Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the
Poker Go Podcast. It is Sunday, May thirty first, I'm
getting this one in just before the clock turns over
and we are in June. It is eleven fifty one pm.
Just wrapped up another day down at Paris Slash Horseshoe
for the twenty twenty six World Series of Poker. There
were seven tournaments running today. Seven. The place is as
alive as it has been this summer and it is
freaking awesome. We'll hit on a bunch of those tournaments
that happen, might not touch on every single one, but
you know, we'll do our best. Of course, some big
news that went down today. A million dollar bounty was
pulled down at Believe. That was pulled at Horseshoe is
where they were doing day two of the Mini Mystery Millions.
There were some other big bounties pulled as well. A
couple two hundred and fifty k ones, a few one
hundred k ones we got. The twenty five K Heads
Up Championship is working its way down to the final
four now. At time of recording, there are still eight
players remaining. They are playing out the final round right now.
I'm sorry, guys, I'm not waiting up till this ends.
I don't know when it's gonna end, so we're doing
this on the fly. If anything comes across my desk,
i'll talk about it as if it's happening now, that's fine,
But if not, I'm just gonna basically touch on who
the final eight are and then we'll go from there
to set up what will be the final day on Monday.
And then Nick Shulman, the Goat, as some may say,
was denied gold bracelet number eight. We'll talk about that
one throughout this podcast as well. And then I got
a little bit of a take here, at least I
want to throw my take into the ring after a
question that recently came up on the WSP Countdown Show.
And then speaking of that WSP Countdown Show, which is
what it is officially called, as we learned when I
spoke with Jeff Platt on the last episode of the podcast,
if you didn't listen to that episode, I just want
to remind you go back and listen to it. A
little special edition podcast drop. It was just Jeff and
I talking about the new era for the World Series
of Poker, the new Grand arena that the final tables
and the feature tables are being played at, plans for
the coverage, the streaming, all that sort of stuff. Jeff
is a good friend of mine and we had a
really good chat that was taking that took place on
the last episode. If you are listening to this podcast,
please please, pa, please do me a favor. Come on,
hit the favorite button, leave a review, like subscribe, do
whatever you gotta do. Tell your friends, tell your family.
I'm going to tell you guys this on probably every episode,
so just do it please. It really does help us grow.
And I really want you guys to send in some questions,
some comments, your own takes and thoughts on the twenty
twenty six dobs ap to email podcasts at PokerGO dot
com and I'll see, if you know, if they're good enough.
Even if they're not. If I want to make funny whatever,
I'll likely read it on air and then listen. I've
been getting a lot of questions about Tim. About Tim Duckworth. Doucky,
my guy who was on the podcast before, is not
on the podcast. Now here's the deal. I fired it,
just kidding. The real deal is that Tim has a
different role this summer, he is working directly with the
production team. He's basically a table liaison. He did a
lot of that in recent years with our team, but
as this summer is a much more scaled up offering
of what's going on, and we are handling the production
side in partnership with the WSP and in partnership with
Gigi Poger, it's just a lot heavier lift. Like, for example, tonight,
he's going to be doing the table liaison stuff. I
don't know till maybe two or three am, who the
heck knows. So his schedule doesn't really jive with the podcast,
at least for right now. So there's obviously a chance
he comes back on when that schedule shifts back to
more of a normal thing, But at least for these
early days here, he's been handling that twenty five K
heads up, which has been running pretty late every night
so far. So yeah, listen, I'll do my best to
do it myself, and I really love doing it. So
you know, if it was a choice between I can
either do it myself on a lot of the days
or people aren't getting a podcast, I'm choosing to do
it myself. Okay, So that's why I'm here bringing you
guys the podcast again, hopefully every single day that we can.
As we go, you know, I will continue to work
in some good interviews. I just talked about the show
that I did with Jeff Platt talking with him. We
had Daniel Gebba a winner interview from him. We had
a special interview that I did with Nick Palmer as well.
Both of those were two episodes ago, so go check
those out as well, and we'll carry on throughout the
summer as best we can. I don't know what's going
to happen on days when I play. I do plan
on playing eight events, the first of which is coming
up on Tuesday. I'm going to hop into this. I
don't even know really what it's called, the ws AP
Circuit Championship. I guess I don't know. I should get
the I should get the actual name of this tournament.
The name of it, PERWSP dot com, is the nola
At Hold Them US WSP Circuit Championship. I don't really
know what that means. I don't think it's anything special
other than a branded way to help promote the WA Circuit.
