Ian Johns, this guy doesn't play often, but when he
does play, he delivers so much so that every year
I wonder if I should put him on my list
for twenty five kanas and then I'm like no, because
I only see him play two to three events. That's it,
maybe four, I don't know. But he won the ten
thousand dollars buying limit hold him championship two hundred and
eighty two thousand dollars in the pocket for Ian Johns.
He topped a field of one hundred and eighteen entries.
Victor Blom got second, Anthony Zeno got third, Pedro Nevez
got fourth, Ryan Bambrick got fifth, Max Hoffman sixth, David
Lieberman seventh in good old Dan Eggs, Daniel and Lagano
with another deep run, eighth place for him, fourth gold
bracelet Ian Johnson. Four. That's a pretty exclusive club when
you get the number four. Who else is four? Like,
who's like in that area? I looked at him.
Speaker 2: Madison is definitely one of them.
Speaker 1: I just want to know, like, you know, once you
get up to that, I think, like Brian.
Speaker 2: Un might be one of them.
Speaker 1: Like you know that that group of guys you want
me to, Yeah, just list some of them.
Speaker 2: Off, but there's some We've got to start with the
legend Bobby Baldwin. There you go, the second legend, Mickey Appleman,
the third legend Billy Boy at five.
Speaker 1: Why don't you think people that actually participate in poker
these days?
Speaker 2: I was gonna say Michael, I was gonna leave with
Michael Odama there, and then you add that qualified so
that Jack Katta, Okay, that's a good one. Michael Gathiye Goro,
Mike Gardinski, Kevin Gerhart, Phil w lot Incline, Chance Cornick,
Mike Madison. We kind of already touched on Max pascatory,
David Peters Uh, Javiera obviously just won his fourth last
night hawk Seed and Ben.
Speaker 1: You really got to talk to some more about this water.
I'm okay, listen. Purified water, I'm a water stop. Purified
water is the worst water by far. Just get natural
spring water and if you want to keep it cheap.
I know people think it's ghetto, but Arrowhead natural spring
water is good.
Speaker 2: I'm a NESTI pure left gay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's horrific water. It's not what is What.
Speaker 2: Does the Peda's household have suck that? You got? Vass
or Fiji? How richie you? What do you know there?
Speaker 1: No? We we have we yeah, I mean whatever.
Speaker 2: That sounds like he's got Fiji's. Well, he's got the sound.
Speaker 1: I'll just I don't drink. I don't drink Fiji's. I
try and drink natural spring water whenever I can.
Speaker 2: Are you like we have bottled water in the fridge.
We have little ones like that size, and then we
have the big ones for when I play soccer so
I can put my electrolyzes in it. Are you like
water bottle house or you like give the filter in
the tap of your brit out what what do you
guys do?
Speaker 1: I mean, normally we just have the water that comes
out of our fridge, got it, which is probably equivalent
to this. But you know, when drinking bottled water, if
you're going to buy bottled water, I always prefer just
natural spring water. That it could be totally bogus, but
it could not be. But I I always okay, so
I bring you know, I have my water bottle that
I bring, my big water bottle. I fill it up
at home. I can tell the difference between this water
and that water all the time. And when I drink
this water, my throat gets a bit scratchy every single time.
Every time.
Speaker 2: Everything by our plumber. Not to drink the water from
the fridge. It's filtered, but not filtered as well as
we have a filtered water tap at as sink along
with the water tap. So we have two taps. And
they say, he says, you should drink from that one,
all right, because let's filter it properly.
Speaker 1: Let's I derailed us fall you always because I needed
to drink the water and I wanted to rant about
so whatever. Four bracelets for Ian Johns, you name some
of that, the company that he's in. Now he doesn't
play a lot. As I mentioned, you know, talking to
some of his friends that were around today, he was
going to come out for three to four tournaments something
like that. One of those tournaments was the fifteen hundred
dollars Horse, which he got ninth in. Pretty crazy, you know.
So he had ninth in that I think nine thousand
or ten thousand dollars and then goes on to win
this tournament his second time, winning the ten K limit
Hold Them Championship event that came in twenty sixteen, and
that was also a year when he won the fifteen
hundred horse. Oh crazy, that's what, yeah, right, both both
both in that year, and then two thousand and six
he won the three K limit Hold Him for two
hundred ninety one thousand dollars. Now he is. He moved
to second on the WSP all time money list for
limit Hold Them? Who's number one? This is my quiz
to you, and I purposely left it off the rundown
so that you couldnot read one.
Speaker 2: Give me one hint, it's.
Speaker 1: That I'll tell Okay. The first hint that I'll give
you is that he does not play poker anymore, at
least that I that I know of, we haven't seen
him in years, has multiple racelets.
Speaker 2: I want to say Daniel Lahi, but that doesn't feel right.
Speaker 1: WPT World Championship is the other hint.
Speaker 2: Corlas Motson, David Chew.
Speaker 1: Wow, David Chu.
Speaker 2: I've not seen him in a long time.
Speaker 1: He hasn't been around forever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the check's center right now.
Speaker 1: He's got in terms of dissipy limit hold them winnings,
it's more than one point two million. Crazy right, Absolutely?
Speaker 2: He was always so nice.
Speaker 1: He was He was always so so nice, so so nice.
Speaker 2: Last cash twenty sixteen for David in this event ten
k limit hold him Championshipah, fourth place. There you go crazy,
so we see what do you think he's upsid?
