WEBVTT 1 00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:13.039 Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the 2 00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:17.160 Poker Go Podcast of My name is Donnie peters Is. 3 00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:23.440 It is midnight on the Dot on Thursday in July sixteenth. 4 00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:28.160 This episode's going to be a big old results and 5 00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:34.520 bracelet winners dump. I think I have fifteen, maybe sixteen 6 00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:37.880 events to wrap up. When we got to the WSP 7 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.439 Main Event, I neglected everything out else understandably, so the 8 00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:46.399 WSP Main Event is just the absolute chief event and 9 00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:49.039 had to head to throw everything else to the side, 10 00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:51.079 you know, plus the sickness, all that sort of stuff 11 00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:52.719 that I was battling through. But we're going to get 12 00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:57.159 through almost all of the winners. I looked and this 13 00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:01.560 one case super Turba Bounty has not left, so I'll 14 00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:04.159 leave that till the end. Maybe they'll be done, maybe 15 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:06.719 they won't be. If they aren't, then we're gonna have 16 00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:09.560 to leave that one for an additional pod. But I 17 00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:12.319 do have some more podcasts that I'm planning to do 18 00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:16.359 between now and the WAISB Main Event Final Table, which 19 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:18.719 is coming on August third. I want to do one 20 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:21.000 that talks about the Player of the Year stuff and 21 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.519 how that's all shaping up. You know. There are some 22 00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:27.560 results that happened today. You had Niokihara, Sean deeb and 23 00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:29.840 Alex Foxen going deep in the twenty five k horse. 24 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:32.000 So I don't know if those points are tabulated just 25 00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.200 yet on the WSOP website. So I'll get to all 26 00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:36.719 the Player of the Year stuff and you know how 27 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:39.680 those how those will shake out, because obviously we're going 28 00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:43.879 to be looking forward to WSP Paradise when when it's 29 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.159 going to wrap up. There was an interesting tweet about 30 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.200 I think Scott Sever might have put it out there. 31 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.239 Maybe Scott Sever agreed with somebody I can't remember exactly, 32 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:54.760 but basically it sounds like there might be some interest 33 00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:56.920 in having the basby Player of the Year race end 34 00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:02.959 in Vegas and then start in Paradise. Interesting. You know, 35 00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.239 I don't know if it really aligns with what the 36 00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.760 WSP wants to do. That's obviously up to them, but 37 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:09.639 you know, we'll see how it goes. I agree that 38 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:13.080 that's how it should be, but not my place to 39 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.680 call the shots. And then also, of course, there is 40 00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:17.560 a ton of POY points up for grabs in the 41 00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:19.719 WSP main events, so maybe one of those nine players 42 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.240 can can make some headway and get near the top 43 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:24.240 of the leader board. But you know we'll leave that 44 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.120 for a different pot. This one all about the bracelet 45 00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:31.400 winners that we missed.

