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