Speaker 1: I got no idea.
Speaker 2: Do you think Maury would know? Who? Do you think
we could find?
Speaker 1: He would probably play Maury or I think Daniel and
Legranny would know, because I believe I've heard Daniel talk
about him in the past.
Speaker 2: So yeah, okay, who can find that? Maybe that's going
to be my.
Speaker 1: I mean we'll last tomorrow or yeah, trying to find
out David Chu eight millions, that's our goal. We're going
to try and find out about David Chew and we'll
report back on the podcast at some point. I will
also say that while we're on this topic of like
kind of where are they now type of stuff, we
mentioned Scotland's Are on the last episode. You and I
both did not watch the Lapis episode because we don't
like to watch ourselves. But we have no idea if
Rich put the Scotland's Our clip in Producer Rich. Whether
or not he did, I don't care. I just had
a ten minute conversation with Scotland's Are. It's just such
a crazy world. Who was partly railing He just bagged
the monster stack. He was partly railing his friend David
od B Baker, who's also our friend. Ye, and he
said he goes way back with Odb playing Limit hold
them at the Commerce.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean wild stuff, absolute wild stuff. Ian john Zo
a quiet killer when it comes to the World Series
of Poker. Now we mentioned how he doesn't chase a
full schedule. He certainly does not, but you know he's
out here for a short period of time, not grinding
every single event. But when he shows up, especially when
it comes to limit hold him, this guy is a
freaking beast, an absolute beast. So now he's got those
four bracelets. Two of them came in this ten K
Limit Hold Them championship. He's got that other one from
the three K limit hold Him from back in two
thousand and six. Pretty rare company overall in terms of
like specialists in one format, you know, So I would
certainly say that, like when it comes to limit hold them,
Ian Johns is up there with the best, you know,
if not the best, and it's it's also it's it
is crazy to think that you can still get to
four bracelets and not be a high volume player. Like
I think of someone who's going to get to four bracelets,
and like I wouldn't be surprised if Michael Manchak Texas
Mike gets to four bracelets if he's blasting every single tournament,
sometimes multiple tournaments at one time, right, Like, you're just
gonna get there, you know. But when you have such
low volume, it's hard to realize, you know, the success.
And and John's is just I mean, I guess he's
proof that, you know, you can just be really effing
good have lemon Holdum. Yeah, he's also good at horse
I guess too, because he had that bracelet and horse,
and then he had the ninth places year. I mean,
Ian John's freaking killer. I remember when he won those
those two bracelets in twenty sixteen. I remember that it
was like, wow, like this guy's legit. But then it's
also I remember when he won it, and it was
kind of like, Okay, maybe this is guy. Guy's like
the new thing, you know, But as you came to
realize in the couple of years after, he doesn't put
in a whole big volume, so you know, you don't
you don't hear from his has often. And again it's
not that he's not a very good player. He's obviously
the elite, but he just doesn't put the volume in,
so you don't see him every single day and whatnot.
Speaker 2: I think I played with him two years ago in
the fifteen hundred Dealer's Choice holest okay, and I remember
asking him it was something about that mixed game series,
and he goes, I didn't really playing much anymore. I
kind of focus on and I want to say, like
fantasy sports. Oh so I just recall that being I'm
trying to see and find anything online about him. But yeah,
I think he was big into fantasy sports nowadays instead
of you know, full time pok A player. Yet he
is had an NFL Angstrom.
Speaker 1: What I don't know.
Speaker 2: My passionate is to use data collaboration with at his
news and I remember I can get my hands untackled
to himself is the best way possible. Head of NFL
Anstrom Austin, Texas, Remo Daily Fantasy Sports professional player. There
there you go nine years before that professional player. So
and then yeah, all.
Speaker 1: Right, well listen shout out Ian Johns for absolutely crushing
at the final table. Victor Blam got second. I already
mentioned that he now has three final tables at this DIBYSIP.
He has a second place finish in this event. He
has a fourth place finish, and he has a sixth
place finish. He has five total caches. It's his third
six figure score at the twenty twenty five WYSIP. I've
said it once before, I'll say it again the maturation
of Victor Blom. This year's WSIP, I think, is another
chapter in the maturation of Victor Blom. Three top six finishes,
very very good. He's got the runner up in the
ten k limit. Hold him now he is still chasing
his first WSP bracelet, but I mean, come on, it's coming, right.
He was once wild, he was once chaotic. I mean,
that's I think how you would describe his online play
fearless as well, you know, I mean, but it was
kind of like a combination of all of those things.
Right now, he's he's very measured, he's you know, he
seems more mild tempered at least like his play. He
definitely has the aggressive gene still, like he'll get after
it for sure, but that's fine. He seems composed when
he plays, and it's it's coming. I don't know if
the brace is going to come this year, but if
Victor Blaum continues to put in the volume that he's
putting in, not only when bracelet is coming, many bracelets
are coming. He plays all the games, he plays them
all well. He'll play limit, he'll play mixed, he'll play
big bet, doesn't matter. He'll play all the freaking biens.
I am interested to see if he hops in the
two in fifty K That's what I'm interested to see.
