All right, First things first, goll Ye 66 00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:33,919 Frock wins the NAPT Las Vegas main event. Now, this 67 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,800 was not a PGT qualifying event. I don't know how 68 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,280 many questions you feeled about that, but I think I 69 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,560 feel two dozen you know what? Or you know is 70 00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:46,479 this PGT qualifying? Why isn't it PGT qualifying? All that 71 00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:49,879 sort of stuff. Anyway, the Frock gets his largest live 72 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,000 tournament score. He wins five hundred and forty three thousand dollars. 73 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,120 Now he did make a deal with Thomas Boyven heads up, 74 00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:00,240 they chopped it I think even, and left some need 75 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,360 to play for Boyven had a large chip lead throughout 76 00:04:04,719 --> 00:04:08,120 much of the final table, the large majority of it. 77 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,560 It was interesting because I was watching the stream and 78 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,280 Boyvin he took a large chip lead into the final table, 79 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,480 and then I think when he got down to three handed, 80 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,199 it was Boyvin e Frock and then Jen Shahati and 81 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,360 Boyven asked to look at the numbers, which I thought 82 00:04:23,399 --> 00:04:25,639 was interesting because he had such a big lead, Like 83 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,639 why would you why wouldn't you just play for it? All. 84 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,639 It was a kind of a combination of Shahati and 85 00:04:30,959 --> 00:04:33,680 e Frock when Boyven wanted to kind of negotiate better 86 00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:37,560 terms for him because he believed he I have this correctly, 87 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,600 if my memory serves me, kucy that he wanted a 88 00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:42,199 little bit more than ICM because of his chip stack 89 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,680 and everything. But Shahati was like, you know, let's just 90 00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:46,639 let's just play for it, you know, let's just play. 91 00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:49,439 So anyway, they end up playing for it. Jen Shahati 92 00:04:49,519 --> 00:04:51,480 goes out third, then there's a deal struck between e 93 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,199 Frock and Boyvin. E Frok ends up coming back taking 94 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,600 it all down. So it was e Froc on top, 95 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,839 five hundred and forty three thousand dollars, boy then second, 96 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,120 five hundred and eighteen k Shahati third, two hundred ninety 97 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,680 one thousand. Ekram Boskirt fourth satellite winner into the event 98 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,199 and then went on to finish fourth. Ekram is a 99 00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:14,519 regular player around Las Vegas, made a final table or 100 00:05:14,519 --> 00:05:17,079 two at Venetian that we streamed as part of Venetian 101 00:05:17,079 --> 00:05:19,759 Poker Live and also Poker gro He took home two 102 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,480 hundred and twenty four thousand dollars. Michael Burke PGC regular 103 00:05:22,519 --> 00:05:26,240 fifth place, Peter Muger sixth place, one hundred and thirty 104 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,319 two thousand for him, Burke got one seventy two, Abdullah 105 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,399 Akbarpoor got seventh place for one hundred two thousand dollars, 106 00:05:32,439 --> 00:05:36,680 and then Richard Green, also frequent some PGT events, seventy 107 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,519 eight thousand dollars for him, seven hundred and thirty eight entries. 108 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,680 Last year was eight ninety five this year's prize school 109 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,519 I did have a three million dollar guarantee last year 110 00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:47,800 and this year. This year came at almost three point 111 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,360 six million dollars. Last year was a bit over four 112 00:05:50,399 --> 00:05:53,120 point three million dollars. So those two numbers compared to 113 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,319 last year, seventeen point five percent decrease. That's what I 114 00:05:57,399 --> 00:05:59,759 want to talk about as it pertains to the main event. 115 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,959 What are your thoughts, like, why did the field decline? 116 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,199 Speaker 2: I got four? Four reasons? 117 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,199 Speaker 1: Oh, four four, So that by the way, I like 118 00:06:09,319 --> 00:06:12,480 that you're bringing four and the reason why I like, Yeah, 119 00:06:12,519 --> 00:06:16,199 But it's never one thing I try to say, like, oh, 120 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,920 it's it's because of this, and it's there's a pie chart, 121 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,639 and like everything has its own percentage of the pie. Yeah, 122 00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:23,360 you know, so that's how this So I'm happy you're 123 00:06:23,399 --> 00:06:26,040 bringing multiple things here that that likely played into it. 124 00:06:26,079 --> 00:06:28,600 Now we may not exactly know the percentages, but there's 125 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,360 always a bunch of different factors that are to. 126 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 2: Way go ahead. 127 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 3: We're going to touch on two of them a little later, 128 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,800 but two pretty big, impressive competing events. We're going to 129 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,319 talk about Asian pokatur in Taiwan. We're going to talk 130 00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:46,040 about the BSOP that's obviously going to draw some of 131 00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:49,120 those local players to state. It's also lurid some of 132 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,240 our players. When I say our players, i'm talking you know, 133 00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:54,720 Las Vegas slash America over to those stops, and that's 134 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,439 obviously going to have an influence on another event we'll 135 00:06:57,439 --> 00:06:59,279 talk about a little later, the textas Payler around up. 136 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,199 So those two things are pretty big. I think the 137 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,720 third thing to me, and you know, you and I 138 00:07:04,759 --> 00:07:06,959 have chatted about this a lot in person. I've chatted 139 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,079 with players about a lot. I didn't think the schedule 140 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,680 was that good. And when I say good, I'm talking 141 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,639 more about how it was kind of conducted, how it 142 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:15,319 was structured. 