1
00:00:10,839 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the

2
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:18,640
Poker Go Podcast. It is twelve twenty seven am on Tuesday,

3
00:00:18,839 --> 00:00:23,480
June fourteenth. Gonna start this one off in a little

4
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,160
bit of a different fashion because I got a special

5
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:32,039
guest that decided to hop on the podcast tonight or today,

6
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,880
or whatever the heck you want to call it. Tim

7
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,159
Duckworth had an early night, so he was able to

8
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,119
hop on the show with me. We recorded that before

9
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,840
I recorded the rest of the podcast. So we'll just

10
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,719
kick things off by bringing in Ducky first. Him and

11
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:52,840
I will talk for a bit. I try and get

12
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,119
his temperature on, you know, his overall impressions of the

13
00:00:56,119 --> 00:00:58,600
World Series of Poker. I ask him what his big

14
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,479
storylines are. You know, we just kind of talk about

15
00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:05,599
all things WSOP. Was very fun to get him back on.

16
00:01:06,239 --> 00:01:08,519
Hopefully we can do that a little bit more as

17
00:01:08,519 --> 00:01:11,040
we go throughout the summer. But of course it does

18
00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:15,159
depend on schedules, you know, as explained in his little

19
00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:17,519
stint on the show. You know, he talks about why

20
00:01:17,519 --> 00:01:19,120
he hasn't been able to be on the show just

21
00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:21,920
with the busy schedule that he has on the production

22
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,519
side of things. But yeah, that's what we're going to

23
00:01:24,599 --> 00:01:27,519
get into. First. I'm also going to hit on some

24
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,480
of the events that wrapped up. Adrian Matteos won the

25
00:01:30,519 --> 00:01:33,439
two hundred and fifty k Super high Roller for a

26
00:01:33,599 --> 00:01:38,280
second time at the WSP, his sixth the WSP Goal Bracelet,

27
00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:42,480
Juan Rodriguez won the Senior's high Roller, Matthew Moss won

28
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,000
the eight hundred dollars Deep Stack, and then I'll hit

29
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,959
on the updates for some of the other events, most

30
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,400
notably the Colossus and the ten K Big Oh. There

31
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:53,680
are nine players left in the Colosses. There are four

32
00:01:53,719 --> 00:01:58,480
players left in the Big O. So without further ado,

33
00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:03,640
let's just roll the segment with Ducky and now, for

34
00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:07,040
the first time this summer, I am joined by the

35
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:12,080
busiest man in show business because he's NonStop running around

36
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,120
on the floor. Mister Tim Duckworth, Welcome. It's about time.

37
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,120
It only took a seven thirty pm finish for you

38
00:02:19,159 --> 00:02:21,960
to get on the podcast, but but we are here.

39
00:02:22,599 --> 00:02:23,240
What's going on.

40
00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 2: It's good to be back, finally, finally back. I had

41
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:29,639
a lot a lot of people reach out saying you

42
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,719
need to get back on the pod. Conch just have

43
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,400
Donnie Soler and you know what the stars of in

44
00:02:34,479 --> 00:02:37,439
line today? What is it? It's twenty first day of

45
00:02:37,479 --> 00:02:39,479
the World Series of Poker. We got a seven pm

46
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,759
wrap up on the stream, So why not let's pod

47
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,199
let's do this, Let's talk poker, let's talk the World Series.

48
00:02:45,479 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: Well, the first thing we should talk about is let

49
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,520
the people know what the heck you have been doing

50
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,560
all summer and why I'm calling you the busiest man

51
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:54,840
in show business.

52
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you have been buried under a rock, you

53
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,560
will notice there are five feature tape out there on

54
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:02,599
the main stage. One of them is set for Hustler,

55
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,199
So there's four feature tables. So I kind of, you

56
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,400
know the little I'm the stage manager. I'm kind of

57
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,039
wrangling what's going where. I'm managing the bio team. I'm

58
00:03:12,039 --> 00:03:16,120
doing chip counts. I'm also working with WSP on you know,

59
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,599
what events to bring up to this new cluster section

60
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,000
we have. We have twelve tables just south of the

61
00:03:21,039 --> 00:03:23,759
main stage, you know, near the countdown set, and then

62
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,240
we have that big gold section thirty six tables, you know,

63
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,159
working with them, what we can put there, what time

64
00:03:29,199 --> 00:03:32,319
people bag, et cetera. So it's pretty much an all

65
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:35,759
day thing. There's lots of texting, there's lots of group chats.

66
00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:40,159
It is pretty constant, but it's great fun. It's kind

67
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:42,479
of what I did last year, just you know, ten

68
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,560
xt the work. But yeah, it's just doesn't really matter

69
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,680
what you're doing. It's just great to be at the

70
00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:50,560
World Series. I think you probably feel the same way.

71
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: I do feel the same way. It's always good to

72
00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:57,039
be back. I will say that this year I felt

73
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,360
like at times, like I talked about at the beginning,

74
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,039
where it felt a little bit slower to get into it.

75
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:07,039
And I think that was because of the whole waiting

76
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,360
to unveil the new set, you know, and it was

77
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:13,280
kind of like we're basically hiding this thing, which is

78
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:15,639
such a big part of everything. So it took a

79
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,600
few days for me to get into it. And then

80
00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:20,079
there are some days when I'm kind of like, hmm,

81
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,360
it seems a little slow here, like last night was

82
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,519
one of them, you know, And it's just it's I

83
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,959
don't know, I just once once I get into the

84
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,680
mode of the World Series, and there's like three to

85
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,680
five final tables wrapping up a day. On days when

86
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,040
there's not at least three, I feel like it's slow day.

87
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,519
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. Last year, we were

88
00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:41,360
based in the horseshow we would take little walks, get

89
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,560
those steps in come over to Paris to see what

90
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,480
was cooking. This year were flipped it. We're here in Paris,

91
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,079
Is where the action is. How many times have you

92
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,279
ventured over to the horsesho.

93
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,959
Speaker 1: Probably five, as we would do. Four of those have

94
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,199
been when I was playing.

95
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:57,879
Speaker 2: Aunt Okay so.

96
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,319
Speaker 1: Wan, so I've been over there once or twice.

97
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,639
Speaker 2: And that's I think the difference where I haven't been

98
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,240
there as much this year either. I would say, you know,

99
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,720
maybe a dozen times I've walked over there, but the

100
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:12,519
fact we're not seeing you know, those big day ones,

101
00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:15,839
the big day you know, day two, A, two b's

102
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,399
in like the mystery millions and classes kind of events.

103
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,120
It does feel like you said, a little slower, a

104
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,800
little quieter on this side, because once you know things

105
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,120
play down, it's always this side that is the playdown day.

106
00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:31,560
So there's less players in here. The tournaments are getting busier,

107
00:05:31,639 --> 00:05:35,319
but doesn't feel like the World Series. I think we're

108
00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:35,879
accustomed to.

109
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: Well, one of the reasons why I haven't gone over

110
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,680
to horseshoe is. I went over there one day to just,

111
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,839
you know, go for a walk. Check it out. First

112
00:05:44,879 --> 00:05:48,240
of all, once you cross over the midway point and

113
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,079
you hit horseshoe, the smoke brick, You're smashed in the

114
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,040
face with a cloud of smoke. That is unfreaking barrel terrible. Okay,

115
00:05:55,199 --> 00:05:56,959
So I'm like, I'm not going over there. I can't

116
00:05:56,959 --> 00:05:59,920
do it. So on the times. On the other times,

117
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,480
I basically like, go outside and I go up, and

118
00:06:02,519 --> 00:06:04,199
I go up the ramp and I go in the backway.

119
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 2: Oh, you take the extra long way. I can't.

120
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: I don't think it's that long.

121
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:09,879
Speaker 2: Okay, it's not. It's not.

122
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,639
Speaker 1: I've done that much longer. It's probably shorter. But I

123
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,720
just the smoke is unbearable. I can't do it. And

124
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,759
also I like the horseshoe. I like the nostalgia. I

125
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,639
like how it's kind of old, it's a little bit

126
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,240
grimi or dirty or all that sort of stuff. But

127
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:28,079
I mean, it's like going from freaking the blagio over

128
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,800
here to such a circus circuit on the other side.

129
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,879
I mean, here is awesome. Everything is like newer, it's fancy,

130
00:06:35,079 --> 00:06:37,120
the air is clean and then you go over there

131
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,720
and I'm like, where did I just go? Did I

132
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:39,879
just walk into commerce?

133
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,959
Speaker 2: You know what the downside is of this place. It's

134
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,839
a big negative to me, but it's a big pro

135
00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:47,360
to you. It is freezing cold over your impowered.

136
00:06:47,439 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: I love it.

137
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: You love it. And you know you said you did

138
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,720
a lap outside because of the smoke. I did a

139
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,959
lap outside the other day to be in the sun,

140
00:06:56,079 --> 00:06:58,959
to be in this hundred degree vegacy, to warm on

141
00:06:59,079 --> 00:07:00,399
my body that I feel like I was about to

142
00:07:00,399 --> 00:07:01,480
suffer from hypothemia.

143
00:07:01,519 --> 00:07:04,199
Speaker 1: Well I do that too, because because I like it cold,

144
00:07:04,519 --> 00:07:06,920
I go outside to get overly hot and then when

145
00:07:06,959 --> 00:07:09,439
I come inside. The other day I played the Super

146
00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:12,920
Turbo Bounty in Horseshoe and it was very cold in

147
00:07:12,959 --> 00:07:16,040
that room, but the room wasn't full. Now when I

148
00:07:16,079 --> 00:07:19,160
played the Monster Stack, and they started us in Normandy

149
00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:21,800
and then they moved us down which.

150
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,079
Speaker 2: Is Normandy, that's the one in near the poker room upstair, yes.

151
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: Okay, the first floor, and then Province is above it,

152
00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:29,519
and that both of them are in play at times.

153
00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:33,639
So they moved us from Normandy to Horseshoe and it

154
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,959
was so damn hot in horseshoe. I was dying. I

155
00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:37,439
mean it was only the end of the night. I

156
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,319
only had an hour left, but holy crap, it was

157
00:07:39,319 --> 00:07:41,959
like unbelievable. But that's how it is. All those bodies

158
00:07:41,959 --> 00:07:45,079
in there overnight build.

159
00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:47,439
Speaker 2: In the yellow section across from Paris, next to the pane,

160
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,000
the closet, the closet it when that is full, that

161
00:07:52,079 --> 00:07:54,000
thing is eighty five degrees in there.

162
00:07:54,199 --> 00:07:55,839
Speaker 1: Really, everyone complains that it's too cold.

163
00:07:55,879 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: No, no, but once it feels I look, I have

164
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,600
been constant request to bring the temperature down. So maybe

165
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,240
now it's at a normal level. But during that casino

166
00:08:05,279 --> 00:08:07,879
employees event on day one, I walked in there, I

167
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,040
was dripping in sweat.

168
00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:12,279
Speaker 1: I mean it should it should always be about sixty

169
00:08:12,279 --> 00:08:15,079
five degrees in this place for a couple of reasons. One,

170
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,959
people can always put clothes on. People can only take

171
00:08:17,959 --> 00:08:20,879
so many clothes off. Okay, that's number one. Number two,

172
00:08:21,519 --> 00:08:24,680
Once these poker players start sweating and become smelly, which

173
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,879
some of them are already smelly before they even start sweating,

174
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:30,759
it is a nightmare. Okay, So just keep it cool

175
00:08:30,759 --> 00:08:33,879
in here, keep everyone like they're basically, you know, a

176
00:08:33,879 --> 00:08:36,519
bunch of dead cows hanging in a freeze or something.

177
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 2: I think you're forgetting number three.

178
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: What's number three?

179
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,879
Speaker 2: Number three is if it's cold in here, you can

180
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,559
visit the Pokeaar shop, buy No Gammer in the Future

181
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,519
hoodie by a high Stakes Poco hoodie and feel warm

182
00:08:46,759 --> 00:08:48,480
and also represent pok Gar.

183
00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:51,799
Speaker 1: That's true. That is very true. That room, though, that

184
00:08:51,879 --> 00:08:54,360
other room, that that closet over there, they got really

185
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,480
going to fix that lighting. I mean, I like it's like,

186
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,480
I mean, the lighting is yellow. It's the yellow sections.

187
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,759
The lighting is very yellow, you know. But you know,

188
00:09:03,879 --> 00:09:06,679
I do like the new setup. You know, I prefer it.

189
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,639
We're over here. It's the nicer side. I definitely feel

190
00:09:09,639 --> 00:09:12,720
like it's cleaner air, all that sort of stuff. So

191
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,159
I like, it really got to get rid of that smoke.

192
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,360
The smoke in Horseshoe is just freaking wild. And I

193
00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:20,480
just can't believe that that's even still loud.

