Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome back to a brand new episode
of the Poker Go Podcast. We are here at the
twenty twenty five World Ties Poke. A little bit of
a different look for all of you that are on
video because we are here at the Horseshoe. We are
on on set on the floor. You look on the floor,
you look like an idiot every day. This light, this
light is pretty bright, all right. So today it was
kind of well, it was my first full day at
the World Series of Poker. It is Wednesday evening, just
past eleven pm, May twenty eighth. I just wrapped up
with a stint of commentary over at the Venetian pretty
wild game. Brian Oakin and JRB hosting three Coin was
in there. Absolutely absolutely outrageous poker that was being played
over at Venice City.
Speaker 2: Way, That's what I want to know.
Speaker 1: That was for sure for sure too, for sure too.
If not three, it was definitely two. But it might
have been three. I can't remember exactly. He might have
had an earlier or one on earlier in the stream
that I just wasn't really paying attention to. But that
is what it is. We're back here at the Horseshoe
at Paris for the twenty twenty five World Series of Poker.
So you and I walked around today, yep, and yeah,
I mean, I guess my big takeaways are it's it's
kind of the same thing every single year in that
the very beginning of the WSV always feels like the
very end this is not much going on. Yes, you know,
it's still kind of like that early like ushering everything in.
You know, there's only a couple events. Things are kind
of like starting to play down. The rooms aren't like
jam packed, the hallways aren't jam packed.
Speaker 2: You know, stuff still getting built.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, of course, that definitely stuff in here. I mean,
I know people can't see it, but everything is getting
still built. With our set, with the stage, there's there's
gonna be a bit of a new look to the Mothership,
as people call it, a whole whole whole bunch of
led walls all over the place. We got with the times,
we're finding more than three coin we brought. We brought. Uh,
we might be spending more than three bitcoin on the
new set, but here we are. So it's gonna be
a good summer. Today kicked off the five k Nolan
Hold Them, which is kind of the event that that
I want to hit on first. You know, you and
I walk the field, I don't. I don't really know
what it is. But walking that field, I was like, man,
this feels like a pretty good tournament. There's a lot
of people in there, like they make this a good field.
Speaker 2: You know what? I agree?
Speaker 3: Because a listener of the pod, a poker player, a
PGT player, he puts a little story on his Instagram
of his table. Immediately send him a message. If you
can't beat this book, you'll fly at home now because
you don't deserve to be here anymore.
Speaker 2: But yeah, lots of people we didn't recognize.
Speaker 3: You know, you were thinking of five k opening high
roller ish event of the World Series, you would see
a lot more big name notables, not a lot of us.
Speaker 2: Some people might quote dead money. We don't.
Speaker 3: We're not going to use that phrase. I mean we
can if we want, we're not going to use it.
Speaker 2: Some people.
Speaker 1: There were plenty of people that I played with in
the win six hundred dollars tournament. They were also in
that five k dead money one.
Speaker 2: Percent either way.
Speaker 3: Lots of fresh faces and it looked like, you know,
a pretty good tournament to jump in and you know,
we spoke to John Ordan on the rail and he
was like, I might getting if it looks good. Well,
John looks good.
Speaker 1: But John John didn't want to get in and risk
missing the five k PLO, which which I guess is
a scheduling question mark that I would have early maybe
I would know. I listen, oversight is like overly negative. Listen,
at some point, when you're cramming an hundred tournaments in
seven weeks, you're just gonna have overlap. That's just how
it is, and scheduling. Ultimately, the players are going to
have to deal with it, you know. So it's it's
not that big of a deal, but for him, for
John Reard, and you know, he really wants to be
sure that he can get into that five k POO
and so he didn't all at least he wasn't planning
on firing the five K no limit, which is also
an extended tournament. You know, most tournaments that make up
the WASIPP schedule are three days. This one is a
four day event. So you know, he was like, it's
a good structure. It's going to be drawn out, you know,
I mean from John Riard, And he said I could
bubble that tournament and miss miss the five K polo,
which would be like the double bad beat for him,
So he was thinking about about not getting in there.
I'm here's another thing. I'm kind of a little bit confused.
I guess you will say. I'm like where I'm supposed
to be going for coverage, Like there's Poker News, Yes,
there's also the w SIP plus app. Like I don't
really know where I'm supposed to go. What's the most
up to date, Like it's kind of tricky, Like I'm like,
I'm on Poker News right now, and I'm trying to
look at these five K nolan that hold them chip counts.
