1
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: Hello everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the

2
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:18,160
Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donnie Peters. His name

3
00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:24,280
is Tim Duckworth, and we have breaking breaking news. Maybe

4
00:00:24,559 --> 00:00:29,480
saw brand new trophy, baby, brand new freaking trophy. No,

5
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,079
don't worry about that brand new trophy for the Poker

6
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:37,520
Masters events. This is badass. You win the purple jacket

7
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,679
if you are the series championship. So my guy Tim

8
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:43,359
here shrunk it down and made it into a trophy.

9
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:48,479
And this thing is heavy, man, heavy, very very I'm like,

10
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,600
this is heavy.

11
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: It's gotta be like Tim pounce right.

12
00:00:51,399 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: Ten. You think it's more? Don't they tell you, like

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:55,640
how much it wasts?

14
00:00:55,679 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: Yeah? I guess I could look it up. Yeah, definitely

15
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:57,679
look it up.

16
00:00:57,679 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: It's for sure more than ten. It has to be

17
00:01:00,759 --> 00:01:05,719
all right. It is Thursday, September eighteenth. Apologies if this

18
00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:08,040
does go out a little bit later than that date.

19
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,599
I just said, I know it is busy season for

20
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,920
our producer, Rich Ryan, but we did want to record

21
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,359
this before Poker Masters happens. It's not much later than

22
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,719
we had planned, much later than we had planned, and

23
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,599
that is my fault. But for good reason, I want

24
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,920
to satellite to the Poger Master's opening event. Baby, let's go.

25
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,239
So I will be in there for the Poger Masters,

26
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,040
a million dollar showcase. Snuck in there with one big

27
00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:37,319
blind all thanks to mister Jared Jaffey folding to me

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,680
at one point. I didn't look. I didn't look, so

29
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,599
I don't know. I never looked when when I get

30
00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:46,120
a walk So yeah, I just I never looked, So

31
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:48,040
I didn't look. So I don't know if I would

32
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:49,560
have called or not. Maybe I would have, maybe I

33
00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:52,000
wouldn't have. But anyway, I got in there, got my

34
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,640
five K seats, Nine people got seats. One gentleman got

35
00:01:56,439 --> 00:02:00,280
two K. So we are in the dance. On this

36
00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:02,879
episode though it is nine to forty two PM, we

37
00:02:02,959 --> 00:02:07,000
are going to talk about the PGT Venetian Las Vegas Classic,

38
00:02:07,359 --> 00:02:11,120
an event name in which I think Remco got wrong

39
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,400
twenty five times while doing commentary, the PGT Classic at Venetian,

40
00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:20,840
the PGT Las Vegas Classic at Venetian PGT Venetian PGT

41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,639
Los Vegas, Like all over the police Sgt. He definitely

42
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,840
always said PGT something he might have said Venetian Classic. Well,

43
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,120
he was all over the map with the name all

44
00:02:31,159 --> 00:02:33,599
over it. I want to talk about these Borgata payouts

45
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,800
that came out there. You know, there was some some

46
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,919
buzz on social media about that. We'll talk about that.

47
00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:41,719
We'll get into a little Poker Master's preview. Tim's got

48
00:02:41,719 --> 00:02:45,439
two code words for the for the podcast giveaway for

49
00:02:45,479 --> 00:02:48,360
a dream seat. He did inform me before we pressed

50
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,439
record that the giveaway is ending soon. So these are

51
00:02:51,479 --> 00:02:52,879
code words that you guys are going to want to

52
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:55,240
pay attention to if you want a chance to win

53
00:02:55,599 --> 00:02:58,680
a dream seat. So kind of short and sweet. Oh,

54
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,520
we had to do our fantasy. We got to do

55
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,240
our fantasy. I am absolutely kicking your ass in fantasy.

56
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:09,039
It's like four thirty three to one hundred or something.

57
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,319
I'm crushing. But we got to do the whole drop

58
00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:12,800
ad and that sort of stuff. We'll leave that till

59
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,000
the end. And I don't mean maybe I'll have a

60
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,240
family pot maybe I won't.

61
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,319
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Disneyland.

62
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe you can just ask me some questions about

63
00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:21,719
Disney event because like, I don't really have one thing,

64
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,439
so you know, whatever, keep it light. But that's what

65
00:03:24,439 --> 00:03:26,680
we're going to talk about. If you are listening to

full rules and details PokerGO dot com slash rules all right,

113
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:48,279
p g T Venetian Loss Vegas Classic. I want this

114
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:52,040
event to become a thing because I want it just

115
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,439
to be called the Classic, and like I want people

116
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,839
when they say, like, I'm playing the Classic, they just know,

117
00:05:57,519 --> 00:05:58,600
like right.

118
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,079
Speaker 2: But the Classic is like use quite a lot of

119
00:06:01,079 --> 00:06:03,199
places though, Yeah, that's the class.

120
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,199
Speaker 1: That's fine, Okay, that's fine. I think of the movie

121
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:11,560
Uh Side Out. Believe it was in the early nineties maybe,

122
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:14,439
but it was a movie where this guy went to

123
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,360
work for his uncle. He ends up trying to serve

124
00:06:17,439 --> 00:06:19,399
this other guy who's like a beach bum who's been

125
00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:21,759
running from stuff. They end up becoming friends. They get

126
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,439
entered into a volleyball tournament, and I believe they play.

127
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,800
The tournament that they play in is called the Classic.

128
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,120
I believe it is. We missed a bit with the

129
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,040
PGT Bounty Blitz, but I think we hit with the

130
00:06:33,079 --> 00:06:33,839
PGT Venetian.

131
00:06:35,079 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 2: And don't think the Manning Blitz was that terrible. We

132
00:06:37,319 --> 00:06:40,399
knew it was. It was capped how good it could be.

133
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,959
I think it was fine. I think it was fun.

134
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,279
If we put it back on the schedule next season,

135
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:46,319
we're just find a bit classic.

136
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:52,879
Speaker 1: It is called the Classic Classic, Yeah, the gold Quervo Classic. Yeah,

137
00:06:52,959 --> 00:06:57,199
I mean it's great. So the the PGT Venian Los

138
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,319
Phigas Classic was part of Venetian's Deep Stack Extravaganza series

139
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:03,480
as part of this entire month of poker that they're

140
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,199
doing over there. They got an MSPT event as part

141
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,680
of it. They got a whole bunch of other stuff

142
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,800
that they're doing at Venetian. But the PGT Venetian Las

143
00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:13,279
Vegas Classic had a main event thirty three hundred dollars

144
00:07:13,279 --> 00:07:15,680
by million dollar guarantee, and then it also had three

145
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,639
high rollers fifty three hundred dollars buy in each for

146
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,480
those All four of those events were PGT qualifying events.

147
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,680
First up was the main event million dollar guarantee, but

148
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:30,079
that was surpassed with more than one point twenty five

149
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,040
million in the prize pool. Didn't seem like much of

150
00:07:34,079 --> 00:07:38,480
a sweat, although it's always a swim. I mean, once

151
00:07:38,519 --> 00:07:42,519
I saw the Day one A numbers were eighty eight entries. Yeah,

152
00:07:42,519 --> 00:07:45,040
you know, I thought that it was pretty good and

153
00:07:45,079 --> 00:07:47,279
then obviously it built from there and it got over it.

154
00:07:47,319 --> 00:07:49,959
But it also wasn't one of those ones where, you know,

155
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,800
it ended up with two point five million in the

156
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,560
prize pool and I'm looking at you saying like, well,

157
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,879
why didn't we have a bigger guarantee? So I don't

158
00:07:56,879 --> 00:08:01,360
know this sort of price point is it's tricky in

159
00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:05,399
Las Vegas. I think it's tricky in ad Venetian specifically

160
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,319
as well. I mean they don't have a lot of

161
00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:10,040
this stuff. They have that big WPT in the summer

162
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,319
and that now they have this and then everything else

163
00:08:12,399 --> 00:08:15,560
is like eleven hundred and sixteen hundred for their big stuff, right,

164
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,399
So you know, I think that Tommy LaRosa, the director

165
00:08:19,439 --> 00:08:21,360
of co operations over there, would agree that, you know,

166
00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:23,240
this was a little bit of a step outside of

167
00:08:23,279 --> 00:08:26,120
their comfort zone. But it did come through four hundred

168
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,199
and eighteen entries one point twenty five to four million

169
00:08:29,839 --> 00:08:33,919
in the prize pool. The winner, Daniel Lee, took it

170
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,879
down for two hundred and fifty k I think a

171
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:40,879
pretty good uh first place prize all things considered, thirty

172
00:08:40,879 --> 00:08:43,960
three hundred dollars buy and he defeated Lily Coletto, the

173
00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:48,399
firecracker herself, Lily Coletto, and trust me, she plays quite

174
00:08:48,519 --> 00:08:52,679
a firecrackery. I mean she has some wild hands. Yeah,

175
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,799
like she just she plays just straight forward power poker,

176
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,840
just just goes for it. And it was good. Doug

177
00:08:59,879 --> 00:09:03,200
lay Lee, yes, that Doug Lee. Doug Lee from I

178
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,360
Believe two plus two fame back in the day, finished third.

179
00:09:06,759 --> 00:09:11,080
Doug Lee want a satellite into that event, finished third

180
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,919
for one hundred and twenty k. He won a satellite

181
00:09:12,919 --> 00:09:16,399
into this pogram Masters showcase. Just now as offin He's

182
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,759
just a satellite king. We had Daniel Marcus finishing fourth,

183
00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:23,399
We had Ryan Lang finishing in fifth, Santiego Santiago, Montes

184
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:28,600
and sixth and Jeremy Osmas and seven. Now, Jeremy Osmas

185
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,440
came into the final table with a big chip lead.

186
00:09:32,919 --> 00:09:35,440
He had four point four to eight million I believe

187
00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:37,440
was the number, and the next closest had around two

188
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:43,080
point five. I think. Yeah. He ran a big bluff

189
00:09:43,759 --> 00:09:47,639
like maybe the fifth hand or something against Daniel Lee.

190
00:09:48,279 --> 00:09:51,600
It went open from Jeremy with jacktan suited three bet

191
00:09:51,799 --> 00:09:54,919
from Daniel Lee from one of the blinds. They were

192
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,679
they were very very deep at this this fire final table. Everywhere,

193
00:09:57,919 --> 00:10:02,480
so Jeremy calls in position seems totally it came Queen high.

