Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode oh the
Speaker 1: Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donnie Peters. His name
Speaker 1: is Tim Duckworth. As I adjust my mic stand right now,
Speaker 1: probably going to create some great audio for producer Rich
Speaker 1: Ryan to fix. But whatever, we're back. Baby. It's been
Speaker 1: a while. But it's December first, it is twelve fifty
Speaker 1: three pm. It is officially my birthday month. My wife

Speaker 1: year as far as I'm concerned. Wow, yeah, exactly. On
Speaker 1: today's show, we had a lot to catch up on.

Speaker 1: a bunch of PGT qualifying events that were part of
Speaker 1: that schedule, so we'll hit on those. Texas PLO round
Speaker 1: up finished up. Tim was down there at Champions Club,
Speaker 1: so he's gonna check or he's gonna get us up
Speaker 1: to date on what happened down in Texas. Austin, right,
Speaker 1: he's Houstons. I always do that. I don't know why.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I always think Austin. I want
Speaker 1: to touch on these other big tournaments that happened around
Speaker 1: the world, AP APT Championship. I'm probably gonna butcher that
Speaker 1: because you know, you and I used to go to
Speaker 1: the APPT.
Speaker 2: Quite a lot, so you never went to the APT.
Speaker 1: I've never gone to the APT. I've only been to
Speaker 1: the APPT and the A and ZPT. There you go,
Speaker 1: B s Op Millions wrapped up and then currently running
Speaker 1: right now WPT Seminal Rock and Roll Poke Roping I
Speaker 1: believe is the one that's running right now. I do
Speaker 1: want to just quickly there's been a lot of drama
Speaker 1: in the Twitter world of the past what two weeks
Speaker 1: now or so. Yeah, we're not gonna get too much
Speaker 1: into it, but maybe we'll just give some quick takes, right,
Speaker 1: you know, we'll just quickly touch on things. We'll move on.

Speaker 1: were wrapping up things. We did give away our podcast
Speaker 1: to the seat right, so that's done and dusted. But
Speaker 1: there is one more dream seat to be one there
Speaker 1: is and it belongs to somebody on Play Poker Go
Speaker 1: Poker gro and Play Poker Goro have teamed up to
Speaker 1: award a dream seat into the PGT Million Dollar Championship.

Speaker 1: purchase necessary. You do have to be twenty one or
Speaker 1: older because you know, you got to be able to
Speaker 1: come out here and play in the Studio US residents only.
Speaker 1: Full rules and details can be found at PokerGO dot
Speaker 1: com slash rules. All right, First things first, goll Ye
Speaker 1: Frock wins the NAPT Las Vegas main event. Now, this
Speaker 1: was not a PGT qualifying event. I don't know how
Speaker 1: many questions you feeled about that, but I think I
Speaker 1: feel two dozen you know what? Or you know is
Speaker 1: this PGT qualifying? Why isn't it PGT qualifying? All that
Speaker 1: sort of stuff. Anyway, the Frock gets his largest live
Speaker 1: tournament score. He wins five hundred and forty three thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Now he did make a deal with Thomas Boyven heads up,
Speaker 1: they chopped it I think even, and left some need
Speaker 1: to play for Boyven had a large chip lead throughout
Speaker 1: much of the final table, the large majority of it.
Speaker 1: It was interesting because I was watching the stream and
Speaker 1: Boyvin he took a large chip lead into the final table,
Speaker 1: and then I think when he got down to three handed,
Speaker 1: it was Boyvin e Frock and then Jen Shahati and
Speaker 1: Boyven asked to look at the numbers, which I thought
Speaker 1: was interesting because he had such a big lead, Like
Speaker 1: why would you why wouldn't you just play for it? All.
Speaker 1: It was a kind of a combination of Shahati and
Speaker 1: e Frock when Boyven wanted to kind of negotiate better
Speaker 1: terms for him because he believed he I have this correctly,
Speaker 1: if my memory serves me, kucy that he wanted a
Speaker 1: little bit more than ICM because of his chip stack
Speaker 1: and everything. But Shahati was like, you know, let's just
Speaker 1: let's just play for it, you know, let's just play.
Speaker 1: So anyway, they end up playing for it. Jen Shahati
Speaker 1: goes out third, then there's a deal struck between e
Speaker 1: Frock and Boyvin. E Frok ends up coming back taking
Speaker 1: it all down. So it was e Froc on top,
Speaker 1: five hundred and forty three thousand dollars, boy then second,
Speaker 1: five hundred and eighteen k Shahati third, two hundred ninety
Speaker 1: one thousand. Ekram Boskirt fourth satellite winner into the event
Speaker 1: and then went on to finish fourth. Ekram is a
Speaker 1: regular player around Las Vegas, made a final table or
Speaker 1: two at Venetian that we streamed as part of Venetian
Speaker 1: Poker Live and also Poker gro He took home two
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty four thousand dollars. Michael Burke PGC regular
Speaker 1: fifth place, Peter Muger sixth place, one hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: two thousand for him, Burke got one seventy two, Abdullah
Speaker 1: Akbarpoor got seventh place for one hundred two thousand dollars,
Speaker 1: and then Richard Green, also frequent some PGT events, seventy
Speaker 1: eight thousand dollars for him, seven hundred and thirty eight entries.
Speaker 1: Last year was eight ninety five this year's prize school
Speaker 1: I did have a three million dollar guarantee last year
Speaker 1: and this year. This year came at almost three point
Speaker 1: six million dollars. Last year was a bit over four
Speaker 1: point three million dollars. So those two numbers compared to
Speaker 1: last year, seventeen point five percent decrease. That's what I
Speaker 1: want to talk about as it pertains to the main event.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts, like, why did the field decline?
Speaker 2: I got four? Four reasons?
Speaker 1: Oh, four four, So that by the way, I like
Speaker 1: that you're bringing four and the reason why I like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: But it's never one thing I try to say, like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's it's because of this, and it's there's a pie chart,
Speaker 1: and like everything has its own percentage of the pie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, so that's how this So I'm happy you're
Speaker 1: bringing multiple things here that that likely played into it.
