Speaker 1: Hello everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the
Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donnie Peters. It is
twelve oh eight am on Tuesday, June ninth. Another show today,
another couple of winners. We're gonna touch on Artur Martrosian
grabbing gold very Slit number four, and then Lou Brayden
is the coldest player in the five hundred dollars freeze out.
The Monster Stack is down to the final eighty players.
That's the final eighty from a field of eleven, nine
and thirty three. And then we got a whole bunch
of other events that we'll touch on and get you
guys updated. There were one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight nine tournaments. Nine tournaments that took place at the
World Series of Boker today. I should actually clarify that
nine WSP Gold Bracelet events, because I'm sure there was
two to four daily deepstack tournaments, maybe a satellite or two.
I don't know. Just feels like endless poker is being
played and you absolutely love to see it. If you
want to play some poker and heck it could be endless,
then head on over to play PokerGO dot com and
get in on the action with some free online poker.

So start playing today without wasting any more time, let's
just hop right into it. Here we had the twenty
five thousand dollars six max high Roller taking place, playing
down to a winner. Arter Martirosian tops all two hundred
and forty two entries to win almost one point three
million dollars. He beat Pavel plus heads up. After the win,
Artur spoke with Jeff Platt on the stream. He told
Jeff Platt that he felt that he and Pavel were
the two best players at the final table, so then
it was of course fitting that they ended up heads
up against one another. Archur Martirosian has won three previous bracelets.
He won the twenty twenty three to ten K Heads
Up Championship online at Gigi Poker. That same year at
do WSIP Paradise he won the eight hundred dollars Flip
and Go event, and then twenty twenty five last summer,
he won the twenty five k heads up No Limit
Hold Them Championship. This tournament or this win being his
fourth WSOP Gold bracelets and quite a bit of prize
money there one point two eighty six million dollars this
twenty five k high roller. Because it is a ten
k or higher buy in event, it is a PGT
qualifying tournament at the World Series of Poker. Seven hundred
points were earned for march Erosian that allowed him to
climb into the top fifteen of the PGT leaderboard. Think
he's now sitting tied with Galen Hall in thirteenth place.
I believe so Archer mars Rosian making some waves. Obviously,
he's one of the absolute best in the world when
it comes to high rollers. Him and plus Off battled
for quite a bit heads up, both very very good players.
Plus Off a couple of years ago won the millionaire
maker at the DOBISIP. I believe it was Remco and
myself on the call for that one, so we got
to see him first hand take that title. Both played
very well heads up, but ultimately it was Archer Martirosi
and getting the job done and just absolutely freaking crushing
the damn thing. Plus I've took eight hundred and fifty
seven thousand dollars for a second place Sewn Winter you
got third, another close call for Seawan Winter six hundred
thousand dollars for him, and then rounding out the final
table of six, you had Yasuki Mickey from Japan in fourth,
Marius Gersa in fifth, and Chance Corneth about out in
sixth place. Over in the five hundred dollars freeze out tournament,
a tournament that attracted four thousand and one hundred entries,
you had Brayden lou topping all comers to win his
first WSP Gold bracelet and one hundred and ninety six
thousand dollars. He's a twenty one year old kid out
of San Diego and I saw on the World Series
of Poker Twitter account that this was his second live
tournament ever. That's absolutely ridiculous. The fact that his second
live tournament after not only is abas apgold Braso, but
it's Abasop gold bras when you had to beat a
field of forty one hundred entries, So that's just pretty
damn cool. He had his father on the rail for
this one. He did appear in the winners photo with
his son, as you might expect, and it sounds like
just just you know, going through this Poker News recap
article that they stopped in Las Vegas on his way
home from school in Boston. He recently graduated from Gordon College,
so they were driving from Boston to California. They planned
it to go through Las Vegas. They stop off at
the World Series of Poker, They hop into a tournament. Bang,
the guy just rips it off for one hundred ninety
six dimes. Just absolutely freaking it crazy. Now, his first
tournament ever, his first live tournament ever was the fifteen
hundred dollars Monster Stack, which we'll touch on in a
little bit, but Lou did play in that one. Doesn't
sound like he got much going there, but then hopped
in the five hundred dollars freeze out and bang, next thing,
you know, he's winning almost two hundred k. That's just
I mean, this is what you know, w s AP
dreams are made of. You know, it's you're just kind
of getting your start in poker, especially in live poker.
You're I know, you know, some people might say, well,
it's only a five hundred dollars, by who cares. It's
it's a sipgo race. So the guy topped more than
four thousand people won almost two hundred thousand dollars. That's
just absolutely incredible. So we'll see what the future holds
for Brandon lou Maybe he starts playing more tournaments. Maybe
he says, you know what, Dad, you go on to Cali. Okay,
you you finish out the right, I'm gonna stay here.
