'm not gonna come. And

610
00:31:37,839 --> 00:31:39,599
if that's the case, if you told us ahead of

611
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,279
time that you weren't planning to come at all, you know,

612
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,240
it's okay for you to basically pass up on my seat.

613
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,799
So there was a hand how many of those players

614
00:31:47,799 --> 00:31:48,160
were there.

615
00:31:49,039 --> 00:31:53,599
Speaker 2: They ended up being three people opting out Victor blam

616
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:58,279
Lettara Guerrera and Texas Mike. Okay, So those seats rolled down,

617
00:31:58,319 --> 00:32:01,279
and then you had the players that were ineligible that

618
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,240
didn't that were in the forty but didn't have you know,

619
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,359
enough cashers to get them.

620
00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: So anyone there was no one this year that needed

621
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,440
a third cast during Last Chance, right.

622
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 2: Uh from the in the forty No, just outside, like

623
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,039
I kind of mentioned Terrence Reid was you know, a

624
00:32:21,079 --> 00:32:24,400
decent cash outside the top because.

625
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: Last season we had what Tomayo, Jonathan Tomyo.

626
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 2: Jonathan Tomyo was the big one, firing pretty hard to

627
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,359
get that last one. And then I think we had someone.

628
00:32:33,559 --> 00:32:36,079
Speaker 1: Was it was it? Brian Kim was one of them?

629
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:36,759
Was he last year?

630
00:32:36,839 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 2: Is the Yeah? I think that, Yeah, it was a

631
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:39,440
Brian Kim.

632
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,039
Speaker 1: Brian Kim is another one. He got it. He I remember,

633
00:32:42,359 --> 00:32:44,559
got one mini cash right right away.

634
00:32:45,079 --> 00:32:47,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, he got one min cash to get his third

635
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,400
cash to be twentyeth on the leaderboard. Yeah, so those

636
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,559
two guys a bit more expensive for Jonathan Tomyo, but

637
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,880
you know he did win the main event for ten millions,

638
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:56,440
so he's fine.

639
00:32:56,599 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's okay. So yeah, you know, so we're gonna

640
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:02,160
have have all forty of these players, you know, at

641
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,119
least for what they've told us, told Tim, you know,

642
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,480
they should be there. You know, no one should be

643
00:33:09,039 --> 00:33:12,920
not showing up. So obviously you know we'll see. But yeah,

644
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,400
so you know it's an event where I think it's

645
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,960
I mean, everyone wants to be there, Everyone wants to

646
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:19,799
compete in this thing.

647
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 2: They want to I want to just say, yeah, I

648
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,559
played the free Lassia. You know, there's a little bit

649
00:33:24,599 --> 00:33:26,880
on it because like obviously there's only topics a price,

650
00:33:27,359 --> 00:33:29,680
there's only six payouts, so it isn't it's not like

651
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,960
an easy tournament to win. It's not like there's everyone's

652
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,440
getting paid out, so it's so hard to make money.

653
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,240
But I think you know you hear from these guys. Yeah,

654
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:38,480
I just want to qualify. I just want to be.

655
00:33:38,839 --> 00:33:40,119
I just want to be part of it. I want

656
00:33:40,119 --> 00:33:41,599
to get the play a bag. I want to get

657
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,519
some cool stuff. I want to be I want to

658
00:33:43,559 --> 00:33:46,000
feel like this is a cool way to, you know,

659
00:33:46,519 --> 00:33:49,000
conclude this season. You know all the hard work I put.

660
00:33:48,799 --> 00:33:51,759
Speaker 1: In, yeah, for sure, and you see the same thing.

661
00:33:51,799 --> 00:33:54,400
But on the opposite side, people that just missed, you

662
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,240
know that they they want to get in. You know,

663
00:33:57,279 --> 00:33:59,359
there's a bunch of people that put in a lot

664
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:03,880
of volume this season that did not ultimately get in.

665
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,880
I mean, I know, Jeremy Becker won a dream seat,

666
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,320
but we wouldn't have heard the end of it from

667
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,679
him had had he not gotten in. You know, given

668
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,320
he was, he was in the studio for every single

669
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,440
freaking Nolan Holden tournament, right carry Katz did not qualify

670
00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:20,159
this year. You know, he finished what one hundred points

671
00:34:20,199 --> 00:34:22,599
out or maybe even less, but you know he was

672
00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:24,440
like constantly talking about it and how he wanted to

673
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,320
get in there, trying to make that push to the end.