Speaker 1: Now we may not exactly know the percentages, but there's
Speaker 1: always a bunch of different factors that are to.
Speaker 2: Way go ahead.
Speaker 3: We're going to touch on two of them a little later,
Speaker 3: but two pretty big, impressive competing events. We're going to
Speaker 3: talk about Asian pokatur in Taiwan. We're going to talk
Speaker 3: about the BSOP that's obviously going to draw some of
Speaker 3: those local players to state. It's also lurid some of
Speaker 3: our players. When I say our players, i'm talking you know,
Speaker 3: Las Vegas slash America over to those stops, and that's
Speaker 3: obviously going to have an influence on another event we'll
Speaker 3: talk about a little later, the textas Payler around up.
Speaker 3: So those two things are pretty big. I think the
Speaker 3: third thing to me, and you know, you and I
Speaker 3: have chatted about this a lot in person. I've chatted
Speaker 3: with players about a lot. I didn't think the schedule
Speaker 3: was that good. And when I say good, I'm talking
Speaker 3: more about how it was kind of conducted, how it
Speaker 3: was structured.
Speaker 2: You know, the offerings was not good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think when a player wanting to travel
Speaker 3: here looking at that, They're like, you know, I can't
Speaker 3: play this event. I can't play that. I can only
Speaker 3: play a couple of events. It's not really worth it
Speaker 3: for me. I'm going to skip it. And then the
Speaker 3: fourth thing I think is is something I'm not quite
Speaker 3: knowledgeable on. Maybe you a little better than me, but
Speaker 3: the landscape. And when I said to Lanscap, I'm talking
Speaker 3: about Focus Stars, I'm talking about FanDuel And you know,
Speaker 3: we touched on it, like we just didn't feel there
Speaker 3: was as much promotion for this series in the last
Speaker 3: compared to the last couple of years. And now was
Speaker 3: that on purpose? Was that Pocos Stars saying, you know what,
Speaker 3: let's dial down the marketing dollars a little bit. You know,
Speaker 3: I'm sure if we could somehow access the data of
Speaker 3: satellite see winners online and and live. I'm assuming there's
Speaker 3: a big decline there too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think that last sorry, two years ago,
Speaker 1: they obviously had to make a pretty big splash. Now
Speaker 1: it was a little bit of a different event with
Speaker 1: a different price point, but they still had to make
Speaker 1: a big splash. Return of the napt It's coming back
Speaker 1: to Las Vegas all that sort of stuff, and then
Speaker 1: last year they go back, they go to more of
Speaker 1: an EPT model, more of the old NAPT model, the
Speaker 1: five K in event, three million dollar guaranteed price, well,
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. So obviously you've got to put
Speaker 1: a lot of marketing power behind that, and then this
Speaker 1: year maybe they just pulled back on it. I just
Speaker 1: I felt like buzz was a little bit lesser than
Speaker 1: last year, and that's probably just because it wasn't so
Speaker 1: in your face with the marketing, you know, actual so
Speaker 1: it was it was it was still a really good turnout, right,
Speaker 1: you know, but.
Speaker 3: Yeah, nearly eight hundred players, you know, you that's that's great.
Speaker 3: The actual on site marketing, let's just make sure we
Speaker 3: under it was still fantastic. The room's great to play in,
Speaker 3: you know, the branding at result World is still great.
Speaker 3: It's we're talking about leading up to whether it's on social,
Speaker 3: whether it's you know, they did a lot of stuff
Speaker 3: last year with influences and even like some pretty big
Speaker 3: Twitter accounts like was Las Vegas locally and stuff, so
Speaker 3: those additional marketing arms weren't there this year. Everything on
Speaker 3: side we're not talking about, it's just leading up to it.
Speaker 3: Online social et cetera, just built not not as there,
Speaker 3: not as much there as last time.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's also I know you want to talk
Speaker 1: about this a little bit more later, but it is
Speaker 1: very difficult these days with there's just so much poker.
Speaker 2: There's so much, you know, it's.
Speaker 1: It's it's getting pretty crazy, and it's it's good to
Speaker 1: see that the industry is able to survive through it,
Speaker 1: you know, like for example, this event, you know, it
Speaker 1: didn't it didn't miss the guarantee, It cleared the guarantee.
Speaker 1: You know, it was I think it was probably a
Speaker 1: bit more of a sweat than they would have liked.
Speaker 1: But still they made it by about six in r K,
Speaker 1: so that's you know, a fair a fair amount over
Speaker 1: you know that I would say that this doesn't fall
Speaker 1: into fake guarantee range because they didn't blow it out
Speaker 1: of the water finally, but it was again, it was
Speaker 1: probably a little bit closer than they would have liked.
Speaker 1: So there's that. Yeah, all in all, you know, I
Speaker 1: thought the event was good. I lasted a whole of
Speaker 1: like forty minutes in it, so that was also spectacular. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's very well played. You know, I don't like to
Speaker 1: wait around. You know, I either get in and I
Speaker 1: lose or I win, you know, one of the others.
Speaker 1: Moving on to the PGT qualifying events that were part
Speaker 1: of the NAPT Las Vegas. You had eight events, the
Speaker 1: ten K Mystery Bounty, the twenty K Super high Roller
Speaker 1: warm Up, the fifty K Super high Roller, ten K
Speaker 1: Half and half Nolan Holdham Slash Plo, twenty five K
Speaker 1: Poo high Roller, ten K Bounty, twelve K Quattro Knockout,
Speaker 1: and then the ten K napt high Roller First Up
Speaker 1: the Mystery Bounty. Cherish Andrews won it all topped eighty
Speaker 1: four entries She want to combined three hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars. She won one hundred and eleven thousand
Speaker 1: dollars from the prize pool. She went two hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars from the mystery bounties. She beat Nick
Speaker 1: Petraangelo in heads up play. Petra Angelo got almost one
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty two thousand dollars between prize, school and bounties.
