Speaker 1: This might be outside by side with me. If anyone
Speaker 1: should be sick of anyone, I should be sick of you.
Speaker 3: Why would you be sick of me?
Speaker 1: All I do is because today today, as I foreshadowed yesterday,
Speaker 1: we should be prepared to put the Danie on the
Speaker 1: ground New Final Table on a live stream, which we
Speaker 1: ultimately did.
Speaker 3: And who got that there?
Speaker 1: Yes you did. Yeah, okay, you did it. Okay, but listen.
Speaker 1: But I was like, I was like an NBA player
Speaker 1: finding out I just got traded via Twitter. Because I
Speaker 1: looked on social media at whatever time. It was five
Speaker 1: thirty eight pm. I see a tweet from Kevin Mathers
Speaker 1: shout out keV math saying that we're streaming and I'm
Speaker 1: doing commentary with you. No one had told me, and
Speaker 1: the commentary, by the way, was starting in seven minutes.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, oh yeah, Like you don't think that
Speaker 1: maybe I would want to get an email out, some
Speaker 1: social media all that sort.
Speaker 3: Of stuff together.
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Getting the cameras on, No, you got getting plan.
Speaker 1: You got a plan to tell the people and everything.
Speaker 3: It would have already been templated out.
Speaker 1: This is ridiculous. No, no, don't ever say no, because
Speaker 1: you have to prepare for this sort of stuff. You're
Speaker 1: lucky I was able to pull together. But it's absolutely ridiculous,
Speaker 1: absolutely ridiculous. Come on, But I'm happy we did it. Anyway,
Speaker 1: same even the minimum. This guy needs to get his
Speaker 1: energy out. There's absolutely go drink a freaking coke zero
Speaker 1: or whatever the heck that is that you drink all
Speaker 1: the time, and let's rock and roll. On this episode,
Speaker 1: we are going to preview the w s OP main event.

Speaker 1: i should say, because you guys are going to be
Speaker 1: listening to it, listening to this on Wednesday, July second,
Speaker 1: but we're talking about Tuesday, July first. We've got Michael
Speaker 1: Wang winning the ten KPLO. We got Aaron Coopan winning
Speaker 1: his first WSFP gold bracelet. There's an eight hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty k first place prize over in the mini main event.
Speaker 1: The ten k stud High Low is about one hundred
Speaker 1: hundred fifty feet from us in the money they are
Speaker 1: playing down. Mister Phil Helmeyth is still in that one
Speaker 1: one hunter k plo kicked off today. The six hundred
Speaker 1: dollars Poker News Deep Stack kicked off today. So let's go, baby,
Speaker 1: let's it's time. We got we got two weeks left
Speaker 1: and it's the best two weeks of the year. Okay,
Speaker 1: best two weeks of the year, bar none.

Speaker 2: the year. Oh dude, come.
Speaker 1: On in poker, in in the poker year. Name of
Speaker 1: better two weeks? Please go ahead, come up with some

Speaker 1: better two weeks in the poker year.
Speaker 3: I got you. The week of PGT lost that. Stop.
Speaker 1: Come on, no, stop, stop stop, you lose all credibility.
Speaker 3: First week is better than I think.
Speaker 2: The first week of the World Series is pretty good,
Speaker 2: like because you've just been waiting.
Speaker 1: About ten months, Like, yes, I agree, I agree, it's
Speaker 1: pretty good. It's not the main event. Okay, it is
Speaker 1: not the main event like.
Speaker 3: I think this week in the first week.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I feel like you if if we all had
Speaker 1: like little meters right next to our head, okay, and
Speaker 1: it was a credibility.
Speaker 3: Was animated by producer Rich.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fine, it's a credibility meter. Yours is just
Speaker 1: constantly going down with all this nonsense that you say,
Speaker 1: like yesterday when you said, oh, well we need James
Speaker 1: Obs to join Dana and no we don't.
Speaker 3: We go.
Speaker 2: And five I'm pretty sure, I said Jeff Madison and
Speaker 2: Macao Johnson yesterday. Okay, two of those.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. You could have put Dan on a
Speaker 1: on you at a table with five dogs playing poker

Speaker 1: One player who changed his name or signed up and
Speaker 1: made the name OMG Tim Duckworth. Yea so like OMG

Speaker 3: He got seid and out of five hundred and forty

Speaker 2: First sean day and now this guy will like, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna have to trade my name, this guy like this
Speaker 2: is just unbelievable. Are they just leveraging my name success?
Speaker 2: I don't get a cut. Where's mine?
Speaker 3: Do I get a cut of these hundred thousand?
Speaker 1: That's how That's how you know you've made it Somewhere
Speaker 1: in life? You got people impersonating you. Okay, now about you.
Speaker 2: Don't forget the stuff your Jesss and Andrea that impersonated us.
Speaker 3: There's three people that's impersonated me this world series.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 3: And I've got nothing to show.
Speaker 1: Well, we have some we have some red flags to raise
Speaker 1: about Andrea. Okay, did she not join you at the
Speaker 1: meetup game or the mixed game yesterday? And she was
Speaker 1: just sitting there?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like anyone that sits there and watches poker.
Speaker 1: I just massive red flag, just red red flag all day.
Speaker 1: Can we put a red flag animation?
Speaker 3: What do you wait for? Red flag?
Speaker 2: Just bringing me food? Because she went to eat, she
Speaker 2: had left as I said, I'll take him. And then
Speaker 2: I was trying to convince it a play. I thought,
Speaker 2: you know, get some soft money in here, and then
Speaker 2: she just stayed. A friend of hers, Kirk Brown, sat
Speaker 2: down there. So I'm just chatting learning. They were learning
Speaker 2: about the games.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just messing around.
Speaker 3: Of course.
Speaker 2: Either way, I still want to their success on leveraging
Speaker 2: off my name unaccepted.
Speaker 1: Well, this is why, speaking of Andrea, you need to
Speaker 1: trademark your name.
Speaker 3: I think I need to spend the If you.
Speaker 1: Trademark your name, then then some of this stuff gets
Speaker 1: alldiated and you can take legal action, right, so Sean
Speaker 1: Deep exactly exactly, man, see this is why, Yeah, this
Speaker 1: is this is why.
Speaker 3: All right, I'll go to do.
Speaker 1: Its main event preview. Let's go baby. Last year record
Speaker 1: setting field of ten thousand, one hundred and twelve entries
Speaker 1: that topped the record from a year prior when they
Speaker 1: had ten thousand and forty three entries. So just absolutely
Speaker 1: incredible stuff. In twenty twenty three, it was Daniel Weinman
Speaker 1: winning it all. Last year it was Jonathan Tomayo winning
Speaker 1: it all. So the field has been massive, shout out
Speaker 1: masks more than ten thousand entries. I'm starting to think
Speaker 1: ten thousand entries is the floor for sure for this year,
Speaker 1: if not going forward for the future. I just feel
Speaker 1: like we've gotten over the hump. I like the fact
Speaker 1: that we've now gone back to back years not only
Speaker 1: over ten K, but an increase year over year. And
Speaker 1: I think all signs this year are pointing to another
Speaker 1: incredible turnout for Poker's biggest, richest, most storied tournament. And
Speaker 1: there are some early indicators that I want to hit on,
Speaker 1: or at least the things that I think are indicators,
Speaker 1: and you can tell me if you agree or not.
Speaker 1: And then of course you at home, you can you know,
Speaker 1: yell into your phone, or you can drop it in
Speaker 1: the comments or whatever. Number one total WSP entries, according
Speaker 1: to poker fuse dot com and mainly Unwshar, who has
Speaker 1: been tracking this all summer long, are up seven percent
Speaker 1: or right around seven percent, which is very good. And
Speaker 1: I think I mentioned this on the last episode, but
Speaker 1: I was talking to Lance Bradley, you know, we kind
Speaker 1: of both agreed on the WSP plus app is a
Speaker 1: great benefit to players, yea. It really helps things in
Speaker 1: terms of efficiency. It allows for a few more payment options,
Speaker 1: which you know, we both agreed that having credit cards,
Speaker 1: having paypalace options that is just super easy and probably
Speaker 1: allows some people to get in you know a little
Speaker 1: bit better. And also I think overall it's been a
Speaker 1: better experience with the app. Better experience equals greater loyalty.
Speaker 1: Greater loyalty can equal more players, you know. So like
Speaker 1: I think, if you you know, it's not a small
Speaker 1: it's not a big number, right, Sorry, it's not a
Speaker 1: big number, but it's still a small number, and everything
Speaker 1: adds up. Like you get a couple of players, maybe
Speaker 1: they're just kind of turned off the experience, they leave,
Speaker 1: they go home, whatever. But if you don't have that,
Speaker 1: if you have raised your level of experience, then you know,
Speaker 1: everyone's just kind of like, Yeah, I'm gonna stick around,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fire more, I'm gonna do all that sort
Speaker 1: of stuff. Also on Poke Refuse, I'm just gonna read
Speaker 1: what they wrote as it pertains to the satellites again.
Speaker 1: This is from poke Refuse dot com. A news Aurora
Speaker 1: had this in an article. Ggpoker, the exclusive satellite partner
Speaker 1: for Wissippi, once again ran its Road to Vegas satellite campaign,
Speaker 1: which is now in its fifth year. They awarded exactly
Speaker 1: nine hundred main event packages. They were eight hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty eight via ggpoker dot Com and then thirty two
Speaker 1: through GG poker Ontario. In addition, Club Gigi, which is
Speaker 1: GG Poker's subscription and sweepstakes platform, qualified one hundred and
Speaker 1: one players and there were one hundred and fifty eight
Speaker 1: direct buy ins through the ggpoker dot Com client. That
Speaker 1: brings the potential total to eleven hundred and fifty nine
Speaker 1: entries via ggpoker pannels. And then they write roughly on
Speaker 1: par with last year's figure of eleven hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: four I would, I'll say, up from last year's number
Speaker 1: of eleven hundred and twenty four, right, not of a ton,
Speaker 1: but still up a little bit there. That's very good.
Speaker 1: Something that was pointed out by our friend Matt Clark.
Speaker 1: The Win Summer Classic ten k event is up almost
Speaker 1: one hundred entries year over year, up ninety seven entries,
Speaker 1: which is six point seven percent year over year. So
Speaker 1: it is interesting also to see that that six point
Speaker 1: seven percent is close to the seven percent that the
Speaker 1: entries are up at the WSP total, right, So those
Speaker 1: numbers seem to be kind of kind of tracking. So
Speaker 1: let's just say we get a seven percent increase on
Speaker 1: the WITP main event field size that's going to be
Speaker 1: around seven hundred players, so you'll get us up to
Speaker 1: ten thy eight hundred, ten eight hundred and fifty something
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I kind of half joke the other day that eleven
Speaker 1: thousand is in play, and I might say it on
Speaker 1: this podcas, and I'm starting to lean that I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna say it because I very much think eleven thousand
Speaker 1: is in play, which is absolutely freaking ridiculous. Do you agree?