But I also know that some of these chip guns
are the exact same chip counts that I saw at
like five o'clock before I left to go to commentary.
So I mean, yes, there's a chance that people have
the same chips, but it's probably more likely that they
just not updated. So then should I go to the
Douvasity plus app? But like, what is the I mean,
you know some of the people that are working atr
move No, no, what is obviously the ws A p
and wasit plus team? Like they have people updating tournament
stuff chip counts, Like, so are they doing Like is
it like one person per table? Is it like one
person per tend tables? Like how I don't undertand I
don't exactly understand how what's going on? It's like someone
basically I need someone to like sit me down.
Speaker 2: You know what, you know what?
Speaker 1: You know how sometimes you go to a casino and
you don't know how to play craps, but they'll like
do a little crap seminar for you.
Speaker 3: Plus seven w SP plus team, pretty small couple guys
one on side two remote.
Speaker 2: Those two remote guys are coming soon.
Speaker 3: They're basically doing counts throughout the tournament, you know, getting
the big stacks, writing a few hands and putting some
posts in the stories. You'll see them as basically WSP GYM,
et cetera. And along with that, the one thing you
need to know is that the dealers are doing the
chip counts on the break, so pretty much every break
you're getting a fresh round of chip counts from the dealers.
You know, you've also got WSP plus team chiming in,
and you can also update your own chip counts in
the app. I believe in the story so you can
go if you're playing the event. Let's say you know
you're in the Colossus, you can you know, write a story.
Oh I just doubled up. Here's my chip count and
it will update that way too, So lots of different ways.
I would say, a little more up to date than
Poker News, but less hands. So if you want the hands,
you got a pocon news. You want the chip count
to see draw and that kind of stuff. Clark you
can go to obviously WSP plus app and what's good
for you and me? You know when you were going
over at Venetian, I was going for a walk without
photographer mcguel over here, walked into that other room. We're
going to go check out the mystery millions. You know
it was going to bag soon. Quick scroll top top
twenty chip counts. Now when I really needed a photo
of moved on, went to the Omaha High Low and
you Clyde Gaskins snack attack. Gaskins was still and I
was like, you know what, we need a photo of
Clyde Loyal dealer at the Pogost studio. Typed Clyde Gaskins
in the search bar, gave me his seat number two
twenty one c three. We went straight to two twenty
one C three and he had eight big bets, so
no a lot it could have busted. Got a couple
photos and then we started doing the other room. So
the beauty I think of WSP plus for the media
side is that, you know, we can find names, we
can find where people are sitting, you know, similar to
what pokenes do with mystack. You can update your chip counts,
you can see other people's chip counts, you can see
who's at your table. So I think it's this positives
from both players media and also I talk to nearly
every staff member here that I have a relationship with
the tournament directors.
Speaker 2: They love it, they absolutely love it. They think it's.
Speaker 3: Emerging of poker, Ratlas and k Holdham. They're taking the
best of that of each of them put it together,
making their life a million times easier. So if the
staff is signed off on, you know, WSP plus, I
think that's a pretty good thing. So I'm look, I'm
going to look at both, but when I'm walking around,
I'm going to pull up WSB plus. I can see
the clock instantly, and I can see, you know, the
chip count, see where people sit and kind of go
from there and then you know you're going to get
your updates however you want to.
Speaker 2: Outside of that, I.
Speaker 1: Heard maybe you'll be able to confirm because you might
be more in the know than I am. I heard
that WSP plus app is also getting a hand feed
from Poker News or are they just like writing the
same hands as Poker News at times?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they have, they currently have, like I said,
two remote they'll be back concern and they were cross posting,
you know, taking some of the Poconese hands, putting them
in the in the w s P plus story. It's
kind of like a Twitter timeline, I guess is a
good way to say it now.
Speaker 1: But but what I'm getting at is that is that
is like basically a hand cheek agreement between them, like
they're not They're not like stealing the content.
Speaker 2: They like, are okay to do it? I think they're
okay to do it. Okay.
Speaker 1: And the reason why I'm asking is then, like why
isn't Poker News then saying like, hey, we want the
chip counts, specifically the chip counts that are counted by
the dealer on every break, to filter into our chip
counts like that should be that should.
Speaker 2: Be the filter. It's not. It's not an automatic thing, know.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying. But but those chip counts the dealers
do at the table and they go into WSP plus,
those should also go through the poke news dot com.
