1 00:00:18,839 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 1: Hello everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the 2 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,079 Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donny Peters. His name 3 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,399 is Tim Duckworth. It is the evening of Sunday, January, 4 00:00:29,399 --> 00:00:33,520 fifth day off from the PGT Last Chance Series, and 5 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,439 an important day off for my co host here because 6 00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:42,200 his Broncos are going to the playoffs. How you doing, Buddy? 7 00:00:42,759 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 2: I feel great. Great game of football that was. 8 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,359 Speaker 1: I mean they have did the Chiefs end up scoring? 9 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:49,840 I turned it off? 10 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 3: Was still enough of the d to do some other stuff, 11 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,640 but first off was pretty fun to watch. 12 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: There you go Bonnicks and them boys. 13 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,759 Speaker 2: How about your boys? What's coming on over there? 14 00:01:03,679 --> 00:01:07,879 Speaker 1: Well, listen, everyone still associates me with the New England Patriots. 15 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,400 I would like to announce once and for all for 16 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,439 everyone that has for a long time, I haven't associated 17 00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:16,640 myself with the New England Patriots. First of all, I 18 00:01:16,719 --> 00:01:22,480 just feel like I've grown up and I don't feel 19 00:01:22,519 --> 00:01:27,359 any sort of allegiance really to any one team. Second 20 00:01:27,359 --> 00:01:32,519 of all, I am team Tom Brady. So that's how 21 00:01:32,519 --> 00:01:35,760 I'm gonna go. I mean now, it's just like, you know, 22 00:01:35,799 --> 00:01:39,280 sports are fun, and I don't feel like I feel 23 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,760 like I look back on my younger self and how 24 00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:46,560 I used to get lots of highs and a lot 25 00:01:46,599 --> 00:01:50,439 of lows depending on how sports teams that I had 26 00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:54,680 a quote unquote allegiance towards we're doing. And I think 27 00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:56,840 that's kind of silly in a lot of rooms. So 28 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,640 I don't really care anymore. I mean, I love sports, 29 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,480 don't get you're wrong. I love it more than ever, 30 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,439 and I'll definitely wager on a bunch of games and 31 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,000 I guess that will be where my allegiance is for 32 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,080 that day or that night, or that week or that season. 33 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,520 But other than that, I don't really care. That said, 34 00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:17,719 the Patriots are an absolute clown show. I mean, you 35 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,719 have the number one pick in your hands, it's already yours. 36 00:02:21,759 --> 00:02:23,919 This isn't like one of those things where they had 37 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,800 the number two or number three pick and then if 38 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,759 they lose they could get it. No, this is you 39 00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:31,520 are number one. You are number one on the draft board. 40 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,080 And yes, I'm not a big follower of as I 41 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:40,000 call them, unprofessed sports, and I don't think like the 42 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,800 draft class this year is supposed to be overly great. 43 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,400 That said, you have a chance to control the draft board. 44 00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:50,199 You can trade out of there, get a boatload of picks, 45 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,879 you can do whatever you want. Okay, So I mean 46 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,479 this is on. You can't blame Drowd Mayo for like 47 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:02,400 going out there and trying to win the game. If 48 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,280 you're the Crafts who own the team, you absolutely positively 49 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,919 have to fire the coach before the game. If you're 50 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,039 gonna fire him anyway, fire him before they fire the 51 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,520 whole staff. Say, players, you're gonna coach yourselves today. Who 52 00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:21,639 cares you? Make damn sure you get that number one pick. 53 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,039 That is your job. And then once Milton gets out 54 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,879 there and starts cooking up and down the field, you say, buddy, 55 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,560 you are sitting your ass down. We're putting the emergency 56 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,479 QB in, we are calling wildcat plays, whatever we're gonna 57 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,240 do to ensure that we get the number one pick. 58 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,719 I know this is a poker podcast, but it is 59 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:45,000 just it's it's more about the general incompetence you see 60 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,000 on a weekly basis, on a game by game basis, 61 00:03:48,039 --> 00:03:52,360 from these billion dollar franchises, These people who are supposed 62 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,719 to be these elite football minds, these elite like franchise 63 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,800 owners and all this sort of stuff. Executives blah, blah blah, 64 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,439 and they just butcher things all the time. This is 65 00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:06,000 an absolute butcher job by the entire Patriots organization. You 66 00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:09,039 can't blame the players because they're playing for contracts, incentives 67 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,240 their next jobs, like all this sort of stuff. I 68 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,759 totally get it right. You can't blame the coaches, they're 69 00:04:13,759 --> 00:04:16,439 doing the same thing. But as the crafts, you have 70 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,000 to take this into your own hands as much as possible. 71 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,720 You have to clear out the staff beforehand. You can't 72 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,720 give them any shot whatsoever to like win the game. Yeah, 73 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,360 that's what you have to do. It's just it's absolutely ridiculous. 74 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,839 But yeah, that's my thoughts. If anyone wants legit football 75 00:04:34,879 --> 00:04:40,040 content this playoffs, check out my other podcast, Great Aaron Gambles. Okay, yes, 76 00:04:40,199 --> 00:04:43,439 selfish plug.