194
00:10:04,039 --> 00:10:04,639
Speaker 2: It went.

195
00:10:06,799 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: Check bet call from Daniel He check called turn turn

196
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,639
what I don't even know what the turn was. Then

197
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,639
check that call again and then the river was a

198
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,799
king and I went check all in and ace king

199
00:10:21,879 --> 00:10:23,840
for Daniel Lee and he thought about it for a

200
00:10:23,879 --> 00:10:26,159
while and called. I think there was a I think

201
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,000
Jeremy made a comment like right after the hand saying

202
00:10:29,039 --> 00:10:31,679
that he it was a bad river card for him

203
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,240
to bluff. I agree, I did not think he should

204
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,039
bluff that river card. But I think he also felt like, well,

205
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,080
I have Jack High, let's go for it. Not that

206
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,879
I'm going to be here, you know, questioning Jeremy Osmas's play,

207
00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:48,559
because the guy is absolutely incredible. But I did think

208
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,159
that that was, you know, not needed to go for

209
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,360
it there, but you know, he did, and it bit him.

210
00:10:54,399 --> 00:10:56,519
He tumbled down the leaderboard. He didn't quite fall to

211
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,519
a short sack, but kind of shortly thereafter things didn't

212
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,840
really work for him. He became the shortstack and then

213
00:11:01,879 --> 00:11:05,159
was ultimately eliminated in seventh place for thirty five thousand dollars.

214
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,879
Clearly not the result he wanted, right.

215
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 2: Of course not Nah, he was a little disappointed, but hey,

216
00:11:11,879 --> 00:11:15,000
we can say that elimination led to some future success.

217
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, at which will hit on, but it is important

218
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,480
for Jeremy thirty five PGT points. He's been well off

219
00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:27,279
pace for you know, last season, he was the PGD

220
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,879
Player of the Year. The guy could do no wrong,

221
00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:34,000
absolutely crushed it. In this season, you know, he hasn't

222
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,960
been able to do much right. You know, call at

223
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,639
variance whatever you will. You know, it just hasn't been

224
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,240
working out in Jeremy Osma's favor, and he's been outside

225
00:11:42,279 --> 00:11:45,200
the top forty for much of the entire season. I mean,

226
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,039
maybe he was in there in the beginning, but other

227
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,360
than that, he's been outside the top forty. So any

228
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,080
points that he can garner the better. And I know

229
00:11:53,159 --> 00:11:55,759
he told you that he was skipping Triton Jju to

230
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,679
play the PGT stuff. So you know, it's good to

231
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,919
see him make that run there, Daniel Lee. You know,

232
00:12:02,159 --> 00:12:05,879
he he said after that he's been going through a

233
00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:08,960
little bit of a downswing. You know. He he won

234
00:12:09,039 --> 00:12:12,799
an event I think it was in Manila. It was

235
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,240
like an apt Yeah, he won an event for I

236
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,879
think a little bit more than two hundred and fifty K,

237
00:12:18,759 --> 00:12:22,399
because this became his second largest career score and I

238
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,200
think his first ever live tournament cash was in twenty

239
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,759
twenty four, so relatively new to the live poker scene

240
00:12:28,799 --> 00:12:31,679
or at least not a recognizable face, but he was

241
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,440
able to get this win. I thought he played very

242
00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:36,440
very well both, you know, when we covered him on

243
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,480
day two and then also at this final table, he

244
00:12:39,519 --> 00:12:42,080
seemed like he had good command. You know, he obviously,

245
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,799
you know, was the beneficiary of that big bluff from

246
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,799
Jeremy Osmas and was able to pick that off. But

247
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,559
from there, you know, I think he controlled things quite well.

248
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:56,000
And yeah, we'll see what's to come for Daniel Lee.

249
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:57,720
I don't really know if he's going to fire all

250
00:12:57,759 --> 00:12:59,600
of Poker Masters. I would expect him to play the

251
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,600
showcase because it's a similar event, you know, multiply.

252
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,759
Speaker 2: He made it sound like he was he's up from

253
00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:07,879
San Francisco, so he made it sound like he was

254
00:13:07,879 --> 00:13:08,720
going to go home.

255
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: First and for a couple of days come back.

256
00:13:10,879 --> 00:13:13,879
Speaker 2: So we'll see tomorrow. Maybe he hops in the studio

257
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,759
kind of told him a little bit about it. He's

258
00:13:15,759 --> 00:13:18,240
never been in here, so it'd be good to see

259
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,240
not just him, but a lot of those players have

260
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,720
played the Venetian event come over here, you know. But yeah,

261
00:13:24,879 --> 00:13:26,960
we'll see for the showcase what happens.

262
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm very much looking forward to the showcase, which

263
00:13:29,879 --> 00:13:31,120
we'll talk about a little bit later.

264
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 2: Before you move on the high rolls, I want to

265
00:13:32,879 --> 00:13:35,000
talk about numbers real quick. You mentioned four engren eighteen

266
00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:37,519
entrance first time. You know, we touched on this last

267
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,279
episode that you know, for this price point thirty three

268
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,759
hundred dollars, the Venetian was doing a rake discount of

269
00:13:42,759 --> 00:13:45,039
two hundred dollars if you are on time. We have

270
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,399
seen the success of that here in the studio, and

271
00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:49,720
we wanted to see how it kind of works in

272
00:13:49,759 --> 00:13:54,200
the midstakes. Of those four hundred and eighteen entrants, just

273
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,120
slightly more than half were unique, two hundred and fifteen

274
00:13:57,159 --> 00:14:00,440
unique entrants. We had one hundred and eighty six time

275
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,000
across all three flights. That's two hundred and thirty too late,

276
00:14:03,799 --> 00:14:05,799
you know, that fifty to fifty split. We never really

277
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,639
see in these kind of events for us anyway, So

278
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,639
I think that says that, you know, this field, and

279
00:14:12,799 --> 00:14:15,440
you know, you can probably experience talk from your experience,

280
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,360
but field was although full of PGT players, there was

281
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:20,320
a lot of new faces in there, a lot of

282
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,320
players that were only in for one board that had

283
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,080
satellited and we gave I think we awarded somewhere about

284
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,440
twenty five satellite seats for this one, so I think

285
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:29,840
that was.

286
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: It was seven, nine, ten, twenty six.

287
00:14:34,799 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: So that was good. It was good that we saw

288
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,440
a lot of new faces, fresh faces.

289
00:14:38,039 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: And those satellites were two C guarantees, so well passed

290
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:42,759
was going.

291
00:14:42,559 --> 00:14:45,759
Speaker 2: To see guarantee milestone satellites and but yeah, I think

292
00:14:45,799 --> 00:14:46,559
that I think this.

293
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,159
Speaker 1: Was within those milestone It was a milestone.

294
00:14:49,399 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, very successful. A lot of our players were missing,

295
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,559
whether they were at trying J Drew, whether they were

296
00:14:54,559 --> 00:14:57,320
Adam Hendrick's wedding had a couple people just out of town.

297
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,919
Speaker 1: You know, it was like seven people in Adam Hendricks's wedding.

298
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: People just skipping because they were going to play you know,

299
00:15:03,759 --> 00:15:05,799
the showcase. So that's fine.

300
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,759
Speaker 1: One thing that I want to mention about the field

301
00:15:09,799 --> 00:15:13,080
and the numbers was that I thought that price point

302
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,720
we would get a few more of the guys that

303
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,399
I play with around town. Yeah, you know that they

304
00:15:19,879 --> 00:15:22,279
will play like in eleven hundred and sixteen hundred stuff

305
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,919
like that. I thought they would just kind of make

306
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,679
the jump to play the thirty three hundred. You know,

307
00:15:26,679 --> 00:15:28,159
I'm not going to name any names, but there was

308
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,759
you know, there was a handful of players that I

309
00:15:29,759 --> 00:15:32,000
thought we would get. Some of them did play the satellites,

310
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,480
but then ultimately didn't play the event. Some of them

311
00:15:34,559 --> 00:15:37,720
played the satellites want to see, but then didn't play

312
00:15:37,759 --> 00:15:40,279
anymore other than that bullet. So I just thought that

313
00:15:40,279 --> 00:15:43,399
that was interesting, and you know, because I thought us

314
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,559
lowering our normal price point. You know here in Vegas,

315
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,519
we haven't done anything lower than a five k, right,

316
00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:50,279
We've obviously done the stuff in Texas. But I thought

317
00:15:50,279 --> 00:15:53,720
thirty three hundred, you know, I know it's a step up,

318
00:15:53,799 --> 00:15:55,759
like a thirty three hundred is you know, more than

319
00:15:55,799 --> 00:15:58,720
double a sixteen hundred dollars buying. It's triple with eleven

320
00:15:58,799 --> 00:16:01,000
hundred dollar buying like it is is jump up, but

321
00:16:01,159 --> 00:16:03,440
you know, sell some action, you know, do that sort

322
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,759
of thing like you know, take a shot whatever. Like

323
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,519
So I was a little bit surprised with that, but continue.

324
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:15,279
Speaker 2: No, I think with everything how it played out, it

325
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,519
was very successful. There is a world where we could

326
00:16:17,559 --> 00:16:19,399
definitely run this back. Like you said, you want this

327
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,120
to become maybe a staple on the tournament calendar here

328
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,679
in Vegas. I think there is definitely a spot for it.

329
00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:30,960
And already looking into next year, I smell that, hey,

330
00:16:31,039 --> 00:16:33,360
could we see a PLO version of this? We've seen

331
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,440
our successful PLO is, we have our PLO series in March.

332
00:16:38,159 --> 00:16:41,320
Could this be could we do this there? You know,

333
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,759
like a thirty three hundred multi fight PLO kind of

334
00:16:44,879 --> 00:16:49,679
championship then leads into our PGT PLO series. So that's

335
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,360
what I'm kind of thinking about. You know, me and

336
00:16:51,399 --> 00:16:54,399
Tommy have chatted a little bit about, Hey, what's next

337
00:16:54,679 --> 00:16:57,440
on the partnership. So yeah, I think there's an appetite

338
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,559
for them, appetite for us, and yeah, only in all,

339
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,480
I thought it was a great a great main event

340
00:17:03,639 --> 00:17:05,039
and even the high role is that we're going to

341
00:17:05,559 --> 00:17:07,640
touch on with much better than I expected.