I got I got a little bit, you know more
in finished business here. Maybe I'll try and win number two.
Maybe I'll keep firing away. I mean, why not, right,
I mean, might as well. If you're hot, you're hot,
you might as well just take the shot. Well, while
you're here in Vegas, So let's go the monster stack.
As I just mentioned, they're down to eighty entries in
that one from a field of eleven thousand and nine
hundred and thirty three. Everyone left is guaranteed nineteen thousand dollars.
They just finished up day three, they are heading into
day four. This is, I believe a five day tournament.
I think tomorrow the plan will be to play down
into the final table and then day five they would
finish it out. Valentin Vorniku a name that I hadn't
heard in quite some time until the twenty five K
Fantasy Draft when somebody threw him out and drafted him.
And it turns out that, you know, people were saying
that he's going to be playing a pretty hefty schedule.
I did see him in at least one, if not two,
of the ten K Championship mixed events. I think he
was in the stud one, might have been in another
one as well, so you know he's out there firing away.
One of the tricky things with warnacup not a tricky thing,
A tricky thing to pin down is that he has
a whole crap ton of WSP circuit rings. Doesn't have
a WSP goal basicly yet yet. But what's tricky is
that I couldn't really pin down exactly how many circuit
rings he had. I saw on social media that he
had thirteen. Then I saw on the internet, just I
think on Wikipedia maybe or just a Google search, that
he had sixteen. But then the w s AP website
listen with fourteen, so I don't really know how many
he has, but he has a ton of these things.
He's in the top three or five all time of
w SP Circuit ring winners. He's a crusher, you know.
He used to be around playing a lot more, at
least in terms of like what I saw, you know,
come across my desk or reading online or whatever, of
him winning, going deep, et cetera. I used to always
see him grinding every single day at the World Series
of Poker. These more recent years felt like I hadn't
seen much of him, But that doesn't mean he's not out.
They're playing. I believe he was in La playing a lot,
and here he is back at the World Series of Poker,
and now he's one of eighty entering at Day four
of the w SP Monster Stack. The prize pool has
been announced in that tournament, or sorry, the remaining prize
bol has been announced. It's more than one point three
million dollars up top for the winner. I did mention
that all the eighty players remaining are guaranteed nineteen thousand dollars,
so first place one million, three hundred and two thousand dollars,
Second place nine hundred K, then seven hundred K, five hundred,
twenty K, four hundred K, three hundred and five K,
two hundred and forty thousand, one hundred and ninety thousand,
and ninth place is one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Some of the other notables that bagged heading into day four,
you got Andrew Moreno in second place. I saw on
his Instagram story that it was basically two big pots
on the day. The first one was sevens versus jacks
that allowed him where he spiked a jet or sorry,
he spiked a seven against one of the chip leaders
to get a huge stack there, and then one another
big pot later on. Next thing you know, he's up
over twenty million. I saw towards the end of the
night he busted someone with kings versus king that was
in the Poker News updates, and he ends up sitting
second entering Day four. Back in twenty sixteen, he finished
sixth in the Monster stack for two hundred and forty
two thousand dollars. In twenty nineteen he got forty ninth.
In twenty twenty four he got seven hundred and forty seventh,
and then in twenty twenty five last summer he got
one hundred and twenty third. So some very deep runs
had for Moreno in the Monster stack seems like it
might be one that you know he wants to he
wants to ultimately go on to win, and knowing how
good that guy is in big field Nolan man Holden tournaments,
especially when he has a lot of chips and he
can do some damage, I expect Moreno to make a
really deep run here, but I also expect him to
not back down in the slight, you know, kind of
like if you go back to event number two Daniel
Gebba winning that one where we talked about how he
said you can't hesitate in poker. If you see a
spot and you think you got to take it, you
need to take that shot. And that's the type of
player that Moreno is. So you know there's a chance
that things flame out for him with him going for it,
But ultimately I would say he goes deeper more so
than any bus out earlier because he's just that good
of a player. You got Jego Morose made the wa
s B Main Event Final table a couple of years ago.
Aaron Massey still in, Kevin Eister aka one six six disease,
John Wnock another dubbas that be Main Event Final tablest
second place last year to Michael the Grinder, Miss Rocky
so Big was still doing his thing. Aaron Johnson is in.
Aaron Johnson won the WPT Prime Championship, almost ten thousand
entries in that one when he won it in December,
one thousand dollars buy in there. So Aaron Johnson an
absolute freaking crusher. He final table the Millionaire Maker or
the Monster Stackle. Maybe it was the Monster Stackle or
the Millionaire Maker. Couldn't figure out which one was. But
a second place in the Monster Sacking in twenty twenty four.
