A friend of hers, Kirk Brown, sat 163 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:12.519 down there. So I'm just chatting learning. They were learning 164 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:13.600 about the games. 165 00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:16.079 Yeah, I'm just messing around. 166 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:16.560 Of course. 167 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:21.120 Either way, I still want to their success on leveraging 168 00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:23.000 off my name unaccepted. 169 00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:27.160 Well, this is why, speaking of Andrea, you need to 170 00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:28.120 trademark your name. 171 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:30.759 I think I need to spend the If you. 172 00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:32.960 Trademark your name, then then some of this stuff gets 173 00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.960 alldiated and you can take legal action, right, so Sean 174 00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:39.159 Deep exactly exactly, man, see this is why, Yeah, this 175 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:39.960 is this is why. 176 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:40.960 All right, I'll go to do. 177 00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:46.919 Its main event preview. Let's go baby. Last year record 178 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.720 setting field of ten thousand, one hundred and twelve entries 179 00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.440 that topped the record from a year prior when they 180 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:59.200 had ten thousand and forty three entries. So just absolutely 181 00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:02.919 incredible stuff. In twenty twenty three, it was Daniel Weinman 182 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:07.039 winning it all. Last year it was Jonathan Tomayo winning 183 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:13.039 it all. So the field has been massive, shout out 184 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.919 masks more than ten thousand entries. I'm starting to think 185 00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:23.080 ten thousand entries is the floor for sure for this year, 186 00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:26.200 if not going forward for the future. I just feel 187 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.440 like we've gotten over the hump. I like the fact 188 00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:32.120 that we've now gone back to back years not only 189 00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:35.639 over ten K, but an increase year over year. And 190 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.240 I think all signs this year are pointing to another 191 00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:45.279 incredible turnout for Poker's biggest, richest, most storied tournament. And 192 00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:47.799 there are some early indicators that I want to hit on, 193 00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:49.960 or at least the things that I think are indicators, 194 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:51.360 and you can tell me if you agree or not. 195 00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:54.320 And then of course you at home, you can you know, 196 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:57.639 yell into your phone, or you can drop it in 197 00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:02.120 the comments or whatever. Number one total WSP entries, according 198 00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:05.440 to poker fuse dot com and mainly Unwshar, who has 199 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:07.879 been tracking this all summer long, are up seven percent 200 00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:11.720 or right around seven percent, which is very good. And 201 00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:14.600 I think I mentioned this on the last episode, but 202 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:17.240 I was talking to Lance Bradley, you know, we kind 203 00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:20.480 of both agreed on the WSP plus app is a 204 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.679 great benefit to players, yea. It really helps things in 205 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.600 terms of efficiency. It allows for a few more payment options, 206 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.759 which you know, we both agreed that having credit cards, 207 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.720 having paypalace options that is just super easy and probably 208 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:38.960 allows some people to get in you know a little 209 00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:42.879 bit better. And also I think overall it's been a 210 00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:47.240 better experience with the app. Better experience equals greater loyalty. 211 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:50.080 Greater loyalty can equal more players, you know. So like 212 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.639 I think, if you you know, it's not a small 213 00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:54.799 it's not a big number, right, Sorry, it's not a 214 00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:56.799 big number, but it's still a small number, and everything 215 00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:58.960 adds up. Like you get a couple of players, maybe 216 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.039 they're just kind of turned off the experience, they leave, 217 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.080 they go home, whatever. But if you don't have that, 218 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:06.559 if you have raised your level of experience, then you know, 219 00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:08.639 everyone's just kind of like, Yeah, I'm gonna stick around, 220 00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:10.240 I'm gonna fire more, I'm gonna do all that sort 221 00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:13.240 of stuff. Also on Poke Refuse, I'm just gonna read 222 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:17.000 what they wrote as it pertains to the satellites again. 223 00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:19.639 This is from poke Refuse dot com. A news Aurora 224 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:23.720 had this in an article. Ggpoker, the exclusive satellite partner 225 00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:28.399 for Wissippi, once again ran its Road to Vegas satellite campaign, 226 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.720 which is now in its fifth year. They awarded exactly 227 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:34.720 nine hundred main event packages. They were eight hundred and 228 00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:38.080 sixty eight via ggpoker dot Com and then thirty two 229 00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:42.960 through GG poker Ontario. In addition, Club Gigi, which is 230 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:47.639 GG Poker's subscription and sweepstakes platform, qualified one hundred and 231 00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:50.679 one players and there were one hundred and fifty eight 232 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.679 direct buy ins through the ggpoker dot Com client. That 233 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.080 brings the potential total to eleven hundred and fifty nine 234 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:02.320 entries via ggpoker pannels. And then they write roughly on 235 00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:04.759 par with last year's figure of eleven hundred and twenty 236 00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:08.279 four I would, I'll say, up from last year's number 237 00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:10.799 of eleven hundred and twenty four, right, not of a ton, 238 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:13.399 but still up a little bit there. That's very good. 239 00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:17.200 Something that was pointed out by our friend Matt Clark. 