Speaker 4: That should be the quid pro qro here. You know,
you scratch my back, I'll scratch type of thing. Because
the WSP plus guys, uh, it's not a it's not
a feed. They they they're rewriting it themselves, just like pokws.
Speaker 1: I will be willing to bet you whatever you want
that these two dev teams can figure out a feed. Okay,
I would be willing to layer with large weight drive.
Let's just figure it out. But here's the thing.
Speaker 3: There's two events yesterday, there's four events today. Right come
Day twelve of the World Series, where there's nine events
going on and just non stop stuff and file tables.
I don't think we're going to see a lot of
this cross posting. You know, with only a small number
of WSP plus team members, I think they're going to
be focused on their event or their their moment or
whatever kind of thing they're covering, and we won't see
a lot of that, so, uh, you know, still go
to Poconese, get your hands, still go to WSP plus
four kind of seat draws and everything like that.
Speaker 2: That's my theory anyway.
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean again, I'm just kind of it's it's
still all pretty new obviously, you know. I mean every
year there's that little acclamation period for everyone. I'm still
kind of going through it. So I'm also just here
to talk through it. I think this podcast is like
an outlet for you and I to kind of always
talk through our summers and our lives in pokers. So
that's just kind of what I'm doing. So I'm still
trying to feel out, you know, like how I want
to get the updates, what I want to do. One
thing that they got to change onsity plus you got
to deny people using these random screen names.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean there was there was what was
it was?
Speaker 1: It sucked Dick sixty nine literally was the name in
the in the employees event with like two tables left.
Speaker 3: You need to rephrase how you refer to the current
chip leader of the seven players remaining?
Speaker 1: Okay, event is he still?
Speaker 2: Is he still?
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, real names, let's go.
Speaker 2: Let's just we've chatted a little bit over there.
Speaker 3: There was you know me those WSP plus remember a
poker dot all poking news guys. There should be some override,
you know, where you can do these changes, because what's
going to happen at the end of the day when
you someone's going to try and write a win a
story about suck Dick sixty nine, Suck me sixty nine.
He's still the chip leader seven left.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: You know, so there's a little awkward. It should be
a manual override. But like, like I said, also does
see what's in the waiver? What does the waiver say?
I'm sure the waiver says something about like this kind
of thing where you can change the name, et cetera.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, No, that should just be not
you shouldn't you should just have to use your real name.
Speaker 2: Come on, come on, okay, would you? Would you?
Speaker 3: You just have the same stance instead of it being
suck me sixty nine, it was like John's dad, like
it was just something really generic or like, no, I
agree that it should.
Speaker 2: Be real names. The first of us is a little
one of the things of the line is.
Speaker 1: Makes a bit tougher the thing the whole point about
this app is so that people can follow and track
the WSP much better. Yeah, you can't do that when
people are using you know one two three s MD
seventy five eight three five, Like what is it? What
does that tell me anything? Like you know, you silly?
Speaker 3: I should better click coming, we're gonna say this guy's
name again, but he's not. I'm not gonna say we
get Quickie's name, and maybe.
Speaker 1: We're not doing anything wrong. It's literally what his name
is listened, But it's like, what are we supposed to do?
Speaker 3: You should be a a click at and then it
would load his actual name. That'd be a way to
do it too, right.
Speaker 1: Well, no, it should just be. It's the same reason
why you can't, like, you can't pre this app. You
can't give someone that name. I can't be like suck
me sixty nine.
Speaker 2: Is n name change. My name ran out of sucked
me sixty eight.
Speaker 1: I know that's what you should say. You should r seventy,
you should go one better, I do whatever. I just
think it's a bit a bit ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Outside of that, I love the app.
Speaker 1: No, no, yeah, I'm just saying that's I'm just pointing
that out I think the app is. I think the
app has been positive so far. I think there are
still steps to be even more positive. Yeah, you know,
so that's that's like a positive outlook on things, you know.
I think that one as players get more familiar with it,
you know, it'll just be like it'll be like your
secondhand thing when you're here at the w which I
think is great. One other suggestion about the app, the
font size on everything is way too big. It's just
way too big.
Speaker 2: I need to be able to read the whole name
at a minute, like you need to.
Speaker 1: Die, you know how I am with my font size
and everything's really really small. You know, like we just
got to figure this out. Yeah, okay, what's.
Speaker 3: Going on all the Look we just last fellow media
member Connor Richards poconews in seventh place. I believe in
the industry employees event. You know, we're just talking about
the aforementioned name that I'm not going to say, but
his name is Christopher Zolo. He is the current chip leader.