342
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,839
Speaker 1: Actually quickly on the main event stuff, I thought, I

343
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:14,720
thought the field is pretty tough on a hole. I

344
00:17:14,759 --> 00:17:19,519
thought Day one A was incredibly tough. I when did

345
00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:21,799
I play one B played one B.

346
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, one be.

347
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: But just looking around the field on Day one A,

348
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,519
I thought it was very, very very tough. Yeah, I

349
00:17:27,519 --> 00:17:31,559
mean that's I think that speaks to the climate in Vegas,

350
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,720
and you know, meaning I don't think a lot of

351
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,480
people like outside of the big WPT stuff, the WSOP

352
00:17:37,559 --> 00:17:40,680
of course, and really everything in the summer, it's just

353
00:17:40,759 --> 00:17:43,519
hard at that price point in Vegas. It's just it's

354
00:17:43,559 --> 00:17:46,759
out of people's comfort zone, right, And then I think

355
00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:49,240
it's a little bit harder for people to make the

356
00:17:49,319 --> 00:17:53,119
jump once they see how tough the field is. So yeah,

357
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,279
I thought it was a little bit tough on Day

358
00:17:55,319 --> 00:17:57,559
one A. The day I played Day one B, it

359
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,519
was tough. I had a good table draw, you know,

360
00:17:59,599 --> 00:18:03,319
I didn't make it through I think twenty three or something,

361
00:18:03,519 --> 00:18:06,680
went through twenty four and I got like thirtieth or

362
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,119
something thirty second, I can't remember. But my table was

363
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,960
pretty good to start for most of the day. But

364
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,920
you know, obviously the best players tend to you know,

365
00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:20,200
go deeper and survive and whatnot. So as things progressed,

366
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,880
it didn't get a little bit tougher. Yes, So I

367
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,480
wonder if that's you know, a little bit of something like.

368
00:18:25,559 --> 00:18:27,119
I just thought we would get more of like the

369
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,279
no insults here with the minor league players to play

370
00:18:31,279 --> 00:18:33,960
this event, and I think that that is something that

371
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,799
we should try and improve upon. Maybe that's enhanced satellite offering.

372
00:18:39,559 --> 00:18:41,480
You know, I thought the satellites that they had were good,

373
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,680
But can we do more of them? You know, can

374
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,119
we do more? Can we get them in there? Can

375
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,599
we do some different stuff? You know, put some bigger

376
00:18:47,599 --> 00:18:50,200
guarantees on them, you know, with the numbers that they

377
00:18:50,279 --> 00:18:52,920
got in those satellites, I think you could safely run

378
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,319
five seat guaranteed satellites and then you know, go from there.

379
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,920
So I was also thinking today when I was playing

380
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,960
this satellite, what about a satellite that's you know, all

381
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,680
satellites seem to be one in ten. Why can't you

382
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,759
do a one in five, like a big a buy

383
00:19:07,839 --> 00:19:10,279
in one and like for this one, like for the

384
00:19:10,279 --> 00:19:13,119
one I just played, that would require spending one thousand dollars.

385
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,359
So I think that's a little too much, right, because

386
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,680
once you get to five hundred dish, which the one

387
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,200
I played was five sixty to the fifty one hundred

388
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,200
dollars tournament, right, five ten goes into the price onol

389
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,480
and whatever. So but like once you expect people to

390
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,440
pay a thousand, that's a little bit dicey. But here

391
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,720
six hundred, yeah, I mean, you know, one five, Maybe

392
00:19:30,759 --> 00:19:32,559
do one of those, like I think that would be cool,

393
00:19:32,599 --> 00:19:33,799
that would work, right.

394
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 2: I mean I would explore seven and bring it down

395
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,119
to like five hundred, which is sure.

396
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: By the way, that was a great thing about the

397
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,359
event that it was seven handed the whole way through,

398
00:19:44,799 --> 00:19:49,640
Absolutely freaking incredible. I think people had a good time

399
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,319
at Venetian. I think they enjoyed it. I think they

400
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,160
liked the room. I think they you know, I mean

401
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,799
Remko and I have seen it a lot because we

402
00:19:56,839 --> 00:19:58,400
do a lot of the commentary over there. We talked

403
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,119
about it all the time. But just the fact you

404
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,839
can just park at Palazzo, go up the elevator. It

405
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,960
literally says poker room on the elevator button, which is

406
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,039
like unheard of in Vegas that they're actually catering to

407
00:20:08,319 --> 00:20:11,079
catering to a poker room. You get off the elevator

408
00:20:11,079 --> 00:20:12,799
and it's like one hundred yards to the room. It's

409
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,440
right there. I mean, the poker room is away from

410
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,559
the casino. It is in the Palazzo Shops area. I

411
00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:20,920
mean food is good, thereat I mean you have to

412
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,599
pay for it, yes, but I mean obviously you can

413
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,880
use your comps. But the food menu there is really, really,

414
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,440
really good. The streaming room, I think a lot of

415
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,000
people liked as well, you know that element of it.

416
00:20:31,079 --> 00:20:34,200
So yeah, just I think a lot of fun all around.

417
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,839
Just quickly before we touch on these high rollers. We

418
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:43,079
had John Reordan tenth place. We had Craig Mason twelfth place,

419
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:48,759
Dustin Ayinatti thirteenth place. Jeremy Becker remains hot sixteenth place.

420
00:20:49,759 --> 00:20:54,400
I do got to touch on Sam Laskuitz. Where did

421
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:59,880
he bust? Because he got absolutely freaking screwed. He lost

422
00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:05,720
aces to something I don't even remember what, but to queens,

423
00:21:05,759 --> 00:21:11,279
I think to Kathy Liebert, yeah, and then or maybe

424
00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:13,319
that wasn't then, I can't remember. But he lost with aces,

425
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:18,200
he gets those cracked. Then it was to believe, it

426
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,480
was to King Queen, whatever, it doesn't matter. He lost

427
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,119
with aces, he got him cracked all on pre fub

428
00:21:22,839 --> 00:21:27,079
then blind verse blind, he gets Queen ten versus the

429
00:21:27,079 --> 00:21:31,119
big lines Queens and I can't remember exactly how the

430
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,720
board went. I believe it was Queen ten x turn

431
00:21:33,799 --> 00:21:38,119
ten so philosopher Philas, I mean, just just absolutely sick stuff,

432
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,960
just ridiculous stuff. Kane Calls twenty fifth, Jeff Platt twenty seventh,

433
00:21:43,039 --> 00:21:48,599
Andrew Lichtenberger thirtieth, Josh Aria forty first, Land Entice fifty seconds.

434
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,599
So you know, a lot of big names ran deep

435
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,599
in that event, that main event. Hopefully, you know, we

436
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,359
bring it back next year and it becomes a thing.

437
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:56,880
I would love to do it again. I would love

438
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,400
to grow on that and grow our partnership with Venetian.

439
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,319
I think it was pretty big hit, a pretty big

440
00:22:01,759 --> 00:22:05,319
success in year one. So and we didn't just spout

441
00:22:05,319 --> 00:22:07,440
the guarantee too much. You know, it was close, yes,

442
00:22:07,519 --> 00:22:10,079
but you know, ultimately not really like worrisome.

443
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:11,319
Speaker 2: All right.

444
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: High Roller time. There were three high rollers. The first

445
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,359
one got fifty one entries, the second one got sixty

446
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,240
two entries, and then the third one got forty nine entries.

447
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,359
That first one was won by Sam Laskowitz, so he

448
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,920
busted in brutal fashion from the main event hops in

449
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,599
this one. Best vanilla poker player, vanilla tournament poker player

450
00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:32,519
in the world. His nickname is Vanilla. From now on,

451
00:22:33,519 --> 00:22:36,680
he won for eighty and fifty dollars. He beat Aaron

452
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,359
Mesmer in Heads of played. Jim Callapy got third of

453
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,279
Victoria Liftschitz and the money Jonathan little money, Joey Wiseman

454
00:22:43,319 --> 00:22:44,559
in the money. I feel like it's been a while

455
00:22:44,559 --> 00:22:46,759
since we've seen Joey Wiseman in the game on the PGT,

456
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,880
but he's back. Second one, Jeremy Osmas. He goes on

457
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,480
to win it, so redeems himself a little bit after

458
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,000
the seventh place finish in the main event, after coming

459
00:22:58,039 --> 00:23:00,440
in with a big chip lead. And then here I

460
00:23:00,599 --> 00:23:03,039
was reading the updates, I heard he battled Stephen's song

461
00:23:03,079 --> 00:23:05,759
for two hours of Heads of Play. They didn't get

462
00:23:05,759 --> 00:23:07,799
doneuntil like one thirty in the morning. Crazy stuff.

463
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 2: Both back on time registration the next day as true,

464
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:11,680
tremendous to do.

465
00:23:12,599 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: Ozmas won ninety nine hundred dollars song second, Jim Calliby

466
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,799
third again. Jim Colliby's just crushes. Shannon Shorre got fifth

467
00:23:20,839 --> 00:23:25,079
in this one. Jeremy Becker. Jeremy Becker still hot. So

468
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,200
that's what. So that was five out of six, six

469
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,759
out of seven, seven out of nine of the up

470
00:23:31,839 --> 00:23:33,960
until this point, of the last PGT events and then

471
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,759
he did not cash in the last one. So seven

472
00:23:36,799 --> 00:23:41,519
out of ten in PGT events post WSP for Jeremy

473
00:23:41,599 --> 00:23:44,359
Becker in terms of cat fire, that is on fire.

474
00:23:45,079 --> 00:23:48,160
Like I mean, the bad thing is is that he's

475
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,839
in these events that aren't awarding a lot of points,

476
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,200
so he still got a lot of work to do

477
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,000
for the leaderboard. But you know, it could happen. It

478
00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:57,759
could certainly happen. And then the final one was won

479
00:23:57,799 --> 00:24:00,359
by Craig Mason, who was at my table when I

480
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,079
played on a day one b in the main event,

481
00:24:03,799 --> 00:24:05,079
kind of towards the end of the day, but he

482
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,680
was talking about how he hasn't run up won a

483
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,519
poker tournament in like, I don't know, ten years or

484
00:24:09,519 --> 00:24:12,279
something ridiculous. So here we go. Craig Mason won. He

485
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,119
beat Andrew Lichtenberger in heads up play. Mason took home

486
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,200
eighty five thousand and seven. And for the dollars, what

487
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,759
do you got to say about the high rollers?