I 119 00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:06,560 was thinking we're going to get seventies and eighties, a 120 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,759 little less than we did last year, just because I 121 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,680 don't know. There was just like a vibe or a 122 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,879 read I had on the playpool and I was very wrong. Yeah, 123 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,920 we've had one hundred and what is it, one hundred 124 00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:22,120 and eleven, one hundred and nineteen and one hundred and 125 00:07:22,199 --> 00:07:29,079 nineteen entrants absolutely kind of insane numbers, lots of new faces, 126 00:07:29,439 --> 00:07:32,879 lots of old faces, lots of people taking their shot, 127 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,600 and this series is just a great one to kick 128 00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:37,680 off the new year. 129 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's it's been awesome being there every 130 00:07:41,319 --> 00:07:44,480 single day, just again, you know, really feeling that buzz 131 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,240 in the room for the players that are all taking 132 00:07:47,279 --> 00:07:50,639 their shots, you know, to better their position within the 133 00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:52,439 top forty of the leader board, or to get a 134 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,480 shot at a dream seat or get themselves into the 135 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,399 top forty. You know, there's been a lot of things 136 00:07:58,279 --> 00:08:02,160 happening kind of all at once, as as like a 137 00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:06,120 I guess a league type of nerd, a stats nerd, 138 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,160 all that sort of stuff, Like it's great for me, 139 00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:10,439 you know sports nerd as well. Like it's just how 140 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,120 it all kind of comes together, and the season really 141 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,079 does come down to, like this series, if people are 142 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,680 gonna get in or out for that championship event. You mentioned, 143 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,000 those numbers great right out of the gate. I keep 144 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,160 telling you every single day I'm taking the over. You 145 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,879 keep poop pooing me taking the under. The numbers are 146 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,680 just absolutely freaking incredible. Last year for the PGT Last 147 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,279 Chance Series, the opener had ninety one entries. The series 148 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,080 ended up happening between I think it was seventy eight 149 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,000 ninety one entries for the events. So with one eleven, 150 00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:42,039 one nineteen and one nineteen already just crushing what we 151 00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:44,480 did last year, you know, which is awesome. So shout 152 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,279 out to you forgetting all that sort of stuff done. 153 00:08:47,919 --> 00:08:51,679 Nick Shulman and Shannon Shore won the first two events. 154 00:08:51,759 --> 00:08:54,240 Nick Schulman won the first one two hundred and eighty 155 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,120 three thousand dollars for him. Shannon Shore won the second 156 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,000 one two hundred ninety seven five hundred dollars for him. 157 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,039 The third event, as I mentioned, is going to finish 158 00:09:02,039 --> 00:09:05,399 out on Monday. There are seven players left. Keith Lear 159 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,679 get on the f and Jet Cheese Monster. He is 160 00:09:08,759 --> 00:09:13,759 the chip leader, ahead of what Sam soverrolls in second place. 161 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,720 David Chen is that there as well. David Chen is 162 00:09:16,759 --> 00:09:18,559 like it gets a cult following every time we do 163 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,200 a YouTube stream. It's amazing. So yeah, just some other notes. Quickly, 164 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,960 We got Ren Lynn. He has climbed his way currently 165 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,799 at least into the top forty of the PGT Lead Award. 166 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,879 He did that with a sixth place finish in event 167 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,879 number two. This is important. Of course, we've said it before, 168 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,159 I will say it again because the top forty players 169 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,679 on the PGT lead aboard at the end of the season, 170 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,480 they qualify for the season ending at PGT million dollars championship. 171 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,360 So Lynn moved into the top forty. I think he's 172 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:54,559 thirty eighth right now, thirty ninth. He bumped Justin Saliba out. 173 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,879 Justin Seba is now sitting forty first. Also of note, 174 00:09:58,919 --> 00:10:01,919 Brian Kim was one of those nine players coming into 175 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,559 this series who was in the top forty points wise, 176 00:10:04,919 --> 00:10:08,360 but needed to get to three PGT cases. You need 177 00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:11,200 to have at least three PGT cashes in order to 178 00:10:11,879 --> 00:10:16,080 officially qualify get that eligibility for the championship. He cashed 179 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,639 in the first event, so he came, got in there, 180 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,799 he got his cash, so he is qualified. He's pretty 181 00:10:21,879 --> 00:10:22,440 much locked in. 182 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,279 Speaker 2: Right like, yeah, he's locked yeh, yeah, yeah. 183 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,919 Speaker 1: He's he's locked in. He's still been playing since, but 184 00:10:29,639 --> 00:10:33,240 he's locked in. So he got that done. Jonathan Tomaio 185 00:10:33,919 --> 00:10:35,879 is still looking for a cash. I mean that guy, 186 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,159 it's he's he's the Jim Callipy of last year. Yeah, 187 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,320 you know, like Jim callipy last year. Tim and I 188 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,519 have talked about it before. He was right on the 189 00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:48,200 outside of the top forty looking in and just trying 190 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,120 trying to get points, trying to get points, trying to 191 00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:52,960 get points, and then the final event happens, he busted 192 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,000 out and he needed to like sweat some other people. 193 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,799 It was like literally he was sitting at the bar 194 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,960 like drinking while the final event was playing near the bubble, 195 00:11:02,039 --> 00:11:04,519 like waiting. Sure it happened, it didn't break his way, 196 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,200 and it was just sad Jim Collipe, It seems like 197 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,159 sad Jonathan Tomorrow every time I see him. Yeah, I mean, 198 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,200 it's just entries, entries, entries. He played like he played 199 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,480 everything at the napt that we did in partnership with 200 00:11:16,519 --> 00:11:19,039 Poker Stars, right. He went to Texas, he played the 201 00:11:19,039 --> 00:11:22,720 the plo stuff down there. He the guy needs one cash. 202 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,600 He's got enough points. He's got seventeen dred and thirty points. 