I don't I can't recall if he played in the past,
but I mean, one we know he can obviously play
Nolan Hold him. Well, right, Yeah, I also think that
even if he's not I don't know this, but I'm saying,
even if he's not the most studied player, I think
Victor Blam is just naturally gifted that it doesn't necessarily matter,
like some players just have it and they just understand
the game, right, you know. I know Daniel always talks
about one like super high roller guy who doesn't really
ever look at charts or study solvers or anything. He's
basically a field player. I know who that player is,
and he's freaking incredible. So I kind of liken Blom
to that sort of thing. I just don't see him
grinding solvers. I mean, maybe he is, and I'm not
aware of it, but I just see him more of
it as a naturally gifted player who can just figure
things out. He can watch really good players around them,
see what it's working, what's not, and then quickly adapt
his strategy and quickly just you know, crush. So it
will be interesting to see the fact that he's that good,
he's playing a high volume and now that he has
had this early success now no bracelet, yes, but you know,
several deep runs with that added money in the bank
world does he hop into the two fifty k. I
hope so, I really do hope so so, but we'll see,
and that event kicks off on Sunday, so we will
see very very soon. The Seniors high Roller, they are
down to the final table. They came back with like
nine million people today. They they played down to the
final table. They ultimately just bagged up about twenty minutes ago,
with four players remaining. We mentioned David odib Baker, he
is the chip leader. With four left, it's David odib Baker,
then it's Carmino Arguero ur Jaro. I probably butchered that.
Speaker 2: Year, maybe maybe.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're all over the place that I'm sorry,
Ron West and Schwan sou Chen and they're I mean,
they're all pretty close and Chay, you know, David Bakers
got thirteen million up top Chen has nine point six million.
They were playing two hundred k big blind. I think
they go to two fifty k big blind next, So
I mean, yeah, they're still they're still very close in chips,
and at this stage, you know, one pot can swing
the chip lead one way or the other. Eight hundred
and one entries in this tournaments. The final four are
guaranteed two hundred and fifteen thousand dollars six hundred and
forty six thousand dollars up top. So as this is
playing down there in the final ten minutes or so,
I am talking to Scotlandzar and he's telling me how
he played in it. He went pretty deep. I think
he got thirty sixth or something like that, thirty seventh.
He got thirty seventh for seventeen thousand, six hundred. He
said that he wants to talk to the WSP and
he wants to suggest that they do a super Senior's
high Roller. And his reasoning is that the Sea Seniors
high Roller was much tougher than last year because a
lot of guys who are pretty good poker players are turned,
like just turn fifty, yeah, so they are now eligible
to play. This coupled with the fact that I think
kind of the word has gotten out that if you
are a good player fifty plus you should play these
seniors events because they're pretty soft. So Scott thinks that
if then if you make a super Seniors high Roller,
it'll go back to being the soft like seniors high roller,
because the senior high roller is now getting harder. But
if you make that age limitation sixty for the super
seniors high roller, then it'll go back to like being soft.
It's basically what he.
Speaker 2: Say, But that would it also be five ko?
Speaker 1: Do you think he said the same thing, said five K?
Speaker 2: I could see what this one would be ten and
then the super sedes could be five.
Speaker 1: I mean I think five and five is fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I also think you could do both ten and ten.
I think it would draw. He said it would draw.
I think he said three three to four hundred. I
think four hundred four fifty is probably the right number.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of It's a lot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the WSP people love it. The super seniors
gets how many what's the drop off between the scenior's
the super senior.
Speaker 2: We're talking about a massive increase in buy it's got
eight hundred. Do you really think half the field fifty five?
Speaker 1: You want to know who has money in poker? People
that are sixty and above, those are the ones that
come money.
Speaker 2: Not all of them, if any how good their decisions
were forty.
Speaker 1: The majority of them have the money.
Speaker 2: Okay, the majority of them have or like I said,
I don't cant that much.
Speaker 1: I would say that the people who play the seniors
events have way more money than like the people who play.
Speaker 2: The fifty K high Roller. No, like an average person.
Speaker 1: Fifty k high roller are like playing for three percent
of themselves. They probably don't have a ton of money.
Speaker 2: They still might have half a million dollars, though that
could be. That's probably more than the average.
Speaker 1: You don't I think these freaking boomers have like millions
of dollars in the bank and multiple houses and shit.
Speaker 2: Like this, and then and then they throw all their
money in en Ron and fucking lost it all. Now
they're grinding their Walmart greeters. So yeah, you got to
balance the average of the network.
Speaker 1: Man, I think, don't sleep on the old guys in
the you go to Walmart, you probably don't want to
sleep on the old guys.
Speaker 2: They still work until they're deep into their sixties and
seventies because they're they're poor life decisions.
Speaker 1: The old guys got money and gals, and they are
playing for way bigger percentages of themselves.
Speaker 2: I agree, they're definitely playing for ninety plus persons.
Speaker 1: Don't sleep on the seniors, Okay, just don't sleep on
the senior So these four players will return on Sunday,
June fifteenth at noon, and they will battle for the
gold bracelet and for almost six hundred and fifty thousand
dollars up top for the winner. This episode of the
Poker Girl Podcast is brought to you by Oats over Night.
Boom Right there, baby, I've been I've honestly had it.
I've had it every single day since they what is.
Speaker 2: That banmena bread? I didn't know they had that?
Speaker 1: Fun Yeah, the other day, let me finish the reading,
I'll take uh. Oats Overnight is the official protein packed
breakfast of Poker gro Also, you don't need to have
it for breakfast, you can have it whenever you want.