But I'll be in there fire on that one. It
starts on Tuesday. You are allowed three bullets max. One
entry plus two re entries. I am bringing all three
shells ready to blast off. Let's freaking go. Hopefully I
can still pod and do it extremely late at night
and I'll just be running deep. You know. That would
be great, That would be the dream. A new season

thing up for the news of the day. We got
Nick Shulman, the man, the myth, the legend, the goat,
was denied his eighth w Soop gold bracelet. He finished
second in the fifteen hundred dollars badoogie event from a
field of five hundred and fifty four entries. Shulman collected
ninety four thousand dollars in prize money. But I don't
think it's really about the prize money for him in
a tournament like this, It's more about getting number eight,
getting another piece of WASP hardware, more legacy, all that
sort of stuff that goes with the great Nick Shulman.
The winner Michael Cassella won it for one hundred and
forty one thousand dollars. It was his first World Series
of Poker Gold bracelets. These two battled a long ass time.
I think heads up play lasted three to four hours.
Shulman did have the lead at one point, but then
he ultimately got short. But when he got short, it
was like every time that Shulman was all in, he
just kept doubling up, kept doubling up, kept doubling up.
But then you know, after a couple hours of that
Shulman just couldn't hold on any longer. He was ultimately
overcome by Cassella. Scott sever finished third in that one.
But I know a lot of people out there were
rooting and were sweating the action and hoping that that
Nick Shelman would get number eight. A lot of actually
a lot of big names stop by to hang out
on the rail. You had Eric Washerson, Jason Mercier, Matthew Wantman,
Jean Barbart Baland came over many times, was saying, you
got this, Nikki, you got this Nikki likely, you know,
verbally cheering his man on. Frank Brannon was there on
the rail. You know, people just kind of Darius Martino
stopped by at one point, so you know, people were
come by, they were really they're really sweat and Nick
hoping that he could get number eight, but ultimately fell short.
That said, a second place finished ninety four k is
still a very good result, especially this early in the summer,
and Nick's gonna have plenty of opportunities to go out
there and get his eighth WSP Gold bracelet. If he
were to win it, he would join You got Michael Mzrocky,
Benny Glauser and Sean deeb they all have eight. Ahead
of them, you got Johnny Moss's got nine. Then there's
three players with exactly ten. Eric Saidel, Johnny Chan and
Doyle Brunson. Phil Ivy has got eleven, and then of
course Phil Hellmuth has seventeen. So all of those players
have reached at least eight gold bracelets, if not more,
tied at seven alongside Nick Shulman. Third place finisher Scott
sever in this event, sever was also going for his
eighth WSFP gold bracelet. Brian Rast has seven and the win
or men the win. I was gonna say men the master,
but then I wanted to leave out the master, and
then I got tripped up. Men win as seven, uh
d n Eggs Daniel and Legrand who also has seven,
John Hennigan with seven, Billy Baxter with seven, and Josh
Aria also got seven. So a lot of players there,
a lot of really good players could have a really
really good opportunity to get to get to number eight,
and heck, maybe even more. I mean a couple of
summers ago Scots he was out there winning three goal braces.
Day two of the WSP Mini Mystery Millions took place Today,
twenty thousand, four hundred and eighty eight entries were tallied
in this tournament, total six starting flights to get there.
That makes this tournament the twenty twenty six Mini Mystery
Millions the sixth largest live poker tournament of all time.
It moves ahead of the twenty twenty two WASP Housewarming
event that had twenty thousand and eighty entries, and then
it slotted just behind the twenty twenty four Gladiators of
Poker also ASP event. That event had twenty thousand, six
hundred and forty seven entries, so booming field in that
one did think it would get up over twenty thousand entries,
and it did. Today was Bounty Day when they announced
the bounties. You had a one million dollar bounty up
for grabs. You had two two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars bounties up for grabs, and then you had four
one hundred thousand dollars bounties up for grabs. Of course,
there was a slew of other bounties, but those were
the biggest in the Treasure test and Andrew Shelton was
the man who pulled the million dollar bounty and it
was pretty wild. What happened to him when he pulled it.
So I was reading through the story on Andrew Selton
Shelton pulling the million dollar bounty over on pokernews dot com,
and he said, when I drew the gold chest, I
was under the gun. So I said, I'd play my
button and then go up after that, because if the
screen populates that he'd get a gold chest, you get
to go up and actually draw out of the chest.