Speaker 1: Do you like?
Speaker 3: Do you do you agree with some of those points? Okay,
Speaker 3: I think the win.
Speaker 2: I think the win Summer Classic is a good indication
Speaker 2: of potential uptick for the main event. Obviously, the satellite
Speaker 2: program we always discuss it and harp on the fact
Speaker 2: that the more you promote the satellite players and the
Speaker 2: satellite numbers, the more it encourages people you know that
Speaker 2: weren't were on the fans to come and play, and
Speaker 2: they're the ones you really need to get over the numbers,
Speaker 2: Like you don't need to convince Daniel Nogrando to jump
Speaker 2: in the main event, but you need to convince me, well,
Speaker 2: you know, players that are on the fans. You know,
Speaker 2: it's a big chunk of money, et cetera. The WSP
Speaker 2: plus app and that performing great. I don't think changes
Speaker 2: that much. But the ease of the credit card and
Speaker 2: the PayPal I think is more than the WSP plus
Speaker 2: up in itself. I'm going to disagree a little bit
Speaker 2: with the numbers. The worst w has to be entries
Speaker 2: being up seven percent. And the reason I say that
Speaker 2: is is that number little fake. And when I say that,
Speaker 2: I mean we've added all these flights, So of course
Speaker 2: the numbers are going to go up because we're added
Speaker 2: I think a title of six flights.
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily Cosss was down right.
Speaker 2: If we I'm talking, we've got months a stack, we've
Speaker 2: got Mini main event, we got mistery millions. I would
Speaker 2: rather see and look, we may not have this number,
Speaker 2: No one may have this number. I forget this number.
Speaker 2: I'd rather see a comparison of uniques pre event.
Speaker 1: Which shut out to a news. He made this exact
Speaker 1: point in the article on poker fuse dot com talking
Speaker 1: about the uniques, talking about how there's more flights in
Speaker 1: those events. My counter to that counter would be that
Speaker 1: there's a chance you get more people cashing, more people
Speaker 1: with some extra money, more people than parlaying into the
Speaker 1: main ogree like that. At least that's the hope, right.
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that the numbers being up is bad.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that I don't want to read too
Speaker 2: much into it. Yeah, because of the extra flights and
Speaker 2: you know, especially with some of the articles of saying,
Speaker 2: you know, we're two weeks in the World Series, you're
Speaker 2: on your numbers up. Well, when you move a big
Speaker 2: event early, it changes, you know, like there's so much
Speaker 2: to do with schedule manipulation to affect that that you know,
Speaker 2: you we're up seven percent, but by the end of
Speaker 2: the summer we might be up only one percent. You know,
Speaker 2: the back half may you know, may fall off. So
Speaker 2: you just have to use that data with just you know,
Speaker 2: just take a little bit of hesitation before being all
Speaker 2: in on it.
Speaker 3: That's all I'm going to say.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, I don't disagree with that stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just trying to, you know, kind of put
Speaker 1: this in a positive light and say, these are the
Speaker 1: factors that are pointing to the growth. I totally understand
Speaker 1: the other side. I still do very much. Think ten
Speaker 1: thousand is the floor. I think it's going to get
Speaker 1: over ten thousand, yes, and then it's just how much
Speaker 1: it's going to get over. I was also talking to
Speaker 1: Kevin Mathers, as I mentioned earlier today. He was saying
Speaker 1: that I think today there was a satellite that was
Speaker 1: giving out seventy four seats. Yeah, which, yeah, which seems
Speaker 1: I think it was one of the landmarks which got it.
Speaker 3: Guy.
Speaker 1: I think is really good this early because usually they
Speaker 1: get much bigger as you get closer to you day
Speaker 1: one D So.
Speaker 2: The seats the two twenty five seas scrambles gave more
Speaker 2: than twenty five seats, Yeah, today's just thirty two, I believe,
Speaker 2: plus obviously some cash and stuf.
Speaker 3: So that's a great sign as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're probably at let's call it fifteen hundred
Speaker 1: right now, you know, so I think things are pretty good.
Speaker 3: You could probably look and see how many already registered.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I guess we could see how many there
Speaker 1: were last year, right.
Speaker 2: So one A, we have two hundred and eighty five
Speaker 2: to stop. That will probably if previous years or any
Speaker 2: indication we're probably going to be around, you know, anywhere
Speaker 2: between eight hundred to one thousand players on Day one A.
Speaker 2: You know, Day one B. Obviously, this is a very
Speaker 2: early one hundred and thirty six players. Day one C
Speaker 2: seventy two players. Day one D already one hundred and
Speaker 2: seventy players. And I don't know if Day two you
Speaker 2: can enter yet, but you actually can't, mean.
Speaker 1: You should be able to ride. So last year on
Speaker 1: one A they had nine to fifteen correct, Okay, so
Speaker 1: I mean obviously, let's see, I don't remember exactly what
Speaker 1: would day of the week this all fell on last year.
Speaker 1: Did it start on July fourth last year?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Or did it start on July third? And then one
Speaker 1: B was July fourth?
Speaker 2: I believe one If my duck is correct, I think
Speaker 2: one B is July fourth.
Speaker 1: I'm just curious how because July fourth this year is Friday.
Speaker 1: That's one C. So I'm just curious if that affects anything.
Speaker 1: That's that's the day I'm playing on plane.
Speaker 2: But like, yeah, you know, I would always make July
Speaker 2: fourth one day if I was one D.
Speaker 1: Yep, why is that you want to push people to
Speaker 1: other flights?
Speaker 2: Yeah, one day's always to be I'm going to read
Speaker 2: out the NY is always a biggest for sure. Okay,
Speaker 2: nine to fifteen Day one A, eight thirty one, Day
Speaker 2: one B, twenty five hundred, Day one C, five thousand,
Speaker 2: Day one D. I want to move some of those
Speaker 2: five thousand to the early flights. The other option you
Speaker 2: can do is make you know, Day two D July fourth,
Speaker 2: so that really it gives you then, okay, three flights
Speaker 2: to choose from.
Speaker 3: If you want to do that in all WSP.
Speaker 1: Years, then you're starting the main event like they would.
Speaker 3: Never do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just saying, like, you know, for all the
Speaker 2: World Series going back to two thousand and eight, the
Speaker 2: largest flight has always been the last flight. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: the smallest flight has had some changes. It's been one A,
Speaker 2: it's been one B. Last year was one B year
Speaker 2: before one A before that one B, So that kind
Speaker 2: of has flipped up around. It's majority, it's predominantly sorry,
Speaker 2: Day one A. So you take that data and you're like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I've got nine hundred players on one A and I
Speaker 2: got five thousand players on one D. What can we
Speaker 2: do to get some of those players there? Because we
Speaker 2: think about the restarts, you know that Day two DE
Speaker 2: restart is a big, a big field compared to you know,
Speaker 2: the day to ABC or two AB restarts that we've done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I guess that that makes some sense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I'm curious how things all shake out. Obviously, we're
Speaker 1: going to be paying attention to the number on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: I'll be interested to see one if it does surpass
Speaker 1: last year's nine to fifteen on one A, and then
Speaker 1: two I think it will, and then two if it
Speaker 1: gets up over one thousand, I think that would be.
Speaker 3: I say it does pass.
Speaker 2: And the main reason I'm saying that is we have
Speaker 2: you know, we have the big thirty five hundred at
Speaker 2: area that's much earlier. Sorry, it was much earlier last year,
Speaker 2: So that's now basically overlapping the main event. We have
Speaker 2: a big event kicking off at MGM, We've got the
Speaker 2: tail end of the win event. So I would say
Speaker 2: that I'm going to be all in on one A
Speaker 2: being the smallest flight, and I'm probably smaller than last year.
Speaker 2: And I think when we are recording this part tomorrow
Speaker 2: that people are going to be like, oh, main event
Speaker 2: numbers could be.
Speaker 1: Down, yeah, right right, and then Day one B is
Speaker 1: gonna have fifty hundreds.
Speaker 2: Then we're going to kick it back up on one B,
Speaker 2: and I, like I said, there is some other you
Speaker 2: have to always think of what else is happening, And
Speaker 2: it's hard to like look in the past. Like if
Speaker 2: I ask you right now what was happening on one
Speaker 2: A last year, you'd be like, I don't know right
Speaker 2: But right now I can tell you what's happening. And
Speaker 2: I think we will potentially have a smaller one A
Speaker 2: just because hey, that's how the that's how the schedule falls,
Speaker 2: how the cookie crumbles.
Speaker 3: And that's fine.
Speaker 2: If if tomorrow is eight hundred players, I don't think
Speaker 2: we need to get We don't need to panic and
Speaker 2: worry that, you know, we're only going to get nine
Speaker 2: thousand or something. It's just the way the schedule is,
Speaker 2: and it will get. It will pick all up back
Speaker 2: on one B, one C, one D.
Speaker 3: Essential.
Speaker 1: Who are some players that are heating up just in
Speaker 1: time for the main event? I wrote a bunch down.
Speaker 3: Yeah I love them all.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's go through the list that I wrote down.
Speaker 1: Thomas Boyven, a couple of very very big final tables,
Speaker 1: hunter K high Roller and the two und and fifty
Speaker 1: K high Roller. So you know, in terms of heating up.
Speaker 1: He's been heating up this summer, and maybe we're going
Speaker 1: to see a deep run from one of the most
Speaker 1: thoughtful and you know, excellent players in the game. Alex
Speaker 1: Foxen just foul table the ten KPLO. I know it's PLO,
Speaker 1: but I feel like Foxton is due for a deep
Speaker 1: run in the WSP main events, and it would be
Speaker 1: kind of fitting that he would do it the year
Speaker 1: after Kristen Foxen did it.
Speaker 3: Like that would be cool as well. She can teach
Speaker 3: him a few things real quick.
Speaker 2: On Alex, we spoke yesterday about the multi tabling YEP,
Speaker 2: and we said we should ask was a plan?
Speaker 3: Was it an accident?
Speaker 2: I asked him today during a break in the ten
Speaker 2: k before he was eliminated in seventh place.
Speaker 3: He said it was planned.