Speaker 1: And I bring up Petrangela specifically because he then went
Speaker 1: on to win the next event, the twenty K Super
Speaker 1: high Roller warm Up, topping fifty three entries to win
Speaker 1: almost three hundred and ten thousand dollars. The fifty k
Speaker 1: super high Roller that had twenty three entries. Steven Chidwick
Speaker 1: topped all comers five hundred and fifty seven thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Thomas Boyven second place for three thirty four, already on
Speaker 1: a high before that main event score that we already
Speaker 1: talked about. This fifty k super high Roll took place
Speaker 1: before the main event, so all combined well over eight
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars just from those two finishes for Boyvin,
Speaker 1: who's had a really really great year, he had a
Speaker 1: smashing WSP does very well here at NPT Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: The ten k Nolanan HOLDOM slash PLO JACEAMU top sixty
Speaker 1: entries won one hundred and seventy four thousand dollars. Sam
Speaker 1: Soeverell second place one hundred and thirteen thousand dollars cherish
Speaker 1: and back at the final table She's Hot fifth place
Speaker 1: for forty seven thousand dollars. The twenty five KPLO high Roller.
Speaker 1: This event was i'll say needs improvement. Eleven entries, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was just a bad structure. It was
Speaker 1: scheduled for three days. I think they started him way
Speaker 1: too deep in chips. They only played a handful levels
Speaker 1: on day one. They even had to adjust the structure
Speaker 1: on day one. It was kind of a mess. It
Speaker 1: only got eleven entries at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: Sean Rafael won it for one hundred and seventy one
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. He beat Jordan Glazer, who took ninety two
Speaker 1: k for second place, and then Glazer, much like Petrangelo
Speaker 1: did to kick off the high rollers, Glazer went on
Speaker 1: to win the next high roller, top fourteen entries in
Speaker 1: the ten K Bounty to win forty two thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Then Glazer took second place in the twelve K Quatro knockout.
Speaker 1: He lost there to Sam so Overroll. Sam Soverll wins
Speaker 1: almost two hundred one thousand dollars over two hundred thousand dollars,
Speaker 1: topping thirty nine entries there, and then the the most
Speaker 1: well attended a high roller event on the schedule, the
Speaker 1: ten K napt high Roller Batali Zavorotnis I probably severely
Speaker 1: pushed at that one, top one hundred and fifty eight
Speaker 1: entries to win three hundred and fifty eight thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: It had one hundred and seventy entries last year. For you, sir, Yes, Now,
Speaker 1: part of our partnership with the NAPT Las Vegas. And
Speaker 1: when I say our, I mean the PGT, we gave
Speaker 1: a dream seat which fast tracked somebody into the PGT
Speaker 1: Million Dollar Championship. Who won that thing? And who are
Speaker 1: we going to be seeing in January?
Speaker 3: Well, we like we do on the PGT, he must
Speaker 3: have two cash's, so that kind of you know, disqualified
Speaker 3: or made some people ineligible to win this. So who
Speaker 3: actually finished second on the leaderboard, but he did have
Speaker 3: two cashes? Nick Petriangelo has both hands on that dream see.
Speaker 3: But you know, here's the thing, here's the kicker. And
Speaker 3: I've told some players that are on this leaderboard he's
Speaker 3: pretty close to the top forty. And we know he's
Speaker 3: going to Bahamas and we know he probably might play
Speaker 3: last Chance, so there was a chance that he naturally
Speaker 3: qualifies for the PGT Championship. So what that means that
Speaker 3: seat start rolling down next up.
Speaker 1: And the reason why you do that is because dream
Speaker 1: seat winners only start with one hundred big lines.
Speaker 2: Correct.
Speaker 1: If you qualify in the top forty.
Speaker 2: Do you have a lot more?
Speaker 1: You can have more chips based on your finishing position
Speaker 1: in the top four Exactly. The first person on the
Speaker 1: leader board, which right now is Alex Fox, and he
Speaker 1: would start with the most chips in the PGT Championship,
Speaker 1: second whatever, the second most, et cetera. So you'd rather
Speaker 1: than that. We're gonna benefit the player in this regard exactly.
Speaker 3: Next up Sam several Well, he's second on the leader board,
Speaker 3: so he's out. Uh. Steven Chidwick also in the top forty,
Speaker 3: he's at bin Wang one cash.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately he does not qualify.
Speaker 3: Next person on the list, Jordan Glazer four cash, is
Speaker 3: best performing player at NAPT when it came to the
Speaker 3: PGT qualifying events. But Jordan, we'll touch on him. He
Speaker 3: did down to Texas, had some results there. He's about
Speaker 3: four hundred points away from the top forty.
Speaker 2: Not sure.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure he was going to Muhamas yet. So
Speaker 3: he's probably, you know, not a favorite. But hey, I
Speaker 3: already told him keep the communication lines open. I might
Speaker 3: have to send you a message. He may also come
Speaker 3: and play PGT last chance. He's more of a PLO player,
Speaker 3: but he may come out here. So there's a chance,
Speaker 3: you know, he could score some results and potentially get
Speaker 3: in naturally too. But if Petranglo does qualify, he's got
Speaker 3: four hundred and fifty points, that sea would roll down
Speaker 3: to Jordan and then if you know, like it can
Speaker 3: keep going. Obviously, if he did both of them somehow
Speaker 3: get in, it's going to go down to Sam Laskwitz
Speaker 3: was just outside the top forty. Just somow he's in,
Speaker 3: Kristen Foxon and carry Katz sitting in tenth, not in
Speaker 3: the top forty yet, but hey, this is his backup option.
Speaker 2: So what about Cherish Wish?
Speaker 3: She Cherish's on thirteenth on the leaderboard, so significantly more
Speaker 3: down on this dream see little bit. But yeah, she's
Speaker 3: she's outside the top forty as well. So yeah, this
Speaker 3: is I though Nick, it's currently with Nick.
Speaker 2: It may change.
Speaker 3: We'll just kind of see how the next you know,
Speaker 3: what is it twenty sixteen events or something play out?