674
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,880
So you know, and you see it in that. You know,

675
00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:32,960
in the events during the PGT Last Chance Series, everyone

676
00:34:33,159 --> 00:34:35,320
is out there trying to chase. You know, you had

677
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,599
you had Eric's headel was out there blasting. You had

678
00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:41,199
Seth Davies, you had Shannon Shore, you had Brent Kenny

679
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,719
as well. You know all these players Aramaganyan, you know,

680
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,119
et cetera. Like they were all out there really trying

681
00:34:47,159 --> 00:34:49,840
to get some more points to get into that top forty.

682
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,400
So you know, there is a bit of pride with it.

683
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,159
You know, you kind of want to see. Listen, I

684
00:34:54,159 --> 00:34:57,000
put in all this time and effort over the course

685
00:34:57,039 --> 00:34:59,960
of the twenty twenty five PGT season. I played, how

686
00:35:00,039 --> 00:35:02,800
over many dozens of events, you know, however, many hundreds

687
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,679
of thousands of dollars in buy ins. So even if

688
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:11,559
ultimately my effort in the PGT Championship, should I make it,

689
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,440
you know, ends up not resulting in a cash. If

690
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,079
I bust out before the top six and make any money,

691
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,320
like still just making it there is like listen, all

692
00:35:19,599 --> 00:35:22,039
this wasn't all or not? Like you know, like so

693
00:35:22,119 --> 00:35:23,679
that's what I think a lot of these people are

694
00:35:24,039 --> 00:35:28,280
are trying to chase, and that's ultimately what we want

695
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,199
to create. You know, this is you know, we're kind

696
00:35:31,199 --> 00:35:33,599
of trying to create like I guess pokers version of

697
00:35:33,679 --> 00:35:35,440
the FedEx Cup if you want to take us a

698
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,760
sports analogy here, or you know, any sort of like playoffs,

699
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,800
like you know, I'm watching the Bills Jaguars game right now,

700
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,639
so you know, any sort of playoffs, like you want

701
00:35:44,639 --> 00:35:46,880
to just kind of get to the dance and then

702
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,400
you know, whatever happens in the big dance like can happen, right,

703
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,519
you know, we can see somebody come from the bottom

704
00:35:51,519 --> 00:35:53,280
and go on to win the thing.

705
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:53,559
Speaker 2: You know.

706
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, Alex Foxen does start with an advantage, you know,

707
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,800
but yeah, Alex Foxen's advantage is kind of similar to

708
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,199
if you get the one seed in the NFL playoffs

709
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:04,679
and you get a little bit of a buye. He

710
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,239
gets a little bit of an advantage to start. So yeah,

711
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,960
it's a it's good stuff. You know, I like it,

712
00:36:12,039 --> 00:36:15,519
you know, I do. Part of me also wishes though

713
00:36:15,559 --> 00:36:20,360
that I wish and this is, I guess, you know,

714
00:36:20,639 --> 00:36:22,840
something that I'm trying to solve just given my role

715
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,000
as like how do we make it kind of catch

716
00:36:25,039 --> 00:36:29,639
on more? Just because it's it's it is the closest

717
00:36:29,639 --> 00:36:33,000
thing to like a sports league that poker has. I mean,

718
00:36:33,079 --> 00:36:36,079
I like, I'm never gonna be one that says, you know,

719
00:36:36,119 --> 00:36:39,800
poker is a sport. I don't believe that. But you know,

720
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,239
if if this, if there was anything in poker that

721
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,159
was as close to some sort of like sports league

722
00:36:45,599 --> 00:36:48,840
as possible, I do really believe that the PGT is

723
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,159
it just the whole season long aspect you have, you know,

724
00:36:52,199 --> 00:36:55,280
all the different elements to it, the points, leader board,

725
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,199
et cetera. Like it's you know, it's got basically it's

726
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:02,280
regular season. It's got its play offs, it's got the champion,

727
00:37:02,559 --> 00:37:06,039
all that sort of stuff. So you know, yeah, I

728
00:37:06,039 --> 00:37:08,159
hope it, uh, I hope it continues to just kind

729
00:37:08,159 --> 00:37:09,159
of build and catch on.

730
00:37:09,519 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. I agree.