Looks like we have yet six left chasing sixty four
thousand dollars. First, I've got a buddy at the final table,
so good luck. Pedro Pedro. He plays a telf point
he does and he also deals sometimes on as a
dealer and a fourse advisor deals up on the main stage.
Speaker 2: But he's still in.
Speaker 3: Another poker media member, Jeremy Guy's finished twelfth place, poker
goes own. Keegan McCann twenty ninth places. Not good enough
Keegan aces into Queens, did not win that hand, uh
and he was out. So but good ron to Kegan.
But yeah, that's that's going to come to a conclusion.
Maybe tonight. I don't know, I think I might need
a thirty.
Speaker 1: Do you mean maybe tonight? It's only eleven thirty. They
need to finish this tournament. You know, you know what
these people this is. This is the industry, employesment. They
got to work tomorrow. Okay, so this is this is
how this has got to happen. You gotta finish this out.
I can't imagine. The structure is a main event structure,
so this should end.
Speaker 2: It's the main event for the EASE. Fine, I'm not.
Speaker 1: Disagree with that. I'm just saying it's a little bit
of a faster structure. Fairly decent drop off in numbers
in this event. Eleven and eighty nine last year, nine
hundred and fourteen this year. Also a drop off in
the fifteen hundred dollars Omaha eight or better tournament.
Speaker 2: That's that's registrations closed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw in the thing that the prize pool
was confirmed nine to twenty eight last year, nine to
ten this year.
Speaker 2: I'm just rounding out that ain't a big drop. But
that doesn't count.
Speaker 1: It's not a big drop off on its own. I
will one hundred percent agree with you, but I'm just
saying that it's a trend. It's that is now too
that I'm looking at. Okay, now, I know some people
were messaging us about the Mystery Millions tracking down. I
think people are forgetting that those big field, no limit
hold them tournaments, Mystery Millions, Millionaire Maker, Monster Stack. You know,
those tournaments have added a starting flight. So even if
even if it seems like, oh my god, it's down
two thousand players whatever, well, they're going to just make
up for it all on the final day, so I
wouldn't worry too much about that. The one thing that
I will say on the Mystery Millions, though, is that
you and I have talked about this many times. Final
starting flight is on a Saturday, and you back it
up from there. They started on a Tuesday after Yeah, Tuesday, Wednesday,
No final Friday, Saturday. Oh it is Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday. Listen.
I think there's there's five. I thought there was. I
thought the three last year and four. Yeah the year
you're the fact it was fine, Well is it fall? No? No, No,
I thought I was thinking in my head that there
was three last year and four this year. I don't
know why I thought that, But whatever, I'm wrong, don't
help me do that. I'm wrong. I'm probably gonna be wrong.
Nineteen thousand.
Speaker 3: That's rich right here. Put a put a Donnie's wrong. No,
you know you need and you know we need Donny Wrong.
Speaker 1: The d NEX Oopsie meter. You know we need we
need the poke rel podcast, you know, screw up meter.
I won screwed out, but I'll correct myself. I just
think that I think that the first flight being Tuesday
after Memorial Day weekend, like it's a little bit of
a slow start.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I'll say, one, people coming off a holiday weekend, they're
going to probably try and get their ducks in a
row if they're traveling all that sort of stuff. Maybe
coming on a Wednesday, coming on Thursday. Fire those final flights. Okay, fine.
The other thing that I would like to I would
be curious to look at is I mean, the win
has a competing event the eleven one point five million guarantee.
Speaker 3: Now, so it does aria. What is av they have believe?
It's a one gay mister Mountain.
Speaker 1: Why are all these people doing the same tournament at
the same time, because what are we doing?
Speaker 2: Very nice?
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the Mister Millions is the biggest one
of them all. You know, you're not gonna be able
to win a million dollars in those other tournaments. And
not only can you win a million dollars, you can
win a million dollars multiple times in the Mister Millions
because you could pull a million dollar bounty and you
could win first place. Yeah, so that's badass. I just
think stacking all those on top, you know, is going
to be something. So I'm just I'm just curious, you know,
you and I, at least myself. Sorry, I shouldn't put
you in there with me because I'm gonna be the
dumb one a lot of times that I don't want
to rope you into my stupidness. Coming into the summer,
I was more worried about how other venues might fare
with things. So I'm curious, like, is that win event
hurting right? I haven't checked in on the numbers for
it had a one point five million guarantee eleven hundred
dollars buy and so I would guess they need fifty
hundred runners in that one. So you know, how is
that one doing? What's happening over at that ARIA tournament?
