Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome to a new episode of the Poker
Speaker 1: Go Podcast. My name is Donny Peters. I am flying
Speaker 1: solo today. My guy Tim Duckworth is probably catching up
Speaker 1: on some sleep. They had a late go of it
Speaker 1: last night. Finished Day one of the PGT Million Dollar
Speaker 1: Championship around two am, give or take here in Las Vegas,
Speaker 1: so late one for him and the team. But I
Speaker 1: am here to give you a lay of the land
Speaker 1: as we head into day two. We head into the
Speaker 1: final table of this season ending event. Dylan Wiseman is
Speaker 1: the chip leader. There are six players remaining. I'll go
Speaker 1: over who the final six are, what they're guaranteed, you know,
Speaker 1: how they kind of got here, and then a little
Speaker 1: bit of a recap on how the day went, and
Speaker 1: we'll get you out of here. I'm pretty short and
Speaker 1: sweet here, of course, don't need to keep you too long,
Speaker 1: and then hopefully everyone listening tunes in to watch the
Speaker 1: live stream broadcast that will be starting this after noon.

Speaker 1: Million Dollar Championship, wrapping up the twenty twenty four PGT season.
Speaker 1: Dylan Wiseman the chip leader with three million, one hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty thousand in chips. Believe the blinds are going
Speaker 1: to be twenty thousand, forty thousand, so Wiseman has just
Speaker 1: under eighty big blinds there to work with. At the
Speaker 1: start of play on Saturday, I think he was the
Speaker 1: chip leader with on the bubble, i should say, or
Speaker 1: nearing the bubble, and then he ended up scoring one
Speaker 1: of the eliminations, which I'm gonna get to this in
Speaker 1: a second, scoring one of the eliminations to boost his
Speaker 1: stack a little bit Morellan Wiseman is trailed by Chris
Speaker 1: Unichan he's the closest on the leader board with one
Speaker 1: point nine to five million. Then you have Jim Callipy
Speaker 1: one point one seven million, Calvin Anderson nine hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty five thousand, Nick Schulman eight hundred and ninety five thousand,
Speaker 1: and PGT Player of the Gear Jeremy Osmas did make
Speaker 1: it into the final six eight hundred and eighty k four.
Speaker 1: Osmas Wiseman finished the PGT regular season eleventh in points
Speaker 1: sixteen hundred and thirty two points. He had four wins,
Speaker 1: eighteen cashes, and six or sorry, one point six two
Speaker 1: four million dollars in PGT winnings. So you know, all
Speaker 1: these all these six players did qualify for this event
Speaker 1: via the top forty, and then you had Chris unickn
Speaker 1: uh he finished thirty first, but if you take out
Speaker 1: the people who didn't qualify via the three cash requirement,
Speaker 1: he got bumped up to twenty sixth in points, eleven
Speaker 1: hundred points for unikin one win, five cashes, five million,
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty five thousand dollars in winnings. Jim
Speaker 1: Collipy After that harsh, harsh, harsh bubble of the top
Speaker 1: forty last season he got in. This season, he got
Speaker 1: in very nicely, seventh seventh in points seventeen hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty seven points. He didn't have any wins, you know,
Speaker 1: as Tim mentioned on the last episode of the podcast,
Speaker 1: but he did have twenty cashes for more than two
Speaker 1: point two million dollars, and Kalopy's first win could be
Speaker 1: here in the PGT Million Dollars Championship. Calvin Anderson thirty
Speaker 1: fourth in points, but again, if you remove the ones
Speaker 1: who didn't get the cashes in order to be eligible,
Speaker 1: he gets bumped up to twenty eighth, one thousand and
Speaker 1: eighty five points, one win, four cashes, one million, eighty
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars in earnings. Nick Schulman eighth in points
Speaker 1: on the season, sixteen hundred and thirty two points. Of course,
Speaker 1: that point total was bumped up by a victory in
Speaker 1: the first PGT Last Chance Events that we just wrapped up.
Speaker 1: Two wins for him nineteen cashes, two million, six hundred
Speaker 1: and six thousand dollars in winnings, and then Jeremy Osmas,
Speaker 1: the current PGT Player of the Year, rounds out the
Speaker 1: top six, first in points for him two million, or sorry,
Speaker 1: two million. Yeah, that would be a lot of points.