143 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 2: You know, the offerings was not good. 144 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think when a player wanting to travel 145 00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:23,480 here looking at that, They're like, you know, I can't 146 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,160 play this event. I can't play that. I can only 147 00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:26,879 play a couple of events. It's not really worth it 148 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,800 for me. I'm going to skip it. And then the 149 00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:32,120 fourth thing I think is is something I'm not quite 150 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,680 knowledgeable on. Maybe you a little better than me, but 151 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,800 the landscape. And when I said to Lanscap, I'm talking 152 00:07:37,839 --> 00:07:41,680 about Focus Stars, I'm talking about FanDuel And you know, 153 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,079 we touched on it, like we just didn't feel there 154 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,600 was as much promotion for this series in the last 155 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,680 compared to the last couple of years. And now was 156 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,439 that on purpose? Was that Pocos Stars saying, you know what, 157 00:07:52,519 --> 00:07:55,360 let's dial down the marketing dollars a little bit. You know, 158 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,439 I'm sure if we could somehow access the data of 159 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,160 satellite see winners online and and live. I'm assuming there's 160 00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:04,319 a big decline there too. 161 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think that last sorry, two years ago, 162 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,439 they obviously had to make a pretty big splash. Now 163 00:08:09,439 --> 00:08:10,920 it was a little bit of a different event with 164 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,199 a different price point, but they still had to make 165 00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:15,399 a big splash. Return of the napt It's coming back 166 00:08:15,399 --> 00:08:17,639 to Las Vegas all that sort of stuff, and then 167 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,160 last year they go back, they go to more of 168 00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:23,759 an EPT model, more of the old NAPT model, the 169 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,000 five K in event, three million dollar guaranteed price, well, 170 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,399 that sort of stuff. So obviously you've got to put 171 00:08:27,399 --> 00:08:29,680 a lot of marketing power behind that, and then this 172 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,800 year maybe they just pulled back on it. I just 173 00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:35,360 I felt like buzz was a little bit lesser than 174 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,600 last year, and that's probably just because it wasn't so 175 00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:40,320 in your face with the marketing, you know, actual so 176 00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:43,399 it was it was it was still a really good turnout, right, 177 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:44,240 you know, but. 178 00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, nearly eight hundred players, you know, you that's that's great. 179 00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:51,879 The actual on site marketing, let's just make sure we 180 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,840 under it was still fantastic. The room's great to play in, 181 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,000 you know, the branding at result World is still great. 182 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,159 It's we're talking about leading up to whether it's on social, 183 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,480 whether it's you know, they did a lot of stuff 184 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,360 last year with influences and even like some pretty big 185 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,039 Twitter accounts like was Las Vegas locally and stuff, so 186 00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:14,879 those additional marketing arms weren't there this year. Everything on 187 00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:16,960 side we're not talking about, it's just leading up to it. 188 00:09:17,399 --> 00:09:21,639 Online social et cetera, just built not not as there, 189 00:09:21,759 --> 00:09:22,960 not as much there as last time. 190 00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it's also I know you want to talk 191 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,639 about this a little bit more later, but it is 192 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,480 very difficult these days with there's just so much poker. 193 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:32,919 Speaker 2: There's so much, you know, it's. 194 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:37,279 Speaker 1: It's it's getting pretty crazy, and it's it's good to 195 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,000 see that the industry is able to survive through it, 196 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,120 you know, like for example, this event, you know, it 197 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,360 didn't it didn't miss the guarantee, It cleared the guarantee. 198 00:09:46,759 --> 00:09:48,679 You know, it was I think it was probably a 199 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,200 bit more of a sweat than they would have liked. 200 00:09:51,399 --> 00:09:53,440 But still they made it by about six in r K, 201 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,679 so that's you know, a fair a fair amount over 202 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,720 you know that I would say that this doesn't fall 203 00:09:59,759 --> 00:10:01,960 into fake guarantee range because they didn't blow it out 204 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,360 of the water finally, but it was again, it was 205 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,679 probably a little bit closer than they would have liked. 206 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,639 So there's that. Yeah, all in all, you know, I 207 00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:12,120 thought the event was good. I lasted a whole of 208 00:10:12,159 --> 00:10:15,480 like forty minutes in it, so that was also spectacular. Yeah, 209 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,960 it's very well played. You know, I don't like to 210 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,919 wait around. You know, I either get in and I 211 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,600 lose or I win, you know, one of the others. 212 00:10:23,159 --> 00:10:25,919 Moving on to the PGT qualifying events that were part 213 00:10:25,919 --> 00:10:28,639 of the NAPT Las Vegas. You had eight events, the 214 00:10:28,879 --> 00:10:31,200 ten K Mystery Bounty, the twenty K Super high Roller 215 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,679 warm Up, the fifty K Super high Roller, ten K 216 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,919 Half and half Nolan Holdham Slash Plo, twenty five K 217 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:42,759 Poo high Roller, ten K Bounty, twelve K Quattro Knockout, 218 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,080 and then the ten K napt high Roller First Up 219 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,279 the Mystery Bounty.

She went two hundred and 223 00:10:56,919 --> 00:11:00,879 twenty thousand dollars from the mystery bounties. She beat Nick 224 00:11:00,879 --> 00:11:04,440 Petraangelo in heads up play. Petra Angelo got almost one 225 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,720 hundred and twenty two thousand dollars between prize, school and bounties. 226 00:11:08,039 --> 00:11:10,480 And I bring up Petrangela specifically because he then went 227 00:11:10,519 --> 00:11:13,600 on to win the next event, the twenty K Super 228 00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:15,879 high Roller warm Up, topping fifty three entries to win 229 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,039 almost three hundred and ten thousand dollars. The fifty k 230 00:11:19,159 --> 00:11:22,600 super high Roller that had twenty three entries. Steven Chidwick 231 00:11:23,159 --> 00:11:27,159 topped all comers five hundred and fifty seven thousand dollars. 232 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,440 Thomas Boyven second place for three thirty four, already on 233 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,240 a high before that main event score that we already 234 00:11:34,279 --> 00:11:36,679 talked about. This fifty k super high Roll took place 235 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:41,320 before the main event, so all combined well over eight 236 00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:44,200 hundred thousand dollars just from those two finishes for Boyvin, 237 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,440 who's had a really really great year, he had a 238 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,679 smashing WSP does very well here at NPT Las Vegas. 239 00:11:50,759 --> 00:11:54,600 The ten k Nolanan HOLDOM slash PLO JACEAMU top sixty 240 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,360 entries won one hundred and seventy four thousand dollars. Sam 241 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,799 Soeverell second place one hundred and thirteen thousand dollars cherish 242 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:04,039 and back at the final table She's Hot fifth place 243 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,679 for forty seven thousand dollars. The twenty five KPLO high Roller. 