Speaker 2: He felt like, you know, the only way it would
Speaker 2: be a problem was if he basically final tabled the
Speaker 2: ten KPLO. So you know, hebviously he took a risk
Speaker 2: with a bit of high variance and probably a good
Speaker 2: position to being. But yeah, that was planned scheduling from
Speaker 2: uh mister fox Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just you know, being around here all
Speaker 1: summer long, I feel like we're constantly seeing Alex Foxon
Speaker 1: build up some nice stacks. We obviously know the success
Speaker 1: that he's had in PGT events all season long. I'm
Speaker 1: ready for Alex Foxon to have like, you know, forty
Speaker 1: million chips Chip leader on day whatever seven And it
Speaker 1: just happened, like everyone being like, oh my god, a million.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm throwing it out there. I don't know
Speaker 1: exactly how it lines up, but you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: just have a mountain of chips and deep in the tournament,
Speaker 1: just be steamrolling through the thing. Josh Reichard, he's one
Speaker 1: of those players who thrives in huge field, no limit
Speaker 1: hold them tournaments. So you know, we saw it obviously
Speaker 1: millionaire maker, he got third place, he had that win
Speaker 1: at Venetian several weeks ago. Like I mean, Josh Reichard,
Speaker 1: I feel like is ready to go. I feel like
Speaker 1: in all these big field tournaments, it's like, oh, look
Speaker 1: he's got chips again. Look who's got chips again. Look
Speaker 1: who's got chips again? And it's always Josh Reiker. So
Speaker 1: I think he's heating up for a big run in
Speaker 1: the Wamana Man. Scott Bolman now Scott Bowman probably more
Speaker 1: of a mixed game guy than Nolan and hold them guy,
Speaker 1: but did win the two K Nolman hold them already?
Speaker 1: You know he's he's fine in Nolanan hold them like?
Speaker 1: You know, is he one of the super gto Wizard guys?
Speaker 1: Okay probably not, No, But I think Scott Bowman is
Speaker 1: a winning player on the w Man and menfield by far.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 1: The fact that he's got a lot of momentum, a
Speaker 1: lot of confidence with all the deep runs that he's
Speaker 1: had this summer, including right now in the ten K
Speaker 1: stud high Low that he's still in. You know, like,
Speaker 1: I do not be surprised if you see Scott Bowman's
Speaker 1: name in the final one hundred, top fifty or whatever
Speaker 1: is the WSMANA mat likes. Sometimes it just all comes
Speaker 1: together for a player during the summer. Was actually out
Speaker 1: of this well Yeah, but he was, I mean he
Speaker 1: was just in a guy again not too long. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was in the final two tables or three tables.
Speaker 1: Nick Seward, Nick Sewart, I feel like has been kind
Speaker 1: of flying under the radar this summer, but he has
Speaker 1: eleven or twelve cast year.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say I think he's second most or
Speaker 2: third most cushions, Yeah.
Speaker 1: But like I don't think they've been Like I don't
Speaker 1: think he's had any final tables.
Speaker 3: Now I had one Deeve run in like a one something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's like, you know, maybe things that are
Speaker 1: just kind of just not working out kind of towards
Speaker 1: the end, or when he's getting ready to go deep,
Speaker 1: maybe you lose a flip or a big pot or
Speaker 1: whatever obviously can change everything.
Speaker 2: And the six in the sixth place in the eight
Speaker 2: hundred dollars deep Stack for seventy two k fifty, first
Speaker 2: in the Millionaire Maker for thirty three k so's results.
Speaker 1: One final table and that smaller buy in one but
Speaker 1: a little bit lesser coverage on that one of course,
Speaker 1: but still, you know, Nick Sewart is a guy who's
Speaker 1: performed extremely well over the years. You know, I like
Speaker 1: these players like him, like he's in that same vein
Speaker 1: of you know, like a Jeremy Becker type where they
Speaker 1: they have thrived for so much of their career in
Speaker 1: big field Nolanan hold him tournaments against players that you
Speaker 1: know are kind of average on the whole, right, Like
Speaker 1: like the players that an event aren't you know, all
Speaker 1: crushers that play in the studio or people that are
Speaker 1: crushing Triton or all that sort of stuff. You know,
Speaker 1: there a lot of them are shot takers. I mean
Speaker 1: they say it's the softest ten k in the world,
Speaker 1: and I would believe that. Yes, of course you're going
Speaker 1: to run into plenty of good players, but you know
Speaker 1: there's gonna be plenty of recreationals or amateurs, shot takers, dreamers,
Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff. And you know, Nick Seward
Speaker 1: just like being able to play with that caliber of
Speaker 1: player for so much of his career. Do not be
Speaker 1: surprised if you see Nick Seward running deep. Michael Wang
Speaker 1: he won the sixteen hundred dollars event at the Win
Speaker 1: earlier this summer for I think five hundred K or
Speaker 1: right thereabouts. Michael Wang is a freaking crusher and is
Speaker 1: coming off a ten K Poo Championship win, which we
Speaker 1: will talk about later on in this episode. But he
Speaker 1: just won that last night. Now I know ten K
Speaker 1: PLO is not ten K Nolan hold him his main event,
Speaker 1: but still ill momentum confidence all that sort of stuff,
Speaker 1: like like you got to be riding freaking high going
Speaker 1: into the biggest tournament of the summer. So you know,
Speaker 1: Michael Wang I think is getting hot at the right time,
Speaker 1: and then I'm leaving this one for last year. One,
Speaker 1: he's still on the mini main event. Two. I mean
Speaker 1: his name has been at the top of everyone's list
Speaker 1: all summer long, you know, in the headlines, all over
Speaker 1: social media, all that sort of stuff, and that's mister
Speaker 1: Martin Cabrell. Would you be shocked in the slightest if
Speaker 1: Martin Cabrell was on like day eight yelling not like
Speaker 1: that and Casino Royale at the feature table that event
Speaker 1: with his freaking hippo pushing that thing across the table.
Speaker 3: I may have a quit by then if that is
Speaker 3: the case.
Speaker 2: And when he's on the feature table for five or
Speaker 2: six seven days straight.
Speaker 1: The thing is is like he's he's gotten a lot
Speaker 1: of publicity. He's been in the headlines, he's been captivating
Speaker 1: social media, all that sort of stuff all throughout the
Speaker 1: WSP so far. You know, of course, very polarizing as well.
Speaker 1: There are plenty of people that do not like him
Speaker 1: in his antics. There are plenty of people that love
Speaker 1: him in his antics. For as much buzz and stuff
Speaker 1: that he has gotten so far, imagine if it if
Speaker 1: it is now a deep run in the WSP main event,
Speaker 1: the biggest tournament of the year, the one that all
Speaker 1: the lights are on, that everyone in poker pays attention
Speaker 1: to like that one. Could you I mean, could you
Speaker 1: imagine that that would be out of control? Absolutely out
Speaker 1: of control?
Speaker 3: What are you looking up, Dan O'grenor he's on your list?
Speaker 1: He's not on my list?
Speaker 3: No, huh, players that are heating up.
Speaker 1: And yeah, the reason why I didn't put him on
Speaker 1: my list is because I have him for some of
Speaker 1: my other stuff.
Speaker 3: I know that, but I think he needs to be considered.
Speaker 2: He's got nine and the cash for the ninth time
Speaker 2: today in the mix big bet.
Speaker 3: What's so impressive about this?
Speaker 2: And this could be a history defining stat that I
Speaker 2: think that may take a lot of time to QC.
Speaker 2: But he's catched nine times. That's that's not that impressive.
Speaker 3: But it's not.
Speaker 2: It's nine different events, nine different variants of poker. To me,
Speaker 2: you know, that is more.
Speaker 1: Than the element. Oh yeah, he cast two fifty K.
Speaker 2: So I think just on that, you know, we're talking
Speaker 2: about his most previous results. Obviously, he was a fourth
Speaker 2: today fourth today, He's had a ninth an eighth, a seventh,
Speaker 2: a second kind of heating up right, So I think
Speaker 2: he has to.
Speaker 3: Kind of be on that list.
Speaker 2: Maybe not as hot as Mine Cobrell or Michael Wang,
Speaker 2: but you know, standing on grinder and I know we're
Speaker 2: going to touch on him soon. Bit I think we
Speaker 2: need to just put him on the heating us.
Speaker 1: Listen. I don't disagree, you know, there's just I mean,
Speaker 1: we could probably name fifty players. You know, we could
Speaker 1: just keep going and keep going and keep going. So,
Speaker 1: you know, another one, just like Dan and Grin and
Speaker 1: Victor Blom, has had a lot of success this summer.
Speaker 1: I think he is stilling. Maybe he's out, but either way,
Speaker 1: he walk deep run as well.
Speaker 3: He's one of the short stacks, but he is still
Speaker 3: so the worst of plus.
Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, let's do some predictions now as
Speaker 1: it pertains to the event, the big name with the
Speaker 1: deepest run will be No, Phil Helmuth. Is he still
Speaker 1: in the ten case? Because all these guys that we're
Speaker 1: talking about are still in this ten case.
Speaker 3: Dot I Loo, yeah, eleventh and chips okay, And.
Speaker 1: This is where I put Dana m'grany. I think now
Speaker 1: I also put somebody else in parentheses, and that was
Speaker 1: Martin Cabrel. And the reason why I put him in
Speaker 1: parentheses is because when I'm when I wrote down this question,
Speaker 1: big name, I meant, you know, the Negrown News, the helmets,
Speaker 1: the I like the big big names. You know. Yes,
Speaker 1: Martin Cabrell is getting a lot of buzz this year.
Speaker 1: He's not in that class, you know, but in terms
Speaker 1: of this summer, there's obviously a lot of buzz around
Speaker 1: Martin Cabrell. So he I guess he could technically qualify,
Speaker 1: but I'm still I'm going with Negranu. And I also,
Speaker 1: like you mentioned all of Negron New's success this summer.
Speaker 1: I like his state of mind. I like his the vibe,
Speaker 1: the energy about him. He's a little bit more care free,
Speaker 1: you know, the doesn't probably feel that much pressure. I
Speaker 1: referenced it on our previous podcast. But I talked with
Speaker 1: him earlier in the summer, you know, just about how
Speaker 1: this summer feels compared to last summer. Last summer, you know,
Speaker 1: before he won that seven bracelet, it was always every year,
Speaker 1: is Daniel gonna do it? Is he gonna do it?
Speaker 1: Is he gonna do Is he gonna finally break this drought? Well,
Speaker 1: he finally broke the drought last year, so now this
Speaker 1: year even too even he said it, you know, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit more free, and I'll have some wine,
Speaker 1: maybe I'll chill out a little bit, all that sort
Speaker 1: of stuff. So I definitely think you see it from
Speaker 1: Daniel and maybe that carries over into the main event
Speaker 1: and he's able to really put together a deep run.