Speaker 1: Nine hundred and sixty six points, one win, twenty six cashes,
Speaker 1: five million, nine hundred and ninety one thousand dollars in
Speaker 1: money one. Ozmas had a banner year on the PGG
Speaker 1: absolutely crushed it finished. I think it's more than nine
Speaker 1: hundred points ahead of everyone else. Closest to him on
Speaker 1: the leaderboard at the end of the season was none
Speaker 1: other than Daniel Nigranu with I think twenty fifty four
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly. So great season for Ozma's overall,
Speaker 1: and we'll see if he can catch it off with
Speaker 1: a PGT million dollar championship victory. Everyone remaining is guaranteed
Speaker 1: forty thousand dollars up top five hundred thousand dollars. As
Speaker 1: I mentioned, play wrapped up at a round two am
Speaker 1: in the morning, and it was an exciting finish, a
Speaker 1: double Foxen Bubble if you can believe it. I almost
Speaker 1: didn't believe it when I woke up this morning and
Speaker 1: I was reading through the updates, so I pulled up
Speaker 1: the stream and I watched the end of the stream
Speaker 1: and yeah, it actually happened. So with eight players left,
Speaker 1: the field was playing on the two future tables four
Speaker 1: and four. Kristin Foxen was on the outer table. Alex
Speaker 1: Foxen was on the main table. Kristen gets involved in
Speaker 1: a big pot against Nick Schilman raised a couple of ases.
Speaker 1: He had the acid diamonds. She called from the big
Speaker 1: blind with Queen jack off. She had the jack of diamonds.
Speaker 1: It came King Queen eight all diamonds. I think there
Speaker 1: was a bet and a call from Schulman on the flop.
Speaker 1: Four club's turn went check check six of hearts on
Speaker 1: the river fox And leads for forty thousand, which was
Speaker 1: one big blind, and Nick decided to kick it up
Speaker 1: to three hundred and twenty thousand, leaving just a five
Speaker 1: thousand chip behind. After a little bit of a tank,
Speaker 1: Foxen flicked in the call. She was shown the bad
Speaker 1: news because Schulman had the goods. He had those aces.
Speaker 1: Her hand was into the muck and she was left
Speaker 1: with fewer than three big blinds. Then they start playing
Speaker 1: the next hand, same table. Chris Unican raises with the
Speaker 1: ace nine off. Kristin Foxen goes all in from the
Speaker 1: small blind with those It was just I think she
Speaker 1: had one hundred and fifteen K big one forty K.
Speaker 1: She goes all from the small blind with Queen four Hearts.
Speaker 1: Hewniken calls and and as this happens, they slide on
Speaker 1: over to the other table because Alex Foxen is all in. Okay,
Speaker 1: he's all in against Dylan Wiseman. Didn't see the full
Speaker 1: action pre flop, but looking at the screen it said
Speaker 1: Wiseman four bet all in. Alex Foxen mentioned that he
Speaker 1: four bet all in, so this was probably raised from
Speaker 1: the button from Dylan Wisan with the Ace five off
Speaker 1: fox and three bet not all in Ace King of Hearts.
Speaker 1: Wiseman went with it all in and Foxen called it off.
Speaker 1: There was a five on the turn that ultimately knocked
Speaker 1: out Alex Foxen in eighth place. It was made known
Speaker 1: that that hand would run first and they would go
Speaker 1: back and they would run the Kristen fox In hand.