244 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,759 This event was i'll say needs improvement. Eleven entries, Yeah, 245 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,399 it was. It was just a bad structure. It was 246 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,440 scheduled for three days. I think they started him way 247 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,799 too deep in chips. They only played a handful levels 248 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,440 on day one. They even had to adjust the structure 249 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,320 on day one. It was kind of a mess. It 250 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,799 only got eleven entries at the end of the day. 251 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,559 Sean Rafael won it for one hundred and seventy one 252 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,960 thousand dollars. He beat Jordan Glazer, who took ninety two 253 00:12:33,039 --> 00:12:36,480 k for second place, and then Glazer, much like Petrangelo 254 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,759 did to kick off the high rollers, Glazer went on 255 00:12:38,799 --> 00:12:41,320 to win the next high roller, top fourteen entries in 256 00:12:41,399 --> 00:12:44,639 the ten K Bounty to win forty two thousand dollars. 257 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,519 Then Glazer took second place in the twelve K Quatro knockout. 258 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,519 He lost there to Sam so Overroll. Sam Soverll wins 259 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,039 almost two hundred one thousand dollars over two hundred thousand dollars, 260 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,840 topping thirty nine entries there, and then the the most 261 00:13:00,879 --> 00:13:03,639 well attended a high roller event on the schedule, the 262 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:09,320 ten K napt high Roller Batali Zavorotnis I probably severely 263 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,960 pushed at that one, top one hundred and fifty eight 264 00:13:12,039 --> 00:13:14,240 entries to win three hundred and fifty eight thousand dollars. 265 00:13:14,279 --> 00:13:21,360 It had one hundred and seventy entries last year. For you, sir, Yes, Now, 266 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,200 part of our partnership with the NAPT Las Vegas. And 267 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,279 when I say our, I mean the PGT, we gave 268 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,240 a dream seat which fast tracked somebody into the PGT 269 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,279 Million Dollar Championship. Who won that thing? And who are 270 00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:34,519 we going to be seeing in January? 271 00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 3: Well, we like we do on the PGT, he must 272 00:13:38,039 --> 00:13:41,559 have two cash's, so that kind of you know, disqualified 273 00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:44,960 or made some people ineligible to win this. So who 274 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,799 actually finished second on the leaderboard, but he did have 275 00:13:46,799 --> 00:13:50,559 two cashes? Nick Petriangelo has both hands on that dream see. 276 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,480 But you know, here's the thing, here's the kicker. And 277 00:13:53,519 --> 00:13:57,159 I've told some players that are on this leaderboard he's 278 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,200 pretty close to the top forty. And we know he's 279 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,919 going to Bahamas and we know he probably might play 280 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,320 last Chance, so there was a chance that he naturally 281 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,919 qualifies for the PGT Championship. So what that means that 282 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,159 seat start rolling down next up. 283 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: And the reason why you do that is because dream 284 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,639 seat winners only start with one hundred big lines. 285 00:14:19,679 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 2: Correct. 286 00:14:20,159 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: If you qualify in the top forty. 287 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 2: Do you have a lot more? 288 00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:25,759 Speaker 1: You can have more chips based on your finishing position 289 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,600 in the top four Exactly. The first person on the 290 00:14:27,679 --> 00:14:29,519 leader board, which right now is Alex Fox, and he 291 00:14:29,559 --> 00:14:32,039 would start with the most chips in the PGT Championship, 292 00:14:32,279 --> 00:14:35,240 second whatever, the second most, et cetera. So you'd rather 293 00:14:35,279 --> 00:14:38,240 than that. We're gonna benefit the player in this regard exactly. 294 00:14:38,519 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 3: Next up Sam several Well, he's second on the leader board, 295 00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:45,159 so he's out. Uh. Steven Chidwick also in the top forty, 296 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,440 he's at bin Wang one cash. 297 00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 2: Unfortunately he does not qualify. 298 00:14:49,159 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 3: Next person on the list, Jordan Glazer four cash, is 299 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,279 best performing player at NAPT when it came to the 300 00:14:56,279 --> 00:14:59,279 PGT qualifying events. But Jordan, we'll touch on him. He 301 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,960 did down to Texas, had some results there. He's about 302 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,879 four hundred points away from the top forty. 303 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 2: Not sure. 304 00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 3: I'm not sure he was going to Muhamas yet. So 305 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,639 he's probably, you know, not a favorite. But hey, I 306 00:15:15,639 --> 00:15:18,840 already told him keep the communication lines open. I might 307 00:15:18,879 --> 00:15:20,919 have to send you a message. He may also come 308 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,360 and play PGT last chance. He's more of a PLO player, 309 00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:27,440 but he may come out here. So there's a chance, 310 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,639 you know, he could score some results and potentially get 311 00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:33,320 in naturally too. But if Petranglo does qualify, he's got 312 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,639 four hundred and fifty points, that sea would roll down 313 00:15:36,679 --> 00:15:38,679 to Jordan and then if you know, like it can 314 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,440 keep going. Obviously, if he did both of them somehow 315 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,240 get in, it's going to go down to Sam Laskwitz 316 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,960 was just outside the top forty. Just somow he's in, 317 00:15:47,039 --> 00:15:50,080 Kristen Foxon and carry Katz sitting in tenth, not in 318 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,120 the top forty yet, but hey, this is his backup option. 319 00:15:53,639 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 2: So what about Cherish Wish? 320 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 3: She Cherish's on thirteenth on the leaderboard, so significantly more 321 00:15:59,279 --> 00:16:01,120 down on this dream see little bit. But yeah, she's 322 00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:03,480 she's outside the top forty as well. So yeah, this 323 00:16:03,679 --> 00:16:05,879 is I though Nick, it's currently with Nick. 324 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:06,679 Speaker 2: It may change. 325 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 3: We'll just kind of see how the next you know, 326 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,960 what is it twenty sixteen events or something play out? 327 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: Anything else stand out to you from this series? You 328 00:16:18,559 --> 00:16:21,120 can focus on the PGT stuff. I mean, what have 329 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:21,720 you got to say? 330 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 2: So? 331 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 3: I think the biggest thing is, you know, we had 332 00:16:25,679 --> 00:16:29,440 three people knock up some PGT milestones. Okay, okay, So 333 00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:33,879 we had Steven Schidwick sur past ten thousand PGT points, 334 00:16:33,879 --> 00:16:37,120 he joins Alex Foxon in that category. We had Sam 335 00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:41,200 Several and Jeremy Osmond's pick up their one hundredth PGT cash, 336 00:16:41,559 --> 00:16:43,879 so it's three pretty cool milestones. And then we look 337 00:16:43,919 --> 00:16:46,519 at the leaderboard, we did have some big, big movers. 