I covered that one as well. Pedro Nevez won it,
Jeremy Maher finishing in third place in that tournament. So
that's uh, that's Aaron Johnson. Know the thing or two
about these, you know big field, you know small to
middle stakes buying. Nola had Holden tournaments. He has one, two, three,
four MSPT titles. I don't know if this one counts
this three hundred and fifty dollars one, but it does
say MSBT main event, so I'm guessing it counts. I mean,
just this guy is just incredible. I mean he's probably
a little bit lesser known than Andrew Moreno, but still,
I mean, Aaron Johnson is an absolute freaking crusher. I mean,
this guy's incredibly He's got more than three point seven
million dollars in live tournament earnings, so look out for him.
We got Uri Reichenstein shout out to our fans team
from last summer. Yur, He's still in there. You have
Eric Blair still in there, Josh Samo an absolute crusher,
and then David Peters is still in there. Obviously he
had that situation that Dylan Lindy put out there on
social media not too long ago, which kind of blew
up his world. So I don't know, a little bit
of a redemption feel good story maybe for David Peters
if he's able to write things and then you know,
if that stuff that Dylan put out there is in
fact true. You know, if he's able to fix all
those those financial situations that he that he might be in,
then then great for him, you know, right, you know
we're I think we're all here for a bit of
a nice little redemption or a comeback story of feel
good story. So we'll see how that plays out. But
still a very long way to go in the monster stack.
Of course. This tournament is an absolute freaking grind. They're
going to play down to the final table on day
four on Tuesday, play the final table out on Wednesday,
and somebody is going to win more than one point
three million dollars. Some of the other other events that
took place, I mentioned that there was nine Wsipeagle Bracelet
events that took place at Paris Slash Horseshoe. Today you
had the fifty K high Roller kicking off. Brandon Wilson
is the chip leader. After day one they drew one
hundred and four entries, forty one of them bagged up chips.
But I believe registration is still open. Yeah, it's open
until the end of level ten. They played eight levels
on day one, so two more levels of registration to
start day two on Tuesday, registration will be open. Guessing
we'll get some max late registration people in there. I
was surprised to see a couple of the players in
there justin Zachi fired. You know, we saw him. He's like,
I'm sick and tired of playing the eight hundred dollars tournaments.
You know, I didn't get to play the twenty five
K six max, so here I am in this. You mean,
good for him. Brian Breck didn't really know he was
out there blasting the big high roller no limit stuff.
I know he will play bigger in the mixed game formats,
but he's out there firing as well. He finished with
the third highest stack after day one. You know, I
saw Colin Robinson in the field. You know, Colin Robinson,
a player who I've talked about on this podcast before,
but somebody who's always has been on our radar for
the past couple of years for a one dollar player
in fantasy, and very very good player can go deep
in some big field events. I know he studies a
crap ton, so stepping up his game here and really
going for it with a buy into this this fifty K.
Just rounding out the top five behind Wilson, you have
Ignacio Morone in second, Brian Breck I mentioned him, He's
in third. Christa Vogel Sang is in the mix. He
finished fourth on the leaderboard and then Mattias Ebinger finished
fifth the fifteen hundred dollars Big Oh. They are at
the final table at time over. Let me see how
many players are left. There are three players remaining. I
am not going to be finishing this one out tonight.
It's almost twelve thirty here. I'm playing tomorrow boys and girls. Okay,
So I'm gonna try and get a little bit of
sleep here before I got to wake up and get
down to the strip. But at that big O final
table three hundred and eighty seven thousand dollars up top,
we have christophor Alsondor, Scott Abrams and James Rulier are
the final three players. Scott Abrams is the only bracelet
winner among those three. He's going for bracelet number two.
But as I mentioned, we'll recap this one on the
next show over. In the two K no limit hold them,
they are down to the final two tables with twelve
players remaining. You have Irwin Paschot is the chip leader.