Shelton continues, But on my button, I got ace king
in against pocket aids to bust so Shelton. Shelton says, okay,
I'm gonna play my button, then I'll go up. He
plays his button and busts on his button. Then he
goes up and it's a million dollar pull. He went wild.
He was screaming, he was yelling, he was celebrating and
jumping up and down. The emotion, the reaction you love
to see when you turn a five hundred and fifty
dollars buying into a million dollar bounty pull, absolutely incredible stuff.
Shelton finished in one hundred and second place in the
tournament for thirty three hundred and fifty dollars, so you
know he good cash there. Obviously good run hundred and
second out of twenty thousand and four hundred and eighty
eight entries, but then pulling that seven figure bounty just
absolutely freaking insane stuff. You had Jacob Long and Adidia
Sisla pulling two hundred and fifty thousand dollars bounties each.
I don't really understand this, but those bounties were actually
two hundred and fifty thousand, three hundred dollars. I don't
get that, but that's what they were worth. And then
you had Christopher George Cartek, Ved, Peter Lee, and Hunter Payne.
Those four players each pulled one hundred thousand dollars bounties.
First place in this event is still up for grabs
as well, four hundred thousand dollars up top again five
hundred and fifty dollars buying in this Mini Mystery million tournament.
I believe I saw. I just did a quick scan
of the chip guns. I'm not gonna look through him,
you know, too crazy right now, But I did see
Mike Leah was stilling. I mean, he's probably gonna win
with the way that that guy performs in big field
Pobra tournament. So that tournament I believe, is set to
finish on Monday, so stay tuned for some more news
from the Mini Mystery Millions. The twenty five K heads
up is down to the final eight. Sixteen players returned
for day two, then the final eight are. These are
the matches that are happening right now as I record,
you got Bowding up against Dimitar dan Chev. You got
Carrie Katz playing Ryuta Nakai, you got Henry Pustinen playing
Nikita KU's nets off, and Thomas Boyvaan is taking on
Alex Fox and they are all up. On the main stage,
those final eight players have locked up one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. A min cash was worth sixty K.
Then they got one hundred and fifty thousand. I believe
it was our sixty k if I remember correctly. If
not shoot me, but whatever, the final aid are getting
one hundred and fifty thousand, and there's an eight hundred
thousand dollars first place prize up for grabs. This is
a PGT qualifying event, so there will be some implications
for the PGT leaderboard that eight hundred thousand dollars first
place prize that translates to four hundred and eighty PGT points.
So you know, as we go out throughout the summer,
there are thirty one PGT qualifying events. We are Poker
gro we do have the Poker Grow Tour. So yes,
I'm going to talk about it and we'll see how
that leaderboard starts to get adjusted and moved around as
we go on the BSIP Countdown show, not the one
that was done today, but the previous one. There was
a question that came up. They always do kind of
hot topics or questions and then all the panelists, you know,
give their points and debate and all that sort of stuff.
But the question was asked if heads up poker is
the purest form of poker, And I know that that's
often thrown around. I know that that's often thought about.
You know, some people say the purest form of poker
is Nolanman hold them. Some people say the purest form
of poker is nolantdo seventh single draw. Some say it's
specifically heads up poker when it comes to Nola A
hold them. So that's what this question was centered around,
and after giving it some thought, here's where I land,
and I'm gonna apologize ahead of time for what is
essentially going to be some fence straddling here. Now, the
case for heads up being the purest form of poker is,
you know, there are a couple of things working in
the favor of that. That's going to be your argument.
There's nowhere to hide, right you're sitting there. You got
to play basically every hand. I mean, you don't have
to play every hand, but if you don't play nearly
every hand, you're going to get absolutely steamrolled. In heads
up poker, every decision that you make, every hand that
you play, every street that you play, every bet that
you make, all that sort of stuff, all those decisions
they are only against one opponent, which I think just
magnifies the scope of everything. Because when you're constantly doing
the same thing over and over again, and in the
case of heads of poker, you're constantly planning aainst the
same opponent repeatedly, you know, those patterns start to build,
and then there's a lot of you know, adjusting to
the patterns, pattern recognition, metagame, all that sort of stuff.
So adjustments and counter adjustments matter more than table dynamics
in a heads up format. Positional battles, you know, hand reading,
timing of things. You know, this is a big stack
over here, he's just attacking the little stacks over here.