Speaker 1: That would be absolutely.
Speaker 2: I'm only picking Hilm with just for the headlines. Tell
Speaker 2: me there's no shot because he complained about it being
Speaker 2: too long the out and I want to see him.
Speaker 2: Been a long time since he's made a run in
Speaker 2: the main event. I think you've touched on it very
Speaker 2: early in these World Series pods. It's been years since
Speaker 2: he's made a run, and I wanted to. I just
Speaker 2: want to see him get to say Dave six and
Speaker 2: all the media is flogging im and he's say, I'm
Speaker 2: so tired. I don't know how he's this is not fair.
Speaker 2: I want to just see the media circus that follows him.
Speaker 2: You know, he's got to do his entrance on day too.
Speaker 2: He's gonna be running day He's going to be complaining
Speaker 2: about the length of time he's probably gonna be napping
Speaker 2: on the table doing all these things onto the bright
Speaker 2: lights of the feature.
Speaker 3: I want to see that craziness.
Speaker 1: But so often during the summer we hear from helm Youth,
Speaker 1: usually via social media, how he's so tired, had to
Speaker 1: sleep in, just had to skip this event because I
Speaker 1: slept till six pm. I haven't heard any of that.
Speaker 1: So and and I've watched him in a lot of tournaments.
Speaker 1: He looks good. You know, he's lost some weight. Yep,
Speaker 1: I honestly believe that. He said the other day somebody
Speaker 1: said something to hibout losing weight, and he said, mondurro.
Speaker 1: So you know, he looks good. He looks energetic. You know,
Speaker 1: he seems a little bit happier that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: Of course, you did you have the slight blows. We
Speaker 1: haven't had a big helmet book, had some slight stuff
Speaker 1: here and there, so you know, maybe he is just
Speaker 1: kind of rejuvenated, energized and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: So that could go to your point. If he's feeling good,
Speaker 1: maybe it translates to a deep run on the WSPAN event.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Right, so let's see which woman will go the furthest.
Speaker 2: There's so many a choose from. It's really it's really difficult,
Speaker 2: since I know your pick. I was going, it's looking
Speaker 2: at side. I was looking more hometown, more local, more Vegas,
Speaker 2: and I want to go Katie Lindsay, who when we
Speaker 2: wrote this was making a run in the mini main event.
Speaker 2: She's actually now being eliminated. I believe it was eight
Speaker 2: or ninth place, but a good run in.
Speaker 1: Place for one hundred and fourteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: There's no better preparation for the big main event than
Speaker 2: running deep in the mini main event.
Speaker 3: So that's perfect timing.
Speaker 2: She's probably gonn take a day off tomorrow, jump in
Speaker 2: on one B or one C maybe. I think that's
Speaker 2: a pretty good, uh stepping point for her to have
Speaker 2: a big run in the this year's main event.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know I'm picking now shina Oka. God,
Speaker 1: we need that on T shirt. Let's go. And I
Speaker 1: was watching we were watching Nigarany's log. He said he
Speaker 1: played with her last year, was it and she was
Speaker 1: very aggressive, So getting after it in the main event.
Speaker 1: I love that out of a player, you know, not
Speaker 1: willing to just sit back and and just try and
Speaker 1: wait for things to come to them. You go and
Speaker 1: get the chips.
Speaker 2: So you're definitely gonna wind up on her signing table
Speaker 2: on when you play the Manument this year.
Speaker 3: I mean, okay, feeling that's fine with me. You guys
Speaker 3: have got a wall, that's.
Speaker 1: Fine with me. As long as she decides to go
Speaker 1: three barrels with Queen Hie against my trip as is
Speaker 1: all good. I'm ready to click call baby, let's go.
Speaker 1: Which former WSB main event champ will last the longest?
Speaker 3: I'm taking Lossi's champ.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: I haven't heard a thing that about him this world series?
Speaker 2: Has he even made one cash?
Speaker 1: He ran deep in I actually think it was that
Speaker 1: heighth dollar deep seck that Nick Seward Meta found.
Speaker 3: Table a terrible event.
Speaker 1: But I have heard much other than that.
Speaker 3: We're gonna hear his name.
Speaker 2: He makes a run in this year's main event, get
Speaker 2: that cash, make anft of defending the town. Not many
Speaker 2: previous champs have cashed the following year. I think it's
Speaker 2: fourteen players have cashed the next year. I think the
Speaker 2: last one being that he had eighty fifth, last one
Speaker 2: being Dan Wyman, one before that was Krai. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be Jonathan. He's gonna do with this, he's going to
Speaker 2: finish seventy first seventy first players. Jonathan Tomayo, No way,
Speaker 2: great defense of your championship win right there.
Speaker 1: Joe McKeon a crusher when it comes to big field
Speaker 1: nolanman Holden tournaments. He obviously did it in the main
Speaker 1: event once he's done it elsewhere plenty of times. I
Speaker 1: got Joe McKeon. It's time for Joe McKeon to make
Speaker 1: another deep was main event run. So that's who I got,
Speaker 1: which twenty twenty five Gold Bracelet winner is going to
Speaker 1: go the deepest. When you think of your pick here
Speaker 1: is freaking incredible. This is awesome.
Speaker 2: When you think of Michael with a grindam is you
Speaker 2: think about the fifty k PPC? Okay, yeah, but did
Speaker 2: you know he's already he's catched eleven times? This was
Speaker 2: I know, Okay, I once heard about this. Everyone just
Speaker 2: thinks PPC, that's it. No PPC. We had twenty fifth
Speaker 2: place in the Battle of Ages. We've had cashers in
Speaker 2: PLO events, six handed events, super turbo events, double board,
Speaker 2: bomb pot events.
Speaker 3: Everything.
Speaker 2: He's back, baby's He is storming to get in the
Speaker 2: Poker Hall of Fame. And this is where he stamps
Speaker 2: his legacy with a ninth place finish in this year's
Speaker 2: ws A main event.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're just you're going a little too crazy
Speaker 1: with the exact finishes in this thing. I got Adria Mitaeos,
Speaker 1: another another big field crusher, one of the absolute best
Speaker 1: in the game. If you're questioning, well, what bracelet did
Speaker 1: a Jim Mitatos win, he won one of those online
Speaker 1: to live highrid events, the high Rollers, so it counts.
Speaker 1: It is a bracelet, and Adrian Mittaos is one of
Speaker 1: the best thing games. Also somebody who I mean outside
Speaker 1: of that bracelet, we haven't really heard much about Mateos,
Speaker 1: like in terms of running deep in events. So you know,
Speaker 1: maybe he pops up and all of a sudden, it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: there's Agent Mataos. It's day seven, He's got a bazillion chips.
Speaker 1: There we go.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Look, I don't say, uh, I don't obviously expect to
Speaker 2: miss the main event. But the onely show I have
Speaker 2: for some of these high stakes guys is that we're
Speaker 2: going to get into a round of events. A lot
Speaker 2: of high stakes events coming up. You know, we have
Speaker 2: avans of this shoot. We got a fifty k Hirolla. I'm
Speaker 2: just wondering, is that mind really in the main event
Speaker 2: or is it going.
Speaker 1: To be like, oh, I'd rather plays in the main event.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Yes, we'll say we'll say.
Speaker 1: One thousand percent in the main events. One thousand percent,
Speaker 1: which twenty five K fantasy player will score the most
Speaker 1: points in the main event, which means go the deepest
Speaker 1: likely going to need to hit the field bonus to
Speaker 1: score the most points. So who's it going to be?
Speaker 2: I think it's the guy that is probably top five
Speaker 2: currently in twenty five K Fantasy points, Victor Blump about
Speaker 2: to get a not that good pick ten something here
Speaker 2: pretty easily. Who knows, he's just having an unbelievable summer.
Speaker 2: You know, we we laughed. I believe we joke week
Speaker 2: one or two of the World Series. You know, we
Speaker 2: read an article about the year the Summer of Victor
Speaker 2: or the Year of Victor.
Speaker 3: It hadn't won anything. He just made some file tables.
Speaker 1: But he's just and then right after that he made
Speaker 1: another just.
Speaker 3: Kept making final tables, kept cashing.
Speaker 2: Now he hasn't you know, he hasn't broken through his
Speaker 2: for his first bracelet, but he's been knocking on the door.
Speaker 3: He's knocking on the door again.
Speaker 2: He might be short here, fifteen left in the Start
Speaker 2: eight Championship, but it seems like every event he plays he's.
Speaker 3: Within a shot.
Speaker 2: It's like kind of like Ivy's year from two years ago,
Speaker 2: where it feels like every time he played an event
Speaker 2: he cashed. Same here with Victor and you know fellow
Speaker 2: Swede Nicholas third place last year. US it's gonna that's
Speaker 2: gonna that's gonna rub off on the Victor. I think
Speaker 2: we're gonna share some secrets.
Speaker 1: Secrets. Yeah, like they need to really share an.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure Victor can improve on that third place,
Speaker 2: finished second in the WSP Man event.
Speaker 1: You're ridiculous with these things. I mean, I got the
Speaker 1: best big field norlmal Holden player in the world, Steven Song.
Speaker 1: Of course he's on our team as well. I mean
Speaker 1: we absolutely freaking need it. Yeah, so he needs to win,
Speaker 1: Stephen Song, if you could just win the WS Minna,
Speaker 1: that would be.
Speaker 3: How many points for winning? Two point fifty? Is it?
Speaker 2: Is it better him to just get a field bonus
Speaker 2: and then go pay some other stuff.
Speaker 1: Though, No, he can just We're each gonna give three
Speaker 1: under the radar names to keep an eye on. Now,
Speaker 1: these are these are shots in the dark, you know,
Speaker 1: but but just I'm just saying, just don't be surprised
Speaker 1: if we call some names out and you see these
Speaker 1: guys run deep and something ends up happening. Okay, do
Speaker 1: you want to go first? A Terrible?
Speaker 2: So I'll do my first one, then you can Terrible
Speaker 2: A brit Brandon Shields.
Speaker 1: I see, I like that pick.
Speaker 2: I know this look a bit. My other one's at
Speaker 2: a little question. He's got seven WSP cashes so far.
Speaker 2: He had a fifth in that six max final table
Speaker 2: that Andre angelvic sow.
Speaker 3: We say it one.
Speaker 2: But he also has a victory to win in a
Speaker 2: one K turbo for forty K and another deep running
Speaker 2: that same eight hundred deep sack event for thirteen thousand
Speaker 2: and just before the World Series kicked off. He also
Speaker 2: won a Venetian of monthster stack for twenty eight K.