You know? And then you can also say they're like, okay,
if those if those are tracking, I'd say the win
one is tracking to get three million in the prize pool. Well,
you would assume that that was taking away from the
early days of Mystery Millions.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: That's not to say the Mister Millions isn't going to
get there and be very big at the end of it,
because they still have starting flights to go on in
the week. My other only question as it relates to
like starting the Mystery Millions now is and I think
I said, there's a couple episodes ago. Is easing in
because you have this new app? Yeah, you know, so
kind of starting a little bit slower to start and
not just have a huge possible twenty thousand entry field.
But whatever, I think everything's going pretty well overall. You know,
we have heard things kind of on bull sides. I
think anything that I've heard that's been I would deem
as negative towards the app is more about like just
having to wait in line, get verified, that sort of stuff.
But once that's done, it seems like everything is very positive.
Speaker 3: We had some people today, a friend of the podcast,
bend Low, say he thought it was going to take hours,
came in, took seconds.
Speaker 2: So I think it was mainly just you know, the
first day or two.
Speaker 1: Well, poker players are notoriously late to everything, So I.
Speaker 3: Thought, look, if you we're at home listening to this
part and coming in, say for you know, the Friday flight,
and you're coming in tomorrow, you know, after work or something,
it seems like you're not going to have too many issues.
Obviously there's going to be normal. Can you know people
doing the same thing as you. But it seems like
everything's starting to smooth out. A lot more staff for
here now helping people, making sure they're done all the
steps on WSB plus and and they're ready to pretty
much just verify and deposit money. So it's definitely you know,
started bad. I think it's a lot better now, and
I think we're on track for no more hopefully no
more issues with this registration process.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's not it's not necessarily an issue.
It's just it's taking longer than I think people expected.
I will also say that I think poker players are
generally impatient.
Speaker 2: So have you verified yet? No?
Speaker 1: I mean I don't. I don't plan on playing another event. Yeah,
but I don't plan on playing another event till the
mini main event.
Speaker 2: When's that like July? So oh that's forever. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I don't know how to do anything. Why do
I get out to sign?
Speaker 2: Not good point?
Speaker 1: Actually, the next event that I would play is Antac
Team with you.
Speaker 2: You got to figure out what's going on with that one?
Speaker 1: What do you mean what's going on with that?
Speaker 2: How do I do I buy in? Do you buy
in buying for haaf? Are you buying Vahama?
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you. We'll figure that out. We'll figure
that out later.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to get that answer.
Speaker 1: On the other thing that stuck out to me walking
through Yourseshoe and Paris is the new look, new feel,
new layout of the Paris Ballroom. They shifted where the
cast game section is. You kind of walk into that
room and it's like boom, the cash game section is
right there. I also said to you that it felt
like there was fewer tables in there, and so things
are a little bit more spaced out. But I like
the new layout, like I think it. I think it
looks really good in there. I think it's nice and clean,
you know. I don't know. I just kind of liked
everything that they had going on over there, so it
felt good. We'll see, we'll see how things go. Yeah,
I don't know. Those are kind of my initial observations.
What else you got. We spoke to Jeremy Osmas, the
captain of Team DPMD.
Speaker 2: So I tried to apply the pressure you were telling
him the chill.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't. We don't need to apply any pressure. He's like,
you've got a lot of pressure on me. I don't
care what you do, man, Just have fun this summer,
go win a bazillion.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: We I talked to quite a few poker players today
actually today, A lot of comments about the hair. First
of all, a lot of well done with the draft
Texas Mike said, well done. A couple of other kinds,
some other random people say good job doing that. Talked
to day od B a little bit, called him out.
He called me out. Why you doing He's like, what
do you mean? I was quiet. I'm like, you know,
I kind of said that because I know you're listening,
and he was very quiet. Yeah, but whatever, either way,
it's you know, I'm.
Speaker 1: Telling you we need paddles. Paddles.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but lots of positive comments on that. You know,
we're going about to We met Crannon after the first
brace and winner of the World's Series of Pocus.
Speaker 1: So you're exciting your buddy.
Speaker 2: Is he run?
Speaker 1: I mean he cracked aces with ten with a ten, yeah,
as you should. When they got it all in pre
flop he had a four flush.
Speaker 2: And that's how we do it.