194
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 2: It's you just gotta move. That area's gonna move. It's

195
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,799
gotta be relocated where you where the high traffic doesn't

196
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,960
go through. I don't know where that is, but yeah,

197
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,559
you're right, it's it's not fun. You know, we're obviously

198
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:33,679
not smokers, so we hate it.

199
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,039
Speaker 1: But when you're in the Normandy Province section above the

200
00:09:37,639 --> 00:09:40,360
poker room, they now have the backway.

201
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,039
Speaker 2: Have you been? That's amazing?

202
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: That is that is a life changer?

203
00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:47,279
Speaker 2: Is everyone?

204
00:09:47,399 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: So like when we were on brakes in the monster

205
00:09:49,039 --> 00:09:52,320
stack and everyone's just like herding cattle down this Like

206
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,679
it's like literally a single file escalator and everyone goes

207
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,559
that way. I just cut it to the right. There's

208
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,360
like five people there. It goes, you walk all the

209
00:09:59,399 --> 00:10:02,200
way through and you come out by like right under

210
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,879
the Eiffel Tower inside Paris.

211
00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 2: It's great. It's so good about it.

212
00:10:06,759 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: It's so great. It's it's nice and clean. It's obviously

213
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,360
new because they just built it. Like that's the way

214
00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:14,799
to go. That is absolutely the way to go. It's

215
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,679
about the halfway point of the WSP at least events wise.

216
00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:22,159
What events are they on today? Forty eight? There are

217
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,039
one hundred events on the schedule, they're on forty eight.

218
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,960
So I got a couple of things for Tim here

219
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,600
that I want to get his thoughts on. First, overall impressions. Second,

220
00:10:32,879 --> 00:10:35,399
his three biggest stories. He can do whatever he wants

221
00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:37,159
with that. I know he loves his lists, he loves

222
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,600
all that sort of crack. I gotta get him to

223
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:42,559
update the PGT leaderboard. There's been a lot of LODTT

224
00:10:42,759 --> 00:10:45,000
qualifying events here at the World Series, but then also

225
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,240
the PGT Summer Series over at the studio has kicked

226
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,960
off as well. So first things first, just give me

227
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,679
your overall impressions. Right again, we are roughly the halfway point.

228
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,519
Speaker 2: I think the biggest thing is the new main stage,

229
00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:00,120
the new set, you know, obviously built by the in

230
00:11:00,159 --> 00:11:02,879
our team at Blueprint fifty two. I think a lot

231
00:11:02,879 --> 00:11:05,480
of people have just in alle when they see the

232
00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:07,799
size of it, the magnitude, you know, it spans the

233
00:11:07,799 --> 00:11:11,399
whole room, even for us that have seen behind the

234
00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:13,840
scenes of it getting built at the warehouse, just to

235
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,960
see it all lit up, you know, it was rare.

236
00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:21,320
Now it's in the Solano Teal, purple, Lana Solana, Salano,

237
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,200
Solana Solana colors, and those colors are grown on me.

238
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,639
I think that's the biggest thing to me that stands out,

239
00:11:28,799 --> 00:11:30,240
you know about the World Series, because you know, you

240
00:11:30,279 --> 00:11:31,919
kin't look at everything else. The events are the same,

241
00:11:32,039 --> 00:11:34,440
people the same, but this is the biggest new thing,

242
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,360
This grand set with five feature tables and just kind

243
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,960
of a massive spend by the Gigi Poker team to

244
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,120
to kind of put together what they want as the

245
00:11:46,159 --> 00:11:48,039
grand stage. And this is what we're going to see,

246
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,600
you know, ESPN and Omaha Productions doing the main event

247
00:11:50,639 --> 00:11:52,480
from this is what's going to be for the final

248
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,559
table over the Horseshoe in early August. And I love

249
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:57,240
everything about it.

250
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,039
Speaker 1: So that's all you got for impressions. Just the state.

251
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 2: To me, that's the thing that is the one, the

252
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,360
one messy thing like we can start talking about, you know,

253
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,080
if we want to go down the road of some negatives,

254
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,000
we can go that way. I feel like some of

255
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,200
the numbers are you know, I don't show how much

256
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,480
you've discussed on events growing or events declining, but.

257
00:12:19,919 --> 00:12:22,279
Speaker 1: I haven't really hit on it too much. I did

258
00:12:22,879 --> 00:12:26,559
good timing because on the last episode I did tease

259
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,960
that I'm working on the list thing. I have a list,

260
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,879
and then I'm also shout out to Jeff Walsh, friend

261
00:12:33,879 --> 00:12:35,559
and colleague brought.

262
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,159
Speaker 2: Him the other day.

263
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: Yep, he was here. He basically gave me the idea

264
00:12:39,519 --> 00:12:42,840
to look at the numbers up until a previous year

265
00:12:42,879 --> 00:12:45,559
that wasn't last year and then compare it to this year.

266
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,480
So I'm going to be doing that and then also

267
00:12:47,519 --> 00:12:50,919
this year. I mean, I think the majority of the

268
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,879
events are down. Yeah, but I mean whatever I mean, yeah,

269
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,240
whatever I guess I mean. But it's not, as I've

270
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,799
said many times, when I'm talking about the catastrophic it's

271
00:12:58,879 --> 00:13:01,799
it's not catastrophic one. But it's also not just ws

272
00:13:01,799 --> 00:13:05,399
A P it's other other events are down. And even

273
00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:09,000
if the other events aren't down, like missing guarantees, although

274
00:13:09,039 --> 00:13:12,679
some stuff has misguarantees, they're definitely not clearing guarantees like

275
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,559
they would like to, you know, like if people want

276
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,840
if people put one hundred K guarantee, they want two

277
00:13:16,919 --> 00:13:19,080
hundred ky in the Price School. So there's no sweat whatsoever.

278
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,200
It's more like you're doing one hundred K guarantee, you

279
00:13:21,279 --> 00:13:23,159
might get one hundred and eight k in the Price School,

280
00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:24,320
which is a sweat.

281
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,799
Speaker 2: The one thing I actually came into this not really

282
00:13:26,799 --> 00:13:28,639
liking was the change they made to the events like

283
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,399
the Monster Stack and the Colossus, where you played Day

284
00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:33,960
one A and the next day is day Day two

285
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,679
A and on that same day is Day one B.

286
00:13:37,799 --> 00:13:39,600
And they do these for the first four flights, and

287
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,639
you know, it kind of means that, look, you could

288
00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:44,559
potentially cash all four flights and then make the final

289
00:13:44,639 --> 00:13:47,600
Day three. But one thing I, you know, didn't really

290
00:13:47,639 --> 00:13:49,360
think about when I was kind of looking at this

291
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,799
of these events and kind of unsure or a little

292
00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:54,480
bit giving a little bit of a negative eye, was

293
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,519
that what it does save. It saves these massive day

294
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,759
two restarts we don't have anymore. We have basically an

295
00:14:01,799 --> 00:14:05,399
individualized flight restart, you know, two A, two B, two

296
00:14:05,399 --> 00:14:07,919
C two D, and then you combine for day three.

297
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,440
These day threes, they're not you know, multiple thousands of people.

298
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,639
They're now two hundred three hundred people, and instead of

299
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,320
on a Sunday, they're on a Monday. But it's also

300
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,039
you're a lot deeper in the money. So if you're

301
00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:22,440
thinking about taking work off, it's you have a bit

302
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,399
of a more reason to call in sick or use

303
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,919
one of those PTA do's. But yeah, instead of the

304
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,879
day two Sunday restarts that are many thousand, it's now

305
00:14:30,039 --> 00:14:32,200
a day three restart with just a couple hundred. And

306
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,919
I think that change is actually very good for the

307
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,399
everyday play, the every man, you know, the the guy

308
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,279
from South Dakota coming out. You know, he can get

309
00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:42,759
his value. He can play a few flights in the

310
00:14:42,799 --> 00:14:45,399
months that cash a few times, you know, instead of

311
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,879
you know, playing maybe playing one a bagging, not coming

312
00:14:47,919 --> 00:14:49,759
back for day two and doing all that stuff. So

313
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,399
big fan of that now that I've seen it in motion.

314
00:14:53,759 --> 00:14:56,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if I agree, but I also like,

315
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,919
I don't necessarily disagree. I'm just kind of indifferent on it.

316
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:05,360
I guess whatever whatever the masses want then just fair enough.

317
00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:08,639
I will say that I don't like the fact, and

318
00:15:08,679 --> 00:15:12,039
I've stood by this for many years, that any event

319
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,519
fifteen hundred dollars are under should be in the money

320
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,360
on day one. At the end of the day one,

321
00:15:17,879 --> 00:15:22,480
non rad, what are we playing four days and fifteen?

322
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,159
Speaker 2: You're gonna upset Mickey Doff with that comment.

323
00:15:27,399 --> 00:15:28,799
Speaker 1: No, I want to upset Mickey doopp. Do you want

324
00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:30,200
to know why I want to play Nicky Doff because

325
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,080
he's Micky No, because Mickey Doff shows up late to

326
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,679
day one of the rads, Because it's senseless to show

327
00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:38,679
up early for those early levels. It is absolutely pointless.

328
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,279
Speed everything up on day one and then give people

329
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,840
more play later on. The Cossus is a good example.

330
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,320
It was a travesty that the Cossus was not in

331
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,960
the money on day one. Okay for a five hundred

332
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,759
dollars buy it. Now, what you can do in a

333
00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:56,200
tournament like that is on day one for you know,

334
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,600
for anything that's sub one thousand dollars, just make the

335
00:15:58,639 --> 00:16:00,000
day ones twenty minute level.

336
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: Who cares twenty minutes?

337
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: But but you there are first of all, there's multiple

338
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,919
flights for you to a chance to get into the

339
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,639
money and continue on. Then when you make it to

340
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,440
day two, you go to thirty minute levels, so it's

341
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,240
a little bit better, which is basically that's the normal

342
00:16:13,279 --> 00:16:15,960
structure that it used to be in classes. Then on

343
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,919
day three forty minute levels, so it gets the structure

344
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,799
gets better as you go, which is what it should.

345
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,399
Speaker 2: I agree with that, I just twenty minutes is short.

346
00:16:24,519 --> 00:16:28,519
Speaker 1: Okay they call it a turbo here at the World

347
00:16:28,519 --> 00:16:30,840
Series of Poker when it's twenty minute levels, when at

348
00:16:30,879 --> 00:16:33,000
any other time in the world, a five hundred dollars

349
00:16:33,039 --> 00:16:36,080
termament has twenty minute levels. Sure, yeah, it's not. It's

350
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,519
not that bad. And I will also say that if

351
00:16:40,679 --> 00:16:45,399
you put a focus on the quality of dealers. Then

352
00:16:45,559 --> 00:16:48,480
you can lessen the time because you're gonna be able

353
00:16:48,519 --> 00:16:55,279
to get in more hands. Right. Yeah, I would even say, go, what,

354
00:16:55,279 --> 00:16:56,480
what's twenty five minutes?

355
00:16:56,639 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 2: Twenty five is slightly better?

356
00:16:57,919 --> 00:17:00,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, twenty five minutes, you know, But and then

357
00:17:00,559 --> 00:17:02,159
you get in the money. At the end of day one,

358
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,480
everyone's in the money. Then the structure starts to get

359
00:17:04,519 --> 00:17:07,880
better and better from there, because it's not just here

360
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,680
at the World Series Poker, it's everywhere that they have

361
00:17:09,759 --> 00:17:12,599
the idea of quote unquote deep stack backwards. They give

362
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,839
you a ton of chips to start, and then late

363
00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:18,279
it gets just a turbo right when it should be flipped.

364
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,160
So make it really fast on day one a turbo,

365
00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:24,000
you know, just basically people have to just spin to

366
00:17:24,039 --> 00:17:26,359
get into the money and then go from there and

367
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:27,839
make it a really good tournament afterwards.

368
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 2: I one hundred percent agree with you getting too the

369
00:17:29,759 --> 00:17:31,400
money on day one in no them and hold them,

370
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,920
I would, you know, when some of them makes so little.

371
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,920
So I don't think that's too much of an issue.

372
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,400
If you're making the money early on day two, I

373
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,000
don't see any reason why the classist needs to wait

374
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,119
until the third level on day two to make the

375
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,599
money because from an operator standpoint, get these guys in

376
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,599
the money, get them out of the tournament, and get

377
00:17:48,599 --> 00:17:50,480
them back in the next tournament. That should be the

378
00:17:50,519 --> 00:17:56,759
goal is increasing rake and increasing revenue and doing that,

379
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,960
we're not increasing rake. No, sorry, I didn't mean.

380
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: I know, I know, you miss it.

381
00:18:01,599 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 2: I misspoke. Yes, you're right, you're right. Let's definitely not.

382
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure I allow you to

383
00:18:05,759 --> 00:18:09,200
correct yourself before somebody clips this is like says, more

384
00:18:09,279 --> 00:18:09,880
rake is better.