203 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,120 He's sixth place on the PGT leader where just needs 204 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,159 to hit the money one time, and he just can't 205 00:11:31,159 --> 00:11:31,799 seem to do it. 206 00:11:31,879 --> 00:11:34,799 Speaker 3: He's not even getting close. That's the that's the worst part. 207 00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:39,039 He's busting so early. I just I feel so least 208 00:11:39,039 --> 00:11:40,000 he get unlimited entries. 209 00:11:40,039 --> 00:11:41,639 Speaker 1: I mean, the guy won ten million dollars. He can 210 00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:42,159 fire away. 211 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,519 Speaker 2: I know, I know, I just I really want him 212 00:11:44,519 --> 00:11:45,360 to get this cash. 213 00:11:46,159 --> 00:11:48,639 Speaker 1: Same like I think it's great to have the WSB 214 00:11:48,759 --> 00:11:51,399 main event champion in there. Yeah, And I also think 215 00:11:51,399 --> 00:11:54,200 it's great that like he's he's like him getting in 216 00:11:54,279 --> 00:11:56,399 the way, like just chasing so hard to the end, 217 00:11:56,399 --> 00:11:58,440 and like obviously he wants to get in this free role, 218 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,000 you know, and he's just chasing, chasing, chasing, and it's 219 00:12:02,039 --> 00:12:04,519 just like every time you see him, you're just like, man, 220 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,639 you just get a damn cash already. So he's he's uh, 221 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,600 he was one of those nine. He's not one of 222 00:12:11,639 --> 00:12:14,919 the eight because, as I mentioned, Kim got in what 223 00:12:14,919 --> 00:12:15,600 were you gonna say? 224 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 3: No, I was like, I think yesterday within the first orbit, 225 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,120 he busted his first bullet. Fluped top set guy flupped 226 00:12:24,159 --> 00:12:28,039 is not straight. It's just like it's just it's it's yeah, 227 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,000 it's insane. 228 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: Maybe you should sit him down and be like, listen, 229 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,600 I'm the king of folding to cash, Okay, Like like 230 00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:36,759 I need to talk talk to you about this. 231 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 2: He's playing on time too. That's that's interesting to me. 232 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 3: I know there's obviously the rake reduction, but for someboding 233 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,200 like this where he just needs one cash. In Texas, 234 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,519 he was he was max late every time. I know 235 00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:51,240 it was plo, but still I'm surprised he's actually not 236 00:12:51,279 --> 00:12:55,039 taking that strategy in these just coming in like. 237 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,759 Speaker 1: I would play on time, because I would play on 238 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,399 time and essentially like a super knit early or maybe 239 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,840 play like a lunatic early whatever, it doesn't happen because 240 00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:06,039 just playing on time giving yourself that extra chance to 241 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,559 hopefully just get hit with the deck and run like 242 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,080 god and have a big stack, as opposed to the 243 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,399 max late reg coming into the twenty big lines and 244 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,080 going you can all. The thing is with the with 245 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,720 the PGT Last Chance series different from some of our 246 00:13:18,759 --> 00:13:22,440 other series which allow maximum three entries. This is unlimited, 247 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,639 so no matter what, he'll be able to max late 248 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,879 redge with twenty. So you might as well just come 249 00:13:26,919 --> 00:13:30,440 earlier and fire off. It doesn't matter. Whereas if you 250 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,759 come earlier and you have that cap at three entries, 251 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,039 you might go through all three and then you're screwed. 252 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,960 But here he can just he can be in for 253 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,840 ten who the hell knows. I mean, like you know, 254 00:13:39,159 --> 00:13:41,600 but yeah, like just kind of go nuts, like I 255 00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:45,960 would probably play a bit crazy to start, just you know, 256 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,799 dani Legroanney style, all in every hand like he does 257 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,840 in some of those crazy bounty events or whatever, and 258 00:13:52,879 --> 00:13:55,600 then you know, play a little bit more normal second entry, 259 00:13:55,879 --> 00:13:57,240 and then of course, you know, if you have to 260 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,320 fire that max late red entry, I mean you're just 261 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,440 tank every hand, fold the cash. That's the goal there, 262 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,120 if you even can do that. So you mentioned Brian 263 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,879 Kim did check that box. Jonathan Toyo is still searching 264 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,960 the other players, still searching. Nicholas Oustadt, but he's not here. 265 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,360 Don't think he's coming. We'll see. Jason Segel needs two cashes. 266 00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:22,360 He's been here, it's been playing everything. So time is 267 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,120 starting to run out for mister Sagle, who needs two cashes. 268 00:14:26,159 --> 00:14:27,519 Boris Angelov missed what. 269 00:14:27,559 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 2: The first event? 270 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, first event, but he got on a plane, 271 00:14:31,399 --> 00:14:33,840 got his butt here and Boris Angelov is in there. 272 00:14:33,879 --> 00:14:36,360 He needs one cash. Matthew Lambreck haven't seen him. 273 00:14:36,679 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 2: Seen him. 274 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: He was all about it too. 275 00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 2: He might just be over it as well, all right. 276 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: He just might be over it and just Gonzalez have 277 00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:46,240 not seen him. He needs two cashes. Ali and Nakash 278 00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:49,759 have not seen him. He needs one cash and Mallow 279 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,840 Latinois also needs a cash or he needs two cashes. Sorry, 280 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,639 but haven't seen him as well. So yeah, with the 281 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,399 I know that third event still has to play out, 282 00:15:00,519 --> 00:15:04,120 but there's you know, obviously registration has closed. There so 283 00:15:04,279 --> 00:15:07,279 only three events left for these players to get in there. 