488
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 2: Better numbers then I thought we were going to get.

489
00:24:22,319 --> 00:24:24,799
We had a lot of non rigs playing, which is great,

490
00:24:24,839 --> 00:24:28,200
so that did help. Look, Venetian don't run these high

491
00:24:28,279 --> 00:24:32,160
rollers often, so the nuances that our players are used

492
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,680
to didn't quite you know, just one is free flowing.

493
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,240
But by the end of it, I think it was okay.

494
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,799
But yeah, I think they were great. The single day

495
00:24:38,839 --> 00:24:41,960
events we got decent numbers, got a lot of fresh faces,

496
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,319
which you know, the players were happy to see. But yeah,

497
00:24:45,319 --> 00:24:47,079
well you know, I think this kind of this kind

498
00:24:47,079 --> 00:24:48,680
of series where you have a main event and then

499
00:24:49,039 --> 00:24:51,440
just a couple of high rollers after it or overlapping

500
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,880
the final few day is kind of a good way

501
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,640
to do it. And I think this is a good

502
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,240
kind of template for whether we take this back to Venetian,

503
00:24:59,319 --> 00:25:01,920
or we take this except somewhere else, or we do

504
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,880
a p low version. I think this kind of short

505
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,799
and sharp and sweet format series is kind of ideal

506
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:09,880
for these players.

507
00:25:10,039 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: Well, Venetians definitely got to get it back. I mean

508
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,160
it was it was a great event, it really was.

509
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,680
Structure was really good too. So yeah, all in all,

510
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,599
I'm a fan. Moving on, code word, Oh you want

511
00:25:21,599 --> 00:25:22,599
to do a cord word now right now?

512
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,599
Speaker 2: Cod word right now? If you want to represent the

We're going to draw a winner. You're gonna represent us

518
00:25:39,279 --> 00:25:42,160
this two code words today, but the first one pretty

519
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,839
obviously was going to do Venetian. Very simple, Venetian, don't

520
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,160
even spell you guys, And how to find it. I'm

521
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:52,759
going to make it. Let's make it twenty five tickets,

522
00:25:53,279 --> 00:25:56,039
twenty five raffle tickets because you know, first prize tw

523
00:25:56,079 --> 00:25:58,480
hundred and fifty K. I think that's a good number, so.

524
00:25:58,559 --> 00:25:59,759
Speaker 1: I like you, that's an important one.

525
00:25:59,799 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's in point one. Use code Venetian. Get those

526
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,480
twenty five tickets. And if you haven't hinted, there's lots

527
00:26:05,519 --> 00:26:08,160
of ways that you have to follow us, follow PGT,

528
00:26:08,319 --> 00:26:11,160
follow up guard, all these things. Very simple, but you know,

529
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,720
getting there, getting the chance to win the Dream seat

530
00:26:14,759 --> 00:26:17,440
and represent us in the BGT million dollars Championship.

531
00:26:17,599 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: All right, Moving on Borgatta, they had a fifty three

532
00:26:23,079 --> 00:26:28,680
dollars bet MGM Poker Millionaire Championship as part of whatever

533
00:26:28,759 --> 00:26:31,680
series is going on right now. It's called like the

534
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,559
the Big Big or I can't whatever. Yeah. Anyway, so

535
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,319
this event they came out with it, you know, three

536
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,119
million dollar prize will guarantee one million dollar first place

537
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,839
prize guarantee, okay, which seems like on the surface, it's

538
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,000
going to be a little bit awkward.

539
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:46,599
Speaker 2: Right.

540
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,559
Speaker 1: It ends with six hundred and seventy players. So the

541
00:26:50,559 --> 00:26:53,640
prize pools three million, three hundred and fifty thousand, paid

542
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,480
sixty seven spots, which is ten percent, which which seems good.

543
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,119
You know, when you when you when you are baking

544
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,920
in that it's going to be so top heavy, it's

545
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:06,039
good to pay fewer spots overall. So I like that.

546
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,680
But first place one million, five thousand, which is thirty

547
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,160
percent of the prize pool. Second place four hundred and

548
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:20,359
two thousand, I mean, is wild terrible, third place two

549
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,559
forty seven, fourth place two oh six one sixty seven,

550
00:27:23,599 --> 00:27:26,599
one thirty one or two seventy five fifty one. So

551
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,160
couple things here. I want to know why first place

552
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,279
is a million and five thousand, not just a million.

553
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:34,480
So where where did that come from?

554
00:27:34,559 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 2: I tweeted out of that at how that triggered my

555
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,720
OCA so badly? And I don't understand what they did

556
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,160
at all. So honecesary. Mat I really don't understand it,

557
00:27:43,279 --> 00:27:47,640
especially since second is six hundred k less. Yeah, give

558
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:48,279
it to that guy.

559
00:27:48,759 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: You know, a min cash was more than ten thousand dollars,

560
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,799
which is it was right around double. You know, it

561
00:27:56,799 --> 00:27:58,519
was fifty three hundred dollars for the buying, So if

562
00:27:58,519 --> 00:28:00,240
you want to count, you know where you want to

563
00:28:00,279 --> 00:28:02,079
go fifty three hundred and then they want whether you want

564
00:28:02,079 --> 00:28:03,759
to go five k into the prize pool whatever it

565
00:28:03,799 --> 00:28:07,359
is right on double. I mean, I have another question

566
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,480
there is that it doesn't does a min cash need

567
00:28:09,519 --> 00:28:12,359
to be that much? And I know that you and

568
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,079
I talked about min cash is because you were working

569
00:28:16,079 --> 00:28:17,960
with a Venetian on the min cash for that, So like,

570
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,960
what do you think we don't normally do double?

571
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,599
Speaker 2: Do we? No, we definitely do underdouble.

572
00:28:23,079 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 1: And I understand that there's gonna be a lot of

573
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,559
players that they might cash and lose because they might

574
00:28:27,559 --> 00:28:29,920
fire multiple bullets. But then those are the breaks.

575
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 2: I guess. I think for this format it's I don't know,

576
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:35,880
I don't know what their player pool is. I know

577
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,599
what our player pools. Like, they want a big first prize,

578
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,359
so we would prefer to make the min cash smaller,

579
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,920
so that first second third there's more money up top. Uh,

580
00:28:45,079 --> 00:28:46,720
if you can tell me the six hundred and seventy

581
00:28:46,759 --> 00:28:51,079
players that playbable Goder or more local grinders, you know,

582
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,079
then maybe the double mincash is probably more on point.

583
00:28:54,079 --> 00:28:57,559
But it's so hard when you're doing this whole million

584
00:28:57,599 --> 00:29:01,000
dollars for first you know, which is thirty percent guaranteed.

585
00:29:02,359 --> 00:29:04,759
That makes it really tough to make a normal kind

586
00:29:04,799 --> 00:29:08,960
of payout. And I think when you set it up

587
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,119
like that, then this is drop pretty late on the schedule.

588
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,000
They you know, they saw a little window without us

589
00:29:14,079 --> 00:29:15,640
running VENETI and they kind of went over the top

590
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,720
of it. You know, if they had more lead up time,

591
00:29:19,039 --> 00:29:21,200
maybe they would have. Maybe they were expecting to get

592
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,279
you know, closer to four and a half million or

593
00:29:23,279 --> 00:29:25,200
something in the prize pool, where a million wouldn't be

594
00:29:26,359 --> 00:29:27,799
you know, too too crazy.

595
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: So but just can't you adjust the payouts so it's

596
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,200
not so insane?

597
00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you'd have to take it. You'd have to

598
00:29:35,759 --> 00:29:39,720
drop that men cash to say seventy five hundred ak, yeah,

599
00:29:39,839 --> 00:29:41,240
and then stop building up.

600
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: I was even thinking like the first two brackets, which

601
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,160
I think they did, like the first nine or whatever,

602
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:47,480
and then then there was like a four or five

603
00:29:47,519 --> 00:29:50,839
and jump like first two brackets just make them the same. Yeah,

604
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:51,599
something like that.

605
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 2: You know, that's what the goal is. Like if they're

606
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,200
trying to just like flatten out everything else, then you know,

607
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,000
but with this payouts, you know, you're always going to

608
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,599
get a chop and that's what en up happening.

609
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: That's what ended up happening. Can you look up who won?

610
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,319
I know the person who won chopped with chance corn. Yeah,

611
00:30:07,319 --> 00:30:09,640
I know that, so we need to get the gentleman's name.

612
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,440
But they did. They did end up chopping, which I did.

613
00:30:12,799 --> 00:30:16,519
Kushume me. Yeah, so shout out to Kashumi. They they

614
00:30:16,519 --> 00:30:19,279
did a deal him in chance and then he ended

615
00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:21,200
up winning the trophy, which is pretty bad as trophy.

616
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,480
It is that line. Do they also have the Borgatta

617
00:30:23,519 --> 00:30:26,160
Trophy because I like the Borgota trophy too. It's like

618
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,839
the wind trophy trophies on the trophy is that it's

619
00:30:29,839 --> 00:30:33,359
a replica to the Hotel. The original win trophy was

620
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,039
this before whin Yeah pretty, I'm pretty sure as well.

621
00:30:36,079 --> 00:30:39,039
And that's trophy. I when I was like getting into poker,

622
00:30:39,039 --> 00:30:40,279
I was like I want to win that truck. Ye

623
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,319
on the goal of this, I mean, I'm guessing the

624
00:30:45,359 --> 00:30:48,839
goal is to leverage a million dollar first place prize

625
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:57,079
for marketing. Yeah, I mean, which is fine, that's okay, okay,

626
00:30:57,759 --> 00:31:02,000
yes and no, yes, it's good in theory. No, it

627
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,880
should not come at at the expense of the player,

628
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,920
like you know, because and ultimately you didn't even get

629
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,519
a million dollar first place prize, so it doesn't matter

630
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,039
because you were never going to get a million dollar

631
00:31:13,039 --> 00:31:14,759
first place prize unless you got five million dollars in

632
00:31:14,759 --> 00:31:18,319
the price bool you just weren't because these guys were

633
00:31:18,319 --> 00:31:22,519
always chopping. Yeah, like you know. So I think that

634
00:31:22,519 --> 00:31:27,119
that gimmicks like this are, for lack of a better term, lazy,

635
00:31:27,759 --> 00:31:30,960
because why wasn't there a bigger guarantee to make a

636
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,400
million dollar first place prize more palatable? Why wasn't there

637
00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:39,119
more satellite or marketing efforts. I mean, you know, when

638
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,359
was this announced? Could it have been announced sooner and

639
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,039
there was more lead up to it to get the field,

640
00:31:43,119 --> 00:31:44,839
you know, just all in all trying to make it

641
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,119
less awkward at the top, because it just makes it

642
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,160
very awkward. So, I mean, I know, I think one

643
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,079
person who had a contrarian take was for oz Joka.