731
00:37:11,199 --> 00:37:13,639
Speaker 1: So Fox is gonna start with the lead three hundred

732
00:37:13,639 --> 00:37:16,440
and fifty thousand, what's that? Three hundred fifty big blinds yep,

733
00:37:17,199 --> 00:37:20,800
and the lowest stack is going to be who it's

734
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,840
gonna be from from the top forty.

735
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,159
Speaker 2: From the top forty, it's one hundred and thirty big blinds.

736
00:37:27,119 --> 00:37:29,760
Speaker 1: And then and who's that Benal that's been tal that

737
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:35,000
has been tolerant okay, Brandon Wilson, Oh, Eric Blair made

738
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,880
it okay, Thomas Boyven, Mike Zulker. I'm just kind of

739
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:43,840
looking to the names there were, like who didn't we

740
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,039
see in the top forty during the PGT Last Chance?

741
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 2: Adam Hendricks, Yeah, Adam Hendrix, michaelm israhe uh, we didn't

742
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,719
say Eric Wassingston, Sean Rafael, Chad Age Sledge. But a

743
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,519
couple of these guys, you know, John Wallslink, Isaac Hackson

744
00:37:59,519 --> 00:38:02,559
Ao said we're just coming for you know, the free role.

745
00:38:02,639 --> 00:38:05,199
They would pretty say. Phil Sternheimer rocked up for the

746
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,800
last event, was crushing that then didn't go his way.

747
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,079
Speaker 1: You know when let you go ninth maybe.

748
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:17,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, ninth or tenth, yeah, win Lee, Dylan Lindy and

749
00:38:17,199 --> 00:38:19,880
Bryce Yocky showed up on that last event, didn't play,

750
00:38:20,039 --> 00:38:23,880
but Ben Lamb didn't play. Ben Lamb. We saw a

751
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,360
little bit of Eric Blair, not a whole lot, but Yeah,

752
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,880
it's really it's a great series for kind of anyone,

753
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,480
you know, if you want to improve your position, or

754
00:38:32,519 --> 00:38:34,679
if you need to sneak in, or if you're way

755
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,920
up top and need to try and want to try

756
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,400
and win that Player of the Year title. So there's

757
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:43,880
a lot of there's a lot of pros for this series.

758
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,440
And if you look at you know, I was looking

759
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:50,960
at the numbers just before of the series. You know,

760
00:38:51,119 --> 00:38:54,079
we had two one hundred and twenty six entry player

761
00:38:54,119 --> 00:38:58,039
fields not play two hundred and twenty six entrants, which

762
00:38:58,119 --> 00:39:01,360
was the second largest of all time in ten K

763
00:39:01,559 --> 00:39:05,719
buy ins. Now, last year's series very flat, you know,

764
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:09,199
we basically averaged one hundred and sixteen, but the highest

765
00:39:09,199 --> 00:39:11,199
we had was one twenty one. Lowest we had was

766
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,360
one to eleven. This year we were you know, one

767
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,119
O nine, one twenty six, one twenty six, one seventy

768
00:39:17,159 --> 00:39:19,079
and bouncing around a little bit. And then we obviously

769
00:39:19,079 --> 00:39:21,440
did something different, which was that one day Turbo, which

770
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,000
I think got eighty three. But I think eighty three

771
00:39:25,159 --> 00:39:27,519
for a Turbo was pretty good a single day turbo,

772
00:39:27,679 --> 00:39:31,519
especially with you know, we also had the WSP circuit

773
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,719
going on, which did steal a few of our players.

774
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,360
So you know, having that on in town and still

775
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,119
putting out basically averaging one hundred and eleven entrants in

776
00:39:40,159 --> 00:39:43,280
all our events was was very good. Once you're even

777
00:39:43,519 --> 00:39:45,519
throw in that whole new tax low that's coming, So

778
00:39:46,639 --> 00:39:49,000
I think the series will always have a place in

779
00:39:49,039 --> 00:39:53,639
the PGT with all that added value. Yeah, I'm just

780
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,199
a big fan of PGT Last Chance.

781
00:39:57,159 --> 00:40:00,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I agree with you. I you know,

782
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,760
very happy with the numbers themselves as I was tracking

783
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,480
them going going along, you know, I was also very

784
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,559
happy when I saw someone like a Nick Schulman, Jausamou,

785
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:15,039
Jesse Lonis, you know, Steven Chidwick, Christen Fox, and like

786
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:19,599
those players who were one locked into the top forty.