284 00:15:07,279 --> 00:15:09,960 But it's not just them. It's not just them because 285 00:15:11,159 --> 00:15:15,200 there are two leaderboard races going on simultaneously. There's obviously 286 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,279 the one that we've talked about many times where it's 287 00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:20,480 getting into the top forty. So that's on a lot 288 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,360 of people's minds. I mentioned Renlin had already done enough 289 00:15:23,399 --> 00:15:25,759 at least right now. If things were to pause right now, 290 00:15:25,759 --> 00:15:28,679 Renlin would be in because he got that sixth place 291 00:15:28,679 --> 00:15:31,840 finish in event number two. But there's other players, you know, 292 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,879 right both like in that I would say, what thirty 293 00:15:35,879 --> 00:15:38,200 five to forty, and then the ones that are like 294 00:15:38,279 --> 00:15:42,000 forty one to sixty ish or so, like they're within 295 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,039 striking distance. The thirty five to forty that's Chance corn 296 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,519 Is Scott, sever Alex Foxen, Elis Parsonen, Renlin and Jonathan Little, 297 00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:56,080 everyone but Cornith and Parsonen have been here firing a lot. 298 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,759 Kind of I would say, slight surprise to see sever 299 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,679 I thought he might be more of like I'll monitor 300 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,799 it and maybe I'll come right at the end type 301 00:16:05,799 --> 00:16:08,240 of thing. But he's been there every single day, tirn Away, 302 00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:14,279 Jonathan Little is now the last person in. 303 00:16:15,279 --> 00:16:15,639 Speaker 2: Wow. 304 00:16:15,799 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: Correctly, Well, I'm just saying, I know, I know there's 305 00:16:19,159 --> 00:16:22,279 like the if those guys that are the ashes that like, 306 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,039 I know, there's all that sort of stuff, But honestly 307 00:16:24,039 --> 00:16:25,960 that kind of gives me a popsicle headache and it 308 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,799 makes it harder to explain, so I kind of just 309 00:16:27,879 --> 00:16:32,240 leave it to the side for right now. But what 310 00:16:32,279 --> 00:16:34,360 Tim is alluding to is, like, let's say Jonathan Tomow 311 00:16:34,399 --> 00:16:38,159 doesn't get the three cashes, He's essentially removed from the 312 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,039 leader board and everyone gets slotted up one spot. Okay, 313 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,000 So that would mean in that case, specifically, if if 314 00:16:44,039 --> 00:16:47,440 one person didn't qualify Tomle we're using him as an example, 315 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,919 then Justin Saliba would go from forty first to fortieth 316 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,039 and then he's in. So there's those people that are 317 00:16:52,039 --> 00:16:54,799 in like that forty one through forty nine range, Justin Saliba, 318 00:16:54,799 --> 00:16:58,320 Matthew Wantman, Isaac Hackson, Sergio Ido, Steven Chidwick, Danny Tang, 319 00:16:59,039 --> 00:17:02,440 Joshua Atkins, Bryce Jockey, and Brock Wilson, who are all 320 00:17:02,519 --> 00:17:05,839 like have the chance to move up. Atkins doesn't have 321 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,880 the qualifying cashes yet though he has one cash, he 322 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,640 needs to get to three. So everyone else that I 323 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,920 just mentioned has at least three cashes. But Atkins is 324 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,599 you still looking to get into the money two more 325 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,240 times in order to Yeah, he is here playing, so 326 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,880 it could happen. So that's like the one leaderboard race. 327 00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:29,119 Then you have the other leaderboard race, which is the 328 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,279 series leaderboard, and that's going to award three dream seats, 329 00:17:33,279 --> 00:17:35,440 and a dream seat is a direct entry into the 330 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,559 PGT Million Dollar Championship. So the top three players on 331 00:17:38,559 --> 00:17:42,759 that leaderboard, players who aren't already qualified, they would get 332 00:17:42,799 --> 00:17:46,640 into the million Dollar Championship, and then right behind them 333 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,720 the next five spots get an entry into the Dream 334 00:17:49,759 --> 00:17:52,839 Seat Invitational. And then in that Dream Seat Invitational, which 335 00:17:52,839 --> 00:17:55,119 is an invite only event that will be played on 336 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,480 January ninth, the top six players from that event, which 337 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,119 is essentially an invite only satellites they get into the 338 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,880 PGT Million Dollar Championship. So as things stand right now 339 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,279 on the series leaderboard, yes it is Nick Schulman on 340 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,039 top points wise, but Nick is very much qualified already 341 00:18:14,079 --> 00:18:16,359 for the championship, being in what. 342 00:18:16,759 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 2: Ninth place or eighth eighth playeah eighth. 343 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 1: Place, so essentially just take him out, So that means 344 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,200 Shannon Shore is currently the front runner. Joe Sirock is 345 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,759 then third, but he's also well qualified. He's in thirteenth place, 346 00:18:28,759 --> 00:18:31,680 so we can remove that. So then it's Jaousamoo and 347 00:18:31,839 --> 00:18:35,920 David Chen are the top three currently getting those dream seats. 348 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,920 Then you've got Victoria Liftshit, Sam Laskowitz, Stevensong, Bryce Yacky 349 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,079 with an asterisk next to him because he might get 350 00:18:43,079 --> 00:18:45,400 in depending on who gets the three cashes or not 351 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:50,000 and who doesn't. Matthew McEwan and I guess you can 352 00:18:50,039 --> 00:18:52,480 include Dan Shack also kind of with an asterisk depending 353 00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:54,359 on what happens with Bryce Yaky ahead of them. So 354 00:18:56,279 --> 00:18:58,599 there's just a lot going on, a lot of different 355 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,319 moving parts, but it's super fun. The best part of it. 356 00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:05,240 I mean, it's great to fall along from where we are, 357 00:19:05,279 --> 00:19:07,759 but it's great to see the players like so involved. 358 00:19:08,079 --> 00:19:11,240 They're all well aware of like what's going on. You know, 359 00:19:11,519 --> 00:19:13,680 They're like, I need these many points, I need that, 360 00:19:13,759 --> 00:19:15,519 Like where's the leaderboard? What's this? Can you give me 361 00:19:15,559 --> 00:19:17,079 an update? What do I need? What don't it? Like 362 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,200 all this sort of stuff. I'm sure they're asking you 363 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,680 a bazillion questions every single time. 364 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're texting me non stuff. It's great, but yeah, no, 365 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:25,599 they do. 366 00:19:26,599 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 2: They do know all the implications I have. 367 00:19:28,799 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 3: Like you know Dan Shack, you know, on Saturday when 368 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,279 he had made the money and then he made a 369 00:19:34,319 --> 00:19:36,119 pay jump and he's like, oh, that paye jump's so 370 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,920 big for me, you know. And then he made another 371 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,720 PA and he's like, oh, not a good paye jump. 372 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,119 So they understand the logistics behind it. They understand how 373 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,759 the race is kind of shaping out. And in a way, 374 00:19:49,039 --> 00:19:51,599 it's funny when you look at these the dream seats 375 00:19:51,599 --> 00:19:53,680 and if you've qualified, you don't get a dream seats. 