644
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,680
You know, he said, ultimately, if this sort of thing

645
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,119
gets more players like into agree into the event because

646
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,000
it's a million dollar first place prize, then that's a

647
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,200
good thing. I mean, I don't know if it did.

648
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,400
I'm not going to say a field of tournament, a

649
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,400
main event at Borgata that gets six and seventy is

650
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,359
like you know, breaking doors down everything. That's that's a

651
00:32:14,359 --> 00:32:14,960
good turnout.

652
00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:18,079
Speaker 2: Like you know, new players are attracted to like million

653
00:32:18,119 --> 00:32:19,079
dollar first prize.

654
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: I mean yeah they might be, but like did did

655
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,039
they have new players in there? How many players were new?

656
00:32:25,279 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 2: What attracts me is obviously a big prize for because

657
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,240
that means it's you know, more chance I can make

658
00:32:30,279 --> 00:32:32,559
some money. I would rather if you were trying to

659
00:32:32,559 --> 00:32:35,359
attract new players, you might want to say, you know what,

660
00:32:35,359 --> 00:32:37,319
we're going to pay twenty percent and you're going to

661
00:32:37,359 --> 00:32:39,279
get a double min cash. It's going to be worth

662
00:32:39,319 --> 00:32:42,960
double buying. Now that would attract you know, if that's

663
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,160
going to deter the pros and attract everyone else, you know,

664
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:48,680
you got to think of it that way. And this

665
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:53,079
this is more a pro heavy you know, yeah, like

666
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,519
endeavor and if that's what they want, that's fine, but

667
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,880
you know, I disagree quite heavily there with for us.

668
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I just thought it was interesting that

669
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,359
they that they did this. I mean, and you you

670
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,440
pretty much know, I think in today's poker landscape, when

671
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:09,920
you come out and you say this is a three

672
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,400
million dollar guaranteed event has a million dollar first place prize,

673
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,079
like we all kind of like, well, that's going to

674
00:33:14,119 --> 00:33:16,799
be awkward, Like you just know ahead of time right now,

675
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,559
unless their projection said one thing, and you know, those

676
00:33:19,599 --> 00:33:22,720
projections didn't come through. Okay, I get it, but you know,

677
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,799
I don't think you necessarily need to do you know,

678
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,720
kind of crazy stuff like this that makes it awkward

679
00:33:29,799 --> 00:33:31,839
in the end. Right So you know, it is what

680
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,640
it is. But that happened, and we'll see, I mean,

681
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,359
we'll see if it continues. I don't know if it'll continue,

682
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,759
but we'll see. I would like to forg Out a

683
00:33:39,759 --> 00:33:44,279
Poker to be back, like be a big player again,

684
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,279

685
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,119
like you know, back to.

686
00:33:48,119 --> 00:33:48,680

721
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:35,199
Speaker 2: Yeah.

722
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: Why should I care? Because I care? That's not That's

723
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,159
what it because we care.

724
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:45,280
Speaker 2: We care. Look, we've seen a big influx in popularity

725
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,440
for that five K opening event we started doing, so

726
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,159
I thought, how can we make this even bigger, how

727
00:35:50,159 --> 00:35:53,159
can we make it better? Let's try this multifly, Let's

728
00:35:53,199 --> 00:35:55,960
do something a little different. We never done this year

729
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,320
on the studio. We've never done a big guarantee for

730
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,079
an opening event like this, So, you know, we kind

731
00:36:01,079 --> 00:36:04,039
of workshops some ideas. Felt like this. This worked really well.

732
00:36:04,079 --> 00:36:06,800
This showcase idea two flies play down of the money

733
00:36:07,079 --> 00:36:09,400
come back on day two, play down the final table.

734
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,639
We see a lot of new faces that play the

735
00:36:12,679 --> 00:36:15,400
five K buy ins in the studio and then never

736
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,000
play anything else even if they cash. So our goal,

737
00:36:19,079 --> 00:36:22,199
all right, let's get a really really big opening event.

738
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,840
Let's hope some people win some big money and move on.

739
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,119
But also new for this as well is a second

740
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,159
five K, So we're doing a second five K after that,

741
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,800
and then we lead into like the normal series of tens,

742
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,079
fifteens and the twenty five K finale. And for those

743
00:36:37,119 --> 00:36:39,039
if you're listening, you've been here, you've seen the studio.

744
00:36:39,599 --> 00:36:41,800
We've got a completely different setup. We've never done this

745
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,280
for a no limit hold of major such as the Pokemonasters.

746
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,920
But there's no final table feature table there in the middle,

747
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:53,320
which is fourteen tables, fourteen tables there. We got one table.

748
00:36:53,119 --> 00:36:56,760
Speaker 1: Here, fifteen. I just can't believe it. Well this is

749
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,679
the fifteen oh okay, but in there because.

750
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,559
Speaker 2: We not only do we want we expect a big field,

751
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:06,119
we don't want any ultimates. So fourteen tables out there.

752
00:37:06,119 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: There were nine satellite winners today, yep, so you know

753
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,719
those players are in there. There's one there's another satellite

754
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,039
tomorrow night. Yeah, it doesn't have five seats guarantee as

755
00:37:15,039 --> 00:37:17,639
two seats guarantee, but still and then there's you know,

756
00:37:17,639 --> 00:37:20,760
there's another you know winner from it, the OCTOPI Poker

757
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,920
Masters giveaway. So we're going to have ten people already

758
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:24,679
in there for sure.

759
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Nick Sewan was the first player to register.

760
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: He was randomly today. Yeah, there you go.

761
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, we're trying something different and we think it'll

762
00:37:35,039 --> 00:37:37,719
be successful. Obviously, putting in guarantee is always scary, even

763
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,079
if it's the data says we should be fine. But

764
00:37:40,559 --> 00:37:42,559
I'm looking forward to it. I'm hoping it brings in

765
00:37:42,599 --> 00:37:45,519
some new faces. I'm hoping some people from Venetian come over.

766
00:37:46,039 --> 00:37:50,599
Obviously great success in the satellite tonight with nine seats. Yeah,

767
00:37:50,639 --> 00:37:53,880
it's just something different. Let's see how it goes. Throwing

768
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:58,159
the new trophies. You know, we're trying to appeal to

769
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,360
what we think is is the right I buying level

770
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,960
here in Vegas, especially with our players, and giving out

771
00:38:05,039 --> 00:38:08,280
regulars new people to play against, but giving you know,

772
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,079
people such as you a chance to take a shot,

773
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,119
you know, and play up a little bit and play

774
00:38:14,159 --> 00:38:16,360
in the studio and get to experience. What you know,

775
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,199
you've watched on TV, you know over the last few years,

776
00:38:19,199 --> 00:38:19,519
et cetera.

777
00:38:20,039 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: I will be taking a shot. I was going to

778
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,159
be taking a shot anyway, but then I won the seat.

779
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,679
But now you have a rebot as backup. I thought

780
00:38:27,679 --> 00:38:30,159
about that and I doubt it. Okay, but you know

781
00:38:30,199 --> 00:38:32,800
it was good to squeak in into the satellite with

782
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,239
one big got in there, you know again, shout out charity.

783
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,199
Speaker 2: First PGT event in the studio, right.

784
00:38:39,119 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: This is my first PGT event in the studio. I

785
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:45,239
have played in the studio before. I've actually had good

786
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,079
results in the studio. Two final tables, right, that is correct.

787
00:38:48,199 --> 00:38:53,480
I was going to say I've played three events and

788
00:38:54,519 --> 00:38:57,119
finished me actually actually looked at uthing. I've definitely finished

789
00:38:57,119 --> 00:38:58,159
in the final table.

790
00:38:58,599 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 2: The charity event, NFT event. You probably played the wrong good,

791
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,719
probably played the run good and I it's at least

792
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:06,199
three events.

793
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:10,199
Speaker 1: I cashed the run good. I don't know if I

794
00:39:10,199 --> 00:39:11,440
I don't know if I made the fund table.

795
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:12,159
Speaker 2: I don't think you did.

796
00:39:12,519 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: I foul tabled the NFT event. Yeah, I got knit

797
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,559
rolled that. That was ridiculous, first hand, right, first hand

798
00:39:19,599 --> 00:39:22,199
the found table. H Yeah, first or second of the

799
00:39:22,199 --> 00:39:23,039
final table, something.

800
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 2: Like that charity event. The one Tilly won is the

801
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,440
one good not on here. Did you cash in the

802
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,000
wrong good one? Then maybe you didn't cash. I mean

803
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,000
maybe twenty two Maybe.

804
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: I didn't cash.

805
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,159
Speaker 2: I cash in the Poker Go Employee free roll, the

806
00:39:40,159 --> 00:39:44,320
twenty dollars the way when we played that poker Employee

807
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:44,719
free roll.

808
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: No, I don't remember that. What year was this this

809
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,320
stupid run good thing. Not that it's stupid that I

810
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:51,519
can't find it as stupid.

811
00:39:52,079 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 2: It was not on your pay It was not on

812
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,199
your hand, and that means you didn't cash.

813
00:39:56,599 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: I could have sworn I cashed. I mean maybe it

814
00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:02,199
was the NFT thing that I catched. Yeah, I may.

815
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,960
I definitely catch the NFT thing. I definitely cashed the

816
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,719
One Step Closer Foundation charity poker tournament. I think Jennifer

817
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,800
Tilly took me out in the end. That would be great. Mainly,

818
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,840
I just want to challenge myself in this one. I

819
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,280
kind of feel like if I do commentary on these

820
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,880
events in these players, I have to be able to

821
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,400
back it up. That was like my motivation to play.