Braxton Dunaway, a bracelet winner and also third place finisher
from last year's WSP main event. He's still in Emmy
Beshahead is in there as well, Craig Mason looks to
be the short stack. This one has a two hundred
and eighty eight thousand dollars first place prize. The field,
as we mentioned on the last episode, nine hundred and
sixty eight entries here again. This is the two K
nola at hold them and that will likely finish out
on Wednesday. Should finish on a Wednesday, barring some sort
of crazy long final table. Day two of the ten
K Dealer's Choice took place as well. They are down
to the final two tables at time of recording, they
still have they have one more one hour level when
I'm recording this, So this field is going to change
a little bit between when I'm recording and when you
guys ultimately listen to this one. But what I can
tell you, guys is that there is a three hundred
and seventy one thousand dollars first place prize. We'll be
able to check the chip counts on Tuesday, but right now,
I see Jake Schwartz as the chip leader. I see
Chad Evesledge in there in second place. I see Jeremy Osmos,
I see Nick Shulman, I see two time bracelet winner
Ryan Miller. I see Bryce Yacki as one of the
shorter stacks. So another one of those stacked ten K
Championship fields. Ozmas is coming off a fourth place finish
in the ten K stud that was the one that
Naowa Kihara won his second gold bracelet of the summer,
his third of his career just yesterday. And then Nick Shulman.
We know Nick Shulman back at the beginning of the summer,
second place in the fifteen hundred dollars Badugi event. And
here's Nick now in the final two tables of the
ten K Dealer's Choice trying to get gold bracelet number eight.
This one has some potential for a pretty good final
table if you want to stream this one. I know
Dealer's Choice isn't easy on the graphics team, trust me,
we dealt with that. You know, we get it. But
with this sort of lineup here being a ten K
championship event, this could be a really fun one get
up on the broadcast for the fans to follow along with.
Over in the six hundred dollars Half and Half the
I mean I called half and half the PLO and
Nolan at Holdham Mix, three thirty two entries were collected
in this one, they are under two hundred. I don't
think they're done for the day, think they're getting close.
But I did see h Daniel Legrand who had a
big stack at one point throughout the day. Brian Rass
looked like he was doing well. Josh Reichard as well
Alex Livingston. So I mean, it's only a day one
of this tournament, so I'm not going to get too
deep into it, but they do have a two hundred
and four thousand dollars first place prize. This is a
tournament that I originally kind of put on my schedule,
thinking like, hmm, that could be some fun. You know.
I've talked about how I wanted to start dabbling a
little bit more in the PLO tournament streets and the
fact that I would only have to play it half
the time, you know, and then I could play some
Nolan and hold them as well. Seems like this one
would be a lot of fun, but ultimately passed on it.
But it looks like I got a really nice turnout
here with a up over thirty three hundred entries. And
then the last tournament that we're going to hit on
on today's show, we have the fifteen hundred dollars limit
hold Them I believe friend of the Pod David Odb
Baker said this is one of his top ten favorite
tournaments of the year. I know there's a lot of
limit hold Them grinders out there that just absolutely love
the limit hold them stuff. This one is a seven
handed tournament, which I'm sure many people like. And they
drew five hundred and ten entries. I have no idea
if that's up or down from the year before, but
one hundred and thirty three thousand dollars up top. It
does look like at the last break. Speaking of David
odb Baker, looks like he's got a nice chipstack here,
him and David Bach both sitting around one hundred and
twenty thousand, which is well above what they started with.
But of course day one here, pretty early on, they
are approaching one hundred entries left in the field. Again,
they started with five hundred and ten. So we'll keep
tabs on this one as we go. That's gonna do
it for me. On Tuesday, I'm going to dive into
the fifteen hundred dollars no limit turbo bounty. I've talked
about these these turbo bounties before. I really like them.
You know, I know that the WSIT calls them turbos.
I believe they have twenty minute levels. And I mean
for somebody like me who regularly plays a lot of
the stuff here around Las Vegas, you know, a twenty
structure with twenty minute blinds isn't really that bad. You know,
this is like, it's better than any of your daily tournaments.
It's it's similar to a lot of the other smaller
buy and stuff. Now. I know the price point is
a little bit higher, being fifteen hundred dollars, but you know, yeah,
it's going to be faster than the Monster Stack or
the Millionaire Maker or you know, one of those other tournaments,
but it's not that much faster than the Colossus or
the Gladia Years of Poker or any of those. Right,
So you know, this is gonna be a lot of fun,
you know, I like it. Get in there, get out.
Believe it's scheduled as a one day tournament. Hopefully I'm
in there all the way till the end, collecting boundaries
the whole way. I think it's five hundred dollars per boundary.
Maybe it's three hundred dollars per bounty. I don't know.
I'll figure that out before I get in there tomorrow,
but it starts at ten am on Tuesday, and I'm
going to try and be there for hand Numero uno,
So wish me luck everyone. As always, don't forget to
get your questions, your takes, your thoughts, any of that
sort of stuff in via email to podcast at pokergoat
dot com. I did start putting a bunch of stuff
down for another round of a mini mail bag, and
I'll get to that maybe on the next show, if
not the show after that, because you know, I think
I got enough right now, and then uh yeah, that's
gonna be that. So as always, I appreciate you guys
