WEBVTT 1 00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:21.760 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 I feel great. Great game of football that was. 8 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.359 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 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 There you go Bonnicks and them boys. 13 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:02.759 How about your boys? What's coming on over there? 14 00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:07.879 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.

Just let me have it. 117 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.279 Yeah, I mean you touched on the record breaking numbers. 118 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:03.000 We've had something that I wasn't at all expecting. 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 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 Right like, yeah, he's locked yeh, yeah, yeah. 183 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:28.919 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 He's playing on time too. That's that's interesting to me. 232 00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:43.480 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 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 The first event? 270 00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:31.240 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 Seen him. 274 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:39.120 He was all about it too. 275 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.600 He might just be over it as well, all right. 276 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:43.600 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 Wow. 304 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:19.120 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 Ninth place or eighth eighth playeah eighth. 343 00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:21.880 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 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 They do know all the implications I have. 367 00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:32.160 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 You don't need one. 377 00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:57.480 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 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