822
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,760
So I was like, you know what, I'll play this one.

823
00:40:27,159 --> 00:40:28,960
You know, I always kind of told myself, maybe I'll

824
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,320
play the opening event, the five k of like one

825
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,960
of the majors Masters USPO or Cup. What always turned

826
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,199
me off was that, well, one, I could never play

827
00:40:37,199 --> 00:40:39,880
the satellites, like scheduling reasons. I just couldn't play. So

828
00:40:40,559 --> 00:40:42,440
not that I couldn't like you know, sell action and

829
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,360
get in anyway, but the fact that they were just

830
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,320
like the single day turbo ish tournaments. I was like,

831
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,679
you know, whatever, but this one, you know, not that

832
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,679
it is a little bit of a faster structure, yes,

833
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,239
but you know multi flight like there's going to be

834
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,480
you know, it's not going to be full of just

835
00:40:57,559 --> 00:40:59,679
the PGT players like it's there's going to be a

836
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,840
bunch of others in there. So I think I'll be

837
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:02,119
all right.

838
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 2: Who I ask you a question, I ask your questions.

839
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,599
Who do you want to not see at your table?

840
00:41:08,079 --> 00:41:10,039
Speaker 1: Not see at my table because they're too good?

841
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,519
Speaker 2: And be who do you want to see at your

842
00:41:12,519 --> 00:41:16,239
table because not because they're bad, but because you want

843
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,920
to play, like you know, you maybe not idolized might

844
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,800
be the wrong word, but you want to play against them.

845
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,519
What you want to test yourself against that person.

846
00:41:23,119 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 1: I mean I don't want to see Andrew Moreno. Okay,

847
00:41:26,519 --> 00:41:29,400
I think he's like the best at this price point. Like,

848
00:41:30,199 --> 00:41:32,559
but they're all like I can literally name any of them, Like,

849
00:41:32,599 --> 00:41:35,760
they're all really really good. The thing is is like

850
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,639
like a Shannon Shore, who I think is also incredible, right,

851
00:41:39,079 --> 00:41:41,760
the thing is, maybe maybe this is just a you know,

852
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,960
mental leap that I need to make. But I play.

853
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,639
I've played a lot with Shannon Shore around town, so

854
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,159
I'm comfortable with that, you know, not that I haven't

855
00:41:53,199 --> 00:41:56,079
played sometimes with Andrew Moreno. I just I've talked a

856
00:41:56,119 --> 00:41:57,639
lot of poker with him, and I know how good

857
00:41:57,639 --> 00:41:58,880
he is, and I've watched how good he is, and

858
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,360
he's super aggressive. I mean in the Venetian event and

859
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:06,679
drowsed Upchenko gave me fucking fits the whole goddamn day.

860
00:42:07,159 --> 00:42:10,719
He was really really good. He did really unorthodox things.

861
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,159
It was such a headache to try and figure out

862
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,000
he feel. It felt like he beat me in every

863
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,920
pot that we played. So like I don't want him

864
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,960
at the table either. I mean, yeah, I mean I

865
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,920
played once with Nick. I mean, Nick's incredible. The guys

866
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,239
who I don't like, the players, not that I don't

867
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,920
like playing with them. The players that give me the

868
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:36,400
toughest go of it are players who are very good

869
00:42:36,679 --> 00:42:41,159
and super aggressive because and not only aggressive, but like

870
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,599
kind of loose too, Like they can just be in

871
00:42:43,639 --> 00:42:46,559
there with like anything at any like at any time.

872
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,280
But again and they're just like Agro and you you

873
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,599
kind of have no idea where they're ever at, and

874
00:42:51,639 --> 00:42:55,239
it's just it's just very tough. Whatever whatever happens happens.

875
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,199
You know. I'm happy to happy to be in the field.

876
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:58,960
I was gonna play anyway whether or not I won

877
00:42:59,039 --> 00:43:02,239
the satellite, but it's still good to bank the satellite.

878
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,400
And uh yeah, we'll see what happens anyway.

879
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:11,199
Speaker 2: Ten events, two five k's six No five ten k's,

880
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,599
two fifteens and a twenty five ten events, so ten events.

881
00:43:13,639 --> 00:43:18,280
It sounds like player the wins the most PGT points

882
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,719
in those ten events is going to win the real jacket,

883
00:43:21,199 --> 00:43:22,320
not this fifteen pounds.

884
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:23,280
Speaker 1: I saw it out somewhere.

885
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 2: I put it out there. It's on display near the

886
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,159
cashier along with one of the trophies, so people like

887
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,039
it's the first thing they see when they register. I

888
00:43:31,079 --> 00:43:32,400
want people to see this new trope and be like,

889
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,320
you know what, I got to get me one of those.

890
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,960
So yeah, I think it's going to be a really

891
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,679
great series. Obviously there's going to be a little bit

892
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:42,079
of overlap from Trying and JJ that's finishing up right now,

893
00:43:42,119 --> 00:43:44,599
so people, you know, some of those heroes probably come

894
00:43:44,639 --> 00:43:48,280
in mid series. But either way, looking forward to the showcase,

895
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,920
looking forward to a strong showing in that because you know,

896
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,480
if we can really you know, it's not smash the guarantee,

897
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,800
but if we can get through the guarantee pretty comfortably

898
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,519
without a sweat, it feels like we can. Definitely this

899
00:43:59,559 --> 00:44:03,440
can be the template for the next mages, you know, public, Yeah,

900
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,800
we can do this again, USPO, we can do this again.

901
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,199
This can be kind of the formation to how we

902
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,559
build the build these series. So I definitely need to

903
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,400
it to be successful. And like I said, I always

904
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,800
want to say new people in here, because that will

905
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,199
stop continue to build out, you know, build out, play

906
00:44:19,199 --> 00:44:19,519
a base.

907
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm listening. I'm very much looking forward to it.

908
00:44:22,159 --> 00:44:24,360
I think it's going to be a great event. Hopefully

909
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,360
I just run like the freaking sun and don't think

910
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,719
about a damn thing. That's always the best, of course,

911
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,840
speaking of Poker Masters, we gotta do the PGT fantasy.

912
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,519
I am kicking your ass. I have four and thirty

913
00:44:37,519 --> 00:44:40,079
three points right now you have one hundred. But we

914
00:44:40,159 --> 00:44:42,599
got a long way to go. Remember it's for the

915
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,199
entire rest of the season, so like anything can happen.

916
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,000
Anything can happen. And this this is the series where

917
00:44:48,039 --> 00:44:50,280
like you could have a thousand points by the end

918
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:54,480
and like just take over the teams. Right now, I

919
00:44:54,559 --> 00:44:58,320
have Jeremy Osmas, Jeremy Becker, Nick Shulman, Michael Wang, and

920
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:02,960
Sam Laskowitz. You have Alex Fox and Chino him Sam

921
00:45:03,079 --> 00:45:07,639
so overall, John Riordan and Michael Burke. In the last

922
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,960
ad drop, I dropped Adam Hendrix and picked up Sam Laskowitz.

923
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,760
Great job by me. You dropped Jesse Lonis and picked

924
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:17,840
up Michael Burke. Not a bad job by you because

925
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,440
he got some points. Yeah, he did get some points.

926
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,000
So Tim and I drafted five players each. Then we

927
00:45:24,079 --> 00:45:27,880
have some weird kind of rules where after every series

928
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,559
we must drop a player and we must add a player.

929
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,920
That must happen. And then for example, if I were

930
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,639
to drop Nick Shulman, okay, Tim can't pick up Nick Shulman, right,

931
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,719
that person is we can.

932
00:45:39,519 --> 00:45:40,159
Speaker 2: Trade a player.

933
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: No, I'm getting to all the rules. So that's the

934
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,000
first rule. The second rule is that you and I

935
00:45:46,119 --> 00:45:49,679
then freeze two players on our team. Right, So let's

936
00:45:49,679 --> 00:45:52,239
say I can freeze Jeremy Austins and Jeremy Becker like,

937
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,519
which has to do with the next part where you

938
00:45:55,679 --> 00:45:58,679
have the option to then switch one of your players

939
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,480
with one of my other two players. The person who

940
00:46:01,599 --> 00:46:03,800
was added after the drop is not eligible for this.

941
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,159
Last time, you choose not to switch a player, and

942
00:46:08,199 --> 00:46:10,639
then I picked. I took Jeremy Allison's from your team,

943
00:46:10,679 --> 00:46:14,320
which was a really good steal for me. Okay, so

944
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,199
I locked last time, you locked first. I locked first

945
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,800
last time, So you locked first this time? No, sorry,

946
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,320
we don't add drop first first. I did it first

947
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,840
last time. I dropped Adam HENDRICKX. So you got to

948
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,760
drop someone. And by the way, Hendrix and Jesse Lowns

949
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:30,920
are not back in the pool back.

950
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna drop. This hurts me. But Alex Foxon, Wow,

951
00:46:37,559 --> 00:46:39,599
he just got two playing too busy playing.

952
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 1: Match.

953
00:46:41,639 --> 00:46:45,199
Speaker 2: He might not come back. So I think, you know,

954
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:46,880
like I said, he's a try and he's probably gonna

955
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:48,159
miss a few events.

956
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:54,159
Speaker 1: So I do recall that I heard Kristen talking about

957
00:46:54,199 --> 00:46:57,079
going to this event and this was I want to say,

958
00:46:57,119 --> 00:46:59,599
during the summer maybe, but she said that they booked

959
00:46:59,639 --> 00:47:02,000
a one way ticket. They might go to Japan after

960
00:47:02,199 --> 00:47:05,559
all that, yeah, exactly, So you know, I have no

961
00:47:05,639 --> 00:47:07,639
idea if they're going to come back or not. But

962
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,320
I recall her saying that, you know, they they were

963
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:12,880
going to go to Triton, and they did book a

964
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:14,480
one way ticket and then they'll just figure.

965
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 2: It out from there.

966
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 1: So not a bad drop by you. I'm going to drop,

967
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:20,559
and I gotta drop Michael Wang.

968
00:47:21,119 --> 00:47:22,639
Speaker 2: You should have dropped him last time.