376 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:54,279 Speaker 2: You don't need one. 377 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 3: There's a bit of anti sweating going on, you know, 378 00:19:57,559 --> 00:19:59,519 like a lot of people were probably cheering for Joseph 379 00:19:59,559 --> 00:20:02,799 Rock to win yesterday, right, so Shannon Shaw would have 380 00:20:02,799 --> 00:20:05,440 got second, he would have only got one hundred and 381 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,559 eighty four points, which is much more like reachable for 382 00:20:08,599 --> 00:20:11,400 some of those people below. But the fact that Shaw won, 383 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,319 he's now got two hundred ninety eight points. He's second 384 00:20:14,759 --> 00:20:17,680 to Shulman with three h seven. It's kind of show's 385 00:20:17,759 --> 00:20:20,039 kind of got a one hand on a dream seat, right, 386 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,519 It's gonna be hard to chase him down. So there's 387 00:20:23,519 --> 00:20:25,359 a bit of anti sweating going on. You know, the 388 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,640 players are never gonna admit that, but we definitely know 389 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,920 it's true. So it's definitely a fun a fun race, 390 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,039 and with three more events to go, it's gonna be 391 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:34,000 very interesting. 392 00:20:35,039 --> 00:20:40,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it also creates a very interesting element for 393 00:20:40,519 --> 00:20:44,319 the final tables. I would honestly say that at these 394 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,279 final tables, and I've been doing the commentary alongside Remko 395 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,240 Rinkima and Rempco asked me for you know, for the 396 00:20:51,279 --> 00:20:54,319 first one, Like normally, it's how aware of these guys 397 00:20:54,319 --> 00:20:56,079 of like pay jumps and all that sort of stuff. 398 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,039 I mean, here, it's almost like everything is about points. 399 00:20:59,079 --> 00:21:01,359 Like it's almost the guys kind of throw the money 400 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,960 to the side, and and I'm like, I'm kind of 401 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,400 exaggerating that, but I'm also not, because that's why everyone's 402 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,759 playing this series is to get the points. Now. Like 403 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,480 one kind of weird example of this is the first 404 00:21:15,519 --> 00:21:18,000 event which Shulman ended up going on to win. He 405 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,640 pulled this crazy bluff on the river where he checked 406 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,559 jammed on Joos Samoo with what was bottom pair at 407 00:21:24,599 --> 00:21:26,559 the time. I think it was Jack ten three turn 408 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,759 was a blank river was an ace. Nick had King 409 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,160 three and check jammed into Jos Samaou's King Queen who 410 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,440 had the nuts, and Jos sma obviously called and doubled up. 411 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,359 It doesn't matter Nick went on to win anyway. But 412 00:21:36,599 --> 00:21:39,839 what I'm getting at is, does Nick pull that bluff 413 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,119 if he's not like already locked in and he's like 414 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,480 on the outside of the top forty looking in, or 415 00:21:45,519 --> 00:21:47,599 he's in the race for the dream seat or the 416 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,400 sorry the PGT Last Chance Leader, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, 417 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,440 he was kind of just he was totally free to 418 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,599 do whatever he wanted at that final table because he's 419 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,799 well locked in. I mean, yeah, obviously for Nick he 420 00:21:56,839 --> 00:21:58,240 wants to win and the money and all that sort 421 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,480 of stuff, Yes, but like you know, he can kind 422 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,160 of just be like, yeah, I'm gonna take it to 423 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,880 the streets on this one, because it doesn't matter if 424 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,279 I end up screwing it up, right, Yeah. Whereas if 425 00:22:06,319 --> 00:22:09,599 you're like if you're a Ren Lynn, for example, or 426 00:22:09,599 --> 00:22:12,599 you're somebody like that's look right on the outside looking in, 427 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,720 or maybe you're not and you just want to fight 428 00:22:14,799 --> 00:22:17,519 those fight the battle to get to win the leader 429 00:22:17,519 --> 00:22:19,240 board or get one of those dream seats. Do you 430 00:22:19,319 --> 00:22:22,160 ultimately pull that bluff? I mean, maybe you don't. You 431 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,599 don't pull the trigger there, right, So, like, I'm sure 432 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,839 that's in the in the minds of people at some point. 433 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,200 So yeah, I think it's I think it's just great. 434 00:22:31,519 --> 00:22:34,799 I freaking love it, and it's it's only gonna, you know, 435 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,920 become kind of crazier when when things get down to 436 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,200 these final three events, the final two event, and then 437 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,200 obviously that final event and then another another situation that 438 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,279 that sticks out to me from the early events. I 439 00:22:47,319 --> 00:22:49,880 think it was the first event, might have been the second, 440 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,000 which which event did. Yeah, it was the first event. 441 00:22:52,079 --> 00:22:56,839 Jeremy Becker bubbling with the Kings versus Ace King on 442 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,160 the river, like I mean, and Becker's like, you know, 443 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,880 we obviously talk with him during the poker stars an 444 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,119 apt when he's like he's like, I played this twenty 445 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,160 five k because you guys got me chasing points that 446 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,839 crazy hand where he loses to what he had to 447 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,839 Jonathan Little's Ace King like super early, Like there's that 448 00:23:14,079 --> 00:23:16,640 now this with the Kings, you know, like he needs 449 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,680 the points. Yeah, Like so that must stick sting extra 450 00:23:19,759 --> 00:23:22,400 extra hard for him. So like he's out there fighting 451 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,920 for points like he's because he's close, right. 452 00:23:24,839 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 3: He's like five, he's five off the you know, eligible 453 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,920 top forty. So he needs basically let's call it a 454 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,559 final table. Uh if the results everywhere else above him 455 00:23:34,599 --> 00:23:37,079 stays the same. So yeah, that min cash even though 456 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,839 it's only worth sixteen points. He gets in the money. 