Speaker 1: That's how you that's how you win tournaments. Pedro Green
shut out, Pere Lucky is better than being good. Poker
News always has one or two guys that go really
deep in this thing. They always seem to do very
very well. What else we got going on.
Speaker 3: Well, we have mister millions Day one B that's coming
to a close very soon. Actually it may have closed.
A quick look I did think it was interesting that
you can. We should ask about this to get clarification.
Maybe maybe it's just a rule that I'm overlooking.
Speaker 1: But because you can cash in all the flights, correct,
you can cash five times?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Does that give me five fancy points?
Speaker 2: I wouldn't know that.
Speaker 1: That could be the difference of when you're losing fantasy.
Speaker 2: Right, that is true, and I'm looking at these ship counts.
Speaker 3: Jason DeWitt takes a hit ninth place one point one million,
Elvis Thomas eighth place one point one million, a couple
of names I don't really know up the top.
Speaker 1: Well, this is interesting. They twenty five k Fantasy. The
prize pool first place is million dollars. Is the same
as the year that we wanted.
Speaker 2: They just added another place and that's probably good though.
Speaker 1: No, let's play for it.
Speaker 2: All our boys, Sweet Loue ap Gaza eight hundred.
Speaker 3: And are looking at I'm looking at the chip counts,
so the mister Million's flight won't be see.
Speaker 1: The thing is is we we record this podcast the
video version on my iPhone, so I don't have access
an iPhone.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: I talked to Ray Hanson today, right, and he said,
thank you, I go, huh, goes. I was driving in
you know, he's from Houston, driving through the mountains of
Denver or whatever it was to get I don't know
you go through Denver to get to Vegas.
Speaker 1: He was driving yesterday where he's coming from.
Speaker 2: He's Houston.
Speaker 1: Then I don't think you go through Denver.
Speaker 3: I'm not really good with American geography. But he was driving,
he goes. You know what, I listened to the whole draft.
I had it on my iPhone playing as I was driving.
Speaker 1: Oh, let's feel safe ray now he said, look kind
of a little bit. I was listening to it, but yeah,
the YouTube dream boy was driving across the country. That's
real safe Ray, and save the gambling for the ws
be not on the road.
Speaker 2: Sell me.
Speaker 3: He had like he had a decent stack on the
bubble of the flight. One BA the mystery millions and
Mon's of money was going only in every hand.
Speaker 1: Shocker. I'm so surprised.
Speaker 2: Did you hear about Mon's money?
Speaker 1: He's a lunatic.
Speaker 3: Week he laid Alan Kessler thirty two to one to
win bracelet this year, and then he he's side bet.
I think ten players versus Alan Kesler because Kessler didn't
get drafted in the twenty five K fantasy, so Alan's
mad that didn't get drafted. Madi sound's mad, but they
didn't go drifted for three dollars. I love the fantasy,
It just it just rubs people's egos the wrong way.
It's the best thing is thirty two to one the
ray price. It feels like it should be more longer.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I really don't know. It feels like
it has to be longer.
Speaker 1: Right, I mean, I don't know. All I know is
Alan Kesler was in the poker Stake chat complaining about
the structure of the OA, saying that it was faster
than some six or dollars tournament. I mean, this guy
is just outrageous with his complaints.
Speaker 3: Better the structures either way. One B is coming to
a close in about fifteen.
Speaker 1: Minutes, so they play into the money and down to
twenty two levels, okay with how long are the levels
on day one?
Speaker 2: Maybe thirty minutes, right, thirty or forty minutes?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean nine players that eighteen hundred started the fight,
so they're getting down pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: How many were in the play last year? I mean
not that it matters because there's everyone actually started.
Speaker 2: I don't really think it's worth comparing, but I.
Speaker 1: Mean it's worth comparing the overall number. I mean you
think that they should. I think they got right around
eighteen thousand, a little bit more last year with an
extra flight. I mean I think you would hope they
would get in nineteen or twenty. Yeah, I think that
would be the hope. Which you know, those final flights
of these multi flight Nolan man Holden tournaments are always
just ridiculously big. So you know, I expect whenever that
day one e is is just going to be wild,
wild wild.
Speaker 2: So the other event today.
Speaker 1: It looks like they got the final four hands being
played in the five K. Continue.
Speaker 2: Do you have an other event that started? We have
the five K.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that one's eight day, eight handed, four day event
that's going to take forever, according to some people, which
will be our first we'll dream the first livestream chip Leta.
