Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome back to a new episode of
Speaker 1: the Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donny Peters. His
Speaker 1: name is Tim Duckworth, and I do not care that
Speaker 1: this announcement is happening right now while we are trying
Speaker 1: to intro the pod because we have stuff to do.
Speaker 1: It is almost twelve thirty at night, and I cannot
Speaker 1: wait for this colossus bubble to burst any longer. Just
Speaker 1: absolutely outrageous how long this thing is taking. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know what's happening. It's not like there's a bazillion
Speaker 1: people in the field, which I thought there were going
Speaker 1: to be a ton of people in the field, but
Speaker 1: it was much much, much, much much smaller than I
Speaker 1: had thought. But it is what it is still a
Speaker 1: very big field. We'll touch on that later. Because this
Speaker 1: guy right here played in it. No spoilers, he just spoiled.
Speaker 1: We'll hit on how that went for him. We got
Speaker 1: blosh Ziriov aka scar Maker if you know that name.
Speaker 1: I'll get into that later. Tim probably has no idea
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, but we'll get on a later.
Speaker 1: He won the twenty five K six Max high Roller
Speaker 1: for more than one point seven million dollars Alosio Dorado,
Speaker 1: a Brazilian, won the fifteen hundred dollars Badogi tournament. We're
Speaker 1: going to talk about Tim playing the Colossus. Of course,
Speaker 1: we got the ten K stud in the money playing
Speaker 1: towards the final table. Don't don't know if they'll get there.
Speaker 1: I believe they're in the last level of the night.
Speaker 1: We will touch on that at least right now. Daniel Legrand,
Speaker 1: who is still in President of Poker Grow and Poker
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer Maries Candani is still in Gino Reim
Speaker 1: I believe is the chip leader right now. Tim can
Speaker 1: look that up, have it prepared when we get to that.
Speaker 1: Later on, we'll hit on the PLO double board bomb
Speaker 1: pot that is approaching the final table. And then as
Speaker 1: part of that event, we have an interview from DW.
Speaker 1: David Williams himself. He ran deep in the event, so
Speaker 1: we'll chat with good old DW. There's another twenty five
Speaker 1: k going on. It kicked off today, the eight max
Speaker 1: high Roller. We'll touch on that one, of course, and
Speaker 1: then you know, a few odds and ends here, a
Speaker 1: few different things that are going on around Horseshoe. I
Speaker 1: got a cool little nugget of a story that partly
Speaker 1: involves here at the w speed partly involves somewhere else,
Speaker 1: and then we'll get you guys out of here. Of course,

Speaker 1: First up blash Ziryov aka scar Maker, winning the twenty
Speaker 1: five K six Max one million, seven hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: four thousand dollars. He topped a field of three hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty six entries. He is a Slovenian player. He
Speaker 1: is an online MTT crusher and he topped Chris Mormon
Speaker 1: and heads up Play denying Mormon. What I think is
Speaker 1: his third gold bask so Mormon a second place there,
Speaker 1: but also a seven pigure scar. I think it was
Speaker 1: one point one something for second place. Now there was
Speaker 1: an interesting hand. Did you see it?
Speaker 2: You did not?
Speaker 1: Of course you didn't. Where they brought up a similar
Speaker 1: situation than what everyone saw at the EPPT Money Carlo
Speaker 1: final table, where that guy I forget his name against
Speaker 1: Jimmy Owakeel did the whole possible angle shoot thing. Maybe not.
Speaker 1: Then another player said he saw him do it earlier
Speaker 1: in the tournament to somebody else, so that was their
Speaker 1: whole thing. At this final table today, there was a
Speaker 1: raise and a three bet from Jared Bleaznik. Jared Bleznek
Speaker 1: had I think it was Queen Jack of diamonds and
Speaker 1: Jerryov had pocket kings. Now he went forward with a
Speaker 1: raise and he so he said one point three. Blesnik
Speaker 1: got already three bets to like one point five or
Speaker 1: maybe one point five something, so I can't say one
Speaker 1: point three right immediately, Landon Tice is like he raised
Speaker 1: over there, Dealers like yeah, it's one point five or whatever,
Speaker 1: and Ziyov was kind of like frozen. He's like, oh,
Speaker 1: so they ended up. It's of course it's a call.