457 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,079 Maybe he makes a run, but it's just it's chipping 458 00:23:43,079 --> 00:23:46,039 away at what he needs to try chase down. So yeah, 459 00:23:46,039 --> 00:23:47,640 that's a big that's a pretty big spot for him. 460 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,160 And obviously Ace King versus Kings, you've got the you've got, 461 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:52,920 you know, you're in pretty good shape. They had to 462 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,720 double up, and that Ace on the River is pretty 463 00:23:55,759 --> 00:23:57,039 pretty dirty for Jeremy. 464 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, So I mean it's just all around, it's just 465 00:24:00,759 --> 00:24:03,960 a really great series, probably probably our best series of 466 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,359 the year, which is like weird because it's what we internally, 467 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,279 you know, jokingly called a minor I almost feel like 468 00:24:12,279 --> 00:24:15,000 this needs to get the the full on production, Like 469 00:24:15,279 --> 00:24:17,119 we need to like make that push for next year 470 00:24:17,279 --> 00:24:19,759 just because of like the way the players treat it, 471 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,319 like you let you let them kind of dictate what's 472 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,279 important and what's not, and they obviously like sweat the 473 00:24:26,279 --> 00:24:29,279 crap out of this thing, you know, So like we 474 00:24:29,599 --> 00:24:31,799 like it'd be great if you had like like if 475 00:24:31,799 --> 00:24:34,200 you had Jeff Platt running around being like the sideline 476 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,319 reporter while people are like having all these sorts of 477 00:24:36,319 --> 00:24:38,720 sweats and like all these points things and whatever. Like 478 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,240 like if you could get Jeff to grab Jeremie Becker, 479 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,119 for example, right after he got you know, knocked out 480 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,519 there with that ace on the river and like what 481 00:24:45,599 --> 00:24:47,319 that actually meant to him and how much it hurts 482 00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:48,759 and like all that sort of that would be great. 483 00:24:48,799 --> 00:24:51,000 Like all this stuff would be great. So like, yeah, yeah, 484 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,839 we need to push for that just because like it's 485 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,359 this series is just i know, like at first when 486 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,279 we put it together at first, when you put it 487 00:24:59,319 --> 00:25:01,119 together at first, was kind of like, Okay, we're going 488 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,279 to do this as as the last chance to get 489 00:25:03,319 --> 00:25:07,839 in you know, pun intended of course, but it's become 490 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:13,160 like amazing. You also have people like I mean, Michael 491 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:18,319 Burke comes to mind right where like he doesn't doesn't 492 00:25:18,319 --> 00:25:20,440 play a lot of stuff on the PGT all season. 493 00:25:20,559 --> 00:25:22,519 Maybe if he had some more success on the PGD 494 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,200 he would have pushed more. But now he's out there 495 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,039 for this series. Yeah, you know, he knows that, Like, Okay, 496 00:25:28,319 --> 00:25:30,119 I had some success. He had some deep runs at 497 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,000 some stuff. At the win in December, I think he 498 00:25:32,039 --> 00:25:36,640 had two six figure scores and now all you have 499 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:37,839 to do is you have to finish in the top 500 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,759 three this leaderboard, or you finish in the top eight 501 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,920 and you can get into you know that that dream 502 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,119 Seed invitation shot. So you know, I think a lot 503 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,240 of people are just really, really really pushing for this 504 00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:47,960 sort of stuff. 505 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 3: So and unfortunately for him, he was the bubble boy. 506 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,559 In event three, he played a two and a half 507 00:25:54,599 --> 00:25:59,799 million chip pot with Keith Leo and Monster maybe was 508 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:01,680 not on the winning side of it. 509 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I would not play a big pot with 510 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,359 Keith lear He seems like he wins all the biggest 511 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,279 pots he ever plays. In his entire life. Yeah, just 512 00:26:10,319 --> 00:26:12,480 a big pop player. But even like Keith Lear, like 513 00:26:12,599 --> 00:26:14,920 I mean, why is he here, Like no, I you 514 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,759 know that, like maybe he's just like whatever, Like maybe 515 00:26:16,759 --> 00:26:18,279 I can get to this free roll. Cool, let's go, 516 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,160 and I want to play some tournament poker, Like I mean, 517 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,880 that's that's great. You know, you see a lot of 518 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,559 guys that don't really play a lot that come out 519 00:26:24,599 --> 00:26:27,079 and you know they're firing in this. So yeah, the 520 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,359 PGT Last Chance is front and center. It's absolutely awesome. 521 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,920 As as I mentioned, on Monday, January sixth, at four 522 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,759 pm Eastern time one pm Pacific time, we will have 523 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:44,240 the final table of event number three with the same 524 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,480 one hundred nineteen entries that we had in event number two, 525 00:26:46,599 --> 00:26:49,519 same the first place prize there, so two hundred and 526 00:26:49,559 --> 00:26:53,480 ninety seven five hundred dollars up top. Keith Lear is 527 00:26:53,559 --> 00:26:56,640 in front, Sam Silverall is second, Dylan Lindy is third, 528 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:02,279 Landon Tice fourth, David Chen, Brandon Wilson sixth, Darren Elias 529 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,880 his seventh. So that's important for I mean, David Chen, 530 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,880 this is good for him, you know, if he can, 531 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,319 if he can get another top three finish. I mean, 532 00:27:13,559 --> 00:27:15,440 he's got to be a favorite win a dream seat. 533 00:27:15,319 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 3: Right, I mean, yeah, he's not locked, but very close 534 00:27:20,039 --> 00:27:20,519 to locking. 