As of this Manute Victoria Liveshit's PGT regular. She's as
four hundred k. Sewan Daniels, who I threw a little
dig at Austen.
Speaker 2: Where is he being wise? In another the studio three
hundred and thirty K.
Speaker 1: He was Quinn wpts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess so.
Speaker 3: Brian Green, he's up there two and twenty six K,
Tony ran Linn one hundred and ninety six K, trying
to look for for our boys.
Speaker 1: Okay, but our boys have the same counts as when
I left here at five o'clock, So I don't trust.
Speaker 3: Jeremi Asma's hundred and ten K. Eerie Richard Sign eighty
seven K.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when I left they had they had those those
exact sacks.
Speaker 3: Well they're still in though, at least that means they're
still in, because that means busted. So how do you
know that they're stilling because if they've busted you on yours,
on yours, you're looking on I'm on Poker News.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So that's got registration open for I think until start
of play tomorrow, no first level, first break tomorrow. And
the other vendor sided today fifteen hundred Omaha high Low,
the greatest Omaha high Low player in the world's self
proclaimed Clyde Snacker, Tack Gaskins, who we talked about this
other show. Fourteen chips right now, one hundred and fifty
five k. We must have given him some good luck.
When we took that photo, I got four. I got three.
Clyde Gaskins snack attack hats do you want three?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: I had to give one to be given to you.
Speaker 1: Is that where you got him?
Speaker 2: I got him via another method, but I have him.
Speaker 3: But chip later on, John Hollys, John Holly chip later there,
like I said, Clyde Gaskins, fourth defending raining WSP Player
of the SIVA commented on my beautiful mullet. Fifth in chips,
he's common another three bracelets. Robin Msrah he's up in
the top ten. Quick score down. Scott Clement's has some chips.
It's a little quick, little recap of the four events
going on today.
Speaker 1: I love because you just get you get these people
that I'd be like that person would never play this tournament,
But here they are. Chris Unichan is just in this
fifteen hundred eight for god knows what reason he's playing
that tournament. Like I'm like, Chris Unigan is, like, you know,
he'll play most of the no limit stuff, obviously the
super big buy and stuff. No, he's just fifte eight.
I'm in there. Raco bets maybe, I mean, who knows,
I mean it could be anything. I mean, it could
be yeah, is he in there on your thing? Because
it could be an incorrect thing where I'm looking at.
You know, I just want to verify. But I mean
it says he's in there, so I don't have any
reason to doubt why he would be in there.
Speaker 2: He's one of the chip leaders, Yeah, Chris, I mean
why would why wouldn't he be? Yeah, why wouldn't he be?
Who would we have? And you know John Shulman saw
him in the five K.
Speaker 1: In the five K? Yeah, beautiful, good. We're gonna get
three people at the final table the five Oh, we
got Tommy Coral and the saw.
Speaker 2: Tommy carl in this. Didn't see Baris Angelo in the
five K.
Speaker 1: I did not either. He liked my tweet, So I
don't know what.
Speaker 2: Way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I'm sure. I'm sure he's on his way.
He'll probably win. I heard he's it's funny. I heard
he's bracelet chasing. Well, okay, great, I mean I don't
One other thing that's also been happening to me more
so than any other year is but NonStop getting hit
up to make side bets for fantasy, which I don't
do side bets. I did one. I did one because
it's with the Friends with Jeff Platt our team versus
his team. I shouldn't have done it, though, because I
actually really like his team, so I'm probably taking the
slight worst of it. Maybe we're as they say, I mean,
we're probably it's probably even. So why would I, you know,
why would I just take even money? That said? You know,
I don't often do side bets. I just have too
much money wrapped up in the team, so I don't
care to do the side bet stuff. So yeah, I
just kind of stay out of the way for all
that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2: But you know, it is what it is.
Speaker 1: I watched Daniel grand News vlog as did you where
I watched? I watched a good chunk of it. I
didn't watch all of it, yet I watched the whole thing.
Speaker 2: It was so my cameo.
Speaker 1: Cameo huh oh at the beginning. Yeah, yeah, when he
walked in. The vlogs are great. Absolutely love them. I'm
happy they're back. I wish Daniel would do more of
them throughout the year, but you know, that's fine. Getting
the getting the rundown. Did you see any random player
of the days oh, it's time for another segment. Tim
came up with that. Donnie will try to ignore it
as much as possible. It's what random hooker player did
you see today? I already know by the way that
Rich is gonna yell at us because you're probably way
out of frame because you keep moving all around because
you had to hold the microphone.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's talk about these Look at this, Look at this?