First up, 61 00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:26.360 Eric Weaber wins the six hundred dollars ultrastack Nolamit Hold'em 62 00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:31.159 Tournament eight thousand and seven entries. We were taking home 63 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.759 his first gold racet and a nice big chunk of 64 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:40.000 change here four hundred thousand dollars. To Poker News after 65 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.000 he won Weaber, he said, I've been playing poker since 66 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.639 I was a kid with my dad and uncles around 67 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.120 the kitchen table. That's pretty freaking sweet if you ask me. 68 00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.280 When Moneymaker won the main event, I fell in love 69 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:53.159 with the game. I've been coming to Vegas twice a 70 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:56.919 year and every World Series, mostly playing the daily tournaments 71 00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:00.400 and grinding it out, hoping one day I'd be able 72 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:04.479 to play bigger events. Well, we were. Previous best WSP 73 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.719 finish was in eighty eighth place in eight hundred dollars 74 00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:11.400 deep Stack event in twenty twenty three for forty four 75 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:15.639 hundred dollars. And now that he has this four hundred 76 00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.199 thousand dollars score for top in a field of more 77 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:22.319 than eight thousand entries, we can certainly play those bigger 78 00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:24.959 events that he once hoped that he might be able 79 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.560 to take a shot. And so go for it, Eric Weaver, 80 00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:31.519 because you got the bankroll now to get it done. 81 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.560 Matthew Shepski won the one thousand dollars Mystery Bounty PLO, 82 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.680 another big field. In this one, four seven hundred and 83 00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:43.279 sixty four entries, first bracelet for Shepski. He took home 84 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.160 three hundred and five thousand dollars plus I think a 85 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.639 little bit more than twenty thousand dollars in bounties. He 86 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:53.399 defeated Alex Monzano in heads up play. Pretty tough final 87 00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:55.600 table here I see Chris Vich made the final table. 88 00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:59.920 He finished fourth. Mark Rhodoja got fifth, Nick Papio got 89 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:04.079 sixth in this one. Shepski he's not an unknown name. 90 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.199 Maybe some of yous you know may not recognize the 91 00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:10.959 name Matthew Shepsky, but he's a grinder. He's been around 92 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.879 for quite a long time. He's got several w SOOP cashes, 93 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.439 and one of those cases is a twenty ninth place 94 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.959 finish in the twenty twenty two WSP Main Event, where 95 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:23.480 he took home two hundred and sixty two thousand dollars. 96 00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:26.600 Back in twenty fifteen, he won a Heartland Poker Tour 97 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.279 event for two hundred and twenty seven K. He's also 98 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.759 the winner of the twenty eighteen Chicago Poker Classic Main 99 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.079 event one hundred and ninety five K score. There so 100 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:39.480 many big scores on Shepski's reugh record. He does mainly 101 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.800 play cash, but here he is taking home his first 102 00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.199 gold braizlet for winning the one K Mystery Bounty p 103 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:51.680 l oh in The Gladiators of Poker three hundred dollars 104 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:55.279 buying in this one, Johnny O'shawna taking it down for 105 00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.839 two one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. He topped a 106 00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:02.399 field of eleven thousand, one hundred and eighty five entries 107 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:04.920 to get the job done. More on that field size 108 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.040 in a bit, But for O'shawna first goal bracelet, he's 109 00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:13.279 got live cashes that go back to twenty and thirteen. 110 00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:16.240 According to the Hendi moov dot com he won an 111 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:20.720 MSPT event at Venetian Las Vegas back in twenty twenty 112 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:23.480 one for one hundred and thirty K. This now, of course, 113 00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.240 tops that with the two hundred and fifty K score 114 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.959 for winning the bracelet in The Gladiators of Poker. He's 115 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:33.079 got a handful of w SOFP cashes prior to this one. 116 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:36.399 His best, I think was a twenty fourth place finish 117 00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:40.439 in this summer's six hundred dollars ultrastack that we just 118 00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:42.800 talked about the event that was won by Eric Weaber. 119 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.680 Johnny O'shanna got twenty fourth in. He cashed in that 120 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.959 one for fifteen thousand and six hundred dollars. Congratulations to 121 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:56.959 Johnny O'shawna. Now on the Gladiators of Poker, eleven one 122 00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.600 hundred and eighty five entries. When I saw that final number, 123 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.519 I was thinking, hmm, that seems very low for this 124 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:07.639 event and went into the old stats well to do 125 00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:11.279 some digging around. Back when this spent debuted in twenty 126 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:15.560 twenty three, it had twenty three thousand and eighty eight entries. 127 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:18.399 Then in twenty twenty four it had twenty thousand, six 128 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:22.720 hundred and forty seven. Last year twenty four thousand, six 129 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:28.199 hundred and twenty nine entries. So the eleven eighty five 130 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:30.879 entries for this year is Gladiator as a poker is 131 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.959 a far cry from where this event once was in 132 00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:39.720 terms of turnout. In twenty twenty five, that twenty four thousand, 133 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:43.240 six hundred and twenty nine that's the number two largest 134 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.480 tournament field in the in the in the live poker 135 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.399 world of all time. The twenty twenty three version of 136 00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:52.600 this event was the number three on the list, and 137 00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:54.879 then twenty twenty four is number seven on the list, 138 00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:57.000 So you know, it kind of leaves you wondering what 139 00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:01.199 the heck happened in twenty twenty six here, even though 140 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:04.040 you know, and we talked about this back when we 141 00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.079 got through the first fifty events and we ran through 142 00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:10.399 those numbers. How yes, a good handful of stuff was down, 143 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:16.000 but those kind of headlining you know, the Colossus, the 144 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:18.959 what was it, Millimaker, the Monster Stack, all that sort 145 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:23.079 of stuff was doing pretty well. Overall. I would put 146 00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:24.680 the Gladiator as a poker in the same vein of 147 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.160 those events, you know, those kind of headlining marquee, big field, 148 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:30.759 multi flight events that are looking to attract the masses 149 00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:34.080 who are trying to get in at an accessible price point. Well, 150 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:36.360 this one did not do so hot, and I think 151 00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:39.039 it has to do with the timing for when it 152 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.519 fell on the schedule so previous years. In twenty twenty 153 00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:45.360 three it was June seven through twelfth, twenty twenty four, 154 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.279 June sixth through eleven, so very much in that you know, 155 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:53.320 first ish two weeks of June. Last year it was 156 00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:56.720 June twenty fifth to twenty to thirtieth, So still in June, 157 00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:58.960 although in the back half of June this year though, 158 00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:01.000 they had it at what I would like to call 159 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.360 a post Limb so post Doubsopy main event, kicking off 160 00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.440 July eighth through thirteen, and I would say that that 161 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:10.559 is likely what hurt the turnout in this event. Now, 162 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:13.000 of course, you know, there's always a lot of schedule 163 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:15.720 juggling and shifting around from year to year. They got 164 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:17.759 to fit all these different events in different areas. But 165 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:21.720 this one looks like it suffered. I'm gonna guess the most, 166 00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:24.879 because nothing's going to take a dive of around thirteen 167 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.360 thousand entries like this one did in the Gladiators of Poker, 168 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.240 So that's a big dip and one, you know, the doubicipy. 169 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.519 I'm sure we'll be looking at for next year for 170 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:35.919 where they want to put this one on the schedule. 171 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.399 Another popular event on the World Series of Poker schedule 172 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:55.919 is the three thousand dollars buy in Mid Stakes Championship. 173 00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:59.320 This is a no limit holding tournament. This year's event 174 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.879 and six hundred and sixty eight entries, Yan ting Jiang 175 00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:08.200 won it. She topped the field to take home. This 176 00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:11.440 is a big number, one million, one hundred and fifty 177 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:14.759 nine thousand dollars. I mean, holy crap, you turned three 178 00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:18.240 k into one point one five million, almost one point 179 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.399 one six million. Holy lordy, Maurice Hawkins, I know, very 180 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:25.399 polarizing figure. There.