969
00:47:23,119 --> 00:47:24,760
Speaker 1: But you know why I dropped him last time, and

970
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,920
I was, I was, I was right in dropping him

971
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,320
last time, and I was right with exactly why I

972
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,760
dropped him because I thought there was a greater chance

973
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,000
that Michael Wayne could come back. Then there was a

974
00:47:35,079 --> 00:47:38,599
chance of Adam Hendricks skipping his wedding or something to

975
00:47:38,679 --> 00:47:40,679
play in an event. Adam Hendricks did not show up

976
00:47:40,679 --> 00:47:42,400
at all, so there was still a chance that Michael

977
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,000
Wang said the heck with Triton, I'm coming back to

978
00:47:45,039 --> 00:47:48,159
the States, And I mean he didn't, which is fine. Second,

979
00:47:48,519 --> 00:47:50,239
I think in the half and hour, yeah, I mean

980
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,280
he's he's crushing. But like the thing with Michael Wang

981
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,159
is like what if he was having a horrible Triton

982
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,719
Jju trip. He's like, you know what, I'm done, I'm

983
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,239
coming back. So that was my idea there, but it

984
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,599
doesn't matter. I'm I'm dropping him. Okay, So do you

985
00:48:01,679 --> 00:48:03,960
want to do the freeze first or the pick up?

986
00:48:04,159 --> 00:48:06,159
The pick up, I'm going to pick up the guy.

987
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,639
This is the pure gamble. Wait do I want to

988
00:48:08,679 --> 00:48:10,159
do this? I get a look at the list, You're

989
00:48:10,159 --> 00:48:12,519
gonna pure game pure gamble.

990
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 2: Because I'm so far behind. I know he's he's mentally

991
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,760
feeling good, he's refreshed.

992
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: I don't even know what this means.

993

Speaker 1: Now? You can swap?

1014
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can. Now you're not gonna swap. I can't

1015
00:49:22,559 --> 00:49:24,480
swap with like Lucky Chew. He's out right.

1016
00:49:24,559 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: You can't stop Lucky Chewi. You can either you can

1017
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:32,039
either give me John Riordan or Michael Burke for either

1018
00:49:32,159 --> 00:49:36,039
Jeremy Becker or Sam Laskuwitz. Okay, that's what you can do,

1019
00:49:37,159 --> 00:49:41,000
and then I can obviously do vice versa. And then

1020
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,079
once you swap, I can't swap back by the way,

1021
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:44,800
like that person's gone.

1022
00:49:45,599 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 2: Ah, this is pretty tough. Why don't you go first?

1023
00:49:49,079 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: Why don't I go first? Jesus?

1024
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,639
Speaker 2: Because I don't know if I want to swap.

1025
00:49:55,519 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 1: Buddy, you gotta go first. This is the this is

1026
00:49:58,960 --> 00:49:59,360
the rule.

1027
00:50:01,159 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 2: Jordan's gonna play everything, Burke's gonna play everything.

1028
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:07,079
Speaker 1: Beck Yeah, but it's not necessarily if they're gonna play everything,

1029
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,320
it's do you think they're gonna do well? You know,

1030
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,159
like I mean, maybe you see someone on the other

1031
00:50:12,199 --> 00:50:14,199
team that that might do do you think might do

1032
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,239
better than the person on your team?

1033
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:20,039
Speaker 2: Beck is running so hot that he's he's something due

1034
00:50:20,039 --> 00:50:23,719
to be cold, right, But if I take becka that's

1035
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:25,760
my my other argument. He's running runing intu audio.

1036
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,320
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean there's a reason I didn't look well.

1037
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:34,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I'm okay rolling out with John Reordan and Burke.

1038
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 1: But if you want to switch, is that your final?

1039
00:50:36,559 --> 00:50:38,199
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, if you switch, I'm okay to it.

1040

00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,760
Speaker 1: You said you had one by the way, and you

1054
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:38,719
were like, I'm not gonna share it because I'm gonna

1055
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:39,760
wait till you go to Disneyland.

1056
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 2: I forgot what it was, but I can think of something.

1057
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, I went to Disneyland with the kids.

1058
00:51:47,519 --> 00:51:52,039
It was a lot of fun. It was ungodly hot there.

1059
00:51:52,639 --> 00:51:54,880
This might this might not be exactly like a family thing.

1060
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,239
It might just be more about my life. So whatever,

1061
00:51:58,159 --> 00:52:00,679
it's my podcast. I'll do what I want. It was

1062
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:04,199
it was eighty five degrees, but it felt like it

1063
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,079
was one hundred and twenty. It was unreal. I did

1064
00:52:07,079 --> 00:52:10,039
get the visit with producer Rich Ryan, so shout out

1065
00:52:10,079 --> 00:52:11,639
to that. That was fun. He had us over to

1066
00:52:11,679 --> 00:52:17,440
his place and cooked us some nice burgers and wings. Credible. Yeah,

1067
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:21,440
I mean, the funny thing is about Disneyland is the

1068
00:52:21,559 --> 00:52:24,760
adult people that go like without kids, that are.

1069
00:52:24,639 --> 00:52:26,159
Speaker 2: Just like big to a fans.

1070
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 1: There was one, there was it was definitely two people,

1071
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,119
might have been three. I can't remember. It was three.

1072
00:52:33,159 --> 00:52:36,559
So my daughter wanted to meet the princesses. Okay, so

1073
00:52:36,599 --> 00:52:38,840
you go to this one thing and you can like

1074
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:41,400
go inside and there's like three. You're like in this

1075
00:52:41,519 --> 00:52:44,559
like castle or the house or whatever, and you meet

1076
00:52:44,559 --> 00:52:48,639
three of the princesses. Right, she met Anna from Frozen,

1077
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:53,599
she met Cinderella, and she met Sleeping Beauty. Okay, it

1078
00:52:53,679 --> 00:52:57,360
was either Sleeping Beauty or Cinderella. But you like you

1079
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,400
go and you meet and you can tell you're in

1080
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,679
like this room that broken up into threes, and like

1081
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,840
there's walls, like you kind of walk into one part.

1082
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,239
It's just that that princess, you meet them, you do

1083
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,719
photos whatever, you go out to the next one, but

1084
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:10,760
like you go behind a wall, so like there's only

1085
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:12,480
like really one person in the thing at one time,

1086
00:53:12,519 --> 00:53:14,559
but like there's there's a tiny bit of a line,

1087
00:53:14,599 --> 00:53:16,440
like sometimes you'll be waiting while the person's talking to

1088
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:20,119
the princess whatever. There's this group of women. One of

1089
00:53:20,159 --> 00:53:25,519
them is pregnant, and they like want I think it

1090
00:53:25,559 --> 00:53:28,800
was sleeping Beauty or Cinderella like to bless the baby,

1091
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,159
like put her hand on the belly, like this whole thing.

1092
00:53:32,199 --> 00:53:36,519
Then they had her sign a onesie of the of

1093
00:53:36,599 --> 00:53:38,599
the baby and they were like they were like when

1094
00:53:38,639 --> 00:53:42,199
the baby and go on the real princess, right, buddy,

1095
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:44,880
this was out there. They're like, when the baby's born,

1096
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,639
we're gonna come back here and the baby will be

1097
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:49,880
And I'm like, what, like, what are what are we

1098
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,880
doing here? I mean, I know, like it's Disneyland. It's

1099
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:55,519
the happiest place on earth. You know, adults tend to

1100
00:53:55,559 --> 00:53:58,320
be you know, kids a little bit in there. But

1101
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:01,719
it's like it's kind of weird. Okay, it's kind of

1102
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:05,239
weird the way that some of these people act in Disneyland.

1103
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,960
You know. I'm all for, like, I enjoy it. I

1104
00:54:08,079 --> 00:54:10,760
like Disney stuff, you know, I'm into it. I obviously

1105
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:12,280
grew up on a lot of Disney stuff, So there's

1106
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:13,199
some nostalgia there.

1107
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 2: I get it.

1108
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,519
Speaker 1: My wife loves it as well, you know, but like,

1109
00:54:17,559 --> 00:54:19,760
I mean I'll wear a shirt, my wife will wear

1110
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:21,880
a shirt, she'll have the Disney years on, like like

1111
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:23,719
but that's like kind of the extent of it, but

1112
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:27,159
like some people are just like they're a bit over

1113
00:54:27,199 --> 00:54:29,639
the top, and I think it's a little bit weird.

1114
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:34,480
My son was petrified of everything. He's two years old.

1115
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:38,880
He no, he went on some. He went He definitely

1116
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,920
went on some. Every time he went on the ride,

1117
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:45,719
he like we would go on to like like the

1118
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:48,639
the Cars Won with Mader where like you do in

1119
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,519
like this freaking tow truck or whatever and it like

1120
00:54:50,519 --> 00:54:52,320
spins you around or whatever and like you sit down.

1121
00:54:52,599 --> 00:54:56,079
He'd immediately start screaming, but then like once the ride started,

1122
00:54:56,079 --> 00:54:57,559
he got a little bit better. Not that he was

1123
00:54:57,599 --> 00:55:00,639
like smiling and loving it, but he was calm. Daughter

1124
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,480
loved everything. She was screaming and yelling. There's this, there's that,

1125
00:55:03,519 --> 00:55:06,079
there's goofy, there's like all over the place. She loved

1126
00:55:06,119 --> 00:55:08,639
the whole thing. She's she's four, so she's just totally

1127
00:55:08,679 --> 00:55:11,639
in for it. But yeah, but he like we did

1128
00:55:11,679 --> 00:55:16,519
like one of those family breakfasts, you know, where you

1129
00:55:16,559 --> 00:55:19,280
can meet the thing and they're all at the restaurant

1130
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:22,119
and whatever, and yeah, my son was like he was

1131
00:55:22,199 --> 00:55:24,719
not having it. He would like them from Afar from

1132
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,039
like five to ten feet away, but if you tried

1133
00:55:27,079 --> 00:55:31,360
to get clothes immediately, screaming, immediately screaming. It wasn't till

1134
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:35,519
the third day that he finally kind of warmed up

1135
00:55:35,559 --> 00:55:37,800
to them a little bit. So I just wanted to

1136
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:42,000
know how much you spent, So how much you like, Yeah,

1137
00:55:42,119 --> 00:55:44,679
I don't know. I mean we got a deal through Costco. Okay,

1138
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,639
we got three day park hopper passes for what I

1139
00:55:47,679 --> 00:55:49,400
thought was a good price. We didn't stay at a

1140
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:52,559
Disneyland hotel because we did stay at a Disneyland hotel

1141
00:55:52,599 --> 00:55:55,000
the first time we went when my daughter turned two,

1142
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:57,639
and the plan was when she turned two, we were

1143
00:55:57,639 --> 00:55:59,440
gonna do it. Then when my son turned to we

1144
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,199
were gonna go. Right. They're kind of that old they

1145
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:05,159
can kind of understand things then, you know whatever. And

1146
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,559
it was great because when you stay at Disneyland Hotel,

1147
00:56:07,639 --> 00:56:10,559
like you're right there, you get early access to the

1148
00:56:10,599 --> 00:56:12,119
park for like an hour an hour and a half

1149
00:56:12,159 --> 00:56:14,519
before everyone else gets in, So that was awesome. The

1150
00:56:14,559 --> 00:56:18,320
prices this time around were fucking outrageous, like out of

1151
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:20,360
like a thousand dollars a night. I was like, this

1152
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,880
is the dumbest shit I've ever seen. But the Disney

1153
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:24,880
like the Disneyland hotels, I think there's three of them.