Speaker 2: So he's been collecting wins here. We wind it back
Speaker 2: even further back in the UK, back in his home
Speaker 2: the second place of forty three k. He's got some
Speaker 2: results this all year. It feels like it's definitely he's
Speaker 2: in the right spot to make a real, real run
Speaker 2: in this year's main event.
Speaker 1: Do you want me to list off all of mine?
Speaker 2: Let's let's because look, I don't like this off the
Speaker 2: rate I think. I think it's just throwing a dart
Speaker 2: against the wall.
Speaker 3: Yeah it is.
Speaker 2: I love it. So it is my first one I
Speaker 2: think is legitimate. I think yours are fine, and then
Speaker 2: my last two are questionable.
Speaker 1: So there's one that you wrote down, this one question.
Speaker 3: This one is a lock. Nikolai Tulan. I don't even
Speaker 3: know how that is exactly.
Speaker 1: He's another one of these players who I played with once.
Speaker 1: I was very impressed with how he played, was digging
Speaker 1: his energy at the table. Thought he had a good,
Speaker 1: I don't know, good charisma about him. Looked like he
Speaker 1: was very thoughtful, gave me some fits in some hands.
Speaker 1: So Nikolai Tulin, I think he only has three cashes
Speaker 1: this summer. Nothing big, nothing like you know, truly notable.
Speaker 1: But don't be surprised if you see that name, Nikolai
Speaker 1: tulin deep in the w's main event. Another guy, now,
Speaker 1: this one. If I were to get any shit for
Speaker 1: anyone that I picked, it would be on this next guy.
Speaker 1: Let's see if you can tell me why Colin Robinson, So.
Speaker 3: Why would you get given great fun? I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't think anything that's that's kind of under the
Speaker 3: right though.
Speaker 1: Yes, if you're a poker head, you will know that
Speaker 1: he already has a bracelet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think that is I know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You know, I often say like, oh, that person can't
Speaker 1: be breakout player of the year because of this reason.
Speaker 1: You know, so you could. I mean, he has a bracelet.
Speaker 1: He won the twenty five hundred dollars Nolan Hold him
Speaker 1: last year. He also has a second place finish in
Speaker 1: the Monster Stack. From twenty twenty three, he has a
Speaker 1: third place finish and a fifteen hundred dollars Nolan hold him.
Speaker 1: Then for twenty eighteen, he has a ninth place finish
Speaker 1: in the Colossus in twenty twenty three. I mean he's
Speaker 1: gone deep in several events, big field events. Colin Robinson.
Speaker 1: So somebody who I think is a very good player, young,
Speaker 1: gets after it, aggressive all that sort of stuff. So
Speaker 1: you know, I doubt the way I look at it
Speaker 1: is like this, if I give this name, can people
Speaker 1: kind of walk into the field and find and like
Speaker 1: pick this person out and I'm gonna say the common
Speaker 1: poker fan can't so like that's what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: I want this person to then be like kind of
Speaker 1: known as a face if they do run deep. So
Speaker 1: Colin Robinson, I got Carlin Sewed Crusher plays a lot
Speaker 1: of big field, no limits stuff. We'll certainly get after it.
Speaker 1: Has had success plenty, but w's main event looking at him.
Speaker 1: And then Dan Moran is another one, young British kid.
Speaker 3: Griffin.
Speaker 1: Yep, he took second I believe second or third yea,
Speaker 1: And I played with him in the n apt Las
Speaker 1: Vegas Manament last year. Very very good player, young, willing
Speaker 1: to get after it. The only question with Dan Moran
Speaker 1: is I know he is a big traveler, goes all
Speaker 1: over the world, traveling from place to place to place.
Speaker 1: I only saw one cash on his hand him off
Speaker 1: for this summer. It was in I think The Colossus.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a guy who could honestly come here,
Speaker 1: play the Colossus and then like go off to the
Speaker 1: next place. Okay, so then just making sure, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised if he just
Speaker 1: like fed off and went and go you know, did
Speaker 1: did life? You know? Which is totally fine. So those
Speaker 1: of min Nikolai tul and Colin Robinson, carl And Sewed
Speaker 1: and Dan Moran, you have rain and shields.
Speaker 2: So I took a little look, a little artistic license
Speaker 2: with off under the radar freaking I got one that
Speaker 2: I didn't run down yet. He just got his ninth
Speaker 2: cash and the Gladiators and Focus not the Gladiads apologize
Speaker 2: the Focus Star of poking his deep Stack championship. Okay,
Speaker 2: nine Cash is when you when I say this name,
Speaker 2: you're not going to really think tournaments in cash games.
Speaker 3: You're gonna think other things.
Speaker 2: But I think he's turned the corner and I think
Speaker 2: he's very focused. We saw it last year on tournaments.
Speaker 2: He seems to be made an effort to play more
Speaker 2: tournaments and follow in the foosteps of his brother Andrew
Speaker 2: talking about Johnny Vibes, Johnny moreno cash game, guy's got
Speaker 2: those vologs.
Speaker 3: Nine Cash is this summer and.
Speaker 2: Kicking away getting a results, nothing, nothing crazy, you know,
Speaker 2: but he's he's there, it's competing, and I think you
Speaker 2: know it's you know, it doesn't really classify under the
Speaker 2: under the radar that you would go with. But I
Speaker 2: don't think when I say Johnny Vibe is going to
Speaker 2: make a deep made round, no, I would really kind
Speaker 2: of maybe have that on their go card. So I'm
Speaker 2: going to put him in there. Nine cashes so far
Speaker 2: and at the rear a couple of years ago. Yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: so and now my third one. This is a very
Speaker 2: controversial one for Donald. But this guy, he played two
Speaker 2: events and then he decided to take a plane to
Speaker 2: Egypt and see the pyramids and eat food and go
Speaker 2: partying for a month as a professional poker player during
Speaker 2: the World Series of Poker. Now you're going to say,
Speaker 2: what an idiot, But I'm going to say he's primed,
Speaker 2: mentally primed, he's relaxed, he's ready. He is back yesterday,
Speaker 2: straight to the ARIA, right, So he's going to dust off.
Speaker 2: He's going to dust off the rust. Okay, at that
Speaker 2: silly casino down the road. It's going to come here
Speaker 2: and he is going to storm the WSP main event,
Speaker 2: ascend to the top of the pyramid, fifth place, justin Za, Justine.
Speaker 1: He's not under the radar, so it doesn't.
Speaker 3: Look Yeah, I took out his stick glasses.
Speaker 2: He's a couple of names I did have, but I
Speaker 2: looked at their results, nothing really stood out where I'm like,
Speaker 2: I was confident that things were in their way. Brandon
Speaker 2: Sunshine played some PGT events. He did make a run
Speaker 2: the Battle of Ages. I believe another PGT player, Miles
Speaker 2: malali Yep, I've seen him around a lot. Results haven't
Speaker 2: spoken for himself. Did it got a bit unlucky in
Speaker 2: the fountable.
Speaker 1: To five K?
Speaker 3: Six? No?
Speaker 1: Five K?
Speaker 3: It was maybe it was a five? Yeah? They were
Speaker 3: two that I had on, but I was I just
Speaker 3: they didn't.
Speaker 2: Have the aura, the aura to ascend the pyramid and
Speaker 2: finish in fifth place in the WSP main event, like
Speaker 2: Justin Zachy's gonna do.
Speaker 1: I know, I didn't put it on here, but we
Speaker 1: have to have to talk about it. What's your main
Speaker 1: event field sized prediction?
Speaker 2: I think last time, like what two episodes ago, I
Speaker 2: was like, I think it may just hit ten thousand,
Speaker 2: So my god, ten thousand sixty six.
Speaker 1: So Tim's got ten thousand and sixty six entries in
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five Doubsmuda and I am going ten thousand,
Speaker 1: six hundred and thirty big Okay, ten thousand, six hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty three. That is my number so big. That
Speaker 1: is the that is the one thing that we want
Speaker 1: you guys to drop it in the in the YouTube comments,
Speaker 1: tweeted us He's Tim underscore underscore. It's a double undscore,
Speaker 1: Tim underscore underscore, Duckworth, I'm Donnie underscore. Peters, I got
Speaker 1: a single underscore. He's got a double underscore.
Speaker 3: It changed.
Speaker 1: You can also at poker Go on social media let
Speaker 1: us know the main event entries that you guys think
Speaker 1: are going to get in there. You can email us
Speaker 1: podcast at PokerGO dot com basically anyway that you can
Speaker 1: reach us or the show, let us know what you
Speaker 1: think the DOUBSP mainavent field size is going to be
Speaker 1: for this year. Tim's going over ten thousand, but a
Speaker 1: little bit less than last year, although it's in middle.
Speaker 1: It's in the middle of last year the year before,
Speaker 1: so still very very solid number. I'm going biggest ever teny,
Speaker 1: six hundred and thirty three. Let's go Baby. Also, as
Speaker 1: part of the w s AP main event Wednesday, July second,
Speaker 1: it All kicks off, which also means poker Goes coverage
Speaker 1: of the WAP main event kicks off. What do we got?
Speaker 1: You told me I got it all in my head.
Speaker 1: I got the whole schedule on my head, so please
Speaker 1: tell me. Streamings are what the heck we got going
Speaker 1: on tomorrow.
Speaker 3: We turn the cameras on, we don't turn them off.
Speaker 1: That's a start.
Speaker 3: We don't turn them off until there's a winner.
Speaker 2: That's it. Next topic. But in all seriousness, we are streaming.
Speaker 2: Obviously every day we're doing. It's gonna gonna look a
Speaker 2: little different here in the Horseshoe, the day ones, the
Speaker 2: four day ones. We're gonna be picking up action on
Speaker 2: the level before dinner breaks about four point thirty pm.
Speaker 2: If you're familiar with this room, we know we have
Speaker 2: a main stage here. We will have what we call
Speaker 2: the Horseshoe stage. We're gonna have two tables, the main
Speaker 2: one in the horse shoot. It's one stream. It's gonna
Speaker 2: start at seven pm Pacific, that is ten pm easton.
Speaker 3: We're gonna go six hours.
Speaker 2: We're gonna cut some brakes out, we're gonna fast forward
Speaker 2: in the future with us fancy machine. So that's day one,
Speaker 2: two tables, three levels, six hours of coverage starting at
Speaker 2: seven pm local time.
Speaker 1: Who's on commentary that's gonna chat?
Speaker 3: I know some some buffoon. Do you know who it is? Yeah,
Speaker 3: baffoon exactly.
Speaker 1: This is what you did once on the podcast this
Speaker 1: year I've done a couple of times. That's the Rock
Speaker 1: Van Dam rob Let's go shout e c w B.