Nonetheless, 198 00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:25.840 Her previous best score was earlier this series. She got 199 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:28.919 forty seventh in the w SP one K Mystery Millions, 200 00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:32.320 taking on twenty four thousand dollars.

He told Boker News 205 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:50.759 that this was his first ever fifty k. It's also 206 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:53.799 the most that he had ever invested in a tournament. 207 00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:57.120 It was a huge shot take. He said. None of 208 00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:59.519 this feels real. It feels insane. This was just like 209 00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:01.559 a big punt at the end of a At the 210 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:03.480 end of the series, I was having a winning summer. 211 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:05.279 I was like, I'll punt it. I'll have a go 212 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:07.120 at it. You know, it feels like a dream. It 213 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:10.159 doesn't feel real. It feels so much to me. He 214 00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:13.080 also said, my mom's not very well and all I 215 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:14.879 wanted to do this summer was come back to her 216 00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:17.039 with a bracelet. I've done it. And I've done it 217 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:18.519 in one of the biggest tournaments of the year. It 218 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.759 means so much, so much congratulations to Jamie Dwan. I 219 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.559 think what he means by this punt here is that 220 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:29.559 he was probably up a little bit, you know, like 221 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:32.200 I would guess he was probably up like seventy k 222 00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:33.879 on the summer. And then he said, you know what, 223 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:37.399 me being up whatever, he's up a little bit of 224 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.919 money or me me going home break even or down 225 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:41.720 a little bit, that's all the same, right, So I 226 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:43.799 might as well just fire it into this tournament. It's 227 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.080 the last big one. Let's see what I got. And 228 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:49.399 here he is walking away winning two point two seven 229 00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:53.320 six million dollars.

Gran New is wrapping up a profitable 234 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:12.440 World Series of Poker. Absolutely crushed it this year, had 235 00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:15.200 some deep runs, had a couple of final tables.