Oats Overnight is built for the poker lifestyle. High protein,
drinkable oatmeal that's gluten free, made with real ingredients, and
ready whenever you are, whether it's a late night grind
or an early start. Fuel up with a healthy grab
and go breakfast. That's actually that actually tastes good. So
the other day I had I had the bottle, show
the bottle, had the bottle, So I actually had this bottle.
But I have been having the chocolate peanut butter. Yeah,
So I did one of those things where I. I
filled it up with water and I put it in
the fridge and came back a couple hours later and
I took it out and I went to drink it,
and I thought I was going to drink chocolate peanut
butter because I had been drinking, and it wasn't. It
was that one. It was which I did purposely pick
that one. I just forgot. And then it just shocked
me when I was like, wait, oh wait, why does
this taste like, you know, like a pancake? Basically I
was all confused, But yeah, do.
Speaker 2: We have a verdict of your favorite so far?
Speaker 1: I'm always going to be a chocolate peanut butter guy.
I don't. So it's not that they're I don't like
the sweet ones me personally. Yeah, Like I just don't
like I don't like a lot of sweet things. Yeah
that's just me. So it's it's not that they're they're bad.
And when I say sweet, they're not loaded a sugar
because they're not. I just don't like that sort of stuff,
you know. Like I'm like, I like, I love chocolate
peanut butter, and if if they had one of these
in chocolate peanut butter banana or peanut butter banana.
Speaker 2: You're in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sold for life, absolutely sold for life, and just
it would be ridiculous. I would also, honestly, I would
have a plain one. I would just have a plain one.
I love plain oameal. You know my friends say that
I'm a serial killer, but whatever. Speaking of killers, the
Monster Stack, we got an update whether the numbers where
are we at? You won the bet coratulations.
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't believe they didn't.
Speaker 2: You were calling it over very early, with three hours
ago registration they needed.
Speaker 1: I knew that it was over when I walked in
here today. I knew that it was over when I
walked in here today. They had three thousand, six hundred
and four entries on day one D, bringing the total
up to nine thy N twenty.
Speaker 2: Record setting.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's record set in check, but
I know it beat last year. Last year was eight
thy seven hundred and three. Of course they did add
a starting flight this year, but very good turnout there.
And yeah, are you looking up last year and pulling
up at doc of biggest fields to see if there's
any months to stuck gun there? And I mean it
should be there's nothing there, and the lowest one we
have is ten thousand, so I feel like this is
probably so it's probably probably red, which would make sense
because you know it, it has an extra starting flight.
Everyone I've been talking to about this tournament absolutely loves it.
They've been raving about it. They're like, this is some
people have been joking that, you know, this is this
is the real mini main Event. The Mini main Event
is kind of it's it's kind of a crapshoot, like
it's just it's it's everything just condensed. I think you
play half hour forty minute levels. It's very fast. This
thing is like a legit. It's a fifteen hundred dollars
version of the main event in a lot of ways.
It's just it's very long, it's extended. The only thing
that's different from the actual main Event and this tournament
is that this one, although it is freeze out per flight,
you can still have re entries because you can enter
each flight once, so you can enter four times. My
main takeaway is that with this tournament, what would I say,
nine and twenty nine and twenty entries. My takeaway is
that once again the WSP is proving that is in.
It is in a league of its own. It doesn't matter.
It still does not matter. The ws AP is so
far above everything else as far as I'm concerned. Ninety
nine is the number for a fifteen hundred dollars buying.
I want to put this into context, okay, And this
is gonna sound like it's a shot, and it's not
a shot. I just need to use it for comparison,
because this is the event that everyone raved about. Compare
it to the WPT Prime Championship, which will you huh?
I mean, let's just compared to the most recent one.
It had nine six hundred and seventy eleven hundred dollars buying,
So right, THERESP beat it. Yet WSP is more money, okay. Also,
WPT Prime Championship double the bullets allowed. You were allowed
one ranch in care flight, so you could fire eight max.
Here you can fire a Formax freeze out for flights.
They also dangled a five million dollar guaranteed prize pool
for marketing. Yes, so there's that now. Again, that's not
to say that the WPT Prime Championship isn't a tremendous event,
because it is. It's freaking awesome. But nothing compares to
the WSP. It's it's so astonishing. It's it's both astonishing
and it's not astonishing. It's not astonishing because we know
that the WSP is the biggest and the best always,
right it comes to the WSP man Avalley, it's the
best ten k you know. It's also astonishing because they
just keep doing it every single year. It does not matter.
It just absolutely does not matter, you know. So it's
just crazy. Both were massive fields again in that comparison
between those two, you know, but when you do level
the playing field for the fact that you know, one
allowed for double the reentries, the WSP just absolutely crushes
and holds the crown. They got the brand equity, they
got the preceige, They attract the players. It does not
matter the players come, they flock to the WSP, which
is is a lot of it is just history. You
can never fight with history. It's like it's like when
there's a girl you're chasing after and but she's she
might have just broken up with her boyfriend and they
were going out for let's say five or six years,
but she's like still toying with the idea of like
getting back together with him. Or staying with him, or
she can move on to the fresh new thing. My
point is that she's probably always going to go back
to that guy because they have history, and you can't
f with history. The history will always win. And there
is so much history with the WASIB for so long
that people like it's it's a propped up the brand,
it's propped up the prestige. It's what everyone knows. So
it's all tilted heavily in the wsitp favor, and it
just simply remains that there is no replica for what
the WASIP can deliver. This tournament is freaking out of control.