787
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,280
You know, those players are all in the in the

788
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,760
top ten, but they were still out there blasting every

789
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,360
single day in every single tournament. So you know, yeah,

790
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,800
part of that is going to be like, well, what

791
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,199
else are these guys are going to do? Their poker

792
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,280
players and this is what they do, right, I mean

793
00:40:32,679 --> 00:40:34,880
you know, but also as you mentioned, you know, there

794
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:36,880
was there's been plenty of players who kind of told

795
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,920
us maybe they'll scale back on their buy ins. And

796
00:40:41,039 --> 00:40:43,199
volume doe to the new tax thing at least maybe

797
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,440
until that kind of gets a little bit more sorted out.

798
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,360
So there was that, and then you know they also

799
00:40:49,599 --> 00:40:51,280
like they didn't really need to play.

800
00:40:51,039 --> 00:40:54,199
Speaker 2: Like yeah, they had nothing.

801
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,519
Speaker 1: Out there, and like blast Off in all the tournaments,

802
00:40:55,559 --> 00:40:57,519
like he's just you know, but you know, part of

803
00:40:57,559 --> 00:41:00,000
it is maybe they again, they just want to play

804
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:01,920
because that's what they do. The other part is, like

805
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,159
I think it's like I think with Phil Sternheimer. You know,

806
00:41:05,199 --> 00:41:06,920
he could have come in on Sunday, but he came in.

807
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,920
He got one event in you know, kind of like

808
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:10,599
a little warm up, right, you know, you kind of

809
00:41:10,639 --> 00:41:12,440
want to dust the rust off if he took some

810
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,400
time off for the holidays, you know, and you know,

811
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,400
get in there battle with a lot of the people

812
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,599
that you're going to be playing with, you know, come

813
00:41:19,679 --> 00:41:22,519
the championship anyway, so you know that sort of thing.

814
00:41:22,559 --> 00:41:27,119
Speaker 2: He's also secretly here for a nice high stakes mixed game.

815
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't really a secret in the room.

816
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,360
He was telling everyone about about this mixed game that

817
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:36,079
he's got going on. All right, So we talked about

818
00:41:36,079 --> 00:41:39,159
the top forty, We talked about the five players who

819
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:43,239
won dream seats from the PGT Last Chance Series. But

820
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,519
we also have additional dream See winners. Why don't you

821
00:41:45,599 --> 00:41:47,679
let me know who those players are?

822
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, So he ran a variety of promotions you know,

823
00:41:52,119 --> 00:41:55,960
and partner promotions throughout the year. First one we did,

824
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,920
you know, in a BT Las Vegas. We ran a

825
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:03,360
leaderboard there. Nick Changela, obviously PGT regular most years, hasn't

826
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:07,719
been playing a lot recently on the PGT, but he

827
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,440
won that lead aboard. So he'll be starting with one

828
00:42:10,519 --> 00:42:13,880
hundred and twenty five big blinds. The next eight dream

829
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:18,519
See winners all qualified to start with one hundred bigs.

830
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,519
We're gonna start with Run Good Poker series they ran

831
00:42:22,199 --> 00:42:25,320
the last three years. They've ran a basically promotion with us,

832
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:29,519
you know, promoting the PGT, promoting Poker Go and then

833
00:42:29,559 --> 00:42:35,039
they run a season ending dream Seed Invitational where everyone

834
00:42:35,079 --> 00:42:38,360
that's won a ring gets to know participator, you know,

835
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,880
for a price well, but then also to represent Run

836
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,840
Good in this that was won by Ed Miller, not

837
00:42:45,159 --> 00:42:48,239
the author Ed Miller for those if you remember that name.

838
00:42:49,679 --> 00:42:52,719
Similar to Run Good, Champions Club did something very similar.

839
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,639
They very much mimicked what we do on the PGT

840
00:42:55,760 --> 00:43:00,239
they ran Basically, they did a season ending championship and

841
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,719
every quarter they qualified eight players, and then the eight

842
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,039
players who didn't qualify via that quarter will filled the

843
00:43:08,079 --> 00:43:10,280
final eight spots. So very kind of similar to my

844
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,920
ours with a big of a twist. The winner of

845
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:18,079
that was a David Shaw. He was the third place

846
00:43:18,199 --> 00:43:22,119
finisher in the Texas Pelo Roundup for one hundred K,

847
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,800
his career largest score. So he's going to represent Champions Club.