1154
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,119
So we didn't stay there. We stayed right across the street.

1155
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:30,159
It was maybe a twelve minute walk from our hotel

1156
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:32,880
into the park. So it was it was great. I

1157
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:36,400
was pleasantly surprised with the prices of the food and

1158
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:40,280
stuff inside Disneyland. Okay, like it wasn't that bad. It was.

1159
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,480
It was it was reasonable, you know, I thought, you know,

1160
00:56:42,519 --> 00:56:43,960
I'm like great, Like I'm gonna buy a hot dog,

1161
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,039
It's gonna cost me thirty five dollars. Like, I mean,

1162
00:56:46,079 --> 00:56:48,119
they were they were a little bit expensive, but like

1163
00:56:48,159 --> 00:56:52,280
they weren't egregious. And yeah, but what I'll say is

1164
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:56,880
that the food in Disneyland sucks. Okay, absolutely sucks. Like

1165
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,599
in Disneyland in California Adventure, it's just bad. Most of

1166
00:56:59,639 --> 00:57:02,400
the time. We left the park and went to Downtown

1167
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:04,199
Disney which is right there. They have a lot of

1168
00:57:04,199 --> 00:57:08,239
restaurants just just I mean, the prices are similar, but

1169
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,199
it's just way better food, way way better food. The

1170
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:15,559
food inside Disneyland and California Adventure is just like it's

1171
00:57:15,639 --> 00:57:20,400
just it's like normal theme park food. Like there's chicken fingers,

1172
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:24,800
there's onion rings, there's you know, hot dogs. Like, it's

1173
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,000
just not that good. Now, one of the things that

1174
00:57:27,039 --> 00:57:28,440
I always love when I go there is I love

1175
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,239
to get that giant ass fucking turkey leg that they have.

1176
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,000
I love that thing. So I got that. My wife

1177
00:57:34,079 --> 00:57:37,440
likes the Dole whip, so she got that. Yeah, But

1178
00:57:37,599 --> 00:57:39,760
like most of the stuff, like when you look at

1179
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:43,039
the restaurants, it's like it's just not that attractive and

1180
00:57:43,079 --> 00:57:45,719
not that good, and plus you're paying a premium for it.

1181
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,599
Not that it's outrageous, but it's like really like it's

1182
00:57:48,639 --> 00:57:51,840
it's just not that great, which which surprises me because

1183
00:57:53,519 --> 00:57:57,079
Disney takes such pride in these parks and everything is

1184
00:57:57,119 --> 00:57:59,960
freaking perfect in the parks. Yet the food is just

1185
00:58:00,239 --> 00:58:03,239
very lackluster. To me, It's just it's just not that great.

1186
00:58:03,519 --> 00:58:05,559
And I wouldn't mind spending a little bit more if

1187
00:58:05,599 --> 00:58:07,760
the food was like the food kind of like was

1188
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:10,320
like something you kind of remembered, but you know, it

1189
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:12,000
is what it is. But we had a lot of fun.

1190
00:58:12,039 --> 00:58:14,960
We had great seats for the fucking parade, and we

1191
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,960
saw the parade actually twice, which is great because one

1192
00:58:18,039 --> 00:58:20,599
night we were the parade goes one way right at

1193
00:58:20,639 --> 00:58:22,519
like eight thirty, and then it comes back later on

1194
00:58:22,559 --> 00:58:25,039
at night at like ten thirty or something like that,

1195
00:58:25,159 --> 00:58:27,599
and we were there super late. So yeah, all in

1196
00:58:27,639 --> 00:58:29,480
all was great. It was a really good trip. It

1197
00:58:29,519 --> 00:58:30,119
definitely was.

1198
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:33,199
Speaker 2: I remember what my story was, so I got two

1199
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:36,280
real quick. My son is in GATE, which is like

1200
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:40,719
accelerated learning but like NUDS Smoak kids, and they have

1201
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:41,679
a field trip coming out.

1202
00:58:41,679 --> 00:58:44,639
Speaker 1: I think they called that when I was in school

1203
00:58:44,639 --> 00:58:45,920
because I was in it for one year, and they

1204
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:48,239
called it GT That's what it was called.

1205
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:51,119
Speaker 2: But this is like gift, I guess, gifted and whatever,

1206
00:58:51,199 --> 00:58:54,519
Gifted and intelligence whatever. They have a field trip Gifted

1207
00:58:54,559 --> 00:58:56,719
and talented some of that. Yeah, they have a field

1208
00:58:56,719 --> 00:58:59,039
trip at Disneyland. And I was like, oh, this is good.

1209
00:58:59,679 --> 00:59:01,559
He can go, he can enjoy it. I don't have

1210
00:59:01,599 --> 00:59:04,840
to spend the enormous amount of money for like all

1211
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:05,480
of us to go.

1212
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 1: And he was like, oh yeah, yeah one day thing.

1213
00:59:08,599 --> 00:59:09,480
Yeah yeah, okay.

1214
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:11,719
Speaker 2: So he finds out that we have to take him

1215
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:15,119
to school at like four am because he has to

1216
00:59:15,119 --> 00:59:17,760
catch you know, the bus down and then I pick

1217
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:19,800
him up because the bus leaves like midnight pick him

1218
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:23,400
up at four am again, and he's just like, wait,

1219
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,360
so I don't get to sleep in And I'm like no,

1220
00:59:26,639 --> 00:59:28,159
and he goes, I don't think I want to go,

1221
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:30,159
Like you can sleep on the bus, buddy. He's like, nah,

1222
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:33,159
I'm good. Sound like, well, there goes that idea, So

1223
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:36,280
we'll revisit it. But seems like his mind's pretty made

1224
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,480
up on not going because he's going to lose some sleep.

1225
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:43,239
But my family part story is I've been involved in

1226
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,800
like a seven month game of tag with him. I

1227
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:48,119
don't know if you do this with your kids or

1228
00:59:48,119 --> 00:59:50,719
if anyone else out there does it, Like just like tag,

1229
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:54,320
you're it just that right, And there's always a safe

1230
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:55,760
zone in the house. It used to be just the

1231
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,840
white cotch that was the safe zone. So when when

1232
00:59:59,119 --> 01:00:01,079
I was it and he was going to get a

1233
01:00:01,159 --> 01:00:02,920
drink and I'd come in the lounge room, he'd run

1234
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:06,159
back to the white couch. Now the safe zone has

1235
01:00:06,199 --> 01:00:10,079
evolved into like a certain like plushy or like a

1236
01:00:10,079 --> 01:00:13,119
different couch or like now he's using downstairs as the

1237
01:00:13,159 --> 01:00:16,239
safe zone. He's using the pool like in the water.

1238
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,719
Speaker 1: Sounds like he's bending the rule in the very least

1239
01:00:20,039 --> 01:00:21,519
if not full and cheating.

1240
01:00:21,599 --> 01:00:23,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's full of cheating. But what it means was

1241
01:00:23,599 --> 01:00:26,239
like I've had to like get really creative with like

1242
01:00:26,599 --> 01:00:29,280
how I tag him. So there was one time where

1243
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:31,440
he was swimming and the water was the safe sign.

1244
01:00:31,599 --> 01:00:34,639
He came out and he's like, where's Dad. Where's Dad?

1245
01:00:34,679 --> 01:00:37,079
And they're like, oh, he went upstairs to get changed.

1246
01:00:37,079 --> 01:00:38,559
He has got to go to work, so he like

1247
01:00:39,039 --> 01:00:40,960
came to like ride with the doores, and I was

1248
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:44,039
like hiding. I had to tag him either way. Every

1249
01:00:44,119 --> 01:00:46,360
day we're playing tag in this house and like I'm

1250
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:49,599
hoping he gets over it soon because it's so much effort,

1251
01:00:50,039 --> 01:00:52,280
so much energy, and same when I jumped him off,

1252
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:55,320
he'll tag me on the way out of the seat.

1253
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:57,320
It's like safe zone school. I'm like, well I can't

1254
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:00,000
even get out, but it doesn't matter. But like, yeah,

1255
01:01:00,119 --> 01:01:03,159
monsterous game of tag me and my son right now. Okay,

1256
01:01:03,159 --> 01:01:04,960
it's just never ends, Neverens.

1257
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:08,199
Speaker 1: It's just interesting that it's like just ongoing forever.

1258
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:13,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like tomorrow when he wakes up, and when

1259
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:15,079
when I wake up, if it wakes uping for a second,

1260
01:01:15,519 --> 01:01:18,480
they'll run to like they'll tag one of them, he'll

1261
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:21,320
tag me and be like safe zone something, and that

1262
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:23,360
would just be it, and then we'll just go like

1263
01:01:24,119 --> 01:01:26,719
I've tried to make like we've tried to get rid

1264
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,039
of safe zones. We tried to do everything that doesn't work,

1265
01:01:29,559 --> 01:01:31,400
doesn't work. Tell me if anyone else out there is

1266
01:01:31,639 --> 01:01:33,440
experiencing that, cool.

1267
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:38,079
Speaker 1: Well that's gonna do it for us. Friday Poker Masters begin.