Almost ten thousand entries and a fifteen hundred dollars buying
tournament wild stuff. So again I just want to make
it clear. Both of those tournaments are incredible tournaments, right,
But like I just feel like in December we all
rave again, we all rave about the We all rave
about the WPT is the best thing of this is
the best thing up. Yeah, but it is still that
the WSP is the best. And that's not that two
things can't be great. It is, but there's clearly a
one and clearly a number two. That's just how it is.
So those are my thoughts there. I don't think that
they've released the price school.
Speaker 2: I didn't say anything come out, but you know, they
probably have to correct fancy accounting stuff and we'll probably
hear about it tomorrow.
Speaker 1: When the fancy stuff shouldn't it be shouldn't it be
just like super fast into the app? I have another
update on the app, by the way, or another suggested
update for the app. And this actually came from a
floor man and he said, because because I was talking
about my thing where you should just be able to
press a button and it calls the floor for you,
like you press a button when you need a floor call. Basically,
all the different tournament directors out there like their laptop
like lights up red or at beeps or whatever. It
says the table number. You know, you basically click like
like when I order an Uber, it goes to like
all these different drivers and so and then one driver
accepts the same same sort of thing for this right,
This is Uber for four calls, is what it is.
So one one tournament are is gonna press okay, except
they're gonna head to that table. It shuts off on
everyone else's iPads. Boom, We're done. Yep, another one, and
this was from Ann. This is freaking genius and I'm
so mad I didn't think about it, but this is
this is the best one that I've heard. When you
have these massive, massive, when you have these massive tournaments
that are going on, like the Monster Sack is going
to be a great example, and you're on the bubble
and they're on the microphone, they're walking around, They're like, okay,
every dealer has to stand up when you're done with
the hand. Why doesn't the dealer when they're done with
the hand just press the button on the on the app.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's brilliant.
Speaker 1: And then like on the tournament director's iPad, which has
the layout of all the tables, like you know, it
all turns like red, but like you see which ones
are green, which means they're still playing a hand. Also
along those same lines, and this is where I stepped
in because I you know, I said, Aunt, that's absolutely incredible,
best idea I've heard in terms of, you know, the
next level for the app. I said, let's add one
more thing. When when there's an all in in a
call during the bubble, the dealer should just press like
all in call, like that should be another option. So
then like for example, WS be main event, Jack's running
around with the microphone. What table? What table? What table?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Table one forty three? Okay, let's tad over to where's that?
Where is that? Oh, it's over here in the court,
you know, like you just know where it is immediately,
Like so those things should be built in. I feel
like they should be in the next app update, like
next week. I mean, how hard to how should those
be to add in? But those those I think would
be great additions. You know, you don't have to do
the whole like flour what table table forty three? Where?
Speaker 2: I actually okay, you're you know you're praising the app.
I think we've praised it. I found a little era,
another era, a little bit of a glitch. I'm looking
at the RAS ship counts and I was skipping ahead,
and I was like, why has everyone got two million?
That copy? Right?
Speaker 1: I saw it the other day.
Speaker 2: So I guess when you're in the one hundred thousands,
it says nine to seventy five. Yeah, but once you
hit the millions, it just rounds up. So if you
have a if you have a million and twenty thousand,
it says one M. If you have a million and five,
it goes to two M. Now not a big deal,
team I have. I have.
Speaker 1: I have similar issues with this with the way that
we display chip counts slash.
Speaker 2: I know, I agree with that too.
Speaker 1: Because we only use one decimal place that I'm like, no,
like sometimes it's you know, you can't.
Speaker 2: The problem I've see is come the main event when
we're in the tens and the twenties and like, but
like everyone's going to be in that, so like everyone
could have the same chipcamp. But we know that's not true.
So I'm wondering if they could maybe add a decimal
spot or two.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you I know how they could add one.
They could make the font set.
Speaker 2: Yeah, ridiculous, non stop.
Speaker 1: It is ridiculously big. Also, as it relates to the
monster sac thing, I'm bringing this idea up again, Okay,
and I've brought it up before, I'm offering it again.
The wacould be absolutely positively needs to offer these like
single day turbo bracelet events, like the single day turbo events,
but just make them bracelet events and do it during
the multi flight monsters. You know how many people I
know that bagged Day one A of the Monster Stack
and basically went to Ariya for their single day tournaments.
They Boris Angelov, who's on our fantasy team. I'm pretty
sure bagged Day one A and then went and won
a three K at the win.
Speaker 2: You didn't finished second?
Speaker 1: No, he won the three K at the win. He
won was not the Michael Wang won all six. Yeah, yeah,
that was that. But this was a three K at
the win where I think he'd beat Cherish Andrews heads up.
But it's like, if you have somebody who bags Day
one A and they have three days off, like every
day at like let's say five or six pm, there
should be a one K or a fifteen dollars turbo
for a bracelet event that ends at like three am.
You need to keep yes exactly, like why why lose
the liquidity to all these other venues? Keep everyone here.
And another thing is if you were to ever say like, oh,
we don't have the space, you and I have been
walking around here plenty at five or six pm. I mean,
they've done a really good job with like the new
layout of things. I love it, but there is a
lot of space to get all this stuff done. So
you know, I wouldn't want that leakage of these people
go into the other venues. Have them stay here. Now
on the flip side, if I'm another venue, I'm packing
single days all like all over like monster stack, Midlely
make like all that sort of stuff, right, because I'm like,
let's go. And then during the WSP main event, you
could have like, you know, because the buying is much larger,
it's a ten K, you could have like single day
like twenty five hundreds or three ks, and like, I
don't I don't think you could ever push back and
say like, oh, we don't want you know that that's lame.