240 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.639 The Win Summer Classic ten k event is up almost 241 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:23.320 one hundred entries year over year, up ninety seven entries, 242 00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:25.679 which is six point seven percent year over year. So 243 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:29.039 it is interesting also to see that that six point 244 00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:32.200 seven percent is close to the seven percent that the 245 00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:34.720 entries are up at the WSP total, right, So those 246 00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:37.519 numbers seem to be kind of kind of tracking. So 247 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.840 let's just say we get a seven percent increase on 248 00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:46.919 the WITP main event field size that's going to be 249 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:50.720 around seven hundred players, so you'll get us up to 250 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.720 ten thy eight hundred, ten eight hundred and fifty something 251 00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:54.000 like that. 252 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:54.320 Yeah. 253 00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:57.639 I kind of half joke the other day that eleven 254 00:12:57.679 --> 00:12:59.519 thousand is in play, and I might say it on 255 00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:01.559 this podcas, and I'm starting to lean that I'm just 256 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:04.919 gonna say it because I very much think eleven thousand 257 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:10.399 is in play, which is absolutely freaking ridiculous. Do you agree? 258 00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:11.000 Do you like? 259 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:12.879 Do you do you agree with some of those points? Okay, 260 00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:13.440 I think the win. 261 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:15.639 I think the win Summer Classic is a good indication 262 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:19.840 of potential uptick for the main event. Obviously, the satellite 263 00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:23.440 program we always discuss it and harp on the fact 264 00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:26.519 that the more you promote the satellite players and the 265 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:30.039 satellite numbers, the more it encourages people you know that 266 00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:32.519 weren't were on the fans to come and play, and 267 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:34.799 they're the ones you really need to get over the numbers, 268 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:37.720 Like you don't need to convince Daniel Nogrando to jump 269 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.720 in the main event, but you need to convince me, well, 270 00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:42.519 you know, players that are on the fans. You know, 271 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.320 it's a big chunk of money, et cetera. The WSP 272 00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:48.600 plus app and that performing great. I don't think changes 273 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:50.759 that much. But the ease of the credit card and 274 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.039 the PayPal I think is more than the WSP plus 275 00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:57.480 up in itself. I'm going to disagree a little bit 276 00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:00.720 with the numbers. The worst w has to be entries 277 00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:03.200 being up seven percent. And the reason I say that 278 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:07.679 is is that number little fake. And when I say that, 279 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:12.480 I mean we've added all these flights, So of course 280 00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:14.840 the numbers are going to go up because we're added 281 00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:17.000 I think a title of six flights. 282 00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:21.639 It's not necessarily Cosss was down right. 283 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.120 If we I'm talking, we've got months a stack, we've 284 00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:26.840 got Mini main event, we got mistery millions. I would 285 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:28.960 rather see and look, we may not have this number, 286 00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:31.399 No one may have this number. I forget this number. 287 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:36.440 I'd rather see a comparison of uniques pre event. 288 00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:39.559 Which shut out to a news. He made this exact 289 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:41.759 point in the article on poker fuse dot com talking 290 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:44.279 about the uniques, talking about how there's more flights in 291 00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:47.399 those events. My counter to that counter would be that 292 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:52.919 there's a chance you get more people cashing, more people 293 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:55.440 with some extra money, more people than parlaying into the 294 00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:58.320 main ogree like that. At least that's the hope, right. 295 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:00.759 And I'm not saying that the numbers being up is bad. 296 00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:02.360 I'm just saying that I don't want to read too 297 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:04.840 much into it. Yeah, because of the extra flights and 298 00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.559 you know, especially with some of the articles of saying, 299 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:09.399 you know, we're two weeks in the World Series, you're 300 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:11.600 on your numbers up. Well, when you move a big 301 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:14.039 event early, it changes, you know, like there's so much 302 00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:17.440 to do with schedule manipulation to affect that that you know, 303 00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:19.200 you we're up seven percent, but by the end of 304 00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:22.919 the summer we might be up only one percent. You know, 305 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:25.480 the back half may you know, may fall off. So 306 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.879 you just have to use that data with just you know, 307 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:31.279 just take a little bit of hesitation before being all 308 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:31.679 in on it. 309 00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:32.639 That's all I'm going to say. 310 00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:35.320 Yeah, I mean, listen, I don't disagree with that stuff. 