Speaker 1: Anything else stand out to you from this series? You
Speaker 1: can focus on the PGT stuff. I mean, what have
Speaker 1: you got to say?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 3: I think the biggest thing is, you know, we had
Speaker 3: three people knock up some PGT milestones. Okay, okay, So
Speaker 3: we had Steven Schidwick sur past ten thousand PGT points,
Speaker 3: he joins Alex Foxon in that category. We had Sam
Speaker 3: Several and Jeremy Osmond's pick up their one hundredth PGT cash,
Speaker 3: so it's three pretty cool milestones. And then we look
Speaker 3: at the leaderboard, we did have some big, big movers.
Speaker 3: Some people solidify, you know, their position. Obviously, Sam Several
Speaker 3: picked up three cash as he's he's now just looks
Speaker 3: like forty four points outside Alex Foxon. So that race
Speaker 3: to be PGT Player of the Year is going to
Speaker 3: come pretty pretty hot down this home stretch. You know,
Speaker 3: we had jos Mao move up in the top ten,
Speaker 3: Kristen fox And move up, Chidwick move up. A lot
Speaker 3: of these guys kind of solidified their position. And then
Speaker 3: you look just outside that, you know, top forty, we
Speaker 3: saw Sam Liskoy it's now forty first. Including all the
Speaker 3: little rules we have, we have Jeremy Osma's now sneaking in,
Speaker 3: so he's right in there, you know, obviously defending PGT
Speaker 3: Player of the Year, defending PGT Championship winner. So he
Speaker 3: is currently sitting thirty eight, so he's going to still
Speaker 3: do some more work to make sure he sleticizes his position.
Speaker 3: But yeah, some movers in the forty people just moving
Speaker 3: just to the outside. So did have a bit of
Speaker 3: a bit of a shakeup.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, I thought I thought the high
Speaker 1: walls were pretty good.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: I think going back to your point about the schedule stuff,
Speaker 1: some tinkering could be done there. And yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: all in all, I hope, I hope this event stays
Speaker 1: on the schedule. I really like it's I think it's
Speaker 1: got a decent time slot. I see decent now because
Speaker 1: as we'll get into some of the later stuff and
Speaker 1: Tim kind of touched on could be more challenging going forward.
Speaker 1: I also do wonder if this this letter or whatever
Speaker 1: from the Nevada Gaming Commission has anything to do with it,
Speaker 1: because they sent the letter to their belief to fand yeah,
Speaker 1: you know about the prediction market stuff, you know, and
Speaker 1: I want to say they mentioned Flutter in there, so
Speaker 1: does because Flutter owns poker Stars. Does that affect this
Speaker 1: event like it's it's a whole thing. So I guess
Speaker 1: wait and see on that. I would hate to see
Speaker 1: this event go. I mean, I want to see the
Speaker 1: napt evolve into a full on tour, not just one stop.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that they should be. I think
Speaker 1: they should be trying to do four big five K
Speaker 1: events a year different properties, culminate with the final one
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas, and then do a bunch of those
Speaker 1: Poker Stars open ones, right, you know, maybe do let's
Speaker 1: four to eight of those smaller events one K price point,
Speaker 1: you know, and they kind of all feed in to
Speaker 1: those then majors. Like That's how I would kind of
Speaker 1: try and structure this thing. I don't know how many
Speaker 1: properties are are available to them, how many you know,
Speaker 1: partner properties they have. Obviously they went to I think
Speaker 1: it was Maryland Live for the Poker Stars Open. I
Speaker 1: think they have a presence in Pennsylvania. They're in Michigan,
Speaker 1: So can they find someone there to do something with, like,
Speaker 1: you know, all that sort of stuff. I don't know,
Speaker 1: we'll see. Would love for that to happen. And I think,
Speaker 1: again I've said it before, I'll say it again, the
Speaker 1: resort property is elite. It just kind of thinks that
Speaker 1: it seems like no one's ever there when I'm there,
Speaker 1: which sucks so quiet, it's so but the entire property
Speaker 1: is so freaking nice, and like when you go to
Speaker 1: play poker there for the napt you're in this ballroom,
Speaker 1: You're away from everything. Everything super updated, state of the art, spacious, luxurious.
Speaker 1: It's it's awesome. It really is. Even simple things like
Speaker 1: coming in off the highway, it's like right there, you
Speaker 1: don't have to deal with the strip stuff. Like it's
Speaker 1: just nice and convenient and freaking awesome. So hopefully just
Speaker 1: six a round. Let's head on down to Texas, where
Speaker 1: we had Stephen Hubbard topping three hundred and thirty seven
Speaker 1: entries to win two hundred and fifteen thousand dollars in
Speaker 1: the three K buying million dollar guaranteed PGT Texas PLO
Speaker 1: Round Up Main event. Tim loves to make seventeen words
Speaker 1: in everything.
Speaker 2: You're out at the PGT. PGT pot is not in
Speaker 2: the net.
Speaker 1: It's a PGT event, so PGT goes in the front. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's how it is. Hubbard dominated the final
Speaker 1: table en routes to victory. He moves up to one
Speaker 1: hundred one hundredth on the season long PGT leader board,
Speaker 1: so I guess within striking distance. But I'll also say
Speaker 1: not really because he's really only a PLO player, So
Speaker 1: you know, unless he's going to the Bahamas to fire
Speaker 1: some of that PLO stuff down there, I would doubt
Speaker 1: that we see him get into the championship. But hey,
Speaker 1: you never don't enough fun. Little run for Hubbard. He
Speaker 1: bagged the Day one B chip lead, then he won
Speaker 1: the first high roller. Then he went back and ran
Speaker 1: on to victory in the WSP main events, in that.
Speaker 3: Pail round event, the PGT What did I say, WSP
Speaker 3: main Event?
Speaker 1: I don't think I said that, rich check check the
Speaker 1: tame and ran on to victory in the main events. No,
Speaker 1: I don't. I honestly don't think I said that. Maybe
Speaker 1: I did. It might have sounded like that, but I
Speaker 1: don't think I said it.
Speaker 2: Actually, maybe he said Texas main event.