If they do single day turbos for a bracelet, well,
I mean that whole idea has already jumped the shark,
so it doesn't matter anymore. Right, bracelets are bracelets. They
mean a whole crap ton of poker, So let's just
keep throwing them out there, like get all the revenue
that you can, baby, like, let's keep us all in
this place going nuts like that would be that would
be a lot of fun. Now, I wouldn't run them
like every single night. I would only run them during
these big multi flights when people are when so many
people like aj kelsol bagged I believe one A or
one B of the of the Monster stack, and he's
just like literally just walking around here today, like because
he doesn't have anything to do. He's like, well, if
I go play the Big O and I happen to bag,
then I have to play that and Day two of
the Monster at the same time.
Speaker 2: So I'm just like not doing anything there. You go
play like a one day mix somewhere else though.
Speaker 1: Yes, but that's what I'm saying. You don't want him
to go play somewhere else. You want him to fight
fire like a fifteen hundred dollars turbo at night here.
You get the rate here, Like that's you know what
I mean, Like, that's what that's what you're trying to achieve.
You don't want people going elsewhere, right you also secondary
to that, you don't want them walking around doing nothing.
You want them spending some dough.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Right, So so I think that idea still holds a
lot of weight. Now I think that should do it, Like,
I think that it would be great. It would probably
add let's say, twelve bracelets to the schedule, but whatever,
that's fine. Who cares. I think it would be great
the one K PLO. Where are they at seven?
Speaker 2: Place? They down at seven?
Speaker 1: What's going on over there?
Speaker 2: Left? This turn was flying to Yeah, night of was
silly and biggest one for us. Dylan Weismans six in chips,
kylel Los Levia, Chip Fleta, Whoman, Nig Zad, second in chips,
Josh Palma, Thad and chips. Yeah seven left see first
prize of two hundred and thirty seven thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: So I was over there kind of checking out the
field earlier today and chatting with Dylan Wiseman. We were
chatting about Phil Sternheimer and you know, I said, you know,
it's great to see Phil winn. He's been doing this forever,
like it's great to see him get a first bracelet.
And Dylan said like, yeah, that's great. And then Dyl
mentioned that he coaches Phil Sternheimer, Oh, which I'm assuming
he coaches him in Paula yea, and he obviously won
the PLO eight. I mean, that's a pretty damn good
coach to have if you're stir I'm or Dylan Wilson
right like, you know, that's that's absolutely incredible. So I
just thought that was a little tidbit there. And I
know that they did that group photo and then Dylilon
came over after because he was in another tournament, he
was late and he did his own photo with Phil.
So plan is to play this one out tomorrow or sorry,
not tomorrow today on Sunday with seven eight seven or
eight seven left seven left all right? Two in thirty
seven thousand finished today today. It was only a two
day event. No, see, I don't agree that's what this is. No,
but I it's not that I don't agree. Let me
take that back, scratch that from the record. I think
I saw on Twitter that they changed it to a
three day event. I thought that what I saw people
talking about. So yeah, I mean, I don't know for sure,
but it's a three day event, no matter what. Now,
that's just how it is. The fifteen dollars. Raz are
they done yet? I'm gonna have the vacuum, so they
must be done.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, final tables set, But I don't know if
that means they're stopping. They are still playing. Let's have
a look at the clock bringing it up right now,
there is no clock, so I guessing they have bagged.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the clocks stopped over there. I just looked
Sean deeb in the mix for another W s AP
gold bracelet. My boy leading, though, hold on shaw Deeve's
the story. Okay, come on, he's gonna go for bracelet
number seven. It's absolutely ridiculous. Allen Lee, my boy leading
two point three million? Why is he your boy? I
like Ellen Lee. That's in the reason. I mean the
top three, Allen Lee chip leader, Max Coleman second. Both
Allen Lee and Max Coleman a bracelet. They're going for
their second. Sean Deep third, he's going for bracelet number seven.
You also have Geenie David is in there. You have
Gabe Ramos is in there. Him and his two dogs
are in there.
Speaker 2: You see the dogs out there, and see them today.
Speaker 1: They were here earlier, for sure. I don't know if
he might have went and put them in his room
or whatever, but they were for sure here earlier. They're
always very well behaved. Not that I necessarily think that
dogs should be in the program, because I do not,
But these dogs specifically are just funny because you just
you don't realize that because they are so quiet, it's
like weird. And then all of a sudden, you're like, oh, oh,
there's two dogs. That's very weird. But anyway, Yeah, Jason
Lippener is in there. What's the what are we planning
for in this one? I just closed it one hundred
and twenty six thousand dollars. Some deep runs were had
by Scott Abrams thirteenth, Johannis Becker sixteen, Todd Brunson nineteenth,
Jim Collopy twentieth. Hal Rotholtz was in there, Phil Hui,
Shan Troja, Mickey Doff shout out, Mickey dopph forty seventh place.
The ras Master himself cash it three.
Speaker 2: Times in a runner. I think he told me today.
Speaker 1: Wow wow, I know he was. I know he was
kind of short ish on the bubble so able to
squeak in there. Calvin Anderson got into the money, Matt
Vangren got into the money. So a lot of big
names playing the ras or as the game of the future, right,
That's that's what they say. I think Matt Savage cash too.