311 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.799 I'm I'm just trying to, you know, kind of put 312 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:39.759 this in a positive light and say, these are the 313 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.799 factors that are pointing to the growth. I totally understand 314 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:46.519 the other side. I still do very much. Think ten 315 00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:49.559 thousand is the floor. I think it's going to get 316 00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:51.519 over ten thousand, yes, and then it's just how much 317 00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:54.320 it's going to get over. I was also talking to 318 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:57.919 Kevin Mathers, as I mentioned earlier today. He was saying 319 00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:00.679 that I think today there was a satellite that was 320 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:05.159 giving out seventy four seats. Yeah, which, yeah, which seems 321 00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:07.720 I think it was one of the landmarks which got it. 322 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:07.919 Guy. 323 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.240 I think is really good this early because usually they 324 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:13.840 get much bigger as you get closer to you day 325 00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:14.519 one D So. 326 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:17.279 The seats the two twenty five seas scrambles gave more 327 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:20.080 than twenty five seats, Yeah, today's just thirty two, I believe, 328 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:21.399 plus obviously some cash and stuf. 329 00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:22.519 So that's a great sign as well. 330 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.600 Yeah, so you're probably at let's call it fifteen hundred 331 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:29.960 right now, you know, so I think things are pretty good. 332 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.759 You could probably look and see how many already registered. 333 00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:35.639 Yeah, and I guess we could see how many there 334 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:38.000 were last year, right. 335 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:39.960 So one A, we have two hundred and eighty five 336 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:43.720 to stop. That will probably if previous years or any 337 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:46.960 indication we're probably going to be around, you know, anywhere 338 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:50.159 between eight hundred to one thousand players on Day one A. 339 00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.159 You know, Day one B. Obviously, this is a very 340 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:54.480 early one hundred and thirty six players. Day one C 341 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:58.200 seventy two players. Day one D already one hundred and 342 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:03.279 seventy players. And I don't know if Day two you 343 00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:06.599 can enter yet, but you actually can't, mean. 344 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:08.599 You should be able to ride. So last year on 345 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:12.559 one A they had nine to fifteen correct, Okay, so 346 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:18.960 I mean obviously, let's see, I don't remember exactly what 347 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:21.240 would day of the week this all fell on last year. 348 00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:24.920 Did it start on July fourth last year? 349 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:25.680 No? 350 00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:27.920 Or did it start on July third? And then one 351 00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:29.039 B was July fourth? 352 00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:32.160 I believe one If my duck is correct, I think 353 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:33.440 one B is July fourth. 354 00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:36.759 I'm just curious how because July fourth this year is Friday. 355 00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:41.519 That's one C. So I'm just curious if that affects anything. 356 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:43.960 That's that's the day I'm playing on plane. 357 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:47.160 But like, yeah, you know, I would always make July 358 00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:49.240 fourth one day if I was one D. 359 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:52.559 Yep, why is that you want to push people to 360 00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:53.119 other flights? 361 00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:54.720 Yeah, one day's always to be I'm going to read 362 00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:57.640 out the NY is always a biggest for sure. Okay, 363 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:01.240 nine to fifteen Day one A, eight thirty one, Day 364 00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:05.319 one B, twenty five hundred, Day one C, five thousand, 365 00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:07.160 Day one D. I want to move some of those 366 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:10.400 five thousand to the early flights. The other option you 367 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:14.359 can do is make you know, Day two D July fourth, 368 00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:17.519 so that really it gives you then, okay, three flights 369 00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:18.039 to choose from. 370 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:21.599 If you want to do that in all WSP. 371 00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:24.440 Years, then you're starting the main event like they would. 372 00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:24.559 Never do that. 373 00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:27.759 Yeah, I'm just saying, like, you know, for all the 374 00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:33.200 World Series going back to two thousand and eight, the 375 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:37.519 largest flight has always been the last flight. Yeah, okay, 376 00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:40.480 the smallest flight has had some changes. It's been one A, 377 00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:43.000 it's been one B. Last year was one B year 378 00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:46.200 before one A before that one B, So that kind 379 00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:50.039 of has flipped up around. It's majority, it's predominantly sorry, 380 00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:52.799 Day one A. So you take that data and you're like, Okay, 381 00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:55.279 I've got nine hundred players on one A and I 382 00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:57.240 got five thousand players on one D. What can we 383 00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:00.240 do to get some of those players there? Because we 384 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:03.000 think about the restarts, you know that Day two DE 385 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.279 restart is a big, a big field compared to you know, 386 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:10.359 the day to ABC or two AB restarts that we've done. 387 00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:13.680 Yeah, I mean, I guess that that makes some sense. Yeah, 388 00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:16.920 So I'm curious how things all shake out. Obviously, we're 389 00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:19.680 going to be paying attention to the number on Wednesday. 390 00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:23.119 I'll be interested to see one if it does surpass 391 00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:25.440 last year's nine to fifteen on one A, and then 392 00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:27.839 two I think it will, and then two if it 393 00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:30.119 gets up over one thousand, I think that would be. 394 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:32.799 I say it does pass. 395 00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:35.519 And the main reason I'm saying that is we have 396 00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:38.240 you know, we have the big thirty five hundred at 397 00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:42.440 area that's much earlier. Sorry, it was much earlier last year, 398 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:45.119 So that's now basically overlapping the main event. We have 399 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:47.480 a big event kicking off at MGM, We've got the 400 00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:49.680 tail end of the win event. So I would say 401 00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:52.720