Speaker 1: I think I think it was a call. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was a call, and then it comes King Jack something,
Speaker 1: you know whatever. So but it was it's just interesting
Speaker 1: because he had the chips in his hand to actually
Speaker 1: raise to he said afterwards, he said, I said one
Speaker 1: point three, but I meant three point three, like his
Speaker 1: brain just like had an issue.
Speaker 2: So English is not his first language also, so he
Speaker 2: speaks English.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think this one was an angle, you know,
Speaker 1: I just kind of think that he just did it mistakenly,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I've definitely once in a while,
Speaker 1: like my brain is thinking something, but something else will
Speaker 1: come out of my mouth for whatever stupid reason. The
Speaker 1: wires get crossed from here to here, and that's just
Speaker 1: how it is. And the fact that he had the
Speaker 1: chips in his hand, like I just I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't think there was anything malicious there going on,
Speaker 1: but you know, just want to point it out because
Speaker 1: it was, you know, somewhat interesting. And at the end,
Speaker 1: on the end of the river, Lesnix said something along
Speaker 1: the lines of like, that's the weirdest thing I've ever
Speaker 1: seen something like that. So that happened overall, jiriov I
Speaker 1: thought played super super solid. At the final table, he
Speaker 1: ends up getting heads up with Chris Mormon. He wins
Speaker 1: a huge flip ace Queen of Spades verse nine, so
Speaker 1: he hits an ace, he holds him there, and then
Speaker 1: he ultimately wins it with Ace King versus the Ace
Speaker 1: Jack of Chris Mormon. Mormon cashing for one point one
Speaker 1: two nine million. You had Jared Blesnik finishing in third
Speaker 1: mister Sports Cards himself. We only had a a very
Speaker 1: brief Sports Cards segment. He did bring a box. I
Speaker 1: think it was tops. He kind of took he kind
Speaker 1: of took something out. I don't really know what's going on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he used the time extension things again, but it wasn't
Speaker 1: like that. It wasn't as elaborate as he did during
Speaker 1: Super High Rollable PLO and all that sort of stuff, right,
Speaker 1: but it was still of course, the patent did Jared
Speaker 1: Blesnik moment Land and Tice got fourth five hundred and
Speaker 1: thirteen thousand dollars for him. Paulias Vitikunis got fifth for
Speaker 1: three and fifty nine thousand, and then aram Aganian sixth
Speaker 1: for two hundred and fifty seven k. So let's get
Speaker 1: into this scar Maker.
Speaker 2: Okay, So.
Speaker 1: Lash Yiryov it's kind of an online legend at this point,
Speaker 1: plays under the name or famously it was known that
Speaker 1: he played under the name scar Maker. And then it's
Speaker 1: there's a three for the ean Maker. He won a
Speaker 1: five dollars satellite to play in remember that massive shout
Speaker 1: out to the word massive Party poker, fifty three hundred
Speaker 1: dollars millions online tournament that had a record breaking twenty
Speaker 1: million dollar guarantee. Yeah, so he wins a five dollars
Speaker 1: satellite to get into that. He goes on to get
Speaker 1: third for one point three six four million dollars. So
Speaker 1: like that was like the whole launch genesis of Xiriov
Speaker 1: got it. That event had four three hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: seven entries. The two people above him, I think chopped
Speaker 1: it up for like, I don't know, one or two
Speaker 1: million each maybe, but he turns five dollars into one
Speaker 1: point three six four million dollars. That was December twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1: He was, you know, he played some semi pro soccer
Speaker 1: when he was younger. He started playing poker for real
Speaker 1: money on Poker Stars when he was eighteen, but he
Speaker 1: also played on free online poker sites, which he said,
Speaker 1: which is crazy because you guys can do that. You
Speaker 1: just go to play poker dot com and maybe you're
Speaker 1: the next last jeri Off. Yeah you did you ever
Speaker 1: think about that? That's crazy.
Speaker 2: He's come make with a fall.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So he he hits, he hits his score, and
Speaker 1: he's he's motivated to start getting better. You know, he
Speaker 1: wants to play as good as he can. He wants
Speaker 1: to learn as much as possible. He wants to eventually
Speaker 1: turn pro. So you know, I think I think some
Speaker 1: sometimes when people have a big score like that, when
Speaker 1: they get in for cheap and they just kind of
Speaker 1: blow up and they're still kind of early in their career.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like this crossroads type of moment where
Speaker 1: you can go down one path where it's like I
Speaker 1: just want a boatload of money, like let's go partying,
Speaker 1: firing bigger buy ins, you know, thinking that you are
Speaker 1: the best, all this sort of stuff, and the next thing,
Speaker 1: you know, you got no money left, yep. Or you
Speaker 1: can go the other way where it's like, okay, you know,
Speaker 1: I prove to myself I can do this to some degree,
Speaker 1: I want to prove myself that I can do it,
Speaker 1: you know, full time as a professional, move up in stakes,
Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff, and that second road is
Speaker 1: I think what Ziryov took. And you know he's had
Speaker 1: a lot of success since now his live results that
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a ton of them, you know, just
Speaker 1: because I think he focuses more on playing the online MTTs.