848
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,119
And then we did a.

849
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: He also won an event before he finished third.

850
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:33,519
Speaker 2: Correct, he won one of the I think it was

851
00:43:33,559 --> 00:43:35,760
the maybe the plow Monster Stack.

852
00:43:36,119 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I mean, listen, this guy's got some chops,

853
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:38,400
Like he's.

854
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 2: Nice guy's yeah, yeah, he's here's a table to WSP

855
00:43:41,519 --> 00:43:42,159
event this year.

856
00:43:42,559 --> 00:43:45,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, if David shows somehow wins this tournament, I

857
00:43:45,159 --> 00:43:47,360
will not be in the in the least bit surprised.

858
00:43:47,679 --> 00:43:47,800
You know.

859
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, him and him and Ed Miller qualified via like

860
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,400
a year long you know, poker promotion. So these aren't

861
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,960
just kind of the random selections. These guys kind of blood,

862
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:00,679
sweat and tears to win nast seat.

863
00:44:01,199 --> 00:44:03,639
Speaker 1: And let me just say one thing quickly, and maybe

864
00:44:03,679 --> 00:44:05,280
Tim will just yell at me for saying this afterwards,

865
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,800
but I'm gonna say it anyway. If you're an operator

866
00:44:09,199 --> 00:44:11,280
or a pokerom manager or whatever out there and you

867
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,559
want a similar promotion with a dream seat to work

868
00:44:13,599 --> 00:44:17,039
with us, reach out to Tim. You know, nothing guaranteed,

869
00:44:17,079 --> 00:44:19,039
but maybe we can do a similar thing with your

870
00:44:19,119 --> 00:44:22,920
venue or your tour or whatever. Right like this helps

871
00:44:23,159 --> 00:44:24,840
on our side. You know, we can get kind of

872
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,079
new people into the big stage, into the big dance,

873
00:44:28,199 --> 00:44:30,360
like you know that way on your side, maybe it

874
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,840
can be a little bit of a revenue drivers as

875
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,599
hopefully you know champions saw So reach out.

876
00:44:37,079 --> 00:44:40,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. Yeah, we're trying to get something

877
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,639
back in a way. The pgt to to give you

878
00:44:42,639 --> 00:44:44,639
that as the stream seats, so we're always open to

879
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:49,760
listening and having conversations. The next three annual subscribe its

880
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,400
pretty self expanentory. You're signed up to Poker Guy, you're

881
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,480
watching out content, you're watching WSP all that stuff. You're

882
00:44:55,559 --> 00:44:58,840
randomly entered into a draw. We drew three winners there,

883
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:03,199
Travis Hogg, David Friedler, and Timothy Tuvousen, so they'll be

884
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,920
representing the annual subscribers. And then we did a social

885
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:11,280
media promotion via Gleam basically you know, retweet this, like this,

886
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,039
follow that, and then that was also basically a random

887
00:45:15,119 --> 00:45:18,199
drawing and Daniel Van Dyke is going to represent you know,

888
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:22,239
the social media side of Poker Go. And then you know,

889
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,679
you listeners at home, we ran a pretty you know,

890
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,159
if you've been a longtime listener, you've you would have

891
00:45:28,199 --> 00:45:32,360
heard our promotion for the Pogo podcast dream Seat and

892
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,920
we did mention this a little while back, but Matthew

893
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:40,360
Petrie he will be win representing the Pogo podcast family.

894
00:45:41,039 --> 00:45:43,159
So you know, I'm not I can't really cheer for

895
00:45:43,159 --> 00:45:44,920
anyone in this, but like I think, if we're going

896
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:46,960
to cheer for anyone, we should cheer for the podcast listener.

897
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,519
And then final dream Set went to Aaron Cooper from

898
00:45:49,639 --> 00:45:52,800
WSB Paradise. That was a you know, with the partnership,

899
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,519
they're a thrown in seat to one of their events

900
00:45:56,119 --> 00:45:59,280
and he ended up winning that one. So he'll be

901
00:45:59,519 --> 00:46:03,079
the last dream See winners. So fourteen dream Sea winners,

902
00:46:03,159 --> 00:46:07,199
forty players, we got fifty four people trying to win

903
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,760
that five hundred thousand dollars first prize on Monday.