Speaker 3: Day two, so that's getting a little different.
Speaker 1: Show me the same man, let's go ACW is fucking
Speaker 1: legit back?
Speaker 3: I never really watched the w W w W.
Speaker 1: I know, but then then I got a hold of
Speaker 1: the e c W and the crazy shit.
Speaker 3: That maybe we didn't get that in Australia. I missed
Speaker 3: that Wild watch lot of highlights Wild.
Speaker 1: I mean you should. You should, honestly, just look up
Speaker 1: some I've seen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just they two the two day twos, we're
Speaker 2: doing four levels. We're going to do two before dinner,
Speaker 2: two after them as we skip level one and look.
Speaker 2: Mainly we do that because you know players are still coming.
Speaker 3: We don't really know.
Speaker 2: Now we're gonna have two tables on the Horseshoe set
Speaker 2: because our big dog's coming here to clean up this
Speaker 2: main event stage, make it look all pretty for TV.
Speaker 2: So Day two, two tables, four levels from the Horseshoe.
Speaker 2: Day three, Day four, Full Stream Baby Full day every
Speaker 2: hand from the future table, but we're going to do
Speaker 2: three levels prior to dinner break. Second stream is going
Speaker 2: to start after dinner break, but entire coverage we expect. Look,
Speaker 2: if my number is correct for the main event, we're
Speaker 2: going to make the money late day three, and that
Speaker 2: ten hour day probably ends up being at level or twelve.
Speaker 2: If Donnie's numbers correct, we'll be making it early day four.
Speaker 3: Just like last year.
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty four, the money was fifteen hundred and
Speaker 2: eighteen places. We came back on day four with fifteen
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty four quick you know, I think it
Speaker 2: was probably maybe thirty minute bubble, nice and early on
Speaker 2: day four. That's what we expect now Day five, this
Speaker 2: is where it gets fun.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: We're going to have three tables from the main stage, okay,
Speaker 2: and three different streams. First time we've ever done this.
Speaker 2: The main stream is going to be kind of what
Speaker 2: you normally see. We're gonna have the main feature table,
Speaker 2: we'll go out to Table B, we'll go to Table CEE.
Speaker 2: We'll have the A Star commentary team. We've got the
Speaker 2: night shift back, Ali Najade and Nick Surman Penning. He
Speaker 2: is not final tabling or winning more bracelets and all
Speaker 2: of day five. So you go to three hours before dinner, sorry,
Speaker 2: three levels before dinner, two levels after, and.
Speaker 1: I think different. I think we're getting more night shift
Speaker 1: this year.
Speaker 3: Are they going to be a little bit of an
Speaker 3: afternoon shift?
Speaker 1: No? I just think. I mean I was talking to Ali.
Speaker 1: I mean he was telling me that, you know, we're
Speaker 1: getting more night shift. Okay, So I mean I see one, two, three, four,
Speaker 1: I see five days.
Speaker 3: More days of the night shift. Yeah, which is look
Speaker 3: what we all want. I thought you meant.
Speaker 2: More like hours, and I was like, that's kind of
Speaker 2: hard for the night shift because night shifts and night shift?
Speaker 1: Are we all? Are we supposed? Are we supposed talk?
Speaker 1: Can I talk about this name?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't think we should.
Speaker 1: Okay, there's a name on the talent list for commentators
Speaker 1: that Tim and I are obviously looking at right now.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're supposed to say it or not,
Speaker 1: but so we'll leave that for right now.
Speaker 3: Look, we'll tell you it's John Cena. Johnsen is doing
Speaker 3: Johnson is.
Speaker 1: Coming out, John Cena. You can't see me, baby.
Speaker 3: The difference this year is, like I said, we're doing three.
Speaker 1: Sir, whish just are wrestling and poker podcast.
Speaker 3: I don't get bored of that too quickly. What I
Speaker 3: don't really watch using anymore. I can just see what.
Speaker 1: We can start.
Speaker 2: I got two, we get started again. No, no, I
Speaker 2: don't want to set again. I've got too much any
Speaker 2: too much euzzy rules to watch. We're going to do
Speaker 2: a table two or table B dedicated feed. And what
Speaker 2: that means is if you have a loved one on
Speaker 2: table two, or maybe your favorite players on table two,
Speaker 2: you could just watch that.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say, if you're you
Speaker 1: can you can request them to the future.
Speaker 2: Look, you can request them my venmo is that No,
Speaker 2: it's just kidding. But what that means is like, yes,
Speaker 2: if you do have you know, friend, family, or your
Speaker 2: favorite player is on table two, you can just watch
Speaker 2: the street with them. You know, you'll see only their graphics,
Speaker 2: You'll see only those cameras. Unfortunately, no commentary for that one. Okay,
Speaker 2: but it's kind of cool new feature.
Speaker 1: I thought we might have commentary for it.
Speaker 2: No, but I'm going to tell you Table three. Okay,
Speaker 2: Table three same concept, okay, but less cameras and we
Speaker 2: may have.
Speaker 1: I think it's fewer cameras.
Speaker 3: It's technically also less cameras.
Speaker 1: Let's go, I'm just messing. I know, go ahead, but.
Speaker 2: Table three, fewer cameras, impossible commentators, just to like, just
Speaker 2: to give it a little bit more spice. Won't be
Speaker 2: the regular A team that you're going to expect. It
Speaker 2: might be the B team I over here, possibly.
Speaker 3: He might be.
Speaker 1: First of all, I'm like the D team, not the team.
Speaker 1: Don't even give me that much.
Speaker 2: The team right here of Donald Peters and I believe
Speaker 2: the return of possibly Remco Ingema.
Speaker 1: Remco will be in the mix plenty. It's it's our
Speaker 1: team is me, Remco and Tristan Wade. Okay, it'll be
Speaker 1: it'll be some combination of the three of us, depending
Speaker 1: on what's going on. For example, on Wednesday, Remco is
Speaker 1: going to be handling duties at the Venetian. I'll be
Speaker 1: on the W S O P stream alongside Tristan, So
Speaker 1: it'll it'll just kind of be depending on what's going on.
Speaker 1: I also plan on making at least day six of
Speaker 1: the event, so you guys are gonna.
Speaker 2: Have to be making level six first before that.
Speaker 1: Very true. I need to focus on making the sixth hand.
Speaker 1: Then I'll worry about level six.
Speaker 3: If you're sitting with Shena O couldgto.
Speaker 2: That will be a very big worry making the sixth
Speaker 2: hand because you guys could be playing some six bet
Speaker 2: pots every hand.
Speaker 1: I'm going to try and not six bet this year, just.
Speaker 2: Having you just don't even four bet, you don't need
Speaker 2: to even fall bet that's tall and three bet.
Speaker 3: I'll just play like me.
Speaker 2: You should try and play like me, and I should
Speaker 2: try and play more like you. That could be Probably
Speaker 2: we find the middle grade I want to play, and
Speaker 2: that would be success.
Speaker 1: I don't want to play like you.
Speaker 3: You mean excellent.
Speaker 2: No, I'm having a good last four months on the
Speaker 2: time them anyway, let me finish Table three dedicated commentary
Speaker 2: team possibly, but basically we're going to have three streams
Speaker 2: on those days five six probably five six seven, they
Speaker 2: eight most likely just be two tables, so just be
Speaker 2: two feeds.
Speaker 3: But we're trying something different.
Speaker 2: See how it works for you guys at home, and
Speaker 2: then all comes together Main event, Final Table July fifteenth,
Speaker 2: playing for who knows ten million bucks?
Speaker 1: Ten Yeah, it's going to be more I am that's
Speaker 1: another thing. I mean, obviously we'll talk about this as
Speaker 1: we get deeper into the main event, but what do
Speaker 1: they do if it's you know, do they do one
Speaker 1: of those things like they did last year where they
Speaker 1: have to make first place more, which kind of skews
Speaker 1: all the other payouts, and then it's like there's.
Speaker 2: No say they made less. It was even before they
Speaker 2: made more, unskeed the paths. I'm in one twelve point
Speaker 2: one million, it's passing Jamie go. Lastly they dropped it
Speaker 2: to ten, and I think unless you get like eleven
Speaker 2: thousand plus, I think first, I think the final title
Speaker 2: paths should be exactly the same. That extra money, the
Speaker 2: extra nice.
Speaker 1: I mean, split spread it down, spreadly. I like, I like,
Speaker 1: just you know, first place ten million, and like you said,
Speaker 1: basically spread it down and then like when you get
Speaker 1: enough to go to like ten to five or eleven,
Speaker 1: then you do that as long as it doesn't screw
Speaker 1: up everything else. So crazy, but yeah, I'm generally with
Speaker 1: you on that. Now July second through sixteenth, that's when
Speaker 1: the main event runs. Every day that the main event
Speaker 1: is playing, we will be streaming. But once we get

Speaker 1: into some of these events that wrapped up today. First up,
Speaker 1: Michael Wang. He won the ten K pot limit Omaha Championship,
Speaker 1: his third w Spago bracelet. He won two five K
Speaker 1: nolan at hold Him events as his first two bracelets,
Speaker 1: so and I think each of those one was like
Speaker 1: slightly below five hundred k, one was a little bit
Speaker 1: above five hundred k, but very very big prize outs.
Speaker 1: His prize payouts is what I'm getting at here. And
Speaker 1: then on top of that, he wins one point four
Speaker 1: million in this PLO Championship. So Mike Wang, freaking crusher,
Speaker 1: absolute crusher, also had that win at the win earlier
Speaker 1: this summer, I mean the Kids on Fire. I mentioned
Speaker 1: him in the you know Who's heating up at the
Speaker 1: right time. I mean, Michael Wang is heating up at
Speaker 1: the right time. He topped eight hundred and seventy four
Speaker 1: entries in this PLO Championship event, Mike Zilker second place,
Speaker 1: nine hundred and thirty K, Kwan Zhao third place, six
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty K, Sean Raphael fourth place, Malade Marjie
Speaker 1: fifth place, Javier frankcor sixth place, Alex Foxen. We also
Speaker 1: mentioned him as somebody who's eating up. He finished in
Speaker 1: seventh place, and Simeon Snev finished in eighth place. Anything
Speaker 1: to say on the ten KPLO.
Speaker 2: Could love to say, firstly, Mike Wang now two hundredth
Speaker 2: on the all time money list, and now you love
Speaker 2: me talking about.
Speaker 1: Random ass stats to who looked at two hundredth this guy?
Speaker 1: You only you?
Speaker 3: He moved up? Who took Joey Westman? When it comes
Speaker 3: to PGT.
Speaker 1: Leadable really he over took Joey Wism. I would I
Speaker 1: would have thought Mike Wang was already ahead of Joey Weisman.