He's got a certain position at the table. There's there's
all those different elements when you're playing more than just
heads up. You know, six handed, full ring, whatever it
may be. All that sort of stuff is very much
amplified when it's just one on one. You're under the
microscope every single hand. Now, what I just said is
is you know that's kind of the that's the case
for heads up poker being the purest form. Now where
I think it starts to break down a little bit,
and I don't think it fully breaks down, But there's
a volume argument that comes into play specifically with heads
up poker tournaments because listen, when you play heads up cash,
and specifically when you play heads up cash games online,
you know that is where you can get in tens
of thousands of hands. You know you can play if
you're playing heads up cash online, you know you can
play one opponent or across multiple tables for a lengthy
period of time, and next thing you know, you're playing
multiple thousands, if not tens of thousands of hands against
a singular opponent, So the card distribution and the edges
that are present from either player, you know, that all
becomes to become much more, you know, apparent it just
it just becomes fine tuned quite a bit more. Again, this,
I know this is a little bit of fence straddling
here because I just made the case for why heads
of poker can be the purest form. But now I'm like, well,
heads up tournament poker, I don't know if it can
be just due to the time and volume constraints. Now,
if you want to do a heads of poker tournament
that last two weeks, Okay, I get it, Like that's
a different animal, right, but you can't do that. It's
just not possible. Most heads up poker tournaments are done
in two or three days, if not one day, if
you're playing you know something that's a little bit smaller
buying or whatever. So you know, heads up poker, yes,
it can be the purest form of poker because every
decision is magnified and there's nowhere to hide. But a
heads up poker tournament isn't necessarily the purest test of
skill because the sample sizes just ultimately are too small.
So the purer that the format becomes strategically, the more
volume you need to accurately identify, you know, who's ultimately
the better player or who has the bigger edge, and
then that edge applied over an extended period of time
is likely going to you know, normalize a bit more. So, yes,
I don't think there's any argument that heads up poker
is an extremely pure form of the game. But when
it comes to heads up tournaments, when you are constrained
by time, when you are constrained by getting to a
very very large volume, you know, it's not necessarily the
best measure of this being the purest form of poker.
So yes, that is some fence straddling. But I've been
thinking about this for a day and a half and
that's where I settled on this, on the question of
you know, is heads up poker the purest form of poker?
So the answer is yes, but you know, yes because
of this reason. But this is also where it starts
to break down a little bit. It's the biggest PLO
summer on record, and that includes PLO Masterminds, a big
summer sale. Now through July fourteenth, you can save twenty
percent on six month memberships or take twenty percent off
all courses. Just head to plomastermind dot com slash poker,
go choose your plan or your course and start learning
how to win with PLO Mastermind. It's time to stop
guessing and start winning. All right, Now that I got
my heads up, take out of the way, let's just
bounce around quickly to what's going on elsewhere around the
World Series of Poker. You got Phil Hellmuth, the one
and only, is pushing for gold bracelet number eighteen. I
mentioned earlier that he's one of those players who has
at least eight WSFP gold races. He's the way the
hell up there was seventeen. He's chasing number eighteen, and
he is down to the final couple of tables in
the ten thousand dollars buy in Omaha High Low tournament.
Last I looked about fifteen or twenty minutes ago, Helmuth
had a top two stack. He was behind just Scott Clements. Now,
of course, chips can fluctuate quite fast in tournaments, but
he looks like he's been going strong. With the way
that Phil Helmuth plays, the style that he enacts in
these tournaments, he's always a very, very very tough one
to kill, so if he has a lot of chips,
I can only imagine this is really setting itself up
for a final table run. I don't know what the
streaming plans are for Monday, but I would say that
if helm Youth is in line for number eighteen, better
turn them dem cameras on because the hell of a
lot of people are gonna be watching and wanting to
watch Phil hemm Youth go for number eighteen. And even
if he doesn't, you know, Phil helm Youth on a stream,
it's always just pure entertainment, right, especially in a game
like like Omaha Hi Low, where I'm sure he's gonna
have a few choice words his own thoughts, and I'm
sure that will come out with how his opponents are playing,
you know, especially if he starts starts taking some beats.
You got Scott Clements in the mix, still, you got
James Ops, Rob Misrocki, Josh Aria, they were all still
in with a couple of tables left. At time of recording.