Speaker 1: So then they swing back over they run the Kristen
Speaker 1: fox Foxen hanch she's all in again with the Queen
Speaker 1: four Hearts against Unukin's Ace nine Ace ten deuce rainbow
Speaker 1: with one heart seven of spades leaves her drawing dead
Speaker 1: on the turn, and both Alex and Christen are out
Speaker 1: the door before the three Hearts can complete the board
Speaker 1: on the river. As things pertain to Alex Foxen, I mean,
Speaker 1: this was kind of his season. You know, he did,
Speaker 1: he did qualify via the top forty of the leaderboard,
Speaker 1: but it just didn't seem like you had the dominating
Speaker 1: performances that were used to seeing from Alex Foxen, which
Speaker 1: which is fine. I mean, there's plenty of variants in poker,
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to live poker, and you just
Speaker 1: can't hit the the volume that you need to be
Speaker 1: able to, you know, realize things. But yeah, i mean
Speaker 1: fox in here just kind of a brutal end to
Speaker 1: a rather brutal season by his standards, you know, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he did well, you know again, he finished in the
Speaker 1: top forty. You know, he had a bunch of deep runs,
Speaker 1: but ultimately, you know, nothing that were really used to
Speaker 1: seeing overall. You know, he had thirteen cashes on the
Speaker 1: PGT this season, did not eclipse one million dollars in
Speaker 1: PGT winnings nine hundred and sixty eight thousand, and didn't
Speaker 1: have any wins. You know, we're used to seeing fox
Speaker 1: And get at least one win, if not two or three,
Speaker 1: or maybe more wins, you know, get up over fifteen cashes,
Speaker 1: probably pushed towards what's seventeen eighteen, and then certainly passed
Speaker 1: the million mark, especially when you factor in all the
Speaker 1: big WSP events that count. Just how much of a
Speaker 1: beast Alex Foxon is when it comes to those events.
Speaker 1: You know, Kristen Foxen had a great season as well.
Speaker 1: She won an event, twelve cashes, more than one point
Speaker 1: four million dollars in PGT winnings, finished twelfth on the
Speaker 1: leader board, was looking good early in this event, I
Speaker 1: know her and Alex played quite a bit on the
Speaker 1: same table, actually got it all in against one another
Speaker 1: at one point. I think it was her Queen's against
Speaker 1: Alex's ace king, and she won and doubled up there
Speaker 1: forgiving if I have those hands backward, but she definitely
Speaker 1: won the hand and doubled up through her husband Alex. So,
Speaker 1: you know, great, great year for Kristen Foxen, and you know,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm guessing we're gonna see plenty of them. Of
Speaker 1: course on the twenty twenty five PGT campaign, So first
Speaker 1: player out was George Castanas in what was it forty
Speaker 1: fourth place because ultimately forty four of the fifty eligible
Speaker 1: players showed up for this one. So you know, originally,
Speaker 1: if if all fifty showed up, fifty players million dollar
Speaker 1: free roll, that puts the value at twenty thousand. So
Speaker 1: with only forty four shown, value gets bumped up a
Speaker 1: little bit twenty two thousand, seven hundred and change. So
Speaker 1: you know, good good for the players, good value there.
Speaker 1: You had Brian Rass busting in thirty second, you had
Speaker 1: Daniel Legrano busting in twenty six too, who came to play.
Speaker 1: I mean he he played some interesting hands that you
Speaker 1: might not have expected from the granny. Not that they
Speaker 1: were they were bad or anything, you know, he just
Speaker 1: I think you're used to seeing him take more of
Speaker 1: a small ball approach at times, and he he seemed
Speaker 1: to swing with some timely three bets. He also had
Speaker 1: some some raises in there that didn't necessarily work out.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if that's Daniel's been in the
Speaker 1: lab for a couple of weeks, hasn't you know, he
Speaker 1: didn't play the PGT Last Chance series, so has he
Speaker 1: been kind of working on some things and he came
Speaker 1: out here and he tested him out, and you know,
Speaker 1: ultimately did they didn't work, you know, in this spot.
Speaker 1: But maybe a sign of things to come for him
Speaker 1: for the twenty twenty five PGT season. But we'll see
Speaker 1: as it pertains to that sort of stuff. But yeah,
Speaker 1: he went out twenty six. He had Isaac Hackson busting
Speaker 1: in eighteenth place. Joe Sico. So I mentioned Joe Sicico.
Speaker 1: You guys might not know that name. I mean, absolutely
Speaker 1: incredible name for a poker player. Could you just imagine
Speaker 1: Sicko wins PGT million dollars Championship. I mean, come on,
Speaker 1: this is great. So Joe Siico he was a annual
Speaker 1: subscriber Dream Seat winner. So for all of you out
Speaker 1: there who are annual subscribers to poker Go, all of
Speaker 1: you out there who are monthier quarterly subscribers who are
Speaker 1: ever thinking about upgrading, I mean, this is the type
Speaker 1: of stuff that you can possibly win through the promotions
Speaker 1: that we do at poker Go. Joe Siico was one
Speaker 1: of the Dream Seat winners via the annual poker Go
Speaker 1: subscriber giveaway promotions. Last sweepstakes that we did. I know
Speaker 1: he ultimately didn't cash in this event, but he did
Speaker 1: have the deepest run for a dream Seat winner. He
Speaker 1: finished in seventeenth place. He was out there battling with
Speaker 1: some of the absolute best in the world, going toe
Speaker 1: to toe with them. Fared pretty well again seventeenth from
Speaker 1: the field of forty four. So shout out to Joe
Speaker 1: Siico and yeah, for all of you annual subscribers out there,
Speaker 1: be on the lookout for other promotions for the upcoming season.