Speaker 2: We will Mike Wang is now eighth on the PGT leaderboard.
Speaker 2: He's got two cashes this season. Obviously this is a big, big,
Speaker 2: big one. He is a regular in the studio, especially
Speaker 2: the PLO events, so you know, I've got a PLO
Speaker 2: series coming up. We expect him to add to those points.
Speaker 2: Get that one more qualifying cash.
Speaker 1: I would all so along those lines, the fact that
Speaker 1: he just won one point four million, he won that
Speaker 1: five hundred or whatever it was from the win earlier
Speaker 1: this year, I feel like we're gonna see even more
Speaker 1: of Mike Way. Yeah, in the studio, I think so.
Speaker 1: Mike Zulka, he is on his second cash.
Speaker 2: He's now fifteenth on the PGT lead Award, nine hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty one points, Kwonzos sits twentieth, He's got eight
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy eight, Show Rafael twenty fifth. He's got
Speaker 2: a bunch of cashes both during a PLO series and
Speaker 2: here at the World Series and Alex Fox and we
Speaker 2: kind of mentioned finished seventh.
Speaker 3: He extended his lead on top.
Speaker 2: He's up to nineteen hundred and twenty nine points, fifteen
Speaker 2: cashes and four point five million in winnings.
Speaker 3: So that's kind of the PGT leaderboard shake up.
Speaker 2: We've always got a ten K stud right now, we've
Speaker 2: got a ten K eight game coming up, and obviously
Speaker 2: the big daddy of them all WSV main event.
Speaker 1: Aaron Coopan wins the twenty five hundred dollars Mixed Big Bet,
Speaker 1: his first gold bracelet. Two hundred and six thousand dollars
Speaker 1: was his prize. He topped a field of four hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty eight entries. Another name, another player removed from
Speaker 1: the Best without a Bracelet list, That is Aaron Coopan.
Speaker 1: He's a twenty five K fantasy player as well.
Speaker 3: On the website, I need to make run at them.
Speaker 1: What's that best without a bracelet? Yeah, it just rocks
Speaker 1: all best without a bracelet dot com. He had some
Speaker 1: previous deep runs and it's actually funny if you look
Speaker 1: at it. He had four previous deep runs, or his
Speaker 1: four previous best runs at the WSP were all seventh
Speaker 1: place finishes. Okay, that's kind of just weird. That's always
Speaker 1: he could never get past seventh place. He tops Marco
Speaker 1: Johnson in heads up play, Johnson taking home one hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty four thousand dollars. Johnson's fourth final table of
Speaker 1: the series. Oh Fiar Moore got third, Daniel Nigranu fourth place.
Speaker 1: His fifth final table of the series. He collected a
Speaker 1: little bit under sixty one thousand dollars. Nigranney was up.
Speaker 1: I believe on the summer now around one hundred and
Speaker 1: ten to one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars, which if
Speaker 1: you invested in him on poker Steak, you're feeling pretty good.
Speaker 1: That is. I don't think that's quite a free roll,
Speaker 1: because he of course has he's in the hundred k PLO,
Speaker 1: he's got the main event, so but it's getting close.
Speaker 2: He's gonna no, no, you're you're insane, You're absolutely out of
Speaker 2: your mind.
Speaker 1: I thought, I thought, I thought I saw people talking
Speaker 1: that if he would have won, it's like it's like
Speaker 1: almost year.
Speaker 3: Let's pretend.
Speaker 2: Let's pretend he bricks the main because that's very possible.
Speaker 2: He's busted on day one before. Okay, I'm gonna let's
Speaker 2: run through some events. He's definitely playing hunter k. Okay,
Speaker 2: we've gotta go. First of all, you gotta take thee
Speaker 2: hundred k off, right, Let's pretend he bricks that. So
Speaker 2: now he's at zero. Okay, let's see what's got coming up.
Speaker 2: And because this is why I said very he's close.
Speaker 2: But look ten ten k a game championship. Okay, this
Speaker 2: minus ten, we've got a fifty k high roll.
Speaker 3: Let's give him. Let's give him three bullets there, one sixty.
Speaker 1: I have more faith than dance five K.
Speaker 3: Turbo one sixty five.
Speaker 2: Who knows how many rebuys are the ten K six
Speaker 2: and a Championship one seventy five, the twenty five K
Speaker 2: horse high Roller with a rebuy.
Speaker 3: Now we're at two hundred and twenty.
Speaker 2: We've got a five K, we've got the one k
Speaker 2: that he plays at the very end, and he's in
Speaker 2: for it seventy nine bullets.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think you can be in for
Speaker 1: that many bullets.
Speaker 2: And that's if you try hard enough, you can be Literally,
Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's I think it's kind
Speaker 2: of you can he can be stuck a quarter million
Speaker 2: if he breaks everything.
Speaker 1: Quarter quarter million. A quarter million is is pretty close
Speaker 1: to break even given the fact that he fires so much,
Speaker 1: so hard all summer.
Speaker 3: It's just not start counting our little money right now.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not counting him. But first of all,
Speaker 1: it's it's already there's already a lot of money coming back.
Speaker 1: That is true, even if he breaks the rest of
Speaker 1: the series.
Speaker 3: That is true.
Speaker 2: But I want he needs to be in the plus.
Speaker 2: I want the plus so that I'm more in the
Speaker 2: plus and you're more in the plus.
Speaker 3: And everyone that invested.
Speaker 1: In more in the plus sure, I mean I don't disagree.
Speaker 1: Jeff Mad's in fifth place and Baris Khan Battil sixth place.
Speaker 1: That is the twenty five hundred dollars mixed Big Bat.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Aaron Aaron Coopen forgetting his first RESP
Speaker 1: gold bracelet Real Quick.
Speaker 2: Michael Johnson touched on Runner Out Finished has a third
Speaker 2: as well. So on social today that he's going home,
Speaker 2: see like, I don't know if he's going home for
Speaker 2: good or he's just gone home for two days to
Speaker 2: see the kids and the wife and coming back.
Speaker 3: So maybe see you Margo.
Speaker 2: Maybe number one podcasts friend fan bestie David odb Bacon
Speaker 2: can fill us in if he's just taking two days
Speaker 2: to refresh, gone back to well not Create, California or
Speaker 2: wherever it's from, and coming back for maybe day two
Speaker 2: entry in the main obviously some mixed games coming up.
Speaker 2: We got the toss, We got the twenty five k horse,
Speaker 2: but since some good form, even if it's in makes,
Speaker 2: we'ldn't surprised to see him jumping make a run in
Speaker 2: the main event, possibly.
Speaker 1: Over in the mini main event. We talked about the
Speaker 1: field size yesterday. Ten thousand, seven hundred and ninety four
Speaker 1: entries were tallied in this one, eight hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to first place, right thereabouts, eight hundred and
Speaker 1: forty three thousand dollars to first place eight fifty three,
Speaker 1: eight forty three and absolutely positively enormous first place payout
Speaker 1: for a one K buy in, especially when you could
Speaker 1: you factor in that you could fire max two bullets
Speaker 1: two K, So that's crazy. Five players left there guaranteed
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty six thousand dollars. Alexander Yen is
Speaker 1: leading the way, Martin Cabrell is second inches. How the

Speaker 2: He goes for another count. He takes a drink of
Speaker 2: his drink. He looks a small one again. He looks
Speaker 2: at this guy. The hand was seven minutes before he folded.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll at least at least the high rollers can't
Speaker 1: complain and say he only does it against them. He
Speaker 1: does it against everyone.
Speaker 2: To the mon the Cabrell family home game, and little
Speaker 2: Susie was sitting there, seven year old little Susie sitting
Speaker 2: at the end of the table.
Speaker 3: He's doing all the same stuff.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. I mean, it's an absolute spectacle.
Speaker 3: I feel so sorry for so.
Speaker 1: Alexander Yen leads, Martin Cabrell is second, Badim Lapuka is third,
Speaker 1: John i Ishak is fourth, and Bartolomew sweet Oba probably
Speaker 1: I probably butchered all the game. Other than Martin Cabrell
Speaker 1: and Alexander Yen. He's in fifth place. So that's who
Speaker 1: we got left again guaranteed two hundred forty six K
Speaker 1: they're gonna come back. They're gonna play it out on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: July second. Not like that Casino Royale. They are social.
Speaker 1: Guy's got a video of him busting this guy and

Speaker 2: To the stream we did today with Daniel and I
Speaker 2: just want to give a shout out. I know he
Speaker 2: doesn't listen, but for those at time that stream it
Speaker 2: was no graphics. But there's only one guy in the
Speaker 2: control room that was for duca Aiden. He was doing
Speaker 2: the switching. Yeah, he was checking the audio. He was
Speaker 2: giving us promos and you and me were doing commentary.
Speaker 2: There's a three man team really carried by Aiden to
Speaker 2: put on this impromptu You know it only went two
Speaker 2: hours because Daniel Bussard. But hey, we we the fans
Speaker 2: asked we did it. So I just want to shout
Speaker 2: out to produce it. And I know he doesn't listen.
Speaker 2: But if you guys know who that is and you
Speaker 2: see him, this guy walks around, the big beard around
Speaker 2: here in the horse and a Cubs hat or a
Speaker 2: Pocago hat, say hey, thank you, thank you for being
Speaker 2: the man of the people.
Speaker 1: If you guys think that we work hard and don't sleep.
Speaker 1: He puts us ye okay, Aiden puts us to sham.
Speaker 1: Soon you see Aiden shake his hand, Tell him he's
Speaker 1: an absolute god. Because the guy is also in this event.
Speaker 1: Luke Schwartz, freaking Jakie's on, baby, let's go day. We
Speaker 1: got we got Victor Blom, Alex Livingston. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is a good field, this freaking field.
Speaker 2: How many of these players do we need to pair
Speaker 2: with Phil for it to be worth Shut the hell.
Speaker 1: Up, seriously, just absolutely shut the hell up. Okay, We're
Speaker 1: just not doing absolutely not doing this again, four hundred
Speaker 1: and eleven thousand dollars. They're gonna come back on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure this is gonna finish on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Is one of those that takes. It's gonna be very close.