I think it's four hundred and fifty thousand dollars up
top in that one, in the six hundred dollars deep
stack that kicked off today. Quite a weekend if you
if you got into the the last flight of the
five hundred and fifty Mini Mystery Millions. Maybe that worked out,
maybe it didn't. But then today, you know, you got
the six hundred dollars Deep Stack starting tomorrow or sorry,
on Monday kicks off the fifteen hundred dollars Nolman hold
Them six Max. And then on Tuesday you got that
seventeen hundred dollars Doubsipy Circuit Championship event. So a nice
little string here for the lower buying Nolan at Holden players.
But in this six hundred dollars deep stack, four thy
six hundred and twenty two entries, goodfield, big number, but
it is down twenty five percent from last year. Last
year this event, same event number, event number ten had
six thousand and ninety entries. So a bit of a
downtick there, but we have seen several downticks across the board.
I think it's just par for the course, you know,
And it's not just the Doubsip events. You're you're seeing
numbers that are not that they're necessarily down a ton
or missing guarantees is what I really should say, because
you know, other venues do a lot of guarantees, but
it's more like they're kind of like just making guarantees,
which when you're operator and you're sweating a guarantee never
you don't want to just make it, you know. I
know I always say that, like you should fall within
a little bit of a guarantee, a little bit over.
That means you set a good guarantee that was hard
to attain. But I think operators always love to smash it.
That's always the phrase, guarantee, smash guarantee crushed on you know,
day two or whatever. But it makes them sweat a bit.
I get it. You know, we had a guarantee it
in the Poker gro studio that we had to sweat.
I mean, it's not fun to sweat those things. But
you know, down there in the six hundred dollars deep stack,
the ten k GGI millions kicked off that had around
two hundred entries and I when I hit record, they
had the clock pause. They must have been playing out
the final couple hands of the day and they were
right around two hundred entries. The clock said one ninety four.
But maybe there was a couple of people that got
in because this is unlimited entry and you can register
into Day two, so you know it might have been
some stuff that wasn't tallied yet. That said, around two
hundred entries on day one. A in this ten thousand
dollars buy an event takes place on Monday. The survivors
from both flights will come back on Tuesday. Ultimately, if
I have this correctly four day event. The structure in
this one is wild. So you start with one hundred
thousand chips and it's one hundred two hundred, so you're
starting with five hundred big blinds. Now, in the WSP
Main Event, the greatest tournament in the world, you start
with sixty k and the blinds are one hundred three
hundred big lines, so you have an incredibly deeper start
starting stack here in this ten KGG millions. You also
have unlimited rantry in this tournament, and then you have
max Late registration and you can come in on Tuesday
and you can come in with twenty five big lines.
That is a ton of big blinds to come with
Max Late. So I'm gonna guess that I mean basically
between today or between Sunday and Max Late redge on Tuesday,
like you can get other tournaments in right so I
think a lot of other a lot of people might
just wait to max late this thing on Tuesday. Might
it might be one of those things where, you know,
I think we saw it for sure last year, if
not the year before too. But like the max late
reg you know, you have fifty sixty. However many people
showing up at the end, they got to do like
a full tournament rejaw, like that whole thing that kind
of delays everything. I think this is gonna be one
of those tournaments where you're gonna have a ton of
people showing up with twenty five big lines, which is
a lot to work with. You know, normally you come
in max lay, you're working with I don't know, twelve
and a half bigs, fifteen bigs whatever, I mean, twenty
five that's a reasonable stack. You can actually play a
bunch of hands and play them to the river. So
that's gonna be something something to consider. And then we'll
see how how Day one B of that tournament goes.
Obviously we always expect starting flights to increase as you
go deeper into the structure, but we'll see. You know,
we already have one tournament earlier that did dip from
Day one B to Day one A. But obviously that
that shot up right after that. I would expect, let's say,
three hundred to three point fifty on Day one B.
That's gonna be my guess. So get up over five
hundred for this tournament. I don't know. Well, you know,
we'll see this is this is an interesting tournament, and
we'll see how it goes, right. I mean, there's a
lot of heavy hitters. I was walking around the field
today a little bit. You know, all the all the
big nolemic guys are in there, you know, but I
know a lot of people were talking about the structure
and how it's almost too good, and that they'll just
take advantage of that that late registration and then go
play some other things in these two days and go
from there. Also, kicking off today, you had the fifteen
hundred dollars no limit deuced to seven single jaw. Now
this one, you know, we've talked to times about how
these numbers are down. This one had a nice boost
over last year. So last year they had five hundred
and thirty two entries in this tournament. This year six
twenty six, that's an eighteen percent increase. That is tremendous
to get to get a boost like that in this
tournament again fifteen hundred dollars, no limit, deuce to seven
singles d all. So that's that's really cool there to
see this event get get an up tech tick like this.