385
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, put me on a billboard like Daniel did. No,

386
00:18:13,319 --> 00:18:17,240
not increasing the actual rank, but increasing the revenue because

387
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,200
we can get people firing more bullets, cashing firing more bullets,

388
00:18:20,559 --> 00:18:24,079
and you know, for WSP that means the entrants grow.

389
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,920
That's good for marketing. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

390
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,799
So yeah, definitely make that money on day one and

391
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,480
go from there. Yeah.

392
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: And I think as it just as it pertains to

393
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,640
the colossus, which is down to I think the final

394
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,240
three tables right now at time of recording. I think

395
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,480
people probably assume that they would have been in the

396
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:48,039
money because I don't It didn't explicitly say anything on

397
00:18:48,079 --> 00:18:50,759
the structure seet versus some of the tournaments that are

398
00:18:50,839 --> 00:18:54,039
in the money, or it's I think it's said payouts

399
00:18:54,079 --> 00:18:56,000
begin day two. I think it might have said.

400
00:18:55,799 --> 00:18:58,279
Speaker 2: That dist millions, though definitely says that.

401
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,839
Speaker 1: And if you look at like the Gladiators poker, that

402
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,640
says payouts begin day one, meaning end of day one,

403
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,640
you'll be in the money. Gladiator is a poker if

404
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,039
I remember correctly when I've played in the past, you're

405
00:19:09,039 --> 00:19:11,079
in the money on day one, and then you continue

406
00:19:11,079 --> 00:19:13,000
to play correct a little bit after that. It's not

407
00:19:13,079 --> 00:19:16,920
just like make the money in stock that toxtremet, well, okay,

408
00:19:17,319 --> 00:19:19,440
not for a three dollars buying tournament. I don't care

409
00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:20,720
like that. That's what that should be.

410
00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:21,319
Speaker 2: Now.

411
00:19:21,799 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: Split the difference for Colossus, it's it's, you know, a

412
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,559
little bit better structure, a little bit of a higher

413
00:19:26,599 --> 00:19:29,319
buy in, right, So maybe then it's just play down

414
00:19:29,319 --> 00:19:31,960
till twelve and a half percent of the field. That's

415
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,400
the money you end. And then you also get the

416
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,079
chance that on day two when people come back, you know,

417
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,880
they get to come back at a at a different

418
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,599
level or something, you know, like maybe one flight plays

419
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,559
a little bit later. One flight plays, you know, ends

420
00:19:43,559 --> 00:19:45,480
a little bit earlier, and then they can they can

421
00:19:45,519 --> 00:19:47,799
rewind that. That's what I would do there. I mean

422
00:19:47,839 --> 00:19:49,880
I would even say that. Listen. I know the Monster

423
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,440
Stack is structured the way that it is, but I

424
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,680
would be fine being in the money on day one

425
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,880
of the Monster Stack and then make the tournament after

426
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,799
that like super super long and drawn ou out. Like

427
00:20:00,839 --> 00:20:02,920
I have no problem with that. I think that that's

428
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,160
that's great. I mean, maybe that's just me personally, like

429
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,039
I'm just I'm not playing poker. I think I understand

430
00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:14,599
what's the motivation here is that you want to give

431
00:20:14,599 --> 00:20:17,480
people that buy into the lower buying stuff enough bang

432
00:20:17,519 --> 00:20:20,799
for their buck. So though they're left with some sort

433
00:20:20,799 --> 00:20:23,599
of positive experience, you know, they can when they come

434
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,559
out here and they fire the Colossus, they can then

435
00:20:25,599 --> 00:20:27,680
go back home and say, you know what, I got

436
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,920
to play for a whole day. I got to play

437
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,480
for ten twelve hours. You know, I wasn't just sitting

438
00:20:32,519 --> 00:20:34,960
down and like it was go time and whatever. I

439
00:20:35,079 --> 00:20:37,519
just I just I can't do it, man, Like I

440
00:20:37,599 --> 00:20:39,119
just can't. I can't do it, you know. And I

441
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,599
also I like to be their hand number one because

442
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,920
I like to be able to, you know, play against

443
00:20:44,079 --> 00:20:46,680
some lesser competition. Maybe someone will punt to you, maybe

444
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,960
it'll be a cooler or whatever. But so I like

445
00:20:50,039 --> 00:20:51,400
to be there early on and I don't like to

446
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,839
come in late, you know. But that said, I don't

447
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,519
think we need to be starting people three hundred big

448
00:20:56,519 --> 00:20:58,640
blinds deep in this tournament, these tournaments like, I think

449
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,400
you can start people fifty big blinds deep, and just

450
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,640
let's just go. Let's just get right down to it

451
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:08,119
and let's go three biggest stories. Give me a particularly

452
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,160
however you want to do it, and then just tell

453
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,799
me the story. I'll say what I want to say,

454
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,960
you know, maybe I'll agree, i'll disagree, whatever, and then

455
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,160
you can go on to your next story.

456
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:25,319
Speaker 2: Story number one is about the biggest ambassador in poker

457
00:21:25,599 --> 00:21:26,640
for twenty twenty six.

458
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: God, I can't I can can't even imagine where this

459
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:30,640
is going.

460
00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 2: My current favorite poker player. Oh my god, Martin Cabra, I.

461
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,759
Speaker 1: Knew you were going to say it is that because

462
00:21:38,759 --> 00:21:40,400
he just likes you. Now it seems like no.

463
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no no no. First of all, let's not

464
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:43,960
going down that road. He has yelled at me several

465
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,720
times about putting you on feature tables. Thankfully they didn't

466
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,720
make the blog because we got in a very big argument. Look,

467
00:21:50,599 --> 00:21:54,599
he's very polarizing. I think most poker players, he's the

468
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,519
definition of the most poker players do not like him.

469
00:21:57,599 --> 00:21:59,720
Last night he was running deep in the ten K

470
00:21:59,759 --> 00:22:02,599
two about midnight, and I was here watching him and

471
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,519
Zamani were getting into as the money was throwing several

472
00:22:05,559 --> 00:22:07,759
low blows at him that we would not repeat on

473
00:22:07,839 --> 00:22:12,640
this podcast. But the difference is the fans, they love him.

474
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,079
He's getting them to arms. They get him to do that.

475
00:22:16,519 --> 00:22:19,319
When he busted, they all left. When he's up at

476
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,079
the feature table, there is more people around him than

477
00:22:22,079 --> 00:22:26,519
anyone else we've seen. He's just he's like so polarizing

478
00:22:26,599 --> 00:22:30,160
positively to the fans. People are watching him. He's doing

479
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,480
his vlogs. I've met his editors. They're very nice guys.

480
00:22:34,599 --> 00:22:37,160
But you go on the other end and the poker plays.

481
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,119
I think Daniel grind Out of VOG today kind of

482
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,680
skipped through a little bit, but he's mentioned that, you know,

483
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,720
was the two hundred and fifty k numbers down wreck

484
00:22:45,759 --> 00:22:49,759
wise because of Martin Cabrell. Okay, come on, I'm not

485
00:22:49,839 --> 00:22:52,839
I'm not sorry. I'm just making a come on, that's

486
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,400
not no. You know we've seen it.

487
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: He did get into it with Martin. Yes, during the

488
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:57,720
two fifteen.

489
00:22:57,759 --> 00:22:59,759
Speaker 2: There's a lot of people that don't like his antics.

490
00:22:59,759 --> 00:23:02,119
There was the issue on uh In. I think it

491
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:03,799
was the hundred K with the R F I, D

492
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:08,160
and Sam several. He's obviously very loud, he's a bit

493
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,400
of a showman and that bothers the players. But like

494
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,079
I said, he's polarizing and that's I think, without doubt

495
00:23:14,319 --> 00:23:16,400
being the story of the world series because we have

496
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,440
when I say we, I'm talking about you know, the

497
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,440
production team have been highlighting him a lot. You know,

498
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,680
whether it was the heads up where these high roles,

499
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,240
he's been on a lot of feature tables.

500
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 1: Well, I think you first of all, let me just

501
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,240
say that I think you need to be careful saying

502
00:23:28,279 --> 00:23:30,720
we because we, as in poker, grow no longer to

503
00:23:30,839 --> 00:23:35,680
make those productions. Okay, so if they want to highlight him,

504
00:23:35,799 --> 00:23:38,720
that is solely at the discretion of the dobisipy.

505
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 2: Yes, that is that is that when I'm grouping myself

506
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:46,200
with those not basically I'm not saying and look, it's

507
00:23:46,599 --> 00:23:48,720
you know, it gets the clicks. Like I said, it

508
00:23:48,759 --> 00:23:51,319
has the people watching him. I think that's, without doubt

509
00:23:51,319 --> 00:23:53,920
to me, the number one sorry that he has gone from.

510
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,119
He's you know, he's always been like this, but I

511
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,400
feel like since WSP European proguets dialed up a bit.

512
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,920
Once he's out of vlogging, he comes here, he has

513
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,839
a little bit of success, and then obviously dusts up

514
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,759
two million dollars in the Hustle cash game. But very polarizing.

515
00:24:08,799 --> 00:24:10,839
To me, that's my kind of number one story, And

516
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,359
I think that maybe is a little biased because I've

517
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,799
been around it just so much. It's just always in

518
00:24:15,799 --> 00:24:22,000
my face. So yeah, that's my number one story.

519
00:24:24,759 --> 00:24:27,559
Speaker 1: On poker dot org, they had a story that was

520
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,680
based on Daniel Legrand, who's latest vlog, where he's said

521
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,359
in the vlog, I guess this is a quote from

522
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,920
the poker dot org article, is that he meaning Daniel,

523
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,079
would have banned him him meaning Cabrel, five years ago.

524
00:24:43,599 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 2: Now.

525
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're going to ban just yet,

526
00:24:47,759 --> 00:24:51,599
you know, I you know, but I think in terms

527
00:24:51,599 --> 00:24:56,039
of him being polarizing, of course, he's extremely polarizing. Are

528
00:24:56,079 --> 00:24:59,200
people sick? Of him, I would say the answer is

529
00:24:59,279 --> 00:25:03,680
yes and no. You know, I think the more that

530
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,400
you are ingrained within the poker community, so the more

531
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,039
of a diehard fan, you are, a player, all that

532
00:25:10,039 --> 00:25:13,920
sort of stuff, then the more you likely cannot stand

533
00:25:14,039 --> 00:25:18,920
Martin Cabrell. But if you're on the fringe of poker,

534
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,279
or you just happen to stumble across something on YouTube,

535
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,759
or you know, you click on a social media post

536
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,839
or whatever it may be, when it comes to attracting

537
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,720
those fringe people slash new viewers, this could very well

538
00:25:33,759 --> 00:25:38,440
be a necessary evil in terms of like getting people

539
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,440
interested in the game. Because listen, I'm not saying that

540
00:25:42,519 --> 00:25:45,519
I'm fully there yet in the fact that we need

541
00:25:45,559 --> 00:25:48,039
this necessary evil. I'm just saying that I can make

542
00:25:48,039 --> 00:25:52,680
the argument that it is a necessary evil because at

543
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,960
the end of the day, people all people they like

544
00:25:56,039 --> 00:26:00,480
watching shocking, over the top things that are a bit

545
00:26:00,559 --> 00:26:05,319
wild and crazy. You know, train wrecks, car accidents, people fighting,

546
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,559
you know, homeless guys fighting in the streets, stuff like,

547
00:26:07,559 --> 00:26:08,920
you know, all that crazy stuff that comes up on

548
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,119
social media that you just doomscroll forever. People like the

549
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,640
wild that they like the wacky, and Martin brings those

550
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,720
things to poker. Now, does he go over the line

551
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,839
with some of his stuff, Yes, I would say so.

552
00:26:21,079 --> 00:26:24,920
And that's that's where, you know, I think the tournament

553
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,839
staff needs to step in and say, listen, you can

554
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,079
do X, Y and Z, but you can only go

555
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,839
so far and when you start crossing lines, you know,

556
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,680
we got to kind of pull you back in. I

557
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,400
want to cite, you know something that I heard Justin

558
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,920
Saliba say during a studio series for the PGT. I

559
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:44,880
can't remember if it was the Poker Girl Cupper, if

560
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,319
it was US Poker Open, but it was earlier this

561
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:52,119
year where he was talking about how he sees like

562
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,240
all these cash games out there and the viewership that

563
00:26:54,279 --> 00:26:59,440
they get, and then he wonders why the viewership doesn't

564
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:05,160
meet that when it's these higher buying, ultra elite competition

565
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,160
final tables like we have in the studio for the PGT.