How high this mic I know they're ridiculous. We have
high and you know I I just feel comfortable like
holding it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, any random player of the day, though, how
random are we talk? I mean, just throw some out
there and I'll tell you if it's wrong.
Speaker 3: Okay, well we can start with Chris Sony Channing in
the fifteen hundred per.
Speaker 1: Well, that's not random player of the day. Random player
of the day is.
Speaker 2: Like, I think it matters what event you're into.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, Now you're just now you're
just bending the rules.
Speaker 3: It wasn't paying much attention to the random player of
the day. To be honest, I saw, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll tell you that I did not. I
don't think I saw anyone random player of the day
would be Lee Child's dealing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's random player of the day, random person of
the day. That's how he gets that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I mean that's really it. You know, everything
else I feel like has been par for the course.
I think yesterday we got word that Huck Seed was
in the one K Mystery Millions, which I think that
would be a pretty big surprise. Now I didn't personally
see him, but if true, I mean that's I mean
his huck back, because he'd blast and everything. What's he doing?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: Done? I I really done.
Speaker 1: I have not seen Gus Hansen, even though it sounded
like the people at the draft had some intel that
Gus hanson and was going to be playing a lot here.
So I guess we'll see. I know Daniel also talked
about Gus in his vlog. He had him on one
of his lists. I think maybe Tier four or Tier five,
So you know, again, it'll be great to see if
the Great Dane is back. No Ivy sighting yet unless
he's popped into the five K that I haven't seen.
But no Ivy sighting yet, Phil how much? Oh, by
the way, something that I think went under the radar,
So you and I have been on Phil Hellmuth he's
going to play the main event? Okay, Yeah. Then he
does this this social media poll the other day and
he's like, I'm gonna let you guys decide, you know, vote,
should I play? Should I not? I mean, he's already
just backing out as we all expected. But when he
showed up at the draft, I don't know if you
caught it on Daniel's vlog. Daniel said, hey, Phil, we
need to know, are you playing the main event? And
Phil said, yes, I am maybe the poul that ended. Well,
I mean, I'm just saying a consensus yes, of course,
it's a yes. I mean, come on, man, he should
uh he should come out as Benedict Arnold for being
a trader to himself. Wow. I'm just just saying, right,
he's just or Pinocchio because he's because he lied, you know.
I mean look, I'm just saying, like the guy got
the guy lied. I mean, we all thought it was
ridiculous that he was not going to play anyway. The
question is when is he going to play? Is he
going to come in super late on day one? Is
he gonna late reg on day two?
Speaker 2: Listen?
Speaker 1: Phil should just play Day two? ABC come in max late.
If he advances, he's got the next day off. And
then if you advance there for that, I mean, it's
just okay, you're in it, man, Like, that's how you
should do it, you know, like and and and and
him coming in late, coming in for the day to
ABC like that plays to his strengths not as deep.
You know, he can just kind of play his game,
be tight, pick his spots to the whole zoom zoom.
Stuff like that would be you know, if I was
advising him, that's what I would tell Bill Hemmeth to do.
You know, come in at the close of reg to ABC,
be the last person to register on that day. That way,
if you advance, you got that next day off, then
you come back for day three. I mean, that's the
way to do it, Phil, that is the way to
do it. If you are concerned about the length, the
stamina thing and all of that, all right, I don't
think you and I have much else to talk about. Again,
it's still obviously very early here at the twenty twenty
five WSP Tomorrow, it does sound like we are going
to have a Bracele winner to talk about from the
industry employees event. So we'll hit on that, and yeah,
stay tuned all somewhere long. First first stream is coming
up on Saturday. It's going to be the final table
of the five K nolam At hold them. What was
the code word that we had yesterday.
Speaker 2: Ive K fantasy all one word, got it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So we're gonna basically, and you can correct me
if I'm wrong with the way that I believe you
described it is. We'll have these code words that people
can enter into the Gleam contest. The link will be
in the description of this podcast, both wherever you're listening
to your podcast or if you are watching on YouTube,
and then we'll have the code word be up for
a couple of days and then we'll switch it out,
we'll go to another one, etc. But for right now,
it is twenty five K fantasy. So get on in there,
all right. That's gonna do it for us for Tim
Duckworthy in the Shades. My name is Donnie Peters, and
we will talk to you guys next time. So yeah,
ky