338 00:16:46,559 --> 00:16:50,480 Some people solidify, you know, their position. Obviously, Sam Several 339 00:16:50,519 --> 00:16:53,720 picked up three cash as he's he's now just looks 340 00:16:53,759 --> 00:16:58,120 like forty four points outside Alex Foxon. So that race 341 00:16:58,279 --> 00:16:59,759 to be PGT Player of the Year is going to 342 00:16:59,799 --> 00:17:02,759 come pretty pretty hot down this home stretch. You know, 343 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,000 we had jos Mao move up in the top ten, 344 00:17:05,079 --> 00:17:07,599 Kristen fox And move up, Chidwick move up. A lot 345 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,039 of these guys kind of solidified their position. And then 346 00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:13,359 you look just outside that, you know, top forty, we 347 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,640 saw Sam Liskoy it's now forty first. Including all the 348 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,880 little rules we have, we have Jeremy Osma's now sneaking in, 349 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,279 so he's right in there, you know, obviously defending PGT 350 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,000 Player of the Year, defending PGT Championship winner. So he 351 00:17:28,279 --> 00:17:31,640 is currently sitting thirty eight, so he's going to still 352 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,880 do some more work to make sure he sleticizes his position. 353 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,359 But yeah, some movers in the forty people just moving 354 00:17:37,519 --> 00:17:39,880 just to the outside. So did have a bit of 355 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:40,880 a bit of a shakeup. 356 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, I thought I thought the high 357 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:44,680 walls were pretty good. 358 00:17:44,839 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 3: You know. 359 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 1: I think going back to your point about the schedule stuff, 360 00:17:47,519 --> 00:17:50,319 some tinkering could be done there. And yeah, you know, 361 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,519 all in all, I hope, I hope this event stays 362 00:17:53,559 --> 00:17:55,920 on the schedule. I really like it's I think it's 363 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,599 got a decent time slot. I see decent now because 364 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,200 as we'll get into some of the later stuff and 365 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,480 Tim kind of touched on could be more challenging going forward. 366 00:18:05,839 --> 00:18:09,079 I also do wonder if this this letter or whatever 367 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,519 from the Nevada Gaming Commission has anything to do with it, 368 00:18:11,839 --> 00:18:14,799 because they sent the letter to their belief to fand yeah, 369 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,480 you know about the prediction market stuff, you know, and 370 00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:21,119 I want to say they mentioned Flutter in there, so 371 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,559 does because Flutter owns poker Stars. Does that affect this 372 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,319 event like it's it's a whole thing. So I guess 373 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,960 wait and see on that. I would hate to see 374 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,039 this event go. I mean, I want to see the 375 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:39,519 napt evolve into a full on tour, not just one stop. 376 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,599 I mean, I think that they should be. I think 377 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,480 they should be trying to do four big five K 378 00:18:46,559 --> 00:18:52,119 events a year different properties, culminate with the final one 379 00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:55,559 in Las Vegas, and then do a bunch of those 380 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,880 Poker Stars open ones, right, you know, maybe do let's 381 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,119 four to eight of those smaller events one K price point, 382 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,119 you know, and they kind of all feed in to 383 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,279 those then majors. Like That's how I would kind of 384 00:19:08,319 --> 00:19:10,160 try and structure this thing. I don't know how many 385 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,720 properties are are available to them, how many you know, 386 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,359 partner properties they have. Obviously they went to I think 387 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,920 it was Maryland Live for the Poker Stars Open. I 388 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,400 think they have a presence in Pennsylvania. They're in Michigan, 389 00:19:21,519 --> 00:19:23,759 So can they find someone there to do something with, like, 390 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,599 you know, all that sort of stuff. I don't know, 391 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,480 we'll see. Would love for that to happen. And I think, 392 00:19:28,519 --> 00:19:30,039 again I've said it before, I'll say it again, the 393 00:19:30,079 --> 00:19:33,240 resort property is elite. It just kind of thinks that 394 00:19:34,039 --> 00:19:35,599 it seems like no one's ever there when I'm there, 395 00:19:35,759 --> 00:19:39,039 which sucks so quiet, it's so but the entire property 396 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,440 is so freaking nice, and like when you go to 397 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,400 play poker there for the napt you're in this ballroom, 398 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:49,240 You're away from everything. Everything super updated, state of the art, spacious, luxurious. 399 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,079 It's it's awesome. It really is. Even simple things like 400 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,680 coming in off the highway, it's like right there, you 401 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,519 don't have to deal with the strip stuff. Like it's 402 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:01,119 just nice and convenient and freaking awesome. So hopefully just 403 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,240 six a round. Let's head on down to Texas, where 404 00:20:05,279 --> 00:20:08,079 we had Stephen Hubbard topping three hundred and thirty seven 405 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,480 entries to win two hundred and fifteen thousand dollars in 406 00:20:11,559 --> 00:20:15,839 the three K buying million dollar guaranteed PGT Texas PLO 407 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,480 Round Up Main event. Tim loves to make seventeen words 408 00:20:19,519 --> 00:20:19,880 in everything. 409 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,799 Speaker 2: You're out at the PGT. PGT pot is not in 410 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:23,160 the net. 411 00:20:23,279 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: It's a PGT event, so PGT goes in the front. Okay, 412 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,240 I'm sorry, that's how it is. Hubbard dominated the final 413 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,440 table en routes to victory. He moves up to one 414 00:20:33,519 --> 00:20:37,480 hundred one hundredth on the season long PGT leader board, 415 00:20:37,559 --> 00:20:40,799 so I guess within striking distance. But I'll also say 416 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,000 not really because he's really only a PLO player, So 417 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,319 you know, unless he's going to the Bahamas to fire 418 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,599 some of that PLO stuff down there, I would doubt 419 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,839 that we see him get into the championship. But hey, 420 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,640 you never don't enough fun. Little run for Hubbard. He 421 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,440 bagged the Day one B chip lead, then he won 422 00:20:58,559 --> 00:21:02,200 the first high roller. Then he went back and ran 423 00:21:02,279 --> 00:21:04,839 on to victory in the WSP main events, in that. 424 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 3: Pail round event, the PGT What did I say, WSP 425 00:21:09,799 --> 00:21:10,200 main Event? 426 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,279 Speaker 1: I don't think I said that, rich check check the 427 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,279 tame and ran on to victory in the main events. No, 428 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,039 I don't. I honestly don't think I said that. Maybe 429 00:21:20,079 --> 00:21:22,480 I did. It might have sounded like that, but I 430 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:23,200 don't think I said it. 431 00:21:23,279 --> 00:21:25,039 Speaker 2: Actually, maybe he said Texas main event. 