566
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,079
And basically the point that Justine League was making and

567
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:13,880
he was trying to talk to like his table, is

568
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,960
that he's basically saying, you know, we need to do

569
00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:19,000
a little bit more as players. We need to show

570
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,599
more personality, we need to be more colorful because people

571
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:27,640
don't want to watch boring stuff. Nick Wright said it

572
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,559
on the Bill Simmons podcasts, you know, a few weeks ago,

573
00:27:30,599 --> 00:27:32,240
and I think I talked about it here where it's

574
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,720
that the right and he was talking about basketball, but

575
00:27:35,839 --> 00:27:38,640
it does, you know, apply to poker as well. And

576
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,599
what he said about basketball in the NBA, because they

577
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,000
were talking about tanking and that sort of stuff, is

578
00:27:43,039 --> 00:27:46,839
that the right way to play isn't the most entertaining

579
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,880
way to play, you know, talking about load management, tanking,

580
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:54,000
all that sort of stuff. That's not the most entertaining stuff.

581
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,480
And in poker, it's not the most entertaining. To never

582
00:27:56,519 --> 00:27:59,000
say a word, to focus on just the math and

583
00:27:59,039 --> 00:28:01,720
try and win as much as possible. That is not entertaining.

584
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,000
But if you want people to watch your stuff and

585
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,279
watch you and and fall in love with the game,

586
00:28:07,319 --> 00:28:09,359
then maybe you need to break out of that shell

587
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,599
and be a little bit more entertaining, right And and

588
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,759
that's what Martin does, and that's why he is attractive

589
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,359
to people who are on the fringe and and want

590
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,279
to you know, get involved. I'm more someone who's on

591
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,480
the inside and and you know, a die hard, so

592
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,559
I don't necessarily care too much for it. I understand

593
00:28:28,599 --> 00:28:31,000
its place in poker. Yeah, I would say that he

594
00:28:31,079 --> 00:28:33,279
just needs to be told to tone it down a

595
00:28:33,319 --> 00:28:36,599
little bit, because I also do think at some point

596
00:28:37,079 --> 00:28:39,559
another player is gonna fly off the handle and probably

597
00:28:39,559 --> 00:28:43,279
just punch the guy. Like yes, Like but that's that's

598
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,279
like because he just pushes and pushes and pushes and pushes,

599
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,960
and he keeps pushing that line and and you know,

600
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,039
putting his foot over it, over it and over it, and

601
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,400
eventually like I don't know, I mean I thought Martin's

602
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,240
Money might do it last night, Like you know, at

603
00:28:57,279 --> 00:29:00,000
some point, somebody's just gonna lose their shit on him, yeah, right,

604
00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:01,880
and then he's just gonna be like, oh well whatever,

605
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,079
and it's like, dude, you kept provoking. This is like

606
00:29:04,119 --> 00:29:06,000
when I watch those videos that pop up on social

607
00:29:06,039 --> 00:29:08,119
media of the people that do those pranks and a

608
00:29:08,119 --> 00:29:10,640
home depot or a lost or whatever, and then like

609
00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:13,200
I root for those guys to get punched in the

610
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,480
face all the time, like it's outrageous, and then when

611
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,000
somebody does come at them, they're like, it's just a prank.

612
00:29:19,039 --> 00:29:21,680
It's just a prank, you're on video whatever, and it's like, yeah,

613
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,599
but you allowed like you pushed the person that far,

614
00:29:24,759 --> 00:29:27,759
you kept pushing the buttons, So it's annoying in that sense.

615
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:34,240
I also think that his antics allow the industry to

616
00:29:34,319 --> 00:29:37,039
be lazy, and what I mean by that is his

617
00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:40,640
antics lead to lazy coverage. And I would say that

618
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,880
Poker gro has been at fault of that same sort

619
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,319
of thing, and I have voiced my opinion on that

620
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:51,039
with our team many times. Is that yes, he's loud,

621
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,039
and he's wild, and he's doing crazy shit to get

622
00:29:54,039 --> 00:29:56,599
on camera and also to get under the skin of

623
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,839
his opponents because that gives him an advantage and all

624
00:29:58,839 --> 00:30:02,720
that sort of stuff. But that shouldn't just be the story.

625
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,640
That should be a small piece of the puzzle. Yes,

626
00:30:05,759 --> 00:30:07,400
you do need to show this sort of stuff, but

627
00:30:07,519 --> 00:30:10,599
every single post out there, every single live stream, every like,

628
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,599
it doesn't all need to be Martin Martin, Martin Martin,

629
00:30:13,039 --> 00:30:15,839
because you're missing everything else. You're missing all these other

630
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,160
cool stories that are happening. So like, we can't as

631
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,519
an industry just be lazy and just latch onto this stuff.

632
00:30:22,599 --> 00:30:24,599
It's also the same reason why, in the same light,

633
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,359
like we just can't latch onto let's say Daniel mcgrotney,

634
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,559
for example, Like you just can't latch onto him and

635
00:30:29,599 --> 00:30:32,400
like put him at every future table because at some

636
00:30:32,599 --> 00:30:35,519
like what if tomorrow Daniel mcgroney stopped playing poker, Like

637
00:30:35,559 --> 00:30:40,319
we have to find the next story exactly. So yeah,

638
00:30:40,319 --> 00:30:43,160
So that's where I'm at with this whole thing with Martin. So,

639
00:30:43,759 --> 00:30:48,880
I mean, I think he's probably a big story. I

640
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,240
don't know if I would put him in my top

641
00:30:50,319 --> 00:30:53,119
three like you, but you know that doesn't matter, Like

642
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,839
he's still a big story. And I know there's a

643
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,480
lot of resentment towards him. I know friend of the

644
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,359
pod David od b Baker's co instantly talking about how

645
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,799
he hates it and it's nonsense and it's not good

646
00:31:03,799 --> 00:31:06,920
for poker and all that sort of stuff. But I

647
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:07,279
don't know.

648
00:31:07,319 --> 00:31:07,559
Speaker 3: I I.

649
00:31:09,119 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: It's hard to ignore the numbers that you see and

650
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,519
the viewership that you see, and if people are ultimately

651
00:31:15,599 --> 00:31:18,039
drawn to poker because that's what they like to see,

652
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:24,079
then there is some positive argument for that. What's your

653
00:31:24,079 --> 00:31:24,480
next one?

654
00:31:25,359 --> 00:31:28,319
Speaker 2: My next story is a disappointing story, a sad story.

655
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:34,079
Uh oh, maybe a cursed story. Sean Dabe, where are you?

656
00:31:34,519 --> 00:31:36,319
I'm not gonna stop by saying I'll.

657
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: Tell you right now, I think he's in the ten

658
00:31:37,519 --> 00:31:38,720
k raz.

659
00:31:38,599 --> 00:31:41,279
Speaker 2: Ooh he's probably not catching that one.

660
00:31:41,599 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: Good time in as well, because I talked about him

661
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,319
on the last episode. I did a rundown of like

662
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,000
the the Legends and how they're doing Helmuth Ivy negron

663
00:31:50,079 --> 00:31:52,359
Eu and Deep because I think he's a wav legend. Yeah,

664
00:31:52,759 --> 00:31:54,240
and I was like, you know how they're doing, and

665
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,559
his summer not good.

666
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,279
Speaker 2: WSP Europe a few months ago fifteen Embracelet events, he

667
00:32:00,359 --> 00:32:03,960
cashed six times with two seconds. Well series, when you

668
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,400
say forty eight, with forty eight events into this world series,

669
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,000
he's got one cash.

670
00:32:09,039 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's indeed, that's not that's.

671
00:32:10,799 --> 00:32:14,519
Speaker 2: Not good, it's it's terrible. Now. Look it was a

672
00:32:14,559 --> 00:32:18,640
final table curt Us there, but like he can't find

673
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,279
him min cash in anything. Like he was front runner

674
00:32:22,519 --> 00:32:29,039
for POY he got overtaken by the Japanese wonder kid Naokihara.

675
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:34,480
And I believe I heard that with Alex Foxon's win,

676
00:32:35,279 --> 00:32:37,720
he may have overtaken. I don't know if it's been yet,

677
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:38,319
it was.

678
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,599
Speaker 1: I actually kind of yelled at Jeff Platt got it

679
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,640
earlier today about this because so it was Niaoa Kihara

680
00:32:45,759 --> 00:32:48,480
leading the way. Okay, indeed got knocked down to fourth.

681
00:32:49,119 --> 00:32:52,519
Then as a result of the fifteen RAS shout out

682
00:32:52,519 --> 00:32:57,680
to that tournament again heads up Dennis Weiss Sex first

683
00:32:57,799 --> 00:33:00,480
or second moved him in front of Kihara, I believe

684
00:33:00,519 --> 00:33:03,559
by my math. But then I saw today the wheelsas

685
00:33:03,599 --> 00:33:06,720
of Poker posted fox AND's winner photo and said that

686
00:33:06,799 --> 00:33:09,039
he had taken the lead. And I just pulled up

687
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:10,880
w SP dot com right now and it is still

688
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:11,799
key horror on top.

689
00:33:12,599 --> 00:33:15,279
Speaker 2: Update Jeff Platt, buddy fixed, let's go.

690
00:33:15,799 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: This should be this. It should be tied into the app,

691
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:24,480
so when the app updates, these leaderboards update right like

692
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:25,839
that should be very easy.

693
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 2: So look, Seawande, you know we are forty eight events

694
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,960
and you have done pretty much nothing. But like we

695
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,839
has fifty two more events, We have a plethora of

696
00:33:34,839 --> 00:33:37,519
online bracelet events. We obviously have paradise. He has a

697
00:33:38,319 --> 00:33:40,960
he's probably still the favorite to win Player of the Year.

698
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,119
You know, maybe maybe you might still give out to

699
00:33:43,119 --> 00:33:46,599
fox And. Actually, but he just needs to do something.

700
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,200
And you know what if Jeff Platt's going to play

701
00:33:49,319 --> 00:33:51,839
three hundred and fifty dollars to Dan Housen to curse

702
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,519
Sean Dave. I think, and as the leader of the

703
00:33:55,559 --> 00:33:58,799
Shawande fan club for twenty twenty six, we need to

704
00:33:59,039 --> 00:34:01,480
to do a go fund me to find some money

705
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:06,960
to now go to Dan Housen and on curse Seandeep.

706
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,480
I think that's all we need the knicks of one.

707
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,559
That's final. Let's move on. Let's now on curse Sean Deeb.

708
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,679
See if you can get that. See if you just

709
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,519
get a cash, See if you get one more cash.

710
00:34:17,639 --> 00:34:19,559
Then we'll work on a final table and then we'll

711
00:34:19,559 --> 00:34:20,559
work on another bracelet.

712
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 1: So if it is fox and number one vice number two,

713
00:34:25,639 --> 00:34:31,239
then it would be Kihara liberto Hunikin, Deeb Shulman like

714
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:36,199
in that order. Okay, I talked about this when Kihara

715
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:40,320
won his second bracelet. I find it hard for him

716
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,719
to be able to win POI because I'm not sure

717
00:34:44,079 --> 00:34:46,360
how much he's gonna be down in the Bahamas firing

718
00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:49,519
versus someone like Sean Deep is probably gonna be firing

719
00:34:49,519 --> 00:34:50,400
a lot of stuff to do.

720
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,679
Speaker 2: The Daily Deep Sacks count has been in the Daily

721
00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:54,079
Deep Sex.

722
00:34:54,159 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: Someone like a Chris Hunikin, I think will fire the

723
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,719
big stuff Yeah, someone like Nick Shulman I think will

724
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,400
fire the big stuff. Al fox And obviously will fire

725
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:02,039
the big stuff.

726
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 2: Now.

727
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: Dennis Weiss is an interesting one because he fires the

728
00:35:06,119 --> 00:35:09,360
huge plo stuff. Yeah, but he's been having success in

729
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,719
the low buy in Nicks games because that's like what

730
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,960
he likes to play now. So you know, he's someone

731
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,199
who I think could go to Paradise and do all

732
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,639
that sort of stuff justin Liberto probably fifty to fifty

733
00:35:19,679 --> 00:35:21,440
I don't know. I mean he can't play bigger, yes,

734
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,760
but how big, right? I mean, so much is going

735
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,880
to hinge on what happens at Paradise. When it comes

736
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:27,519
to Player of the Year.

737
00:35:27,599 --> 00:35:30,639
Speaker 2: You'd also throw I think christ and Foxon and Adrian

738
00:35:30,679 --> 00:35:32,639
Mitaeos in there. Yeah, sure, big win as the big

739
00:35:32,679 --> 00:35:36,159
high rollers. There's obviously big Bayans in Paradise. You know,

740
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,599
there's they. You know, Adrian doesn't play pay a little,

741
00:35:38,599 --> 00:35:40,360
but Christen does. I'm not sure if shoul dabble in

742
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,039
say the fifty k or the twenty five, but so

743
00:35:43,079 --> 00:35:47,039
they have a nice you know, start on poy and

744
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,719
with the bians that we've seen a Paradise in previous years.

745
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,920
You know, it just takes another, you know, big win

746
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,719
there where they can really get thrust at the top

747
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,159
along with you know, all the online stuff they play,

748
00:35:58,199 --> 00:36:00,199
all the smaller hold the stuff that's still left on.