Speaker 1: They might wrap up day three with three four players
Speaker 1: off something like that. I mean, one structure is extremely
Speaker 1: good in these ten K championship events. To this one's
Speaker 1: a split pot game. So yeah, good luck with that
Speaker 1: one getting it done on day three. The one hundred
Speaker 1: k PLO high Roller kicked off today. They had eighty
Speaker 1: eight entries on day one. Of course, there is registration
Speaker 1: open until day two. We don't have a number to
Speaker 1: go off of from last year because this is a
Speaker 1: brand new event. They have never done a hundred k PLO,
Speaker 1: but they are doing it this year. I would say
Speaker 1: eighty eight is a very good number. I would say
Speaker 1: that it gets up over one hundred four day two
Speaker 1: and it looks like your boy, Arthur Morris rus friend
Speaker 1: of the pod, Arthur Morris is leading the way. Poker
Speaker 1: New says bags a massive stack. Shoutout massive. I mean
Speaker 1: this isn't big, very very very big. I mean that
Speaker 1: he's got thirty three percent more than the second place.
Speaker 1: It's pretty pretty freaking big. So Arthur Morris is out
Speaker 1: in front, Max Lemanski is second, and Daniel no g
Speaker 1: p l O is his jam and he is showing it.
Speaker 1: You got Sergio Gonzalez up there, Latarro Guera, James Chen,
Speaker 1: Richard Greiicosa, James shen Us, Elis Parson and Sam Soverll,
Speaker 1: John Hennigan, Bryce Yacky are all in. Alex Foxen looks
Speaker 1: like he's doing all. Seth Davies, Guy, Seth, we freaking
Speaker 1: need it, okay. We not only do we need Steven
Speaker 1: Song to win The Man Man, which we already talked about, Seth,
Speaker 1: we need you to win this. Okay, Well that would
Speaker 1: be crazy, though, Seth. If you win the biggest Noland,
Speaker 1: the biggest buy and nolanan Holden turned on the schedule
Speaker 1: and you in the biggest buy in PLO, that would
Speaker 1: be let's iconic.
Speaker 3: Let's not forget Lastia.
Speaker 2: He won the two hundred and fifty k Super High
Speaker 2: roller Ball in Cyprus, and he won the hundred K
Speaker 2: PLO Super High roller Ball in Vegas. He won the
Speaker 2: two two of those, so he could do six biggest
Speaker 2: buying events of the whole year, so he could be
Speaker 2: won last year and he's you know, won one of
Speaker 2: them this year, and yeah, we need it.
Speaker 1: Jason Kuhn has got chips. Chris Brewer's got chips for
Speaker 1: day two. Jeremy Osmas, you go on to Youka Mine
Speaker 1: and Nick Shulman, Ben Lambs uh So yeah. I mean
Speaker 1: I was gonna say Steven Childwick, but he busted out,
Speaker 1: So no, are there what's the re entry deal on this?
Speaker 3: Two re entries?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you thought of a little My thought
Speaker 1: of Hunter is wayleight. Because so let me just look
Speaker 1: at the people that are busted, and I'll name the
Speaker 1: ones that I think are just going to fire back
Speaker 1: in if they haven't fired yep, three already Steven Chidwick
Speaker 1: for sure, Lazlo Bustas, Yeah, for sure, baw Ding one
Speaker 1: hundred percent, Phil Sternheimer, Jared Blesnik, Jesse lonis your boy,
Speaker 1: Jean Peter Yackman, sure, Brian Brian rast ye Jo Samao,
Speaker 1: Sean Winter, Right, I mean they're all going to get
Speaker 1: that again. Yeah, yeah, right. I mean that's I mean,
Speaker 1: that's just a handful of them, so I mean there's
Speaker 1: a whole bunch more, of course.
Speaker 3: But Venni Viddy Modern dam we got these.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean ye, this thing's gonna have one hundred.
Speaker 2: And got my forty crew members here, Cale Burns and
Speaker 2: the gem A jez Jesse Lionis.
Speaker 1: I mean this might have one hundred and twenty five.
Speaker 2: I would I was gonna set the line of one
Speaker 2: ten because over we have sixty eight uniques in here,
Speaker 2: eighty nine, so that means some of Oready this Lee
Speaker 2: fire two or three potentially. I don't really know what
Speaker 2: combo of that, but yeah, I like, I like, you know,
Speaker 2: you said one hundred. Definitely over that. I think one
Speaker 2: ten is a good line. If you say one twenty, I'm.
Speaker 1: Not going to say one twenty two. That's my number.
Speaker 3: One, but it wouldn't surprise me if it just blues.
Speaker 1: Well. Also, like some of these guys can bust tomorrow
Speaker 1: and get back in.
Speaker 3: That is right, That is true.
Speaker 1: Ben Lamb's the third shorter stack. If he busts, he'll
Speaker 1: get back in. Yeah, you know, Nick Shorter, he'll bust,
Speaker 1: get back in. I'm saying if they bust, yeah, you
Speaker 1: know you only you can mine and is on the
Speaker 1: shorter side, Jeremy Osmon, I mean not not super short,
Speaker 1: but towards the bottom of the chip counts that advance
Speaker 1: Jeremie Owism is Isaac Haxton, you know, Jonas Cronwit or
Speaker 1: Jason Koonle. Like if all those guys bust and they
Speaker 1: haven't maxed out their re entries, they're just probably gonna
Speaker 1: pop right back in. So so yeah, I like, I
Speaker 1: like my number one, twenty two. On the other side
Speaker 1: of the spectrum, lower by and tier, we got the
Speaker 1: six hundred dollar poker news and deep stack that kicked
Speaker 1: off today end of chip counts, and it looks like
Speaker 1: prasad vermo a Polly I probably destroyed that name, but
Speaker 1: he's a chip leader one point five four million. We
Speaker 1: have a bracelet winner. King Juw is up there in chips.
Speaker 1: Kafir Ne, whom local player I play with all the time,
Speaker 1: always just seems to do well in these tournaments. He's
Speaker 1: in there too. Do we have any like other numbers
Speaker 1: on the field size for this.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they're already in the money. So I had
Speaker 2: and sixty seven play. I think that's one last year.
Speaker 2: I think it did crush last year. Then eight hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty one were in the money. They played deep
Speaker 2: into the money six hundred and something, I mean cash
Speaker 2: twelve hundred first three hundred k, the six hundred dollars buying.
Speaker 2: Three day event. That's pretty uh pretty event.
Speaker 3: It is a event.
Speaker 1: So I know this because David Baker asked me how
Speaker 1: long I think that it goes, because he was deciding
Speaker 1: on what to play, and I looked at the structure
Speaker 1: sheet and it says four day event. I remember last
Speaker 1: year went four days, but I couldn't remember if last
Speaker 1: year if it was a four day event for sure
Speaker 1: or for just rand four days okay, But this year
Speaker 1: I did look at the structure at least the structure
Speaker 1: sheets at four days.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so.
Speaker 1: It does plan on going four days there. I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to pull up last year's number. I mean it
Speaker 1: was it has to be more because first place last
Speaker 1: year was too eighty two. Yeah, and this year it's
Speaker 1: whatever seek players last year and it's five thousand and
Speaker 1: what five six hundred and sixty seven this year, So
Speaker 1: a very very nice uptick there from this event. So
Speaker 1: again another event that's up. Party on, baby, Let's go.
Speaker 1: Main Event's gonna have ten thousand, six and thirty three entries,
Speaker 1: don't forget it. Guys, don't forget it. This is very
Speaker 1: early in this event, so we'll we'll touch more on
Speaker 1: it as we go. Of course, they still got a
Speaker 1: few days to play down. We already talked a lot
Speaker 1: about the WS event that starts on Wednesday, July second.
Speaker 1: That is the day. You guys are listening to this.
Speaker 1: What else is happening doesn't matter, listen, I know it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, but let's just let's just be kind.
Speaker 3: Let's France Sanderson invitation start.
Speaker 1: It can't be called an invitation if you just win
Speaker 1: it one time, like it just doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: I named it the eight hundred dollars Summer Celebration two
Speaker 2: day ones.
Speaker 1: Was it called that?
Speaker 3: No name something completely different.
Speaker 2: But France Anderson is the clear previous champion event, so
Speaker 2: that's not tomorrow.
Speaker 3: You know, if you on of four ten thousand, maybe
Speaker 3: you can four to eight hundred.
Speaker 2: Good thing about this is you could win this, and
Speaker 2: you know you can filed table and have enough money
Speaker 2: to jump in on D two ABC or T two D.
Speaker 2: So that kicks off Wednesday, July second, along with the
Speaker 2: Big Daddy, the main event and those that just you know,
Speaker 2: want two cards not enough cards. Ten k eight game
Speaker 2: Mixed Championship. Remember who won that last year? Calvin Anderson
Speaker 2: won that three day event tough overlapping the main But
Speaker 2: you know, also that's.
Speaker 1: One of those ones where you can you can play that.
Speaker 1: I mean, well you can play that and then get
Speaker 1: day in day one D or you just registered day
Speaker 1: one of the day twos.
Speaker 2: Sure, I feel like this would actually maybe slightly better
Speaker 2: starting on day one B. So like a mixed game
Speaker 2: guy could play one a bag and then play this
Speaker 2: and then come back for day two. So I think
Speaker 2: that might be a better way. But either way should
Speaker 2: still be a good field. It was a great event
Speaker 2: last year. The last year was the first time they
Speaker 2: did it. So yeah, three events signing tomorrow. Obviously we
Speaker 2: didn't care about the monument.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's there's still a ton of events
Speaker 1: on the schedule.
Speaker 2: Main events on the event eighty one we got, I know,
Speaker 2: there's a live events. Yes, so it feels like there's
Speaker 2: so how long left?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 1: Cool, Well, when you guys are listening to this, it
Speaker 1: will be the day the WSP main event starts. Timpte
Speaker 1: said ten thousand and sixty six. Yep I said ten
Speaker 1: thousand six hundred and thirty three. That's entries all the
Speaker 1: WSMINA for this year. We'd love to hear from you guys.
Speaker 1: As we mentioned, so tweeted us, send it into podcasts
Speaker 1: at pokroad dot com, or just leave it in the
Speaker 1: comments on the YouTube video. We want to hear it.
Speaker 1: We want to see where you guys are at. I
Speaker 1: would guess that a lot of people are kind of
Speaker 1: in the same ballpark. But maybe there's some you know,
Speaker 1: big swings out there. Maybe if somebody thinks twelve thousand,
Speaker 1: maybe somebody thinks eight thousand, I don't know. And if
Speaker 1: you if you are so far off in one way
Speaker 1: or the other, I want to know the reason. I
Speaker 1: don't just want to hear number. I want another reason.
Speaker 1: You know, if you think it's gonna be eight thousand,
Speaker 1: what's the reason. If you think it's gonna be twelve thousand,
Speaker 1: five hundred, what's the reason? Okay, so give us the
Speaker 1: reason on top of it. Daily podcasts all the time,
Speaker 1: especially during the Smiths.
Speaker 3: Shut up.