Speaker 2: It did cash. Yeah, you fish a lot of chips.
At one point yesterday, Big Big stuck.
Speaker 1: And then what happened They called him up and he
he lost it. Yeah, Matt Savage finished in twenty fifth
place for four thousand dollars ten thousand dollars. Big OH
Championship Day one has just ended about ten minutes ago,
fifteen minutes ago, something like that. Three hundred and twenty
three entries. Look up last year's field for me. You
please see how that stacks up. James chen Us looks
to be the chip leader. Another player that I thought
we should put them on our list of draft because
when it comes to having some sort of Omaha tournament,
I don't care if it's a big O pl O
plo eight Omaha Eatebert, it doesn't matter. If James chen
is gonna have results at THESB. He always does.
Speaker 2: Three thirty two last year, so they're already.
Speaker 1: They're already right on it. Three to twenty three this year,
they're they're obviously going to get the whole bunch of registrations.
Are the re entries in this one? I know it's
a ten k, but these big bets, I don't know
they're gonna get for sure over three point fifty. I
just don't know. I don't know if they would get
to four one re entry, yeah exactly, so they might.
They're probably gonn hit four hundred in this thing. I mean,
some of these numbers this year are just freaking bananas.
So James Chen looks like he's in there, Matt he
Wantman looks like he's in there. Tyler Phillips, Sam Severll,
Aaron Cooper, Nick Schulman. Nick Shulman's an interesting one cause,
I mean, this is something that I want to hit
on the schedule. Isn't he going to play the two
fifty k? Yes, he's for sure played in the past,
but he.
Speaker 2: Can essentially make day three of the Bigger and still
play this for fifty k.
Speaker 1: Yes, I just I just assume that the two fifty
k is like you would want to get started started early, right.
Speaker 2: Sure, Well, there's I think one person registered right now side.
Speaker 1: Who is it, Matthew Belcher?
Speaker 2: No, who Devin Vetos. So yeah, he technically has three
days a Big OH tournament play before he needs to
get in that one.
Speaker 1: Well I don't, I don't. I don't know why you
would schedule like this, like why you would have this
ten k, cause there are so here's the thing, Like
this is gonna sound very weird, but I do think
this is partly how you should construct your schedule at
the like maybe it's like a five percent of like
the big picture thoughts, But I would want to construct
a schedule for the ws AP where Daniel Legrandu is
here playing every single day. Isn't he already He's off
today because he's not going to get in the big
O and then go play the two KP Right, I
mean he's off today, right, I don't.
Speaker 2: I guess we'll say Amy's vog in the morning. But yeah,
that does make sense what I'm getting out. No, No, he
was here today.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but he didn't. But I'm saying, like you
want him here, like you want him just constantly shopping
in the events right now. I'm using him as an example,
but like you also want like a Phil Helmets, et cetera,
Like you want all these big guys right now. The
reason why I bring that up is because or like
another one is a Jeremy Osmas. I'm pretty sure he
took off today. I mean I don't think he played
this tournament. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Jesse Lonis definitely was off today because he tweeted about it.
Speaker 1: Because these guys are all gonna play the two fifty k,
so they're basically taking a day off, which I don't
You shouldn't want that, Like, you should want these guys
here every single day. So if you just moved the
two fifty k instead of starting on Sunday, it started today,
those guys Nigronnie Osmos, even even a Shulman, right, Like,
they're never gonna play the monster stack over the two
fifty k, never in a million years. Now a couple
of them might hop into the Big O, right, or
the other option for them is they're going to take
the day off. Yeah, So I just don't like that.
I would I would rather just have them all crammed
into that two fifty k and go that route because
you can also have the you can have the big
like you could have basically swapped the days because then
if they bust the two fifty k, which is an
ultra premium event, they can all hop into that Big
O because it has is that you know, day and
a half of registration, right.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you know, I'm looking at it, the
schedule we have here. If you bump, I'm looking very
forward till Friday, the fifty k high Roller one day,
the Horse Championship one day, the twenty five k one day.
You can essentially start the two fifty k on Monday,
right as we're kind of discussed, and then it doesn't
affect any of the high rollers behind it, because you know,
you move something, it was gonna you know, there's going
to be a ripple effect. But you know, there is
a day off on Monday, June twenty third from all
the high rollers, and then the fifty k starts. So
there's a world there is some room there where we
could satisfy what you're saying. You push the two fifty
k one day, you push the twenty five k plow
one day, the Horse Championship one day, the fifty k
plow one day, and it does all line up pretty nicely,
like he suggested. And like, look, the two fifty k
is going to overl up the RAS Championship. Okay, we're
going to lose like four four to ten players at
max from the RATS Championship, But I don't think probably
not even you could actually then move the RATS Championship
forward one day, you know, to offset that too. So
there's lots of those little like day here day there
tweaks they could have done to change a lot of
different things. And yeah, it's it's yeah, a couple more
entrants here and there. I think Matt is in the
long run.
Speaker 1: So yeah, the two fifty k starts on Sunday. It's
going to be bananas. How many did we say out
last year we mentioned it?
Speaker 2: I guess yesterday seventy seven. So look.
Speaker 1: Five, I'm going to say over eighty. There's re entry.
There's one re entry at least.
Speaker 2: Right, I'll take unders and you'll take under the coffee,
all right for.
Speaker 1: The coffee run it back. Okay, Clearly I'm the one
that's bullish on all the numbers here, and clearly you're
the one that want very good large.