Speaker 1: I don't remember what that might So anyway, he won
Speaker 1: thirty six K for the high roller, winning one two
Speaker 1: n and fifteen K for the main event win. Now,
Speaker 1: the event barely hit the guarantee million dollar guarantee one
Speaker 1: million and eleven thousand dollars in the prize. Fool, that
Speaker 1: was a sweat. I want to know what the heck
Speaker 1: was it like? Because you were on property you were
Speaker 1: down in not Austin Houston for this event at Champions Club.
Speaker 1: What was what was the sweat?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: Every day you're getting up, you're seeing the numbers, You're like,
Speaker 1: are we gonna make it? You're obviously talking to the
Speaker 1: Champions Club like, well, what's what's that sweat?
Speaker 3: Like we started, I knew there was going to be
Speaker 3: a downturn. I'll revisit the reasons, but we were on
Speaker 3: track the first flight, Day one day, We'll okay, day
Speaker 3: one B.
Speaker 2: We were on track.
Speaker 3: When the when the turbo that night dinner run, We're
Speaker 3: a little worried. And then from there we just knew
Speaker 3: it was going to be close. We were just is
Speaker 3: this going to make it? Iss going to We're just
Speaker 3: trying to hit certain you know, benchmarks along the way
Speaker 3: to this million dollar guarantee. You know, we wanted to
Speaker 3: hit obviously keep it, keep it to six figures, keep
Speaker 3: it to a soft guarantee, you know when you include
Speaker 3: the ring.
Speaker 2: And it was definitely a sweat.
Speaker 3: Obviously made it in the last break of the hyper
Speaker 3: turbo level when a couple of people bust and jump
Speaker 3: back in and then yeah, look we did make it.
Speaker 2: It's it was pretty nerve wracking.
Speaker 3: We're probably going to make a few changes to to
Speaker 3: this event and even the one, the no limit version.
Speaker 3: But like, we ran really bad. And when I say that,
Speaker 3: when you're running these multi flight where you can put
Speaker 3: in a lot of bullets, no offense, but we're cheering
Speaker 3: for the people with the deeper pockets depends.
Speaker 1: But we want you guys to bust out what I
Speaker 1: have said.
Speaker 3: Them to that fest and I want you in for
Speaker 3: twenty bullets, but I want you to cash for twenty two.
Speaker 2: I want you to profit. I just want you to
Speaker 2: put in a lot of bullets.
Speaker 3: And look Day one A, every player that bagged Day
Speaker 3: one A, and you can as see anyone champions were
Speaker 3: good for many many more bullets, many many more bullets,
Speaker 3: you know. So we were very bad in that aspect.
Speaker 3: But it's okay at the end of the day, we
Speaker 3: made it. We'll make some tweaks going forward, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely missing a bunch of PGT regulars that have
Speaker 1: traveled there in the past. Yeah, I don't remember if
Speaker 1: Jeremy Osmas went to the PLO one last time, but
Speaker 1: did Gina Reim go to the po Low one last time?
Speaker 1: Red Lynn didn't. Then josh Ariean Deep like, you know,
Speaker 1: a bunch of bunch of PLO guys, slash PGT players,
Speaker 1: you know that you might expect there, they didn't make
Speaker 1: the trip this time.
Speaker 3: So yeah, this is a bumber when it comes to
Speaker 3: our players. You know, there's a couple of reasons. First one,
Speaker 3: you know they've done Houston a few times. They didn't
Speaker 3: want to go back. You know, they were playing in
Speaker 3: to go to seminoles, so this was a good week
Speaker 3: off before doing Seminal Bahamas all those events. I understand
Speaker 3: that we also had a lot of new new faces
Speaker 3: go Bryce Jockey, Chris Cossa, a couple of other guys
Speaker 3: get down to to there for the first time and
Speaker 3: they I played a lot of cash with Chris and
Speaker 3: Bryce and they loved it down there, so you know,
Speaker 3: it is a great spot. Also, we lost a couple
Speaker 3: of our regulars that we were counting on being there.
Speaker 3: They went to the APT event. And when I say regulars,
Speaker 3: I mean three or four local Houston players. Okay, right
Speaker 3: that a PLO that they only played plow decided to
Speaker 3: do a little a little holiday November, So we lost those.
Speaker 3: But the biggest problem was and you know, I think
Speaker 3: we're going to touch on this. We did see a
Speaker 3: big decrease, you know, we went from what is a
Speaker 3: one point four million last year to just hitting the guarantee.
Speaker 3: And it's a big issue in Texas right now.
Speaker 1: I am shocked at how many rooms there are in Texas,
Speaker 1: Like you see many. If you were to ask me,
Speaker 1: obviously before I like look deeper into it, I probably
Speaker 1: would have said, I don't know, six, Yeah, there might
Speaker 1: be sixty. I mean, it's outrageous.
Speaker 3: Houston is probably the most saturated with poker rooms. A
Speaker 3: couple of big ones and then a lot of little
Speaker 3: small ones. The problem with one of them, and you know,
Speaker 3: I'm I'm gonna call them out TCH is you know
Speaker 3: what TCH. I've played at TCH in Austin one of
Speaker 3: the most beautiful poker rooms I've ever played. And that's
Speaker 3: coming from someone that's played at the Winn and Aria
Speaker 3: and Venetian all these places here in Vegas.
Speaker 2: It's beautiful.
Speaker 3: The TCH that I'm talking to about in Houston, they
Speaker 3: all kind of like different ownerships, Like it's not like,
Speaker 3: you know, one hundred percent the same, and they are
Speaker 3: kind of you know, they set their dates for a
Speaker 3: main event. They had a twelve hundred dollars half a
Speaker 3: million guarantee on you know this week in November. We
Speaker 3: scheduled our event to be to upset that. Okay, then
Speaker 3: they moved their event over the top of ours to
Speaker 3: basically try and take us out. What that meant was
Speaker 3: you lose a lot of the fringe no limit hold
Speaker 3: them guys that would have played a bullet or two
Speaker 3: in the PLO. They're going to just stick to the
Speaker 3: no limit. You know, people that you know you would expect.