749
00:36:00,159 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: The schedule, and you know, listen, Shan Deeve. Of course

750
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,559
there's fifty two events left yet to start. He could

751
00:36:07,559 --> 00:36:10,199
just rip off three bracelets for Suah. You know, it's

752
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,559
just been a shitty summer for him, of course, but

753
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,039
you know he's not out of it yet in terms

754
00:36:15,039 --> 00:36:18,159
of winning money or whatever. And if anyone's gonna grind it,

755
00:36:18,159 --> 00:36:21,559
it's gonna be Sean Deep. I personally would have paid

756
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,719
infinite money for him in fantasy, and I thought that

757
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,199
one hundred and thirty three dollars for Shonde was incredibly low.

758
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,559
And right now he ain't doing so hot. All right,

759
00:36:30,559 --> 00:36:32,000
what's your third story?

760
00:36:32,039 --> 00:36:33,760
Speaker 2: And if you turn more, but my third one is

761
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,400
just and look, maybe we talk about this every year,

762
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,239
but it just feels like so many big names of

763
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:43,360
winning bracelets this year. You know, we have both Foxins,

764
00:36:43,639 --> 00:36:46,159
you know, they knocked up a bracelet. You know, we

765
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,559
have Asa Mataios who who just won the two fifty,

766
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,519
two hundred and fifty K. And then you look at

767
00:36:52,559 --> 00:36:55,719
some of the smaller events. You're justin Loberto adding another bracelet.

768
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,679
You got Nick Schulman adding another bracelet. You have some

769
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,239
of these big names, you know, breaking through winning you know,

770
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,039
the third, fourth, fifth, sixth bracelet. You know Bryce Yucky,

771
00:37:05,079 --> 00:37:07,960
there's another one after Matre Rosy, and you mentioned Dennis Oh,

772
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,000
he's from from Germany. Got Nathan Gamble now winning his

773
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,679
third plow eight bracelet. That seems to be a record,

774
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,519
as Scott Clemens coming out from nowhere, and then obviously

775
00:37:16,679 --> 00:37:19,559
Uri winning his six. So all these big names, you know,

776
00:37:19,679 --> 00:37:22,679
adding more gold to their trophy case and just kind

777
00:37:22,679 --> 00:37:26,639
of stamping you know, their legacy a little a little harder,

778
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,360
you know, a little bit more. To me, that kind

779
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,960
of stands out in a way, just just seeing these

780
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,480
pros just just continuously kind of getting it done.

781
00:37:41,159 --> 00:37:44,159
Speaker 1: What's your other one? Bonus one? My bonus one is

782
00:37:44,679 --> 00:37:49,760
the streaming. Oh god, God, go ahead.

783
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 2: It's it's it's had its comments from the public, and

784
00:37:55,599 --> 00:37:57,679
i'd say, so, I don't know how much you've talked

785
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:58,119
about it.

786
00:37:58,519 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: I really haven't talked about it at all. I mean,

787
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,880
I'm sure plenty of people know. I'm sure you know

788
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,719
I probably have a bazillion opinions, but I've just chosen

789
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,079
not really voice them.

790
00:38:08,159 --> 00:38:11,519
Speaker 2: I this is the way I see they're doing. They're

791
00:38:11,519 --> 00:38:15,400
doing something different, They're attempting something different, and I think

792
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,079
for a lot of people it's a little bit of

793
00:38:17,079 --> 00:38:19,199
a shock because you know, we always talk about Poker

794
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,639
go the previous years, and you know, we we the

795
00:38:22,639 --> 00:38:25,000
first kind of change we did was that horseshoe table,

796
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,599
and we were able to do you know, some double streams,

797
00:38:27,599 --> 00:38:29,119
and we tried to do a lot of final tables,

798
00:38:29,119 --> 00:38:31,400
and then we slowly started adding in you know some

799
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:35,320
day too, some day too, coverage, you know these this

800
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,440
year it's something a little different, trying to tell a

801
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,519
story from events, kind of from start to finish. Uh,

802
00:38:42,519 --> 00:38:44,559
you know, a lot less final tables. But this is

803
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,119
they this is what kind of they think will work.

804
00:38:47,159 --> 00:38:49,079
This is their strategy, this is what they're testing. And

805
00:38:49,119 --> 00:38:50,800
the way I see it is that like, look, it's

806
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:51,840
a bit of a cut. It's a bit of a

807
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,960
shock to the viewers, right, but you know, you look

808
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,960
at something like if we were just keeping in poker,

809
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,239
they're big by nanny. When that came around, I was like,

810
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:01,519
what the hell is this Why come we all just

811
00:39:01,559 --> 00:39:04,320
any And then it kind of became the norm. You know,

812
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,719
there is a world where this is the norm in

813
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,719
a few years. This is how the WSP is broadcast.

814
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,360
We show these minim events. We have these crews, you know,

815
00:39:13,599 --> 00:39:15,480
all out in the field catching little bits of this,

816
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,360
and we we're adding it in and you know, obviously

817
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,599
the delays a little longer. But I think that's been

818
00:39:20,679 --> 00:39:23,519
quite a talking point from especially when I'm out there

819
00:39:23,559 --> 00:39:25,239
and I'm talking to players and say, hey, we're bringing

820
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,159
you up on table A and they're like, when is

821
00:39:27,199 --> 00:39:28,960
it going live? I'm like, you know, two and a

822
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,239
half hours. And then it kind of explaining to some

823
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,199
people like asking you know, they ask questions, how does

824
00:39:34,199 --> 00:39:35,719
it work? Like why is it we doing it this way?

825
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,320
You know, they're trying something. So I think that's been

826
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,000
like one of the talking points. But I think people

827
00:39:42,119 --> 00:39:45,039
just kind of need to understand that they're trying something.

828
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,320
You know, if it doesn't work, you know, we'll see

829
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,719
what happens next year. But it's been a bit of

830
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,920
an adjustment for you know, production team and also been

831
00:39:55,559 --> 00:39:58,119
a very big, you know, difference for the players, and

832
00:39:58,159 --> 00:40:01,159
obviously obviously the fans and viewers back Hume.

833
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm I don't really care to get

834
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,719
into it that much. Yeah, yeah, I just I know

835
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,000
it is a bit of some sticker shock to a

836
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:14,119
lot of people out there that said, I just I

837
00:40:14,119 --> 00:40:16,559
don't think that there's any reason to not change now

838
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,440
as opposed to wait till next year, like you can

839
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:23,320
literally change tomorrow, you know. So Yeah, and it's it's

840
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:27,079
not that I always want the coverage to just improve

841
00:40:27,119 --> 00:40:30,480
every single year, whether it's US doing it, WSP doing it,

842
00:40:30,639 --> 00:40:34,800
whoever's doing it, the coverage should always just level up, right, Yeah,

843
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,119
And you know, it just seems like the sentiment out

844
00:40:37,159 --> 00:40:41,400
there is that it hasn't improved. But then again, you

845
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,079
know the opposite side of that is that you really

846
00:40:44,119 --> 00:40:46,679
only see like the vocal one to two percent on

847
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,239
social media. You know, you don't see the common fan

848
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,199
or the regular Joe that maybe tuning in or that

849
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,360
maybe have stumbled upon it late night while they're browsing

850
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,639
around YouTube or whatever, so you don't know how that

851
00:40:57,679 --> 00:41:01,000
person feels. I would say that viewership has been pretty

852
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,280
good numbers wise, just from what you see on YouTube.

853
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,920
So so yeah, you know, it's not always like the

854
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,360
loudest people out there are are you know, always correct?

855
00:41:10,559 --> 00:41:13,519
So I mean we always got shipped for anything that

856
00:41:13,519 --> 00:41:15,239
we did, even if we thought that we were doing

857
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,480
it the right way. Now it's the ws A P

858
00:41:17,639 --> 00:41:19,480
that's in that boat that's getting dumped on by a

859
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,840
lot of people, and that's just you know, you're you're

860
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,719
probably never gonna please everyone, unfortunately, and that's that's just

861
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,840
unfortunately for our friend Jeff Platt, he just has to

862
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:27,960
take the absolute brunt of it.

863
00:41:28,039 --> 00:41:29,039
Speaker 2: He's the man of the people.

864
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:30,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is.

865
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 2: He is the people.

866
00:41:31,039 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: He is the man of the people. I still don't

867
00:41:32,519 --> 00:41:35,320
understand why the hell he's parking in the freaking parking

868
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,639
garage with the people when he can just park in

869
00:41:37,679 --> 00:41:38,000
the back.

870
00:41:38,159 --> 00:41:40,280
Speaker 2: It shows that he is a man of the people.

871
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,079
Speaker 1: You know that the people can also park in the back.

872
00:41:42,119 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 2: They can talk it exactly.

873
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:47,119
Speaker 1: So I mean, there's no reason why, you know, you

874
00:41:47,159 --> 00:41:49,760
guys can't park in the back or park somewhere else,

875
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,760
then figure that out. Giving updates to the PGT lead aboard.

876
00:41:53,639 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 2: Oh, a lot of a lot has been going on.

877
00:41:56,559 --> 00:42:01,000
We've seen a lot of winners. Let's about I guess

878
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:02,840
the people that were kind of already on.

879
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,079
Speaker 1: By the way, just real quickly, somebody put an AI

880
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,079
video out there. This is kind of timely because I

881
00:42:08,159 --> 00:42:11,679
was talking about it of Alex Foxen and Martin Cabrell

882
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,480
when they got into it at the Future table. But

883
00:42:13,559 --> 00:42:17,639
they aied Fox and beating. So that's that's making the

884
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,480
rounds right now on social media.

885
00:42:20,519 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 2: No, I guess you know. Let's let's let's start with Yuri.

886
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,559
He was the leader, the PGT leader board winner leader

887
00:42:26,599 --> 00:42:30,679
sorry after Super Higher Old Bowl Mixed Games. Obviously he

888
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,599
dropped back a little bit with Brock Wilson going on

889
00:42:32,639 --> 00:42:35,719
a little heater, but with you know, his big win,

890
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:37,639
he's back in the first. He got fourteen hundred and

891
00:42:37,679 --> 00:42:40,840
eighty four points four point eight million dollars in winnings

892
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,639
so far this season from five cash is pretty impressive.

893
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:49,159
Alex Foxen massive win yesterday or early this morning really

894
00:42:49,159 --> 00:42:52,000
in the ten case Super Turber Bounty. He's now in

895
00:42:52,039 --> 00:42:54,519
second place with twelve hundred and eighty points. He has

896
00:42:54,559 --> 00:42:59,039
five cashes this world series already. Kristen Fox and his

897
00:42:59,159 --> 00:43:04,760
wife one her sixth bracelet. Yep, she moved up to

898
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,280
at the time was second place, where she's currently fourth,

899
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,800
twelve hundred and fifty eight points. She's two cashes this

900
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,760
world series. Brock Wilson, though the leader heading into the

901
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,760
World series, done basically nothing.

902
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we talked about Sean Deep doing that. Yeah,

903
00:43:19,199 --> 00:43:21,440
brox Do, he was as hard as they come.

904
00:43:21,639 --> 00:43:24,079
Speaker 2: Well, he was also playing at the wind the other

905
00:43:24,119 --> 00:43:25,920
day in the thirty five hundred, so it's really his

906
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,760
fault from leaving the venue. So but he's in third,

907
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,679
and then a big mover, Sean Winter. He has accumulated

908
00:43:32,679 --> 00:43:35,119
eight hundred and twenty PGD points this world series. He's

909
00:43:35,119 --> 00:43:39,440
now fifth place. Brandon Wilson another guy that's that's done

910
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,599
pretty nice, pretty well so far. He's up into six.

911
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:44,880
And then we look, let's look at some you know,

912
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,599
some new blood. We got the Nasim Salem got eleven

913
00:43:47,679 --> 00:43:51,519
hundred points. That puts him, you know, inside the top ten.

914
00:43:51,639 --> 00:43:53,880
But you know, as we always talk about, there's certain

915
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,880
qualifications you need for the PGT Championship at the end

916
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,719
of the year. Three cashs one in the Shoudi. He's

917
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,639
only got one cash. Eleven hundred points is probably a

918
00:44:03,639 --> 00:44:06,960
good good probably get him in there. He's gonna get

919
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,559
two more cashes. One of them is in the studio.

920
00:44:09,199 --> 00:44:12,400
Another person that's in that similar position, Nathan Gamble. After

921
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,599
winning his third bracelet, he has seven hundred and sixty

922
00:44:14,639 --> 00:44:18,519
seven points, balding five cashes seven hundred and sixty four points.

923
00:44:18,559 --> 00:44:22,840
He finds himself well inside the top twenty. Some other

924
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,960
names that you know, will we see them in the

925
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:31,800
PGT Championship Niokahara, you know, Galen Hall, you know, Santos Savannah,

926
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,280
you know some of these guys, you know, are they

927
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:38,599
gonna capitalize on their World Series, you know, for the

928
00:44:38,679 --> 00:44:42,280
latter half of the PGT season and you know, find

929
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,239
those extra cashs, find that studio cash and try and

930
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,039
qualify for our end of season free roll.