Speaker 1: We generally do a lot of stuff and you guys
Speaker 1: can win. Okay, you can't. So they got down to
Speaker 1: fourteen players after the elimination of Jesse Lonis in fifteenth place.
Speaker 1: They combined or read drew whatever they did to two
Speaker 1: tables of seven. Then it was Ben Toleraing busting fourteenth,
Speaker 1: Scott sever in thirteenth, Stephen Chidwick in twelfth, David Coleman
Speaker 1: in eleventh, Sean Winter in tenth, and Boris Angeloff in
Speaker 1: ninth place, and that brought us down to the final eight.
Speaker 1: Then I went over what happened with the two Foxen's,
Speaker 1: the Double Fox and Bubble, which I mean, I still
Speaker 1: kind of have a hard time believing that that actually happened,
Speaker 1: But I mean, what are you gonna do? Just absolutely
Speaker 1: wild stuff that that went out. On the same hand,
Speaker 1: you know they're playing hand for hand, player around for
Speaker 1: ront or whatever they were doing at that time. You know,
Speaker 1: both of them get all in. Obviously, Christy loses that
Speaker 1: big hands to Nick Shulman right before that. So just
Speaker 1: crazy stuff, crazy crazy stuff. Just quickly. On the fantasy
Speaker 1: teams that that Tim and I drafted, it looks like
Speaker 1: Tim has Nick Schulman remaining. He had Seth Davies, Ren Lynn.
Speaker 1: I think he had Alex Foxen. He had one of
Speaker 1: the Foxes, but they're both out. He had Derek Ymatta
Speaker 1: and Zach Gresh so they're all gone, so he's only
Speaker 1: got Nick Shulman left. I had Daniel mcgartny, Brandon Wilson,
Speaker 1: Channon Shore, Steven Chidwick, and Alan Keating they are out.
Speaker 1: I also had Jeremy Osnes and he is in. So
Speaker 1: Tim and I both draft did one player that is in,
Speaker 1: and we'll see how that goes today. On Saturday, which
Speaker 1: is when the final six will be returning to the
Speaker 1: Poker gro studio down on the Las Vegas Strip, down
Speaker 1: on the Aria Resort and Casino property, cards will be
Speaker 1: back in the air at one pm local time here
Speaker 1: in Vegas. The stream will start on Poker Go at
Speaker 1: two pm Vegas time, that's five pm on the East coast.
Speaker 1: It was originally planned, I think that Nick Shulman was
Speaker 1: supposed to join Ali Najade in the booth. Day one
Speaker 1: was Ali Dajad and Jesse Sylvia. So I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if Jesse is gonna be back, but they're gonna need
Speaker 1: to find someone to go alongside Alin Najade because Nick
Speaker 1: Shulman is in the final six. He is at this
Speaker 1: final table. He will be in the mix battling for
Speaker 1: that five hundred thousand dollars first place prize. Again, all
Speaker 1: the players remaining are guaranteed forty k. Let me just
Speaker 1: quickly run over these payouts here, So it's forty k
Speaker 1: for sixth place, sixty k for fifth place, eighty k
Speaker 1: for fourth place, one hundred and twenty thousand for third,
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand per second, and then a big jump
Speaker 1: up to five hundred thousand dollars for first place. You know,
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars first place. Probably definitely wanted to
Speaker 1: have that at half a million. So that big jump is,
Speaker 1: you know, not not the norm for PGT events, but
Speaker 1: we do do something a little bit special here in
Speaker 1: the PGT Million Dollar Championship. All right, that's all I
Speaker 1: have for you guys today. Hopefully this was pretty short
Speaker 1: and sweet, just to go over everything that happened for
Speaker 1: the PGT Million Dollar Championship. As always, you guys can