904
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, this is going to be a

905
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:17,719
super fun event. I'm not rooting for anyone. I just

906
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:22,840
want to see good entertainment, so you know, final table, like,

907
00:46:23,119 --> 00:46:26,320
you know, I don't really care, Like I mean, yeah,

908
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:28,760
obviously some of these players you know, we're closer with

909
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,079
than others or whatever, but ultimately, like I think it's

910
00:46:31,119 --> 00:46:33,519
just going to be a super fun event, highly competitive.

911
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,000
I think this year kind of the biggest win heading

912
00:46:38,039 --> 00:46:41,800
into the event versus past seasons, which is something I

913
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:46,159
kind of already touched on, is that everyone there it

914
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,440
wants to be there, you know, which I think is

915
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,679
already going to raise the bar a little bit for

916
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,800
like the competition and the entertainment aspect coming in. You know,

917
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,039
because I listen, I did feel a little bit bummed

918
00:46:58,079 --> 00:47:01,320
when phil Ivy qualified the top forty and didn't bother

919
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,119
to show up, Like like you feel a little bit

920
00:47:03,119 --> 00:47:05,559
bummed because you're, like, man, I put on this party,

921
00:47:05,599 --> 00:47:07,519
no one wants to come drink the punch, Like what

922
00:47:07,559 --> 00:47:10,039
the fuck? Like you know, so you know, but this one,

923
00:47:10,119 --> 00:47:12,000
you know, as we talked about, all these people want

924
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,280
to be there. So I think that alone means that

925
00:47:15,559 --> 00:47:18,519
this event means something to those players, and I think

926
00:47:18,519 --> 00:47:22,280
that's going to then translate through to the level of competition,

927
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,559
the battling on the felt, you know, all that sort

928
00:47:24,599 --> 00:47:27,320
of stuff. So it's gonna be really cool. The top

929
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,039
six are going to pay out. I did hear a

930
00:47:30,079 --> 00:47:33,719
little bit of chatter from some people around the studio saying, Oh,

931
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,239
it's really really top heavy. It's really really top heavy.

932
00:47:36,679 --> 00:47:42,239
I mean yes, I mean like purposefully so, I mean

933
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,360
this this event was once in a prior edition Winner

934
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,239
take All when Jason Koon won it, remember that one.

935
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,559
So you know, it is in a lot of ways

936
00:47:53,159 --> 00:47:56,360
it is a made for TV event. I mean it's not,

937
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,079
but it has those elements into it, which you know

938
00:47:59,159 --> 00:48:01,639
when you kind of cram a lot more money up

939
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,599
first prize and you make it a little bit you know,

940
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:08,679
uneven or you know, not as a steady for the payouts.

941
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:10,679
You know, yeah, it's it's a little bit made for TV.

942
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,360
But you know, if we were to do like, let's say,

943
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,400
regular payouts for a fifty four person tournament, you know,

944
00:48:17,519 --> 00:48:20,079
are you gonna get like three hundred and thirty dollars

945
00:48:20,079 --> 00:48:22,199
thirty thousand dollars for first place? And then like it

946
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,599
kind of goes. No, we want to boom big first

947
00:48:24,599 --> 00:48:27,159
place prize, five hundred k, let's.

948
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,159
Speaker 2: End, and alest you gotta remember it's a free roll,

949
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,800
so if these guys are putting up their money, yeah,

950
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,360
it would be a normal payass structure. But yeah, we

951
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,639
make it a little top heavy. And look, we know

952
00:48:36,679 --> 00:48:39,400
what's gonna happen, Like two or three people are gonna

953
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,559
get heads up three handed, and hey, let's look at money.

954
00:48:42,639 --> 00:48:45,559
You know how tournaments are, so you know that may happen,

955
00:48:45,639 --> 00:48:49,360
and we'll deal with that as we have to. But yeah,

956
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:53,559
it is top heavy. And look, obviously there's been some

957
00:48:53,559 --> 00:48:56,320
some discussion about hey, flat lining this. We've had discussion

958
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,760
of hey make this a full reak back to one,

959
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,320
the more everyone gets a payout. So we've we've looked

960
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,440
at several different options, and you know, when next year

961
00:49:05,559 --> 00:49:07,960
season comes, we'll look at it again and see if

962
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,840
we want to change it. But I think, oh, this

963
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:12,880
is the best. Think it's I think it's a good version.