931
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting. And there's still so much poker

932
00:44:51,679 --> 00:44:55,280
to be had. Many PGT qualifying events still to come

933
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,519
at the World Series, still eight PGT Summer Series events

934
00:44:59,519 --> 00:45:03,360
as well that are going to shake shake some things up, so,

935
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:05,039
you know, long summer ahead.

936
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 2: One name, you know, as you bring up the PGD Summer,

937
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,280
we're only two events in of tr We'll played two

938
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:14,039
fifteen K no limit holding events. One name I didn't

939
00:45:14,119 --> 00:45:18,480
mention was Asia Mataos. You know obviously doesn't live here

940
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,719
in Vegas. He has you know, he just won the

941
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,039
two fifty K so two World Series cashes. You know,

942
00:45:24,079 --> 00:45:25,599
we expect a few more out of him. He'll go

943
00:45:25,639 --> 00:45:29,599
to Paradise. But one he's got a third cash in

944
00:45:29,639 --> 00:45:33,559
the studio when he won PGT Summer Series number two,

945
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:38,719
one hundred and eighty k. So he's you know, he's qualified, right,

946
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,000
He's got these three cashes, one in the shoot. He's qualified.

947
00:45:41,039 --> 00:45:43,400
He now he just needs you know, maybe a few

948
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,000
more points to make sure he gets in and then

949
00:45:46,039 --> 00:45:48,199
see if he wants to venture down to Vegas in

950
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,639
most likely January. That was event two of the Summer Series.

951
00:45:51,639 --> 00:45:54,880
Event one, Galen Hall. You know, another guy didn't mention

952
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,800
he won one one hundred and eighty two thousand dollars

953
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,000
in his pocket. And yeah, two events so far. We've

954
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,320
got a couple five kplos coming up. And then you know,

955
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,599
the really big events for this series are going to

956
00:46:06,639 --> 00:46:09,760
be during the main event, the WSP Main event, over

957
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,719
those day ones. You know, these single day fifteen k's

958
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,480
are pretty popular amongst the players, and that's where you

959
00:46:16,519 --> 00:46:19,320
know there'll be a lot of a lot of international guys,

960
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,679
a lot of people kind of firing once they've bagged

961
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,480
the main event, and we'll see some a lot of

962
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,599
points for Graps early July.

963
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,559
Speaker 1: What do you think INSP main event numbers?

964
00:46:33,039 --> 00:46:33,599
Speaker 2: I should check.

965
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: I should check the old prediction market.

966
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,760
Speaker 2: I was. I've been up for a while and after

967
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,039
seeing some of these bigger ten k's right, we've got

968
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,079
you know, we have the Mystery Bounding coming up, so

969
00:46:45,079 --> 00:46:46,199
that would be a good sign. But we have the

970
00:46:46,199 --> 00:46:50,440
super Turbo Bownie. We've seen some other events just down

971
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,079
a little too much, and now I'm kind of I'm

972
00:46:53,159 --> 00:46:56,199
flip flopping a little bit. What does the prediction market

973
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:56,639
tell us?

974
00:46:57,559 --> 00:47:00,800
Speaker 1: It's pretty much all in on under thousand entries.

975
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's how I'm kind of feeling.

976
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, who knows. I mean a lot can

977
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,760
change between now and then, of course. Yeah, but but

978
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,760
we'll just time to get your temperature on that.

979
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,280
Speaker 2: You know, there's obviously a plethora of factors why the

980
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,760
numbers could be down. But I'm wondering is the World

981
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:18,360
Cup being.

982
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:23,199
Speaker 1: Here big enough of a factor in terms of just

983
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,119
getting people in here to play?

984
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, because look I spoke I was speaking with Anthony

985
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,800
Hugh today. He's going to Europe for three weeks, and

986
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:34,000
I'm like, what He's like, Yeah, ever since I turned

987
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:35,719
twenty one, I've been at the World Series of Poker

988
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,000
and I might as well go spend some time outside.

989
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:39,440
I'm like, it's the World Series of Poker. Of course

990
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:44,360
you should be here. Harvey Castro, I believe is because

991
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,800
this comes down to our World Cup of Vegas, you know,

992
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:51,800
squad developments. He's heading to see a World Cup match early,

993
00:47:52,039 --> 00:47:55,199
you know, early July, but then happened. All these international

994
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,840
guys are they you know what, I just want to

995
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,000
go follow the France team. I just want to follow

996
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,239
the Argentine team. I want to follow Germany. I want

997
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,599
to I want to go base myself in Houston and

998
00:48:04,679 --> 00:48:07,280
just you know, watch a bunch of games there. So

999
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,880
does actually the World Cup being here in America, you

1000
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,000
know kind of her I would have said, maybe it

1001
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,480
should help bring people here. They should go watch a

1002
00:48:15,519 --> 00:48:18,159
game and then come play. But you know, it's it's

1003
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,679
with when you pair it with some of these numbers

1004
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:24,960
being down, it's a little you know, maybe the unders,

1005
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:26,519
maybe the unders are going to come in.

1006
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: It does seem like for things that have been down,

1007
00:48:29,639 --> 00:48:32,719
it's been big field no limits stuff, and then stuff

1008
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:33,639
that's been big.

1009
00:48:33,559 --> 00:48:37,079
Speaker 2: By no limit. What do you mean big field because

1010
00:48:37,079 --> 00:48:39,320
big field is kind of up right, like the Colosses

1011
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:39,840
kind of things.

1012
00:48:40,599 --> 00:48:43,800
Speaker 1: Uh well, yeah, like the Colossal Well the classes is actually.

1013
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:44,079
Speaker 2: Down at hat.

1014
00:48:44,559 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, but things like like I think like the five

1015
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:49,840
K no limit to start, Yeah, I think the two

1016
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,440
k was down as well, stuff like that. You know,

1017
00:48:53,519 --> 00:48:55,480
I want to say the fifteen hundred dollars six max

1018
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,159
was down. I mean I have the sheet right here, Yeah,

1019
00:48:58,199 --> 00:49:01,079
fifteen hundred dollars six max was down as well. So

1020
00:49:01,159 --> 00:49:06,239
you know, anything that's just anything no limit basically is

1021
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,599
on the downturn versus you know, going up, whereas the

1022
00:49:10,639 --> 00:49:14,440
things that are up are you know, like the PLO stuff,

1023
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,639
the big O stuff like that seems to just be

1024
00:49:16,679 --> 00:49:20,440
absolutely freaking flying on fire, like to the point where

1025
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,840
like I mean, I don't know exactly how many like

1026
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,639
PLO slash Big O events are on the schedule this year,

1027
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:30,519
like percentage wise, but like it should may probably make

1028
00:49:30,599 --> 00:49:32,280
up twenty five percent of the schedule next year. Yeah,

1029
00:49:32,599 --> 00:49:34,280
the numbers, If the numbers are going to stay like this,

1030
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,480
I mean, the hell with it, Just go go all

1031
00:49:36,519 --> 00:49:39,280
in on BLO. I mean, create a freaking PLO Player

1032
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,159
of the Year. I mean, let's just go nuts, you know.

1033
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,360
You know, like this, this first six hundred dollar Nolan

1034
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,159
hold them Deep Stack had forty six hundred last year,

1035
00:49:48,639 --> 00:49:50,480
or sorry, forty six hundred this year. Last year was

1036
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,599
over six thousand. So like that, that sort of stuff

1037
00:49:52,679 --> 00:49:54,880
is just it's a big dip, right. I think the

1038
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:58,119
five hundred dollars Freeze Out got hammered pretty hard. Forty

1039
00:49:58,159 --> 00:50:00,639
one hundred this year over five thousand last year. So

1040
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,159
you know, if it's down, it's down on average of

1041
00:50:04,199 --> 00:50:06,599
about twenty percent. But then you got some other stuff

1042
00:50:06,599 --> 00:50:08,719
that's up. You know, this big O is up almost

1043
00:50:09,119 --> 00:50:12,360
is up over forty percent. The Dealer's Choice was up,

1044
00:50:12,599 --> 00:50:15,920
the fifteen hundred dollars no limit Deuces seven Single Draw

1045
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:20,400
was up. The fifteen hundred dollars PLO was up sixty

1046
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:21,079
five percent.

1047
00:50:21,559 --> 00:50:23,800
Speaker 2: Wasn't that a multifly that was multifying that one?

1048
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 1: Okay, fine, whatever.

1049
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:27,679
Speaker 2: Counts.

1050
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, but listen, I know, yes, Asterix, but I will

1051
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:34,199
also say that if it's able to support a multi

1052
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,079
flight and have that much growth, then it does speak

1053
00:50:37,119 --> 00:50:40,519
to how how popular PLO, right, you know, if you're

1054
00:50:40,559 --> 00:50:43,719
able to get a four figure field on both starting flights,

1055
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,679
like that's huge. Yeah, you know, so, you know, I

1056
00:50:46,679 --> 00:50:48,960
think the ras is up, the razz is up ten percent.

1057
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:52,159
People are just fucking coming out of the world work

1058
00:50:52,199 --> 00:50:54,960
to play fucking rats like this. This ten K big

1059
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:58,519
O Championship up thirteen years shit, like you know. So, yeah,

1060
00:50:59,079 --> 00:51:02,079
it's crazy, but that's you know, that's how it is.

1061
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,480
I think that sort of stuff just speaks to the

1062
00:51:06,599 --> 00:51:09,159
type of player that plays those tournaments. I would say

1063
00:51:09,159 --> 00:51:13,119
a person who plays a mixed tournament or maybe a

1064
00:51:13,119 --> 00:51:17,119
PLO tournament is probably a little bit more on the

1065
00:51:17,119 --> 00:51:21,280
wealthier side than a typical no limit holding player. But anyway,

1066
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:24,920
that's all I got for you. Anything else on that,

1067
00:51:25,119 --> 00:51:29,480
nuh huh on that stuff. No, No, just in general, Yes,

1068
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:30,440
what else?

1069
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:32,119
Speaker 2: I think we need to play some music?

1070
00:51:32,159 --> 00:51:35,199
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I dropped the ball. I talked about it.

1071
00:51:35,199 --> 00:51:38,000
I missed a family pot jingle, but you could.

1072
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:39,800
Speaker 2: Do every think we should start with community college. Okay,

1073
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,760
go ahead, community CODs jingle? Does Rich try and still editor?

1074
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,519
Speaker 1: Is he Rich and Rich grand does still edit? He

1075
00:51:45,639 --> 00:51:47,960
was staying with me for a few days. Shout out

1076
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:51,960
producer Rich he's going already. Yeah, I mean he didn't.

1077
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:53,920
He didn't make day two of the classes, so he said,

1078
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:55,480
you know what, I'm going back to see my family.

1079
00:51:55,599 --> 00:51:58,039
Speaker 2: Fair enough, all right, Rich, play the Community CODs music

1080
00:51:58,079 --> 00:51:58,440
right now.

1081
00:51:59,199 --> 00:52:02,800
Speaker 3: Tension Morning, good afternoon, and good evening to the poker

1082
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:06,199
radio audience near and far. It is now time for

1083
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,719
a brand spanking, spiffy and new shout out to some

1084
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,599
of our most loyal listeners who likely got a bit

1085
00:52:11,639 --> 00:52:14,679
too lucky on the way to the spotlight. You're listening

1086
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:17,119
to the number one poker show in the land, and

1087

Podcast Community Cards.

1089
00:52:22,639 --> 00:52:26,159
Speaker 2: I've seen a many poker podcast hats. Thank you guys

1090
00:52:26,199 --> 00:52:28,119
for wearing those. You know, we didn't have a hat

1091
00:52:28,119 --> 00:52:30,920
this year. Stuff didn't come together quick enough.

1092
00:52:32,039 --> 00:52:33,679
Speaker 1: Honestly, they're too freaking expensive.

1093
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 2: But that's that's herky and witchy. But look, thanks for

1094
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:39,840
wearing those. You know a lot of people with Assi's

1095
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,360
ur a new hat. Unfortunately, no, you know, we'll try

1096
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,880
and make it right next year. Pumped into many people.

1097
00:52:46,199 --> 00:52:48,800
Two I can remember, one is Blair, I believe, one

1098
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,280
is Brad, one I played with when I was in

1100
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, like Oregon.

1101
00:52:58,159 --> 00:53:02,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going there after this too. Football tournaments, you know. Okay,

1102
00:53:03,199 --> 00:53:05,199
but look, there's people that I mean, I'm assuming there's

1103
00:53:05,199 --> 00:53:07,400
people coming out to you to say hello. There's people

1104
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,800
coming out to me. You know, we appreciate every one

1105
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,000

was last year. But look back together for this episode.