Speaker 3: You know, good Ray Henson, you know champions. He plays
Speaker 3: a lot of Champions, plays a lot of cash there,
Speaker 3: loves PLO, big support of the PGT. He decided to
Speaker 3: put one bullet in the in the TCH event and
Speaker 3: then he was going to play Champions the rest of
Speaker 3: the week.
Speaker 2: Well guess what.
Speaker 3: He bagged that bullet so he couldn't play any of
Speaker 3: the fights to Champions. Gabriel Andrade comes here, plays the
Speaker 3: PGT PLO series, big PLO player. He decided to do
Speaker 3: the same thing, put a couple of bullets in the
Speaker 3: no limit holder events so you try and get lucky.
Speaker 3: I think he put I think I heard he put
Speaker 3: fourteen bullets and once you start getting a few bullets deep,
Speaker 3: you start chasing those bullets. Of course, he actually didn't bag.
Speaker 3: He played the hyper Turbo Survive the Hypoturbo end up
Speaker 3: cashing in our event anyway, But you know, losing a
Speaker 3: lot of players there really hurts. Now talk about our satellites.
Speaker 3: Our satellite program was great last year. This year nearly
Speaker 3: non existent. Main reason was the people that play the
Speaker 3: satellites have all been lured to some of these other
Speaker 3: places because of all these new promotions they're running to
Speaker 3: basically acquire, you know, all these customers. And you know, look,
Speaker 3: we missed one guarantee this series, really small one. Otherwise
Speaker 3: we made everything TCH was trying to kind of break.
Speaker 3: Champions Club missed nearly every single day guarantee that they ran.
Speaker 3: They missed the main event guarantee by fifty k. So
Speaker 3: it's a really expensive customer acquisition process for them. And look,
Speaker 3: I think we can all be friends in Texas well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's kind of my point is that
Speaker 1: I've started to get this sense, and this is just
Speaker 1: my own personal opinion that the Texas market is really
Speaker 1: just going to eat itself alive. Yeah, Like I don't
Speaker 1: know how as many rooms that are down there can
Speaker 1: survive like this, especially if they're going at each other's
Speaker 1: throats all the time. Like I mean, I know Texas
Speaker 1: is a huge state. I know poker is widely popular there.
Speaker 1: I just I don't know how you can do it.
Speaker 1: You know, now you have you obviously had the WPT
Speaker 1: went down there, right, they had a prime event there.
Speaker 1: Basically circuits going there, so like it's only going to
Speaker 1: get more saturated. So I just don't know how much
Speaker 1: these rooms can survive. And then ultimately if the rooms
Speaker 1: don't survive, the ones that are going to suffer are
Speaker 1: the players.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know they can survive. And you know, you
Speaker 3: say like they're they're in they're in walls together, but
Speaker 3: it's not. It's a very one sided wall because just
Speaker 3: like Kia, you know when Aria Venetian, when the summer
Speaker 3: schedule is set by WSP that we all kind of
Speaker 3: talk and figure out where we want to do our
Speaker 3: machi events and we put stuff around it. You know,
Speaker 3: we we play, we work with each other to create
Speaker 3: so we can all benefit. Now for this, in this case,
Speaker 3: most of the Texas rooms do that. You know, champions
Speaker 3: have have a relationship with you know, the large up
Speaker 3: in US and some other rooms, and they you know,
Speaker 3: make sure they don't overlap, don't schedule on top of
Speaker 3: each other. But it's just this one room that's kind
Speaker 3: of out for war. Doesn't seem like they're going to stop.
Speaker 3: Maybe two months ago, Champions over a three hundred k
Speaker 3: in their million dollar you know, summer event or whatever
Speaker 3: it was called. They those dates are out and TCCH
Speaker 3: moved an event to be over the top of it,
Speaker 3: the same buying, same guarantee and miss they missed the guarantee.
Speaker 3: That doesn't do anything for players. If you're a TCCH loyalist,
Speaker 3: you'll play there. If you're Champions loyalists, you'll play at Champions.
Speaker 3: But if you just go different weekends, you both can benefit.
Speaker 3: I just don't understand why they're trying to do this,
Speaker 3: but kind of yeah, it is what it is, and
Speaker 3: we just have to deal with it. When you know,
Speaker 3: we're creating our partner events there next year, we have
Speaker 3: to take into account that, hey, this could be an sure.
Speaker 3: You know, obviously we haven't missed the guarantee of Champions yet,
Speaker 3: you know, four from four, How do we keep doing that?
Speaker 2: Do we need. What adjustments do we need to make
Speaker 2: to ensure you know we will be successful?
Speaker 1: Moving on to the three five K high rulers that
Speaker 1: took place, we already mentioned. Stephen Hubbard won event number
Speaker 1: one or one high Roller number one for thirty six
Speaker 1: kre on Brevin Andreatis one number two for thirty eight thousand,
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars, and then Bryce Jockey one number three
Speaker 1: for forty five thousand dollars. Quick break here as I

Speaker 1: talk about those big events. I just got a message
Speaker 1: that we have to get out of here because they

Speaker 1: That event was bananas.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 1: It was so bananas that Tim and I were likely
Speaker 1: should we go in. We're going exactly exactly. So I
Speaker 1: also talked to a bunch of players. I got some
Speaker 1: kind of first hand insights into that series over there.
Speaker 1: So we'll hit on all of that. But I want
Speaker 1: to get into this this family pot because it's our
Speaker 1: show and we can whatever. I got two little ones,
Speaker 1: so go ahead, you go for me first, Yeah, go
Speaker 1: and play the music, sure, go ahead, it's.
Speaker 2: Does family all right?
Speaker 1: What are you guys.
Speaker 3: I'm going to send this video to Rich inside. So
Speaker 3: I brought a treadmill a few weeks ago. Plot of
Speaker 3: Black Friday sales. You know, got early why you can
Speaker 3: run outside.
Speaker 2: I hate running outside. I'm an inside guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hate running on treadmills.