Speaker 1: But since he did have that online score, you know,
Speaker 1: he has a fourth, well this is an online event,
Speaker 1: but fourth in the WPT Online World Championship, which is
Speaker 1: also on Party Poker, for five hundred and fifty two K.
Speaker 1: Two live events, both at EPT Paris in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: he got a second in the FPS main event for
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixteen K. He won a twenty two
Speaker 1: hundred euro deep stack four one hundred and fifty three K.
Speaker 1: Then at the most recent WSP Paradise he got second
Speaker 1: in the fifty three hundred dollars deep stack for two
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five K. And then also with this win,
Speaker 1: he's now first on Slovenia's all time moneyless Who did
Speaker 1: he pass? I'm asking you because I know you know
Speaker 1: the name. Now I don't know if you know that
Speaker 1: this person is Slovenian, but you'll you'll case Castle. So
Speaker 1: Casey Castle's second, give me a hint. PGT is the hint.
Speaker 2: That's why Slovenian PGT nate another hint.
Speaker 1: PGT Championship should give it away. Smoo Jovic, that's he's
Speaker 1: gentlemen rock Ostisa.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, that's way, that's like five years ago. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: but I was thinking, like last.
Speaker 1: Year he was the former number one on Slovenia's all
Speaker 1: time money list, but now last Jerry Off took him over.
Speaker 1: This was a PGT event, So what do we got
Speaker 1: happening in terms of the leader board.
Speaker 2: Well, the winner, well I just had it and now
Speaker 2: I lost it. He moves up to twelve, seven hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty points. Good lord Chris Mormon. He picked up
Speaker 2: seven hundred. He's sixteenth place, both of them first cash
Speaker 2: of the season. Biggest mover though Landon Tice, third cash
Speaker 2: of the season. He's now into twenty third place with
Speaker 2: five hundred and eight points. He's obviously a regular on
Speaker 2: the PGT, so that is a good launching pad for
Speaker 2: the rest of the season for him. And feel like,
Speaker 2: you know, we got seventy more events he should be
Speaker 2: able to pick up another four hundred points and lock
Speaker 2: in his spot in the PGT Million Dollar Championship. But yeah,
Speaker 2: that was pretty much the biggest change relative to this
Speaker 2: twenty five K six mix.
Speaker 1: In the fifteen hundred dollars Badogie Tournament, Alosio Derado took
Speaker 1: it down a little bit of a redemption run for him.
Speaker 1: So he won this fifteen hundred dollars badougie for one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty AK, the largest ever badogie tournament ever
Speaker 1: held in poker history, five hundred and thirty four entries.
Speaker 1: He's a Brazilian. He had a very very fun, boisterous rail.
Speaker 1: They celebrated loudly with him when he won an an
Speaker 1: enormous Brazilian flag. We talked about it quickly last night
Speaker 1: on the episode, but he had that that flag wrapped
Speaker 1: around him like a freaking quilt in the in the
Speaker 1: winners photo. And I say that it's a bit of
Speaker 1: a redemption story because a couple of years ago, and
Speaker 1: we know about this because we had Sean deeb on
Speaker 1: our fantasy team that year. Uh fifte do game Deep
Speaker 1: won it. Dorado finished second, YEP. And I also think
Speaker 1: that it's a little bit of a win for the
Speaker 1: mixed games crowd, just kind of based on what he
Speaker 1: told Poker News afterward. You know, part of his quote was,
Speaker 1: I think that the atmosphere with nolamit hold them the
Speaker 1: bots that play. It's not nice playing with ten bots
Speaker 1: who don't speak, don't smile, don't do anything. It's not
Speaker 1: inviting to play for new players and old players. I
Speaker 1: really like the mixed games, especially the draw games. So
Speaker 1: I just say that that's a win for the mixed
Speaker 1: games crowd because you know, they I feel like that's
Speaker 1: a sentiment shared by a lot of mixed game players,
Speaker 1: and now they have someone who won a mixed game
Speaker 1: bracelet who is saying that exact thing, you know, basically
Speaker 1: championed their statement or one of their sentiments to the
Speaker 1: world in this this winter story. So that's why I
Speaker 1: think that it's a it's a win for them. So
Speaker 1: but you know, shout out to Derado for taking it down.