1107
00:53:15,679 --> 00:53:17,320
Who knows how many we can get. Maybe the main

1108
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,000
event we kick it back up. You know, did some

1109
00:53:20,159 --> 00:53:23,719
daily stuff depending on how busy the ESPN work gets

1110
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:25,559
for me. But yeah, no, keep coming up to us,

1111

Speaker 1: Sweet what else you got? Family part?

Speaker 2: I don't really have a f Do you have anything?

1115
00:53:37,519 --> 00:53:40,559
Because my son's birthday today to get up early and I.

1116
00:53:40,599 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 1: Don't really have anything. No, everything's been pretty low key

1117
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:46,360
on the home front, which is a good thing.

1118
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,519
Speaker 2: You know. Have you spent more time at home this

1119
00:53:49,599 --> 00:53:52,639
World series and previous because of yes, Yeah, and as

1120
00:53:52,639 --> 00:53:53,760
that felt.

1121
00:53:53,599 --> 00:53:55,599
Speaker 1: Well one of the reasons that I have been opting

1122
00:53:55,679 --> 00:53:58,639
to go home and do the podcast. Yeah, staying here.

1123
00:53:59,039 --> 00:54:01,920
So you know that me at least an extra hour

1124
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:03,719
to two hours at home every night.

1125
00:54:04,599 --> 00:54:06,320
Speaker 2: But do you make it home while the kids are

1126
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:06,840
still awake?

1127
00:54:07,039 --> 00:54:10,639
Speaker 1: Oh hell no, No, They're usually in bed seven to

1128
00:54:10,679 --> 00:54:14,239
seven thirty. So I'm definitely not home Last night I did.

1129
00:54:14,519 --> 00:54:16,440
I didn't make it home. I think two times this

1130
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,440
summer I've made it home while they were still awake. Yeah, yeah,

1131
00:54:20,119 --> 00:54:21,280
but yeah, you know, it's just.

1132
00:54:23,199 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 2: Kind of well, kind of used they used to it

1133
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:25,280
as well.

1134
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, I mean, you know it's come come,

1135
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,320
you know, end of May. My wife knows she's basically

1136
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,360
a single mom for seven weeks or whatever it is.

1137
00:54:34,639 --> 00:54:36,360
But yeah, well, I mean we'll see how it goes.

1138
00:54:37,079 --> 00:54:40,480
Just part of the world we live in, man. Yeah,

1139
00:54:40,679 --> 00:54:42,559
all right, that's going to do it for you, sir.

1140
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,679
It was a pleasure as always. Maybe we'll get another

1141
00:54:46,159 --> 00:54:48,079
seven thirty pm end at some point.

1142
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:49,519
Speaker 2: I We'll try to sink a few more. And I

1143
00:54:49,519 --> 00:54:51,719
think we we owe it to the people. Just like

1144
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:53,760
Jeff is a man of the people, we need to

1145
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:55,480
be men for the podcast people.

1146
00:54:55,519 --> 00:54:57,599
Speaker 1: Definitely. And speaking of Jeff, I want to get him

1147
00:54:57,599 --> 00:55:00,679
back on at some point. I know I had him

1148
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:02,920
on already, you know, he he said, you know, he

1149
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:04,519
would happy to be happy to come back on again.

1150
00:55:04,559 --> 00:55:06,719
So maybe we'll get Jeff back on again. Maybe we'll

1151
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:10,079
get an update to the parking situation. Just kidding, Jeff, but.

1152
00:55:11,039 --> 00:55:12,800
Speaker 2: It's still the same. That's the up thing.

1153
00:55:14,119 --> 00:55:18,159
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, the parking doesn't work, okay, end of story.

1154
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:21,320
I have zero sympathy for anyone still parking there, Like,

1155
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,679
just find a different spot to park. You can park

1156
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:27,159
it I don't know Planet Hollywood. You can park it Blage.

1157
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 2: You would be quick at to park Apolage, and then.

1158
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: Just you could park walk through that nice casino, through

1159
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,920
the shops. You can stop at that Starbucks right before

1160
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,679
you get outside, you go right across the walkway and

1161
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:40,119
you're into the horseshoe like you get your steps in,

1162
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,519
good to go. You can park in the back. We

1163
00:55:42,599 --> 00:55:44,760
talked about that. Parking in the back is the same

1164
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,000
exact thing as parking in the garage. It's the only

1165
00:55:47,039 --> 00:55:49,000
difference is that you're going to be outside, so the

1166
00:55:49,039 --> 00:55:50,800
car might heat up a little bit, But just get

1167
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,079
one of those windshield screens and you'll be okay, to

1168
00:55:53,199 --> 00:55:55,840
be fine, okay, And you know, as far as I'm concerned.

1169
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:59,519
I haven't seen anyone get stuck in the back. Yeah,

1170
00:55:59,559 --> 00:56:02,280
So there, that's what I would do. I mean, heck,

1171
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,079
you can probably park at other places that I'm just

1172
00:56:05,199 --> 00:56:07,639
I don't know about across the streets somewhere. I have

1173
00:56:07,639 --> 00:56:10,400
no idea, who knows. That's what I would suggest to

1174
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:12,320
people who are just sick and tired of getting stuck

1175
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:15,440
in the parking crotch, you know, because especially when there's

1176
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:16,960
just thousands of people that are getting out of a

1177
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,079
poker tournament at the same time, I mean, stuff's just

1178
00:56:19,119 --> 00:56:22,159
gonna break down. That's just how it is. So go

1179
00:56:22,199 --> 00:56:25,960
another route, people, all right, pleasure having you Tim as

1180
00:56:26,039 --> 00:56:35,280
always so y, it was a pleasure to have Tim on.

1181
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:39,719
Of course, hopefully we get him. I'm gonna I'm gonna

1182
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:41,639
try and get him on once a week, That's what

1183
00:56:41,639 --> 00:56:43,440
I'm gonna go for. I'm gonna go for once a week.

1184
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:46,760
I'm gonna really press him to figure out his schedule,

1185
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,039
give up half hour to an hour of sleep or

1186
00:56:50,079 --> 00:56:52,760
whatever the heck he needs to do to make it happen.

1187
00:56:53,519 --> 00:56:55,199
But that's what that's what we're gonna try and do

1188
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:58,320
for the rest of the show. Here let's hit on

1189
00:56:58,639 --> 00:57:00,719

1201
00:57:42,079 --> 00:57:44,400
wins the two hundred and fifty k Super high Roller

1202
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:48,679
for a second time in his career. It is gold

1203
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:52,400
bracelet number six. Sorry, Matt Savage, I said gold in

1204
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:54,679
front of bracelet. I'll try and change that up if

1205
00:57:54,679 --> 00:57:59,119
it's really bothering you that much. But huge fist pump,

1206
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:02,880
which you don't often see from these high rollers. I

1207
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:06,000
don't think I've ever seen a reaction like that out

1208
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,440
of Mateos. But when that final rivercard hit and his

1209
00:58:09,599 --> 00:58:14,000
hand held against bryn Kenny. It was a Tiger Woods

1210
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:18,679
Kobe Bryant esque fist pump out of Mataos. You know,

1211
00:58:18,719 --> 00:58:22,519
he really shows how much winning means to him, how

1212
00:58:22,599 --> 00:58:23,360
much he cares.

1213
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 2: This guy.

1214
00:58:24,639 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 1: I mean, this kid is only thirty one years old.

1215
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:31,159
He's got more than sixty seven million dollars in live

1216
00:58:31,199 --> 00:58:34,599
tournament earnings. He's now moved up to fifth on poker's

1217
00:58:34,639 --> 00:58:39,079
all time money list. He's had an outrageous two months

1218
00:58:39,239 --> 00:58:42,400
of a run. Here he won the Triton Montenegro two

1219
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:46,679
hundred K Invitational for six point three seven million in May,

1220
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:50,119
and now here he is at the World Series of Poker,

1221
00:58:50,519 --> 00:58:52,719
winning the biggest buy in of the summer, the two

1222
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:55,519
hundred and fifty K Super high Roller for four point

1223
00:58:55,639 --> 00:59:01,360
three three million dollars. Mateos defeated a super tough final table,

1224
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:04,840
obviously a super tough event. Brin Kenny finished in second place.

1225
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:08,559
Brin Kenny, Poker's all time money leader, had a chance

1226
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:13,400
to get another giant win on his resume. Ultimately came second,

1227
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:17,239
but did push closer to ninety million dollars in live

1228
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:24,320
tournament earnings. David Einhorn the recreational player. The businessman, finance

1229
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:26,840
man out of New York was out here playing again.

1230
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:29,679
Believe he was playing for a charity, as he always does.

1231
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:32,039
He finished in third place for more than one point

1232
00:59:32,079 --> 00:59:36,599
eight million dollars. Seawan Winter another close call for mister Winter,

1233
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:40,800
but that first goal bracelet does elude him. Still one

1234
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:43,039
point three million for him. Jason Kuhn was in the

1235
00:59:43,039 --> 00:59:46,719
mix once again. We talked before about how this tournament

1236
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,440
is Jason Kuhn's white whale. It's the one he chases

1237
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:52,079
the most. It's the one he wants to win. But

1238
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:54,880
if he fell in fifth place for just shy of

1239
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:58,000
a million dollars, Samuel Mueller in sixth place for seven

1240
00:59:58,079 --> 01:00:00,559
hundred and sixty k, Brandon Wilson in seven for six

1241
01:00:00,639 --> 01:00:04,440
hundred and thirty thousand, phil Ivy ran Jacks into queens.

1242
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,480
I believe it was Bryn Kenny who had the queens.

1243
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:09,320
He fell in eighth place for five hundred and fifty

1244
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:12,960
three thousand, and then Texas Mike in ninth place for

1245
01:00:13,079 --> 01:00:18,760
five hundred and eighteen K. Mataos now with six bracelets.

1246
01:00:19,159 --> 01:00:22,039
His first one came back in twenty thirteen, and it

1247
01:00:22,079 --> 01:00:25,000
came over in Europe when he won the ten k

1248
01:00:25,679 --> 01:00:31,360
WASIP Europe Main Event for one million euros. In twenty sixteen,

1249
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:35,559
he won the fifteen hundred dollars Summer Solstice Event remember

1250
01:00:35,599 --> 01:00:40,599
that event for four hundred and nine thousand dollars. Twenty seventeen,

1251
01:00:41,039 --> 01:00:44,280
he won the ten k Heads Up Championship for three

1252
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:47,880
hundred and thirty five thousand dollars. Twenty twenty one, that's

1253
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:49,599
when he won the two hundred and fifty K Super

1254
01:00:49,679 --> 01:00:52,320
high Roller for the first time in his career. Three

1255
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,880
point twenty sixty five million was the score there. Last

1256
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:59,079
year he won an online event. He won the thirty

1257
01:00:59,119 --> 01:01:03,519
two hundred dollars high Roller Online for two hundred and

1258
01:01:03,599 --> 01:01:08,039
fifty three thousand dollars. So that wraps up the two

1259
01:01:08,119 --> 01:01:11,199
hundred and fifty K Super high Roller, as mentioned, the

1260
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:15,360
largest buy in poker tournament on the schedule each summer.

1261
01:01:15,639 --> 01:01:17,760
I'm starting to think they could go a little bit higher.

1262
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,599
I'm starting to think they could push five hundred k,

1263
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:24,239
like slap a five hundred k out there, do that

1264
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:27,280
once a year. I think it could happen. I think

1265
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:29,719
pretty much all the fifty six entries that you get

1266
01:01:29,719 --> 01:01:33,039
in here would fire into a five hundred K, you know,

1267
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:37,199
I think you're getting forty entries for sure, And that's

1268
01:01:37,239 --> 01:01:39,840
one of those things where like the higher the buy in,

1269
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:43,440
maybe then you get some like ultra ultra rich guys,

1270
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:47,400
the ultra big cash game players dive in something like that.

1271
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:49,519
I don't know, maybe you attract, you know, a little

1272
01:01:49,559 --> 01:01:52,280
bit of a different player type than than you do

1273
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:54,480
when it comes to the two hundred and fifty k

1274
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:59,119
Super high Roller. But nevertheless, still a great tournament, super

1275
01:01:59,239 --> 01:02:02,199
high level play, and it's good to see Adrian Matteos

1276
01:02:02,639 --> 01:02:06,599
get the win once again. The biggest crowd pop of

1277
01:02:06,639 --> 01:02:12,199
the summer goes to the supporters of Juan Rodriguez. He

1278
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:16,119
won the Seniors high Roller, five K buy in in

1279
01:02:16,159 --> 01:02:20,519
that Senior's high Roller, his first bracelet and six hundred

1280
01:02:20,559 --> 01:02:23,639
and seventy three thousand dollars. He topped a field of

1281
01:02:23,639 --> 01:02:27,199
eight hundred and forty four entries. His Rael called for

1282
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:27,760
a king.

1283
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:29,119
Speaker 2: It was he.

1284
01:02:29,199 --> 01:02:32,960
Speaker 1: I believe he had King eight versus Ace three. Maybe

1285
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:35,360
on the final hand, but is Rail called for a

1286
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:38,920
king on the river? A king it was, and holy

1287
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:44,239
hell did they erupt. It was an absolute incredible pop.