432 00:21:25,079 --> 00:21:28,039 Speaker 1: I don't remember what that might So anyway, he won 433 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,799 thirty six K for the high roller, winning one two 434 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,400 n and fifteen K for the main event win. Now, 435 00:21:33,519 --> 00:21:37,359 the event barely hit the guarantee million dollar guarantee one 436 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,559 million and eleven thousand dollars in the prize. Fool, that 437 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,200 was a sweat. I want to know what the heck 438 00:21:43,319 --> 00:21:44,680 was it like? Because you were on property you were 439 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:49,279 down in not Austin Houston for this event at Champions Club. 440 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,240 What was what was the sweat? 441 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 3: Like? 442 00:21:51,519 --> 00:21:53,599 Speaker 1: Every day you're getting up, you're seeing the numbers, You're like, 443 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,599 are we gonna make it? You're obviously talking to the 444 00:21:56,079 --> 00:21:58,839 Champions Club like, well, what's what's that sweat? 445 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 3: Like we started, I knew there was going to be 446 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:06,119 a downturn. I'll revisit the reasons, but we were on 447 00:22:06,319 --> 00:22:09,359 track the first flight, Day one day, We'll okay, day 448 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:09,720 one B. 449 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:10,839 Speaker 2: We were on track. 450 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,559 Speaker 3: When the when the turbo that night dinner run, We're 451 00:22:14,559 --> 00:22:18,119 a little worried. And then from there we just knew 452 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,119 it was going to be close. We were just is 453 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,599 this going to make it? Iss going to We're just 454 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,319 trying to hit certain you know, benchmarks along the way 455 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,200 to this million dollar guarantee. You know, we wanted to 456 00:22:28,279 --> 00:22:31,759 hit obviously keep it, keep it to six figures, keep 457 00:22:31,799 --> 00:22:33,720 it to a soft guarantee, you know when you include 458 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:34,000 the ring. 459 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 2: And it was definitely a sweat. 460 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 3: Obviously made it in the last break of the hyper 461 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,160 turbo level when a couple of people bust and jump 462 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,799 back in and then yeah, look we did make it. 463 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,279 Speaker 2: It's it was pretty nerve wracking. 464 00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 3: We're probably going to make a few changes to to 465 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,599 this event and even the one, the no limit version. 466 00:22:55,039 --> 00:22:57,440 But like, we ran really bad. And when I say that, 467 00:22:57,519 --> 00:23:00,200 when you're running these multi flight where you can put 468 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,640 in a lot of bullets, no offense, but we're cheering 469 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,799 for the people with the deeper pockets depends. 470 00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: But we want you guys to bust out what I 471 00:23:08,279 --> 00:23:08,839 have said. 472 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,079 Speaker 3: Them to that fest and I want you in for 473 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,960 twenty bullets, but I want you to cash for twenty two. 474 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 2: I want you to profit. I just want you to 475 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:15,519 put in a lot of bullets. 476 00:23:15,559 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 3: And look Day one A, every player that bagged Day 477 00:23:19,279 --> 00:23:22,119 one A, and you can as see anyone champions were 478 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,920 good for many many more bullets, many many more bullets, 479 00:23:26,039 --> 00:23:29,240 you know. So we were very bad in that aspect. 480 00:23:29,599 --> 00:23:30,960 But it's okay at the end of the day, we 481 00:23:31,079 --> 00:23:33,920 made it. We'll make some tweaks going forward, but. 482 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely missing a bunch of PGT regulars that have 483 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,920 traveled there in the past. Yeah, I don't remember if 484 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,880 Jeremy Osmas went to the PLO one last time, but 485 00:23:44,079 --> 00:23:46,200 did Gina Reim go to the po Low one last time? 486 00:23:46,279 --> 00:23:50,440 Red Lynn didn't. Then josh Ariean Deep like, you know, 487 00:23:50,799 --> 00:23:53,599 a bunch of bunch of PLO guys, slash PGT players, 488 00:23:53,759 --> 00:23:57,039 you know that you might expect there, they didn't make 489 00:23:57,039 --> 00:23:57,640 the trip this time. 490 00:23:57,839 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 3: So yeah, this is a bumber when it comes to 491 00:23:59,519 --> 00:24:02,759 our players. You know, there's a couple of reasons. First one, 492 00:24:02,799 --> 00:24:05,000 you know they've done Houston a few times. They didn't 493 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,720 want to go back. You know, they were playing in 494 00:24:06,799 --> 00:24:08,519 to go to seminoles, so this was a good week 495 00:24:08,599 --> 00:24:12,000 off before doing Seminal Bahamas all those events. I understand 496 00:24:12,039 --> 00:24:15,200 that we also had a lot of new new faces 497 00:24:15,279 --> 00:24:17,680 go Bryce Jockey, Chris Cossa, a couple of other guys 498 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,720 get down to to there for the first time and 499 00:24:20,799 --> 00:24:23,319 they I played a lot of cash with Chris and 500 00:24:23,519 --> 00:24:26,720 Bryce and they loved it down there, so you know, 501 00:24:26,839 --> 00:24:29,160 it is a great spot. Also, we lost a couple 502 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,720 of our regulars that we were counting on being there. 503 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,200 They went to the APT event. And when I say regulars, 504 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,440 I mean three or four local Houston players. Okay, right 505 00:24:40,039 --> 00:24:42,960 that a PLO that they only played plow decided to 506 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,640 do a little a little holiday November, So we lost those. 507 00:24:46,079 --> 00:24:48,119 But the biggest problem was and you know, I think 508 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:49,240 we're going to touch on this. We did see a 509 00:24:49,279 --> 00:24:51,400 big decrease, you know, we went from what is a 510 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,960 one point four million last year to just hitting the guarantee. 511 00:24:54,519 --> 00:24:57,039 And it's a big issue in Texas right now. 512 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: I am shocked at how many rooms there are in Texas, 513 00:25:02,039 --> 00:25:04,680 Like you see many. If you were to ask me, 514 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,440 obviously before I like look deeper into it, I probably 515 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,160 would have said, I don't know, six, Yeah, there might 516 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,000 be sixty. I mean, it's outrageous. 517 00:25:13,039 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 3: Houston is probably the most saturated with poker rooms. A 518 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,880 couple of big ones and then a lot of little 519 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,160 small ones. The problem with one of them, and you know, 520 00:25:21,279 --> 00:25:25,240 I'm I'm gonna call them out TCH is you know 521 00:25:25,319 --> 00:25:28,599 what TCH. I've played at TCH in Austin one of 522 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,279 the most beautiful poker rooms I've ever played. And that's 523 00:25:31,319 --> 00:25:33,279 coming from someone that's played at the Winn and Aria 524 00:25:33,319 --> 00:25:34,960 and Venetian all these places here in Vegas. 525 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:36,039 Speaker 2: It's beautiful. 