535 00:27:21,039 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 2: He's two five. 536 00:27:22,759 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 3: He probably needs to win two events to make the 537 00:27:25,279 --> 00:27:29,920 top forty naturally, but you know there's there's obviously going 538 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,359 to be some this one except for Sam Several is 539 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,240 kind of completely open. You know, no one really has 540 00:27:36,319 --> 00:27:38,799 enough points to make a run at the top forty 541 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,319 from the seven remaining players. So whoever wins this event 542 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,160 outside of Several is you know, really going to be 543 00:27:46,079 --> 00:27:48,480 grinding those last three events to make sure they can 544 00:27:48,519 --> 00:27:50,480 take home that dream seat. 545 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: But even for Souverall, this is important, Like, I mean, 546 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,359 there is a world where people could have leapfrogged him, Yeah, in. 547 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 2: Like a weird way. 548 00:27:57,079 --> 00:28:00,039 Speaker 1: So because he's currently right now without the point and 549 00:28:00,079 --> 00:28:01,839 said he's gonna get from this event thirty third on 550 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,799 the lead aboard one and seventy seven points. Jonathan Little 551 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,119 was that player that we mentioned earlier, is fortieth. He's 552 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,680 got nine to twenty three. So you know, there's still 553 00:28:10,799 --> 00:28:13,519 enough like top three spots left in the series that 554 00:28:14,839 --> 00:28:17,359 it's it's a long shot, yes, but it could happen. 555 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:18,759 That Silver like it's bumped out. 556 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,319 Speaker 2: So yeah, the biggest think it helps. 557 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:22,759 Speaker 1: Him that he got a cash and got a final 558 00:28:22,799 --> 00:28:25,640 table like it just really like it basically guarantees that 559 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,880 he's gonna make it now, which is good. You don't 560 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,039 have to you don't have to sweat it, which I'm 561 00:28:29,079 --> 00:28:31,359 sure is you want that like off your back, like 562 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:32,680 you don't want to have to worry about it. 563 00:28:33,039 --> 00:28:34,799 Speaker 3: The big thing for Sarval is that it if he 564 00:28:34,839 --> 00:28:38,000 can win this, you know, he's gonna move obviously up 565 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,880 the PGT leader board to around fifteenth place depending on 566 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,559 the results. And for him, it's going to improve his 567 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,000 starting stack in the PGT Championship. Currently he's got about 568 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,599 two hundred big blinds. He will move all the way 569 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,359 up to two hundred and sixty big blinds. 570 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: So winning this big blinds difference. 571 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, winning this obviously you're putting three hundred k in 572 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:01,079 your pocket, but also for the PGT Million Dollar Championship, 573 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,079 you know you're adding another fifty sixty big blind see 574 00:29:04,079 --> 00:29:06,680 your starting stack, which you know is a huge ev 575 00:29:07,359 --> 00:29:08,160 h in itself. 576 00:29:09,319 --> 00:29:09,559 Speaker 2: Yeah. 577 00:29:09,599 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: So I mean that's just another another cool element of 578 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,039 this whole thing that that Tim has been at the 579 00:29:15,039 --> 00:29:17,359 forefront of putting together. It's just you know, it's a 580 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,000 lot of fun. It's really awesome. So, you know, I 581 00:29:20,039 --> 00:29:22,720 think the fact that also we have outside of David Chen, 582 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,079 you know, these other names here, I mean, I would 583 00:29:26,119 --> 00:29:28,279 say outside David Chan, outside of soilverall, you have five 584 00:29:28,319 --> 00:29:31,200 other names here that are essentially going to be in 585 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:36,119 contention for the series leaderboard, right, so that race like 586 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,640 coming down to the final two in one event. You know, 587 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,039 like it's just going to be a lot of fun 588 00:29:40,079 --> 00:29:43,279 to see how that all shakes out there. So still 589 00:29:43,319 --> 00:29:45,359 a lot to be had, lots of play for here. 590 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,799 All these players are going to be out there battling 591 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,839 of course, anything else on the Last Chance Series, any 592 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,759 sort of final thoughts before we get the heck out. 593 00:29:55,640 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 3: Of here, final thoughts hopefully Jonathan Tamaya gets that cash. 594 00:30:00,559 --> 00:30:04,559 Yeah for real, I'm definitely you know, cheering for our 595 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,039 regulars to try and sneak in there. You know, it 596 00:30:07,039 --> 00:30:09,400 would be good to see everyone that puts in the 597 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,319 volume qualify and you can see they're all like we've mentioned, 598 00:30:13,319 --> 00:30:17,839 we mentioned Jeremy Becker, people like Sam Laskowitz that you 599 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,880 know won the Dream Saint last year. They're all they 600 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,839 put volume all season they're grinding hard for this, so 601 00:30:23,519 --> 00:30:26,599 hopefully everything breaks right for some of these guys and 602 00:30:26,599 --> 00:30:28,359 they can get in, But otherwise I think it's going 603 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,319 to be a pretty good conclusion to this series, and 604 00:30:31,319 --> 00:30:34,279 then obviously the PGT Championship kicking off on Friday. 605 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I echo your thoughts on the regulars. 606 00:30:39,319 --> 00:30:42,240 Just quickly looking at the lead award you mentioned Sam Laskowitz. 607 00:30:42,319 --> 00:30:45,359 He's fifty six, very much within striking distance. Jeremy Becker 608 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,119 right behind him, very much within striking distance. Justin Zachi 609 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,039 is right there as well. Dan Shack, who is at 610 00:30:52,039 --> 00:30:54,279 this event number three or sorry, who had the deep 611 00:30:54,359 --> 00:30:56,240 run of event number three, who you know, moved up 612 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,079 a little bit. He's now pretty much within striking distance. 613 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,160 Eric s Idell is right there. He's been out playing. 614 00:31:02,559 --> 00:31:06,559 Joey Wiseman is out there playing. Uh Noel Rodriguez played 615 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,799 he played it right, He's been playing everything right as 616 00:31:08,799 --> 00:31:09,799 he I know he played the I. 617 00:31:09,759 --> 00:31:11,319 Speaker 2: Think he played the first two events. 