1288
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:46,960
One of those pops that you love to see every

1289
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:50,079
single summer. I was behind the big wall in our

1290
01:02:50,159 --> 01:02:53,719
little media space, heard the pop out there, went running

1291
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:55,960
out there. At first I was like, wait, did like,

1292
01:02:56,159 --> 01:02:59,039
did that come from the Mateos versus Kenny heads upmatch,

1293
01:02:59,079 --> 01:03:01,800
because at the time they were heads up in the

1294
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:04,199
two hundred fifty k Super high Roller. But no, this

1295
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:10,000
was all for one Rodriguez over in the seniors high Roller.

1296
01:03:10,039 --> 01:03:15,320
At an adjacent feature table after Rodriguez one, he told Polkernews,

1297
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:17,360
he said, I used to play more for fun and

1298
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:20,679
I wanted to collect rings and wins, but now I'm

1299
01:03:20,679 --> 01:03:23,519
playing for my beautiful son Max so that he can

1300
01:03:23,599 --> 01:03:27,840
have a future. That was going through my mind all day. Well,

1301
01:03:28,039 --> 01:03:30,159
Max is going to have a bit more of a

1302
01:03:30,159 --> 01:03:33,639
brighter future here thanks to six hundred and seventy three

1303
01:03:33,679 --> 01:03:38,599
thousand dollars in the bank for Rodriguez. I mentioned Chad

1304
01:03:38,639 --> 01:03:42,159
Lipton had that deep run in the ten K Chigi Millions.

1305
01:03:42,199 --> 01:03:45,280
Here he finishes in fourth place for two hundred and

1306
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:51,880
twenty three thousand dollars. Rodriguez beat Naraman yag Mai from

1307
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:55,199
Iran in second place for four hundred and forty eight thousand,

1308
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:59,400
Chinglu in third place. She took home three hundred and

1309
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:02,960
fourteen thousand. I mentioned Chad Lipton, Mark Rivera out of

1310
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,360
the Philippines fifth place for one hundred and sixty one K,

1311
01:04:06,159 --> 01:04:08,960
Hari Kleiper sixth place for one hundred and eighteen K,

1312
01:04:09,119 --> 01:04:11,440
Kenneth Kim in seventh for eighty a K, and Luke

1313
01:04:11,559 --> 01:04:16,239
Graham finished in eighth place for sixty seven thousand dollars.

1314
01:04:16,239 --> 01:04:20,360
These seniors events, they always produce really really big fields.

1315
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:22,440
I mentioned the eight hundred and forty four entries in

1316
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:25,760
this one. We are starting to get into the one

1317
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:30,599
K seniors event. That one is always absolutely slammed from

1318
01:04:30,679 --> 01:04:34,599
wall to wall across horseshoe in Paris, so I expect

1319
01:04:34,599 --> 01:04:36,480
a big field for that one as it goes over

1320
01:04:36,519 --> 01:04:39,679
these next couple of days. The eight hundred dollars deep

1321
01:04:39,719 --> 01:04:44,400
stack also found a winner on Monday. Matthew Moss out

1322
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:48,800
of the UK, defeated Darryl Ronconi in second place, Moss

1323
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:52,320
taking home his first bracelet three hundred and eighteen thousan

1324
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:55,679
five hundred and fifty six dollars for him. Ron Coney

1325
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:58,360
taking home two hundred and twelve thousand dollars for his

1326
01:04:58,639 --> 01:05:02,400
second place finished Saloon Al Harr taking third place for

1327
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:06,159
one hundred and fifty five k. Cheang jian Yang fourth

1328
01:05:06,159 --> 01:05:10,440
place for one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars. These players

1329
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:16,199
came from a field of three thousand, nine hundred and

1330
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:19,440
three entries. Again it was Moss Matthew Moss out of

1331
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:23,159
the UK, topping the mall for his first bracelet in

1332
01:05:23,239 --> 01:05:27,559
three hundred and eighteen thousand dollars. Two events are down

1333
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:31,159
to the final day. Let's go in order of buying.

1334
01:05:31,239 --> 01:05:34,079
We'll go with the ten K Big O first. They

1335
01:05:34,079 --> 01:05:36,760
are down to the final four players. There was some

1336
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:40,199
question whether or not this would finish today, but the

1337
01:05:40,239 --> 01:05:42,639
players did opt to bag it up but leave the structure.

1338
01:05:42,719 --> 01:05:44,960
She does say this is a four day event, so

1339
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:47,079
they got down to four. I think they played a

1340
01:05:47,119 --> 01:05:49,800
little bit longer than Ultimately they decided to put the

1341
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:53,360
chips in the bag and then they'll come back on Tuesday.

1342
01:05:54,119 --> 01:05:59,159
Daniel Aharoni leads the way with eighty seven big blinds.

1343
01:05:59,239 --> 01:06:02,679
You got Bruno Firth is in the mix, Aaron Coopen

1344
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:06,599
is in the mix. Doug Losurie is also in the mix.

1345
01:06:06,639 --> 01:06:09,880
Those three players. Firth has thirty one big linds Coopin's

1346
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:12,440
got thirty six, Losurie's got thirty, so they're all kind

1347
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:18,239
of bunched together in basically in second place to a

1348
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:22,320
Haroni huge first place prize. In this one, there was

1349
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:26,280
almost sorry over four hundred and fifty entries in the field,

1350
01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:28,960
four hundred and fifty six to be exact, eight hundred

1351
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:31,960
and sixty one one thousand dollars up top. The final

1352
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:35,519
four players are guaranteed two hundred and seventy six thousand dollars.

1353
01:06:35,559 --> 01:06:39,320
Nick Shulman had another deep run here the Goat, Shulman

1354
01:06:39,679 --> 01:06:42,440
finishing in fifth place, taking home one hundred and ninety

1355
01:06:42,519 --> 01:06:46,239
seven thousand dollars. Sean Troja got six, Sam Soverall got seventh,

1356
01:06:46,519 --> 01:06:50,880
Scott Clemens took eighth, got David Benjamin in tenth. You

1357
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:54,960
got Mike Mattisow in fourteenth, Victor Blaum in sixteenth. So

1358
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:59,239
pretty packed and stacked field in this ten K big

1359
01:06:59,239 --> 01:07:01,880
O nice turnout a four hun and fifty six entries,

1360
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:03,719
but we're gonna have to wait for that one to

1361
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:07,960
finish out on Tuesday. Then in the Colossus, the sixteen

1362
01:07:08,159 --> 01:07:14,719
thousand plus entry field Colossus, you got u Fan Wang

1363
01:07:15,079 --> 01:07:17,880
leading the way, I mean, just listen to this chip stack.

1364
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:21,519
One hundred and seventy five million, just like saying that

1365
01:07:21,639 --> 01:07:24,400
number is so crazy. Of course it's it's nuts, because

1366
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:26,119
you know, everyone starts with whatever the heck they start

1367
01:07:26,159 --> 01:07:29,280
with maybe fifty k in this tournament, I forget sixteen

1368
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:33,079
thousand something entries, so of course it's gonna build that.

1369
01:07:33,159 --> 01:07:35,599
But still saying that the chip leaders got one hundred

1370
01:07:35,599 --> 01:07:39,199
and seventy five million is just a freaking wild number,

1371
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:44,840
absolutely wild number. Most notable player here Eric Baldwin, a

1372
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:47,880
two time w Spigo Brace winner. He is in the mix.

1373
01:07:48,679 --> 01:07:52,079
Arguably nobody loves it more than baseball that he is

1374
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:56,039
six out of nine per the chip counts. So he

1375
01:07:56,239 --> 01:07:59,719
is going for the five hundred and fifty thousand dollars

1376
01:07:59,719 --> 01:08:03,480
first place prize the final. The nine players here are

1377
01:08:03,519 --> 01:08:07,239
guaranteed a little bit over sixty thousand dollars.

1378
01:08:07,639 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 3: Oh.

1379
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:09,440
Speaker 1: Speaking of proker News, I was supposed to go on

1380
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:12,800
the Poker News podcast on Monday evening. One of their hosts,

1381
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:17,039
Chad Holloway. Shout out Chad Holloway, bircher, Chad, No chop Chad.

1382
01:08:17,199 --> 01:08:20,960
He got stuck on a plane coming back. I was

1383
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:22,680
scrolling a lot of social media today, and there was

1384
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:26,880
a lot of like plane cancel cancelations and delays and

1385
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:28,880
all this sort of stuff. So Chad's all caught up

1386
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:31,279
in that mix. So rain check on the on me

1387
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:34,800
joining the pan pod. But we'll make it happen eventually.

1388
01:08:36,399 --> 01:08:38,439
Back to the Colossus. Nine players in May, and they

1389
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:41,720
are guaranteed sixty thousand dollars. Eric Baldwin is still in

1390
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:46,079
u Fan Wang is the chip leader. The only player

1391
01:08:46,159 --> 01:08:49,239
who has a bracelet is Eric Baldwin and he's got two,

1392
01:08:49,279 --> 01:08:51,880
so he's going for number three in this one. That

1393
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:54,880
one's also going to play out on Tuesday. I hope

1394
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:57,279
they stream this final table. I've noided what the streaming

1395
01:08:57,279 --> 01:08:59,640
plan is for Tuesday, but I hope they stream the

1396
01:09:00,359 --> 01:09:03,560
final table just because like these these smaller buy in,

1397
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:09,279
massive shout out massive field poker tournaments, like that's just

1398
01:09:11,159 --> 01:09:15,840
that's where it's at for like the WSP excitement, You're

1399
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:18,760
probably gonna see some wacky plays. I'm sure the stacks

1400
01:09:19,159 --> 01:09:21,760
aren't overly deep here at the final table. I mean

1401
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:26,239
they're probably fine. Let me see, chip leaders got fifty

1402
01:09:26,279 --> 01:09:29,159
eight big linds. Looks like the average stack is around

1403
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:33,600
twenty five to thirty or so. Shortest stacks got nine

1404
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:36,039
and a half. You got one, two, three, four players

1405
01:09:36,199 --> 01:09:40,239
sub twenty five players if you include Miles Jerman, who's

1406
01:09:40,279 --> 01:09:43,319
got exactly twenty big Linds. Other than that, you know,

1407
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:46,840
not too much to report on. We had the ten

1408
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:52,039
k Raz kicked off. I mean, this is just unbelievable

1409
01:09:52,039 --> 01:09:54,119
how well this guy plays ras Calvin Anderson. I mean,

1410
01:09:54,159 --> 01:09:56,039
every time I look at a RAZ tournament and Calvin

1411
01:09:56,079 --> 01:09:58,439
Anderson is in there, he's just absolutely crushing the damn thing.

1412
01:09:59,159 --> 01:10:00,760
He looks to be the chip leader from day one.

1413
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:03,439
You got the twenty five k high roller plo kicked

1414
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:06,520
off wild hand. By the way, that happened towards the

1415
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:08,960
end of the night in this tournament, so it looks

1416
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:12,119
like Yanni you can mine in fresh off his marriage.

1417
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:17,000
Congratulations to Yoni is the chip leader. He busted four

1418
01:10:17,039 --> 01:10:20,079
players in one hand at the end of the night.

1419
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:22,880
He made a wheel with six five, five to three

1420
01:10:23,159 --> 01:10:26,920
to eliminate Daniel Mgrandu, Carrie Katz, Sean Rafael, and Yang

1421
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:29,840
Wang all in the same hand. It was reported on

1422
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:32,319
by Poker News they got all the money in pre

1423
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:35,640
flop somehow and Yoni Yokuminin's six five to five to

1424
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:38,479
three made the wheel on the turn. He held from

1425
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:42,199
there to KO four players. Not sure I've ever seen

1426
01:10:42,239 --> 01:10:45,920
that before. That's pretty freaking wild. You have the twenty

1427
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:49,520
five hundred dollars mixed Omaha High Low slash Stud High

1428
01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:53,199
Low is playing down there throughout the final few tables.

1429
01:10:53,239 --> 01:10:57,560
I believe that one's schedule to finish on Tuesday. And yeah,

1430
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:00,239
that's pretty much it. As I said earlier, it was

1431
01:11:00,279 --> 01:11:02,199
a pleasure to get tim on. Hopefully we'll try and

1432
01:11:02,239 --> 01:11:05,159
do something like that once a week, but that's gonna

1433
01:11:05,199 --> 01:11:07,720
do it for the pod. Appreciate you guys as always

1434
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:09,479
for listening. I got to run because I think my

1435
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:11,960
dog has just put the trash all over the kitchen

1436
01:11:12,119 --> 01:11:14,159
and I gotta go figure that out. So my name

1437
01:11:14,199 --> 01:11:16,239
is Donny Peters and I will catch you guys on

1438
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:17,199
the next month.

1439
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:27,199
Speaker 2: Jenny Express