You know, I think the ten k O eight, by
the way, was down a tiny bit. You know, it's
very much in line with last year. So you know,
some events are holding strong, other events are dipping down.
But here, you know, we get a nice uptick from
this uh fifteen dollars ducee and well and we'll see,
you know, Nolan duce and we'll and we'll see if
you know, some other these events start to uptick as
we go. You know, I think I think the first
couple of days you're coming up Memorial Day weekend, people
are still trying to kind of get their bearings. You
get a bunch of people still like coming in from
trit and all that sort of stuff. So you know,
I think I think numbers will still be pretty good
carrying through. I was talking with David Baker, her good
friend ODB the other day, and he was saying how
he's still bullish on the WAD event, which I am
still bullish on the wasb min event, you know, and
I think I mentioned that with uh in my conversation
with Jeff Platt. But I'm just you know, I still
think that, Like I don't know, part of me says
GG poker slash the wicip is gonna do whatever they
can as the summer goes on to cramp more people
into that tournament. I don't know. That's how I just feel.
I feel like you come out with this like this
is your first I know, last year was their first
year owning the Dobsip you know, I'm talking about GG Poker.
But this year, like you come with this new giant
ass arena, like you're doing all this new streaming stuff.
You move from the Horseshoe over to Paris for everything.
You know, you got one hundred events on the schedule,
like it's you know, everything is like okay, let's go,
this is our thing. Now we're rocking, we're rolling. Well
do you want to couple that with a lower number
in the event. I don't think so. So I think
they're gonna they're gonna turn the heat up, you know
quite a bit. Maybe that means more satellites, Maybe they
leverage more stuff on wsp dot com here in the
States as we get closer to it. Maybe it's more
live satellites, you know. Maybe GG poker is ramping stuff
up on their platform for rest of the world. I
don't know what it is, but that's just the sense
that I get, you know, like I don't think you
want to come out and do all this amazing stuff.
But then at the end of it, people are only
talking about a number when it comes to the douvas
main events. Now, I've always said it and I'll say
it again. Whether you get seventy five hundred eighty five hundred,
eight thousand, nine thousand, ten thousand, eleven thousand, whatever it is,
those are insanely big numbers for a ten K freeze out,
you know. So yes, those numbers are great. But we
all know how the media is and we're always going
to be talking about things, and it's like, okay, you
know what sort of decline is in poker because the
WASIP minivent is this big barometer for the entire industry,
and I just think it's it's kind of hard with
how everything is. One. You got the taxing, the ninety
percent rule that sucks. I hate it. I hopefully it
gets you know, reverted, but you know, what can you
do right now? It's there, right and people are you know,
worry about it, and they're concerned about it, so you
got that. Another thing is it's just freaking expensive. And
I don't think a lot of people have a lot
of money. I mean, it's just it's just the nature
of the world. Everything is going up, up, up, up up,
Yet you know, salaries and all that sort of stuff
aren't really you know, following at the same pace, so
it's hard. Maybe people just have a little bit less
money to throw around when it comes to pover that said,
if you are going to throw money around, it's going
into the waspre main event as far as I'm concerned.
So I am still bullish on the ubas main event.
I am still sticking with my prediction that it gets
back up over ten thousand entries. That is my prediction,
and I'm sticking with it until I tell you guys
that I'm not. So let's gobs to be main event.
And with that, I got nothing else to talk about.
I'm sure you guys in stick are tired of me,
but again, you know, I do want to hear your thoughts.
I love hearing questions from you, guys. I love hearing
takes from you guys. I love hearing if you want
to debate me, if you want to argue with me,
if you think I'm right, if you think I'm wrong,
whatever it may be. Maybe there's some stories out there
that are developing that you guys know about that I
don't know about. If there's any of that podcast At
pokergroat dot com, I get in the inbox every single day.
I look for stuff, so please hit me up through there.
I love engaging with the fans. I've met a couple
of you at Paris or Horseshoe this summer, and I
hope to meet many more of you. So that's that.
That's gonna do it for this episode of the Poker
Girl Podcast. My name is Donny Peters. It was a
pleasure as always, and now we'll talk to you guys
next time. Oh