Speaker 2: I've set up my finance pod and get in the design.
Speaker 1: You know, you can take the pod. No, no, no.
Speaker 3: I like to watch because then I get distracted and
Speaker 3: I can get through, like thirteen miles really easy.
Speaker 2: Came in a big box, right, it's a big treadmill.
Speaker 2: Came in a big box. My son, who is nine
Speaker 2: and he's not autistic, likes boxes and likes forts. He's
Speaker 2: like a cat.
Speaker 3: So we kept this box that is seven feet long
Speaker 3: in the living room. He put all his all his
Speaker 3: stuffed animals. He put all the blankets in the house,
Speaker 3: and he made it a four. The video I just
Speaker 3: sent Ridge. He wanted to sleep in the fort downstairs
Speaker 3: a couple of different nights, so he slept in there
Speaker 3: and I took a video. So I sent that other one.
Speaker 3: You know, I think a couple couple of Christmas ago,
Speaker 3: we put a little Rubik's cube and he's like stucking
Speaker 3: you know, obviously you have to be pretty damn smart
Speaker 3: to be able to solve his Ruby's Cube and it's
Speaker 3: just been sitting there. He brought it to me two
Speaker 3: days ago, fully solved, and I go, did you do this?
Speaker 3: He goes yeah, And I thought maybe he peeled the
Speaker 3: stickers off. That would make sense, and he goes, I
Speaker 3: did it. I'm looking at him and he's like, got
Speaker 3: a straight face. I'm like, you cheated?
Speaker 2: How did you do this?
Speaker 3: And he goes, what are you talking about? And I'm
Speaker 3: just looking at him in the eyes and he goes, oh,
Speaker 3: I used a rublic a Ruby's Cube solver. I'm like okay,
Speaker 3: And then he ran away and I was like, am
Speaker 3: I should I be proud of him for that? Or
Speaker 3: should I be worried? And he brought it back.
Speaker 1: I really just problem solving in a way.
Speaker 2: I re jumbled it.
Speaker 3: And then the next day he's like, I sold it again.
Speaker 3: I'm just like, I'm not sure if I should be
Speaker 3: proud that he found a way to cheat all that.
Speaker 3: I mean cheat, I don't know, but it's like I
Speaker 3: was impressed that he somehow found this and then still
Speaker 3: so you still probably got to follow steps kind of
Speaker 3: like doing Lego to solve it.
Speaker 1: But that's yeah, amazing, No, okay, I mean it's like math,
Speaker 1: you know. Now we just type stuff in a calculator
Speaker 1: and we just move on with it. You know, we didn't.
Speaker 1: We don't really. I mean, yeah, we used the math,
Speaker 1: but you know, did you have a second one?
Speaker 2: No? That was two different yea.
Speaker 1: So mine, I tease this with you and Rich and
Speaker 1: it's been I think it's been two weeks now, three
Speaker 1: weeks now. So my wife is a huge reality TV
Speaker 1: show person. She loves Bravo, She loves the Real Housewives,
Speaker 1: all this sort of stuff. Bravo Con is their huge
Speaker 1: conference takes place here in Vegas. She went, I think
Speaker 1: last year or two years. I think last year. She
Speaker 1: wanted to go this year. Okay, I think she told
Speaker 1: me about it, you know, back when the tickets were
Speaker 1: announced or whatever several months ago. Tickets ended up snap
Speaker 1: selling out, you know whatever. We go out to her
Speaker 1: birthday dinner, her and I she tells me that, like,
Speaker 1: Bravo CON's coming up, and you know whatever, one or
Speaker 1: two weekends, we're gonna have to pay for the tickets whatever,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Okay, fine, cool. At no point had
Speaker 1: it been told to me what these tickets cost. I'm
Speaker 1: basically going off of what they cost the last time,
Speaker 1: which I thought was ridiculous, which I think was around
Speaker 1: three to four hundred dollars. But it's like, you get
Speaker 1: three days, it's like Friday, Saturday, Sunday, like, you know, whatever,
Speaker 1: this is what she wants to do. You know, it's fine,
Speaker 1: she can go do it. Three hundred dollars is not
Speaker 1: gonna kill me. So, like a week or so before
Speaker 1: the event, she tells, she's like, hey, don't forget, we
Speaker 1: have to pay for the Bravo Con tickets. We have
Speaker 1: to send so and so the money. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: how much are they? She goes twenty five dollars. I
Speaker 1: go twenty I go twenty five. What it's twenty five hundred.
Speaker 1: It's twenty five hundred dollars. What in God's name are
Speaker 1: you doing at Bravo Con. She's like, we had to
Speaker 1: get VIP. I'm like, what do you had to get VIP?
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? So she drops this on
Speaker 1: me a week beforehand. Now she then tells me that
Speaker 1: she told me the price, and it's this whole thing
Speaker 1: and I'm like, there's no ethan way that you told
Speaker 1: me the price, because I would have screamed at you,
Speaker 1: not like at you, but like just screamed in general
Speaker 1: about how absurd it is that you want to spend
Speaker 1: money for twenty five hundred dollars. I was like, do
Speaker 1: you know how much money that is? That's more than
Speaker 1: our mortgage payment for you to go hang out with
Speaker 1: these Bravo celebrities, Like, come on, this is ridiculous. You
Speaker 1: can't do this. Then, so she's trying to tell me
Speaker 1: that she told me the price. The whole time. I'm like,
Speaker 1: there's no way you told me the price, because if
Speaker 1: anyone knows me, I would have freaked out about the price.
Speaker 1: I would have told you no, like, if you want
Speaker 1: to go whatever, you know for the the cheaper version
Speaker 1: of the regular version, like that's totally fine. She's trying
Speaker 1: to tell me that she she's like, you have to
Speaker 1: go VIP. I'm like, you didn't go VIP last time.