526 00:25:36,519 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 3: The TCH that I'm talking to about in Houston, they 527 00:25:39,759 --> 00:25:42,200 all kind of like different ownerships, Like it's not like, 528 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,680 you know, one hundred percent the same, and they are 529 00:25:45,799 --> 00:25:47,680 kind of you know, they set their dates for a 530 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,000 main event. They had a twelve hundred dollars half a 531 00:25:50,079 --> 00:25:53,240 million guarantee on you know this week in November. We 532 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,440 scheduled our event to be to upset that. Okay, then 533 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,359 they moved their event over the top of ours to 534 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,720 basically try and take us out. What that meant was 535 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,240 you lose a lot of the fringe no limit hold 536 00:26:05,319 --> 00:26:07,160 them guys that would have played a bullet or two 537 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,200 in the PLO. They're going to just stick to the 538 00:26:09,279 --> 00:26:14,279 no limit. You know, people that you know you would expect. 539 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,680 You know, good Ray Henson, you know champions. He plays 540 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,359 a lot of Champions, plays a lot of cash there, 541 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:25,880 loves PLO, big support of the PGT. He decided to 542 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,920 put one bullet in the in the TCH event and 543 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,039 then he was going to play Champions the rest of 544 00:26:32,039 --> 00:26:32,319 the week. 545 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:32,759 Speaker 2: Well guess what. 546 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,839 Speaker 3: He bagged that bullet so he couldn't play any of 547 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,440 the fights to Champions. Gabriel Andrade comes here, plays the 548 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,359 PGT PLO series, big PLO player. He decided to do 549 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,839 the same thing, put a couple of bullets in the 550 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,759 no limit holder events so you try and get lucky. 551 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,920 I think he put I think I heard he put 552 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,240 fourteen bullets and once you start getting a few bullets deep, 553 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,960 you start chasing those bullets. Of course, he actually didn't bag. 554 00:26:58,559 --> 00:27:03,359 He played the hyper Turbo Survive the Hypoturbo end up 555 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,960 cashing in our event anyway, But you know, losing a 556 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,640 lot of players there really hurts. Now talk about our satellites. 557 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,599 Our satellite program was great last year. This year nearly 558 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,559 non existent. Main reason was the people that play the 559 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,200 satellites have all been lured to some of these other 560 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,000 places because of all these new promotions they're running to 561 00:27:22,039 --> 00:27:25,920 basically acquire, you know, all these customers. And you know, look, 562 00:27:26,839 --> 00:27:30,240 we missed one guarantee this series, really small one. Otherwise 563 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,680 we made everything TCH was trying to kind of break. 564 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,440 Champions Club missed nearly every single day guarantee that they ran. 565 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,599 They missed the main event guarantee by fifty k. So 566 00:27:41,079 --> 00:27:44,680 it's a really expensive customer acquisition process for them. And look, 567 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,400 I think we can all be friends in Texas well. 568 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's kind of my point is that 569 00:27:50,799 --> 00:27:53,440 I've started to get this sense, and this is just 570 00:27:53,799 --> 00:27:56,559 my own personal opinion that the Texas market is really 571 00:27:56,599 --> 00:27:58,759 just going to eat itself alive. Yeah, Like I don't 572 00:27:58,799 --> 00:28:02,559 know how as many rooms that are down there can 573 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:08,200 survive like this, especially if they're going at each other's 574 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,880 throats all the time. Like I mean, I know Texas 575 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,079 is a huge state. I know poker is widely popular there. 576 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,559 I just I don't know how you can do it. 577 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,799 You know, now you have you obviously had the WPT 578 00:28:20,039 --> 00:28:22,079 went down there, right, they had a prime event there. 579 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,720 Basically circuits going there, so like it's only going to 580 00:28:24,799 --> 00:28:29,359 get more saturated. So I just don't know how much 581 00:28:29,519 --> 00:28:33,880 these rooms can survive. And then ultimately if the rooms 582 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,240 don't survive, the ones that are going to suffer are 583 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:37,279 the players. 584 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know they can survive. And you know, you 585 00:28:40,759 --> 00:28:43,039 say like they're they're in they're in walls together, but 586 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,279 it's not. It's a very one sided wall because just 587 00:28:47,359 --> 00:28:50,599 like Kia, you know when Aria Venetian, when the summer 588 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,799 schedule is set by WSP that we all kind of 589 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,559 talk and figure out where we want to do our 590 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,839 machi events and we put stuff around it. You know, 591 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,640 we we play, we work with each other to create 592 00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:04,079 so we can all benefit. Now for this, in this case, 593 00:29:04,599 --> 00:29:07,440 most of the Texas rooms do that. You know, champions 594 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,839 have have a relationship with you know, the large up 595 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,240 in US and some other rooms, and they you know, 596 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,920 make sure they don't overlap, don't schedule on top of 597 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,920 each other. But it's just this one room that's kind 598 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,359 of out for war. Doesn't seem like they're going to stop. 599 00:29:22,759 --> 00:29:25,920 Maybe two months ago, Champions over a three hundred k 600 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,640 in their million dollar you know, summer event or whatever 601 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,000 it was called. They those dates are out and TCCH 602 00:29:33,119 --> 00:29:34,880 moved an event to be over the top of it, 603 00:29:35,119 --> 00:29:38,240 the same buying, same guarantee and miss they missed the guarantee. 604 00:29:38,599 --> 00:29:41,839 That doesn't do anything for players. If you're a TCCH loyalist, 605 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,839 you'll play there. If you're Champions loyalists, you'll play at Champions. 606 00:29:45,079 --> 00:29:48,480 But if you just go different weekends, you both can benefit. 607 00:29:48,759 --> 00:29:50,599 I just don't understand why they're trying to do this, 608 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,119 but kind of yeah, it is what it is, and 609 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,640 we just have to deal with it. When you know, 610 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,359 we're creating our partner events there next year, we have 611 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,279 to take into account that, hey, this could be an sure. 612 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,440 You know, obviously we haven't missed the guarantee of Champions yet, 613 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,440 you know, four from four, How do we keep doing that? 614 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 2: Do we need. What adjustments do we need to make 615 00:30:08,519 --> 00:30:11,359 to ensure you know we will be successful? 616 00:30:12,039 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: Moving on to the three five K high rulers that 617 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,119 took place, we already mentioned.

We're not going to 654 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,440 talk about those big events.

So 680 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,599 I brought a treadmill a few weeks ago. Plot of 681 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,759 Black Friday sales. You know, got early why you can 682 00:33:23,839 --> 00:33:24,400 run outside. 683 00:33:24,599 --> 00:33:26,759 Speaker 2: I hate running outside.