He told Poker News, definitely got 280 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:50.759 the revenge. Heck yeah, you did, my man. He flew 281 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:53.759 back just for this tournament, just for the weekend. He 282 00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:56.080 was on the fence, he said about coming back because 283 00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.559 he really didn't take that much time off, or he 284 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:00.440 really can't take that much time off. But it was 285 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.200 definitely worth it. Of course it was worth it. He 286 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:05.799 was able to better his final table from last year, 287 00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:09.360 take on almost two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. And 288 00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:11.799 then for Lonas, do you want to point out another 289 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.639 second place finished for Lonas at this World Series of Poker. 290 00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:17.960 If you guys remember way back to the beginning of 291 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:21.080 the WSOP, Lonis got second in event number five, the 292 00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:24.399 five KPLO event.

I've never played this event, 303 00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:00.559 but I always love it. I don't know, maybe I 304 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:02.480 just love the name, and maybe I love that. You know, 305 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:04.519 it's got a huge field, it's a good price point. 306 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:07.759 I love everything about this event. For Hassan, it was 307 00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:11.920 a new career best score. That is according to hended 308 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:15.640 Mob in twenty twenty four, though he did win the 309 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:19.559 win Summer Classic twenty two hundred dollars Mystery Bounty for 310 00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.799 four hundred and sixty thousand dollars.

I'll talk 316 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:44.319 about the other ones that he has. In a second 317 00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:47.680 farad in mustavolv Out of Bulgaria six hundred and sixty 318 00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:51.240 k for second, Calvin Anderson another big results for him, 319 00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:54.319 third place, and then you had justin Liberto, which we 320 00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:56.440 just talked about in another event. Here he is getting 321 00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.519 fifth for two hundred and fifteen thousand dollars. I mentioned 322 00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:04.400 how this was Peters's fifth bracelet his prior ones. His 323 00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:07.119 first one was back in twenty sixteen he won a 324 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:09.680 fifteen hundred dollars nolhim at hold Him event for four 325 00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:13.240 hundred and twelve thousand dollars. Then he won two online 326 00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:16.640 events as his next two bracelets. Twenty twenty he won 327 00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:19.000 the ten K heads up Nolan Holdham Championship for three 328 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:21.720 hundred and sixty thousand dollars, and then twenty twenty one 329 00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:24.960 he won the seven seven hundred and seventy seven dollars 330 00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:27.559 Lucky Seven's high Roller for two hundred and eighty three 331 00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:30.599 thousand dollars. Then in twenty twenty two he won the 332 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.720 one hundred k high Roller for one million, one hundred 333 00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:37.759 and sixty six thousand dollars, a bit of a return 334 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:41.240 to the winner circle, you know, both of course on 335 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:44.400 the felt but also probably a bit with the life 336 00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:46.960 situation that Peters seems to be involved with, because he 337 00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:50.240 had that situation when Dylan Lindy outed him on social 338 00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:53.599 media in April for unpaid debts. That was that was 339 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:56.200 a big thing that blew up. Peters did come out 340 00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:58.640 with the statement himself. He said, you know, he got 341 00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:01.039 himself into a bad way. And I'm paraphrasing here, but 342 00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:03.000 he got himself into a bad way, but he is 343 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:05.440 going to do what he can do to make things right. 344 00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:08.759 I saw the video, the video clip of the moment 345 00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:10.799 when Peters won. Here, he went over, he hugged his 346 00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:15.480 wife Hayley, big embrace there. She was definitely in tears, 347 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:18.799 and you know, hopefully this is getting things back in 348 00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:23.000 the right footing for David Peters. I've personally always liked 349 00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:25.720 the guy, you know, I thought he was always very nice, 350 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:28.119 but it did seem like, you know, through some of 351 00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:29.920 the stuff that came out that he got himself into 352 00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:32.160 a bad way. But you know, what can help that 353 00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:34.880 win in a million dollars, right, and then hopefully you 354 00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:38.319 can write anything that might have been wrong in the past. 355 00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:42.000 So David Peters fifth gold bracelet ten k, six handed 356 00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:59.720 Nolan Holand Championship winner Garrett Dwyer won the five hundred 357 00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:03.200 dollars Summer Saver foury, six hundred and twenty two entries, 358 00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:06.359 first bracelet for Dwyer, two hundred and ten k in 359 00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:10.640 the bank for him.