618 00:31:11,559 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean yeah, So there's a lot of these 619 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,960 guys that they you know, they frequent the PGT quite 620 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,160 a bit. I mean Dan Shack has fourteen PGT cashes now. 621 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,839 Eric Saidel has fourteen PGT cashes and they play a 622 00:31:22,839 --> 00:31:27,319 lot on the tour. They're just they haven't had that that, 623 00:31:27,599 --> 00:31:30,400 you know, those big results. And then someone else I'm 624 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,119 also keeping an eye on is Alex Foxen, who's currently 625 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:40,240 thirty seventh. You know, he's probably really like thirty fourth, 626 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,920 thirty third, depending on some of these players ahead of him. 627 00:31:44,279 --> 00:31:46,759 Like I'm I'm assuming Tom I was gonna get a 628 00:31:46,759 --> 00:31:50,519 cash like in this calculation. So I mean, I have 629 00:31:50,519 --> 00:31:52,960 no idea if he will or won't the way he's going, 630 00:31:53,039 --> 00:31:57,160 who the heck knows, But I'm gonna assuming he gets 631 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,200 it and everyone else. I'm gonna say he gets and 632 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,440 Boris Angelov gets it, and then everyone else won't. So 633 00:32:04,799 --> 00:32:06,759 that would bump Foxing up and give him a little 634 00:32:06,759 --> 00:32:10,119 bit more comfort in terms of qualifying. It was also 635 00:32:10,119 --> 00:32:12,440 bumped some of these players you know that are right 636 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,960 outside the top forty up and in. But of course, 637 00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:17,079 as I've mentioned a couple of times on the broadcast, 638 00:32:17,119 --> 00:32:20,240 you know, if you're someone like ad Justin Saliba, Matthew Wotman, 639 00:32:20,319 --> 00:32:23,880 Isaac Hackson, Steven Chidwick, you know you just you want it. 640 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,000 You'd rather take your feet into your own hands, just 641 00:32:26,039 --> 00:32:28,160 get the cashes, get the points, and don't have to 642 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,480 sweat the other stuff. Because we saw that heartbreak with 643 00:32:30,559 --> 00:32:34,039 Jim Callaby last year. I guess just quickly you had 644 00:32:34,079 --> 00:32:38,519 a funny little conversation with Steven Chidwick where you were like, 645 00:32:39,079 --> 00:32:40,559 you have to get a cash or what? 646 00:32:40,319 --> 00:32:40,359 Speaker 2: What? 647 00:32:40,559 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: How did that go? Yeah? 648 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,599 Speaker 3: I was basically just after the first event, updating some 649 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,559 of those people right on the fringe. You know, hey, 650 00:32:48,599 --> 00:32:53,160 you're thirty ninth, you're forty. And I was talking to 651 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,240 whoever was sitting next to Chidwick and then I said, yeah, 652 00:32:55,279 --> 00:33:00,519 the Stevie or now this spot, and he's said something 653 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,359 like it's fine, I'll get a cash. He's had just 654 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,640 had all the confidence like he and then obviously he 655 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,000 rolled up the cash. Yeah, he cashed that event. It 656 00:33:09,079 --> 00:33:13,000 didn't even It was funny because like people that have 657 00:33:13,039 --> 00:33:16,440 at least watch Steven shiitway, he doesn't talk, doesn't really 658 00:33:16,559 --> 00:33:19,079 give off much of a personality, but he's actually a 659 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:23,599 very entertaining and funny person when he speaks. And when 660 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,599 he said that, kind of the whole table started laughing, 661 00:33:27,039 --> 00:33:29,720 like just the the uber confidence he had that he'll 662 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,920 be right, like I'll be right, I'll get another. 663 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,119 Speaker 2: Cash there you go? All right? 664 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: So Event number three is going to stream on Monday, 665 00:33:36,799 --> 00:33:39,319 four pm Eastern time, one pm Pacific time. As I mentioned, 666 00:33:39,359 --> 00:33:43,079 two hundred ninety seven, five hundred dollars up top. We'll 667 00:33:43,079 --> 00:33:45,920 also have the Event number four final table on Tuesday, 668 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,960 five on Wednesday, and then six on Thursday. That's all 669 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,880 going to lead into the PGT Million Dollar Championship January 670 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:59,119 tenth through eleventh, two days of live streaming coverage from 671 00:33:59,119 --> 00:34:01,240 that event. The event is capped at fifty players, there 672 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,359 won't be more than that, but likely a few less, 673 00:34:04,559 --> 00:34:07,799 and then the top six will pay five hundred thousand 674 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,760 dollars up top. And then I also want to mention 675 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,840 that we just announced the new season of High Stakes Poker, 676 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:21,079 premiering Monday, January thirteenth. Several few new faces, I should say, 677 00:34:21,119 --> 00:34:24,840 are making their high stakes poker debut Jared Blesnick Scott, 678 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,679 sever Ryan Feldman, and Sam Kekey. Sam Kekey is the 679 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,559 name that you guys probably have no idea who that is. 680 00:34:32,599 --> 00:34:37,199 He is the I think founder and president, founder and 681 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,800 a CEO. I don't know exactly, but of Monkey Tills. 682 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,280 They like sports betting and fantasy platform all that sort 683 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:48,800 of stuff, but absolute wild character plays, probably wilder than 684 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,400 his personality is. So get ready for that because it's 685 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,039 gonna be an absolute gong show out there. You have 686 00:34:55,079 --> 00:34:58,480 Phil Helmuth, Andrew Robol, Alan Keating, Nick air Ball, and 687 00:34:58,599 --> 00:35:01,960 Rick Solomon are all turning this season. That should give 688 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,320 you an idea just of how wild and crazy this 689 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,599 season can get. I mean, Keating, Airball, Solomon, I mean, 690 00:35:08,639 --> 00:35:10,679 come on, probably got a helmets blow up in there 691 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,639 at some point. I mean, the guy always blows up 692 00:35:13,199 --> 00:35:16,440 on our show, so expect that. Of course, I haven't 693 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,159 seen anything. I was there for like some of the tapings, 694 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,239 and I kind of got an idea of like what 695 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,719 was going on, but I have no idea really what 696 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,239 was going on. So I'm I'm very much anticipating this season. 697 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,039 Steaks are two hundred four hundred all the way up 698 00:35:30,079 --> 00:35:34,239 to five hundred one thousand. I saw the teaser video 699 00:35:34,679 --> 00:35:37,320 and there's like one clip where Solomon like looks aside 700 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,000 and says, give me a million, So I mean that 701 00:35:39,119 --> 00:35:42,599 just tells me it's gonna be bananas. So I can't wait. 702 00:35:43,519 --> 00:35:46,559 That's again coming up Monday, January thirteenth. In the new episodes, 703 00:35:46,639 --> 00:35:50,920 will be airing every Monday for High Stakes Poker exclusively 704 00:35:51,039 --> 00:35:54,159 on Poker Go. All right, that's gonna do it for us. 705 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,800 Tim's Broncos are in the playoffs. I'm sorry he's pumping. 706 00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:01,199 Although they're gonna get their doors blown off by this, right, 707 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:02,320 they're gonna get crushed. 708 00:36:02,599 --> 00:36:04,280 Speaker 2: We've seen defense. Defense is top. 709 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: Now your defense is good. It's also Josh Allen on 710 00:36:07,039 --> 00:36:10,079 the other side, you know, rookie quarterback going in a 711 00:36:10,199 --> 00:36:11,159 very tough place to play. 712 00:36:11,199 --> 00:36:13,320 Speaker 3: It's a fairy this is a fairy tale.