No, no, no. 687 00:33:34,759 --> 00:33:36,559 Speaker 3: I like to watch because then I get distracted and 688 00:33:36,599 --> 00:33:39,160 I can get through, like thirteen miles really easy. 689 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,119 Speaker 2: Came in a big box, right, it's a big treadmill. 690 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,480 Came in a big box. My son, who is nine 691 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,920 and he's not autistic, likes boxes and likes forts. He's 692 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:48,400 like a cat. 693 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 3: So we kept this box that is seven feet long 694 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,279 in the living room. He put all his all his 695 00:33:54,359 --> 00:33:57,279 stuffed animals. He put all the blankets in the house, 696 00:33:57,279 --> 00:33:59,000 and he made it a four. The video I just 697 00:33:59,039 --> 00:34:02,319 sent Ridge. He wanted to sleep in the fort downstairs 698 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,480 a couple of different nights, so he slept in there 699 00:34:04,519 --> 00:34:06,759 and I took a video. So I sent that other one. 700 00:34:07,799 --> 00:34:10,159 You know, I think a couple couple of Christmas ago, 701 00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:12,559 we put a little Rubik's cube and he's like stucking 702 00:34:12,679 --> 00:34:15,280 you know, obviously you have to be pretty damn smart 703 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,400 to be able to solve his Ruby's Cube and it's 704 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,800 just been sitting there. He brought it to me two 705 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:24,480 days ago, fully solved, and I go, did you do this? 706 00:34:24,559 --> 00:34:26,760 He goes yeah, And I thought maybe he peeled the 707 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,639 stickers off. That would make sense, and he goes, I 708 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,119 did it. I'm looking at him and he's like, got 709 00:34:32,119 --> 00:34:34,920 a straight face. I'm like, you cheated? 710 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 2: How did you do this? 711 00:34:36,039 --> 00:34:38,039 Speaker 3: And he goes, what are you talking about? And I'm 712 00:34:38,079 --> 00:34:39,719 just looking at him in the eyes and he goes, oh, 713 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,880 I used a rublic a Ruby's Cube solver. I'm like okay, 714 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,559 And then he ran away and I was like, am 715 00:34:46,599 --> 00:34:48,320 I should I be proud of him for that? Or 716 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,440 should I be worried? And he brought it back. 717 00:34:50,519 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: I really just problem solving in a way. 718 00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:53,559 Speaker 2: I re jumbled it. 719 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 3: And then the next day he's like, I sold it again. 720 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,239 I'm just like, I'm not sure if I should be 721 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,760 proud that he found a way to cheat all that. 722 00:35:03,559 --> 00:35:05,280 I mean cheat, I don't know, but it's like I 723 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,239 was impressed that he somehow found this and then still 724 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:10,840 so you still probably got to follow steps kind of 725 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,280 like doing Lego to solve it. 726 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: But that's yeah, amazing, No, okay, I mean it's like math, 727 00:35:17,559 --> 00:35:19,719 you know. Now we just type stuff in a calculator 728 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,480 and we just move on with it. You know, we didn't. 729 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,039 We don't really. I mean, yeah, we used the math, 730 00:35:23,119 --> 00:35:24,599 but you know, did you have a second one? 731 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 2: No? That was two different yea. 732 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: So mine, I tease this with you and Rich and 733 00:35:31,159 --> 00:35:33,559 it's been I think it's been two weeks now, three 734 00:35:33,599 --> 00:35:43,199 weeks now. So my wife is a huge reality TV 735 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,519 show person. She loves Bravo, She loves the Real Housewives, 736 00:35:46,639 --> 00:35:50,119 all this sort of stuff. Bravo Con is their huge 737 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:55,320 conference takes place here in Vegas. She went, I think 738 00:35:55,519 --> 00:35:58,159 last year or two years. I think last year. She 739 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,079 wanted to go this year. Okay, I think she told 740 00:36:01,159 --> 00:36:03,000 me about it, you know, back when the tickets were 741 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,800 announced or whatever several months ago. Tickets ended up snap 742 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,880 selling out, you know whatever. We go out to her 743 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,880 birthday dinner, her and I she tells me that, like, 744 00:36:14,119 --> 00:36:16,480 Bravo CON's coming up, and you know whatever, one or 745 00:36:16,519 --> 00:36:19,480 two weekends, we're gonna have to pay for the tickets whatever, 746 00:36:19,519 --> 00:36:23,880 blah blah blah. Okay, fine, cool. At no point had 747 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,960 it been told to me what these tickets cost. I'm 748 00:36:27,039 --> 00:36:29,360 basically going off of what they cost the last time, 749 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,440 which I thought was ridiculous, which I think was around 750 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,079 three to four hundred dollars. But it's like, you get 751 00:36:33,159 --> 00:36:36,400 three days, it's like Friday, Saturday, Sunday, like, you know, whatever, 752 00:36:36,519 --> 00:36:39,039 this is what she wants to do. You know, it's fine, 753 00:36:39,079 --> 00:36:40,480 she can go do it. Three hundred dollars is not 754 00:36:40,559 --> 00:36:45,960 gonna kill me. So, like a week or so before 755 00:36:46,559 --> 00:36:49,159 the event, she tells, she's like, hey, don't forget, we 756 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:50,760 have to pay for the Bravo Con tickets. We have 757 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,960 to send so and so the money. I'm like, okay, 758 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,639 how much are they? She goes twenty five dollars. I 759 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,920 go twenty I go twenty five. What it's twenty five hundred. 760 00:37:01,199 --> 00:37:06,719 It's twenty five hundred dollars. What in God's name are 761 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,719 you doing at Bravo Con. She's like, we had to 762 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,239 get VIP. I'm like, what do you had to get VIP? 763 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,559 What are you talking about? So she drops this on 764 00:37:15,679 --> 00:37:20,119 me a week beforehand. Now she then tells me that 765 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,079 she told me the price, and it's this whole thing 766 00:37:23,079 --> 00:37:27,000 and I'm like, there's no ethan way that you told 767 00:37:27,079 --> 00:37:29,760 me the price, because I would have screamed at you, 768 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,760 not like at you, but like just screamed in general 769 00:37:33,119 --> 00:37:36,000 about how absurd it is that you want to spend 770 00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:38,320 money for twenty five hundred dollars. I was like, do 771 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,639 you know how much money that is? That's more than 772 00:37:40,679 --> 00:37:43,280 our mortgage payment for you to go hang out with 773 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,400 these Bravo celebrities, Like, come on, this is ridiculous. You 774 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:51,239 can't do this. Then, so she's trying to tell me 775 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:52,920 that she told me the price. The whole time. I'm like, 776 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,480 there's no way you told me the price, because if 777 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,880 anyone knows me, I would have freaked out about the price. 