964
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,119
The chips are good. I think we've you know, nailed

965
00:49:16,519 --> 00:49:19,400
how we do it. I think our promotions definitely makes sense,

966
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,599
although some of the players may not understand, but you know, internally,

967
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:27,400
it makes sense for us. And look at you know,

968
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:29,920
I guess we'll quickly talk about the seatrow. It's it's

969
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,239
a random seatual for all the players, just like normal,

970
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:37,159
except for the the eight rung, the eight dream See

971
00:49:37,199 --> 00:49:39,559
winners with one hundred big blinds, the ones that kind

972
00:49:39,599 --> 00:49:43,039
of won, you know, their seat. That one of those

973
00:49:43,039 --> 00:49:45,639
will be on each table. So there's not going to

974
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,280
be any really unfair tables. It's it's we try and

975
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:52,000
keep that side of things balanced. But you know, look,

976
00:49:52,679 --> 00:49:55,119
Alex Fox and Sam several could draw the same table.

977
00:49:55,599 --> 00:49:58,360
You know, Alex Fuxon could draw a table with all

978
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,000
those dream Sea winners that had one hundred and twenty

979
00:50:01,039 --> 00:50:03,480
five big So that side of it's still going to

980
00:50:03,519 --> 00:50:07,159
be pretty random. Once we kick things off on Monday.

981
00:50:09,119 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really like this event. I'm very much looking

982
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:16,119
forward to it. Place starts on Monday at one pm

983
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:20,280

com taking place a little bit later in the day.

985
00:50:23,559 --> 00:50:27,039
We'll basically catch the entire back half of Day one

986
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:30,480
leading down to the final table, and then on Tuesday,

987
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:34,639
the entire final table will be live streamed on poker

988
00:50:34,679 --> 00:50:38,320
Go so be sure to tune in to all of

00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:40,719
that action. It's going to be a lot of fun.

990
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:43,320
We got Jeff Platt and Brent Hanks on the call

991
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:48,920
from start to finish. Yeah, Alex Fox and Michael Is Rocky,

in there. I guess I'll take him.

1053
00:53:37,039 --> 00:53:40,960

Speaker 1: Wow, this is a This is a good section. Yeah.

1058
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:03,320
If if there was anyone who wasn't going to show up,

1059
00:54:03,559 --> 00:54:05,800
it's from this section. There's like two names that I

1060
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:10,559
mean I would question. But all right, I'm gonna go

1061
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:13,880
Thomas Boyn.

1062
00:54:14,199 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 2: Yes, I'll take Matt Wantman.

1063
00:54:16,559 --> 00:54:18,880

00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:22,960
between Thomas Boyn and Pads. Yeah, but I went there

1065
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,559
all right next section. I mean, you know what I

1066
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:31,119
think you take. I'm going with the story. Wow, Okay,

1067
00:54:31,599 --> 00:54:35,360
who who is that? I'm assuming it's either Osma's or Current.

1068
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,840
If you're going with the story, it's awesome. Won it

1069
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:44,280
last year. Last year's POY has been basically outside the

1070
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,480
top forty looking in for the large majority of the season,

1071
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,280
gets in at the end. Now, just run it up

1072
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:53,880
and win it, buddy, let's go. I have to take

1073
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,840
the hot hands, the whole damn thing. Jeremy.

1074
00:54:57,519 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 2: I gotta take Brandon Wilson.

1075
00:55:01,519 --> 00:55:04,320
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a good one. I mean he's he's I mean,

1076
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,679
he's obviously one of the best, and he's he's in

1077
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,639
form right now, all right, dream seen.

1078
00:55:09,599 --> 00:55:10,679
Speaker 2: Just a lot of a good way we should have

1079
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:12,519
done this. We should have started like done like a

1080
00:55:12,559 --> 00:55:15,639
fantasy football draft where you get like a thousand dollars

1081
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:20,360
in auctions and you buy you build your team via chips.

1082
00:55:20,599 --> 00:55:21,920
Yeah yeah, that could be in a fun way. But

1083
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:22,639
this way's fun.

1084
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm taking Jeremy Becker like he's.

1085

1086
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,400

1087
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 2: Man, you got Nick Petangelo there that's pretty good value.

00:57:25,559 --> 00:57:27,440
I told him. We'll probably do some sort of ceremony

1124
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:32,960