Speaker 1: You had a freaking ball, Like, I don't understand what
Speaker 1: the hell's going on. Then she tells me that her
Speaker 1: friend that purchased the tickets, She's like, well, she never
Speaker 1: told me the price and I was like, I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: so hold on, So your friend bought tickets and she
Speaker 1: didn't tell you the price. Therefore your story does not
Speaker 1: count because you could not have told me the price
Speaker 1: if your friend never told you the price. Okay, I
Speaker 1: gotta trying. Then she also says that, well, so and
Speaker 1: so bought the tickets, and like I kept asking her
Speaker 1: for the price, but she couldn't give it to me
Speaker 1: because she didn't know. And I'm like, what the fuck
Speaker 1: do you mean she didn't know? She just bought like
Speaker 1: five tickets on her credit card for twenty five hundred
Speaker 1: dollars each and didn't know how much they cost? Is
Speaker 1: this person a billionaire? Like what is happening? And then
Speaker 1: she's trying to tell me that well, we can just
Speaker 1: tell the person we can't go. I'm like, you committed
Speaker 1: to this, it's a week ago. You're screwing that person
Speaker 1: out a twenty five hundred dollars yep. Who is also
Speaker 1: quite ridiculous that she doesn't know how much she spot
Speaker 1: for these tickets. So it's this whole thing for like
Speaker 1: a week. I'm like, I cannot believe you spent twenty
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars on a goddamn ticket to Bravocar. Now
Speaker 1: she had the freaking time of her life and great
Speaker 1: and listen, I probably and also at the birthday dinner,
Speaker 1: I bought her tickets too. She wanted to go see
Speaker 1: Brandy and Monica, who came out here at Allegiance Stadium.
Speaker 1: I bought her tickets to that. So she was like,
Speaker 1: I thought it was weird when you gave me those
Speaker 1: tickets knowing that I was going to bravocn and they
Speaker 1: cost that much money. I was like, so you didn't
Speaker 1: say anything, like you didn't tell me, And it's not
Speaker 1: so much that I was first, yes, I was pissed
Speaker 1: off at the price. I think it's fucking absurd to
Speaker 1: spend twenty five hundred dollars on that sort of thing. Now,
Speaker 1: if you would have told me, like in April, I
Speaker 1: could have, like, you know, done the thing, like I'll
Speaker 1: put two hundred dollars away like whatever, Like it's not
Speaker 1: not that big of a deal, like twenty five hundred
Speaker 1: dollars money to go to bravocon And then on top
Speaker 1: of it, it's even more than twenty five hundred dollars
Speaker 1: because you buy some things there you get some souvenirs.
Speaker 1: We got to get a babysitter on one of the
Speaker 1: one or two of the days. Like it's a whole thing.
Speaker 1: I'm just like, this is ubsurd. I'm like, do you
Speaker 1: realize you going to Bravo con costs more than our
Speaker 1: family trip to Disneyland. I was I was losing my
Speaker 1: mind for I don't know, a week and a half straight,
Speaker 1: Like I was so tilted and I had to play
Speaker 1: napt and I was like, stop talking to me about this.
Speaker 1: I can't handle it. I want to focus on poker.
Speaker 1: Like this is absurd that you're even spending this money.
Speaker 1: Don't try and justify with me. You're like, it's a
Speaker 1: whole thing. It's a whole thing. So yeah, anyway, twenty
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars for fucking bravocn is app. I said,
Speaker 1: that's why all those people on those shows are rich,
Speaker 1: because they're charging twenty five hundred dollars for people like
Speaker 1: you to go to this fucking show that is out
Speaker 1: of control. Twenty five hundred dollars, Like what what were
Speaker 1: you doing? Like, honestly, what were you doing? Anyway? It's
Speaker 1: bringing back my negativity and in this bad energy and
Speaker 1: I want to get rid of this.
Speaker 2: It's gone, but you know, it is what it is.
Speaker 1: Chef. Of course, she had a freaking blast, and I
Speaker 1: love that she had a blast, and and I want
Speaker 1: her to go to these things, but you can't drop
Speaker 1: twenty five hundred dollars on me with six days notice.
Speaker 2: Like that.
Speaker 1: We're not in that sort of financially stable position that
Speaker 1: I can just be like, yeah, go ahead, here's twenty
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars. Yeah, you know. And of course she
Speaker 1: tries to throw the you know, well, you go play
Speaker 1: these poker tournaments and bah blah, I'm like, okay, First
Speaker 1: of all, the poker bankroll is always separate. It's always separate.
Speaker 1: Then everything else we have to pay for, and it's planned,
Speaker 1: I give you well in advance, you know that that
Speaker 1: this is what I'm doing. Whatever. And again it's not
Speaker 1: that I don't want her to do these things. I
Speaker 1: definitely want her to do these things. But you cannot
Speaker 1: drop twenty five hundred dollars in my lap with six
Speaker 1: days notice. It's just absolutely absurd. All right, that's going
Speaker 1: to do it for us on this show. We're basically
Speaker 1: getting kicked out of our own studio.
Speaker 2: Unbelievable.
Speaker 1: It really is unbelievable. We have the PGT True Classic
Speaker 1: rag Stitches right here, this trophy, all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2: It's coming out well done.
Speaker 1: December second through fifth here at the studio, streaming all
Speaker 1: four days. That's the one we were telling you guys
Speaker 1: about for so long, that fifteen winners are gonna come
Speaker 1: out here and play at the studio, So be sure
Speaker 1: to tune in for that. I'm gonna be on commentary
Speaker 1: for some of the days alongside Remco. I believe it's
Speaker 1: Brent Hanks and Jeff Platt for the Final Table commentary.
Speaker 1: So we have all that coming up on the next show,
Speaker 1: will either be sometime during that event, maybe after the event,
Speaker 1: but we'll hit on this event, we'll hit on all
Speaker 1: the other events that we want to talk about, and
Speaker 1: you know, we'll give our takes on the poker drama stuff. Okay,
Speaker 1: so quick and easy. Again, they're kicking us out of
Speaker 1: our own studio, but we got to live with it.
Speaker 1: So for Tim Duckworth, my name is Donni Peters, and
Speaker 1: we will talk to you guys next time you
Speaker 3: Jay