778 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,360 I would have told you no, like, if you want 779 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,119 to go whatever, you know for the the cheaper version 780 00:38:01,119 --> 00:38:03,039 of the regular version, like that's totally fine. She's trying 781 00:38:03,079 --> 00:38:04,400 to tell me that she she's like, you have to 782 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,920 go VIP. I'm like, you didn't go VIP last time. 783 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,679 You had a freaking ball, Like, I don't understand what 784 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,880 the hell's going on. Then she tells me that her 785 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,800 friend that purchased the tickets, She's like, well, she never 786 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,079 told me the price and I was like, I was like, okay, 787 00:38:18,119 --> 00:38:24,119 so hold on, So your friend bought tickets and she 788 00:38:24,199 --> 00:38:27,079 didn't tell you the price. Therefore your story does not 789 00:38:27,199 --> 00:38:29,320 count because you could not have told me the price 790 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,800 if your friend never told you the price. Okay, I 791 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,320 gotta trying. Then she also says that, well, so and 792 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,360 so bought the tickets, and like I kept asking her 793 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:38,760 for the price, but she couldn't give it to me 794 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,039 because she didn't know. And I'm like, what the fuck 795 00:38:41,079 --> 00:38:43,079 do you mean she didn't know? She just bought like 796 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,960 five tickets on her credit card for twenty five hundred 797 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,280 dollars each and didn't know how much they cost? Is 798 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,440 this person a billionaire? Like what is happening? And then 799 00:38:51,519 --> 00:38:53,679 she's trying to tell me that well, we can just 800 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,199 tell the person we can't go. I'm like, you committed 801 00:38:56,239 --> 00:39:01,360 to this, it's a week ago. You're screwing that person 802 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,519 out a twenty five hundred dollars yep. Who is also 803 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,880 quite ridiculous that she doesn't know how much she spot 804 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,239 for these tickets. So it's this whole thing for like 805 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,360 a week. I'm like, I cannot believe you spent twenty 806 00:39:11,559 --> 00:39:15,880 five hundred dollars on a goddamn ticket to Bravocar. Now 807 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,719 she had the freaking time of her life and great 808 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,679 and listen, I probably and also at the birthday dinner, 809 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,920 I bought her tickets too. She wanted to go see 810 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,840 Brandy and Monica, who came out here at Allegiance Stadium. 811 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,000 I bought her tickets to that. So she was like, 812 00:39:29,079 --> 00:39:30,480 I thought it was weird when you gave me those 813 00:39:30,519 --> 00:39:32,639 tickets knowing that I was going to bravocn and they 814 00:39:32,679 --> 00:39:35,519 cost that much money. I was like, so you didn't 815 00:39:35,519 --> 00:39:38,840 say anything, like you didn't tell me, And it's not 816 00:39:39,039 --> 00:39:42,119 so much that I was first, yes, I was pissed 817 00:39:42,119 --> 00:39:44,559 off at the price. I think it's fucking absurd to 818 00:39:44,599 --> 00:39:48,119 spend twenty five hundred dollars on that sort of thing. Now, 819 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,199 if you would have told me, like in April, I 820 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:52,719 could have, like, you know, done the thing, like I'll 821 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,159 put two hundred dollars away like whatever, Like it's not 822 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,519 not that big of a deal, like twenty five hundred 823 00:39:57,559 --> 00:40:01,920 dollars money to go to bravocon And then on top 824 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,519 of it, it's even more than twenty five hundred dollars 825 00:40:03,559 --> 00:40:06,159 because you buy some things there you get some souvenirs. 826 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:07,840 We got to get a babysitter on one of the 827 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:09,880 one or two of the days. Like it's a whole thing. 828 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:11,760 I'm just like, this is ubsurd. I'm like, do you 829 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,719 realize you going to Bravo con costs more than our 830 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,440 family trip to Disneyland. I was I was losing my 831 00:40:17,559 --> 00:40:20,679 mind for I don't know, a week and a half straight, 832 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,599 Like I was so tilted and I had to play 833 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,119 napt and I was like, stop talking to me about this. 834 00:40:25,199 --> 00:40:26,920 I can't handle it. I want to focus on poker. 835 00:40:27,079 --> 00:40:29,159 Like this is absurd that you're even spending this money. 836 00:40:29,199 --> 00:40:31,519 Don't try and justify with me. You're like, it's a 837 00:40:31,599 --> 00:40:36,800 whole thing. It's a whole thing. So yeah, anyway, twenty 838 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,960 five hundred dollars for fucking bravocn is app. I said, 839 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,519 that's why all those people on those shows are rich, 840 00:40:41,519 --> 00:40:43,800 because they're charging twenty five hundred dollars for people like 841 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,400 you to go to this fucking show that is out 842 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:51,159 of control. Twenty five hundred dollars, Like what what were 843 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:56,719 you doing? Like, honestly, what were you doing? Anyway? It's 844 00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:00,360 bringing back my negativity and in this bad energy and 845 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:01,639 I want to get rid of this. 846 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 2: It's gone, but you know, it is what it is. 847 00:41:04,079 --> 00:41:06,639 Speaker 1: Chef. Of course, she had a freaking blast, and I 848 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,679 love that she had a blast, and and I want 849 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,719 her to go to these things, but you can't drop 850 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,360 twenty five hundred dollars on me with six days notice. 851 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:13,840 Speaker 2: Like that. 852 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,280 Speaker 1: We're not in that sort of financially stable position that 853 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:18,760 I can just be like, yeah, go ahead, here's twenty 854 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,800 five hundred dollars. Yeah, you know. And of course she 855 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,880 tries to throw the you know, well, you go play 856 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:25,679 these poker tournaments and bah blah, I'm like, okay, First 857 00:41:25,679 --> 00:41:28,599 of all, the poker bankroll is always separate. It's always separate. 858 00:41:28,639 --> 00:41:30,960 Then everything else we have to pay for, and it's planned, 859 00:41:31,519 --> 00:41:33,960 I give you well in advance, you know that that 860 00:41:34,079 --> 00:41:37,239 this is what I'm doing. Whatever. And again it's not 861 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:38,840 that I don't want her to do these things. I 862 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:40,800 definitely want her to do these things. But you cannot 863 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,239 drop twenty five hundred dollars in my lap with six 864 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:48,719 days notice. It's just absolutely absurd. All right, that's going 865 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,599 to do it for us on this show. We're basically 866 00:41:50,599 --> 00:41:51,880 getting kicked out of our own studio. 867 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:52,519 Speaker 2: Unbelievable. 868 00:41:52,559 --> 00:41:56,079 Speaker 1: It really is unbelievable.