Speaker 2: But I was feeling like that seventy seven numbers, so
that's why I'm going to stay with seventy seven. Take beyonder,
So okay, seventies and it's still up from last year.
I'm still bullish, just not as bullish as you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever. Whatever. In addition to the two hundred and
fifty k Super high Roar that starts on Sunday, we
have the five hundred dollars Salute to Warriors. Always an
enormous field for that one. And then I forget how
much of the money but some of the money goes
to charity, which is great. You know, it's a good,
good initiative to have one of those tournaments at the
Doverspeed for sure. And then also the tournament that I
want to strike from the schedule, the twenty five hundred
dollars oe we gotta keep a high low slash the HILO.
Speaker 2: I believe it's forty dollars of each entry for Sluti wires.
We donated to the United Service Organizations and other veteran organizations.
What's actually surprising to me? Already six hundred people registered
for that event.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not really surprising.
Speaker 2: I guess I see a lot of veterans that kind
of stuff, that played pokers probably definitely want to support
the USI there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's I mean, I think that tournament's great,
you know, for for what it is small. Brian, you
have that charity album, which I think is good. It's
great PR two for the Divasophy. So I do want
to do some shout outs here because I meant to
do shout outs yesterday and I didn't you know, I know,
we did the whole email thing yesterday, the community cards segment.
But I want to do some special shout outs to
people from the last two days that at least I
gave hats to. So on Friday I met Mike and Brian.
And if it's not Brian, I'm sorry because I'm my
mind says Brian. And I think it's Brian, and he'll
know because there's a special thing that he did. He
said he pledged two percent of his daily deepstack play
or something to our coffee fund. Now I haven't heard
from him since, which means he probably got eliminated. But
and if his name is not Brian, I'm deeply sorry.
I'm very bad at names all the time, terrible. I
try and do these things where like I repeat the
names over and all my head over and over again,
but I still suck at it. So just forgive me.
Got Chris as well, and then Dave from Montana. He said,
give Montana a shout out. That's what he said. My
uncle lives in Montana. Lives in Missoula always to retire
like a big like I don't know if it's like
a ranch or whatever, but yeah, he's got a barn
on it.
Speaker 2: I want to sit on the porch and like have
my shotgun there in case of looking black becomes shotgun.
I don't know what. I don't know what. Ride some
horse with my cowboy hat?
Speaker 1: That so weird.
Speaker 2: Dream.
Speaker 1: I mean, you good if you want. And then today
David Toe who I talked to regularly, but saw him today,
so shout out to David. And then another David. Well,
this one's Dave, Dave g who caught us in. He
caught us on dinner break and then we gave him
my hat as well. Back over there and give them
a hat. So y hats are going fast.
Speaker 2: We're halfway through them all. I mean, it's unel under
fifty to go. It's only what is it, June fourteenth? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Fine, when did you get the hats?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: How long has it been? Ten days? It has been
six days.
Speaker 2: I think we got it last Thursday's been about ten days. Yeah,
ten days. I've had them fifty out the door. There's
only fifty left. And no, I am not reupping the order.
Speaker 1: I still think you should. I don't know why.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's the pharmer. You should see these here.
Speaker 1: You you don't have to do this, but I'm gonna
tell you what I would do. I would say, listen
if I get rid of all the hats by June
twenty fifth, then I'll reup them. Mean meaning you make
the people flock to steal the inventory, and then you
know that there is the demand there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the problem is it won't They won't get
done until well past the World Series. Well that's not
my fault. You're sticking with the need to figure next
year you can take the hat job back. You can
order four hundred if.
Speaker 1: I am done with the hats. I told you you
are in charge of the hats. I think these are
the best hats that we've had, for sure. I really
like them. I like my full till hat better.
Speaker 2: But they're going to be full toll of pograts. I mean,
I think maybe we could do the pogood Would we
get suited for that if we did the Progo podcast
logo as the reds as the Red Triangle.
Speaker 1: Let's just not how about that. Let's just if you
have to ask the question, let's just avoid it. Okay,
let's just pretend that we don't have my conversation, all right,
I have nothing else unless you do.
Speaker 2: I just want to wish you know you guys are
listening to this or watching this on Sunday, which is
Father's They already mentioned the top of the show. I
just want to wish all you father's out there, dad's
out there, a happy Father's Day. I don't know what
you have planned. I'm getting some donuts.
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, what do you mean? What the hell
do you think I have planned. I'm gonna be here in.
Speaker 2: The morning the morning, I'm getting donuts and coffee. I'm
try and get a work out of it. And I'm
gonna come in a little light because I don't have
any of that because we don't have a stream. So
that's my plans. But you at home, wish you guys
happy Father's Day. Call your dad. I check calling my
dad two times today and yesterday he just showered me.
But he you know what, he's a funny thing. Yesterday
called my wife and spoke to her, and the kids
doesn't answer the phone.
Speaker 1: Call for me.
Speaker 2: Maybe I've said him.
Speaker 1: He called? He called?
Speaker 2: Yeah, What did I do? I mean, I tried. I tried.
Speaker 1: You know, clearly he just doesn't like you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess, I guess not.
Speaker 1: No, Yeah, shout out to all the dads out there. Ye,
I can't I don't know why I have that brink
anything in my head. I mean, it's just whatever, all right,
he's some duckworth. My name is Donny Peters, and we'll
talk to you guys next time.