Speaker 1: He beat Dominic Sarly in a second place. Sarly is
Speaker 1: a bracelet winner, was going for his second Basically, he
Speaker 1: won the twenty five hundred dollars Mixed Triple draw Back
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, I believe he beat Jerry Wong
Speaker 1: in that one. Well, he cashed in this tournament for
Speaker 1: ninety two K. You had James Newberry in third for
Speaker 1: sixty one K, Jonathan Glen Dinning in fourth for forty
Speaker 1: one K, David Margolis twenty eight K for fifth place,
Speaker 1: and Anthony Arvidson twenty thousand, five hundred and four to
Speaker 1: sixth place. All right, we buried the lead a little bit,
Speaker 1: and now we got to get to Timothy Duckworth playing
Speaker 1: the Colossus and listen, if you guys put it together.
Speaker 1: He's obviously not playing anymore, but it's it's a little
Speaker 1: bit more like salt in the wound. They're announcing the
Speaker 1: bubble as we're recording this stuff, and you basically bubbled, Yeah,
Speaker 1: how'd it go? It was great me about it. You
Speaker 1: were late. First of all. You were like, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go play like out of nowhere.
Speaker 2: I just randomly was like I had the itch, so
Speaker 2: I scratched it. Jumped in a little bit before dinner break,
Speaker 2: sitting next to a podcast list Eric McGall it took
Speaker 2: a pot of me with a straight So I'm not
Speaker 2: happy at you, Eric, but he's a very nice guy.
Speaker 2: I ran up a stack before dinner, went my fifty
Speaker 2: k all the way up to one sixty something. Not
Speaker 2: much happened after dinner really, to be honest, it was
Speaker 2: quite boring. Trended down, got a double trend.
Speaker 1: To open those sevens. Then you wouldn't be sitting here,
Speaker 1: that's for sure.
Speaker 2: Sure. And then I got I got shot on the
Speaker 2: you know, we're like two hundred off the money, which
Speaker 2: sounds like a lot, but in the Colossus it's really
Speaker 2: like ninety minutes orders. Yeah, so I just never had
Speaker 2: a spot, never had a hand, a lot of nine
Speaker 2: three off suits and stuff, and got my last. We
Speaker 2: were about, I don't know, less than thirty from the money.
Speaker 2: I was like madle position and all in with queens,
Speaker 2: got called by King Douce and lost. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: it's whatever, it's just whatever. But me bro it was.
Speaker 2: It was actually kind of fun to play a WSP event.
Speaker 1: I know, you know you made the stream.
Speaker 2: I yes, I did say that that was actually a
Speaker 2: pretty funny, uh little segment there. But to be honest,
Speaker 2: it was fun to just get in there and get
Speaker 2: amongst it and then get close and you know, shuffle
Speaker 2: some chips and look at some cards, and.
Speaker 1: I'm dying to get in there.
Speaker 2: A little bit of jealous, but yeah, I missed out
Speaker 2: on I don't know what the main cashrows a thousand
Speaker 2: dollars something should.
Speaker 1: Be one k.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll hopefully get them again. We've got two more
Speaker 2: chances probably this world series least see what happens.
Speaker 1: So let's let's I mean, let's talk about the colossus,
Speaker 1: you know, not to sit here and talk about the
Speaker 1: event that you just busted about or in. But smaller
Speaker 1: field than I thought, you know, Yeah, coming into today,
Speaker 1: they were at just over ten thousand. It was like
Speaker 1: ten thousand, three hundred and last year was nineteen thousand,
Speaker 1: three hundred and something. So I said on the last episode,
Speaker 1: you know, I think, yeah, they're you know, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be wall the wall in here. They're gonna get eight
Speaker 1: nine thousand people like they're going to be close to
Speaker 1: last year, but they're three thousand short of last year.
Speaker 1: And I mean maybe you can can you quickly like
Speaker 1: run the prize school numbers? Not really, because I mean
Speaker 1: it's complicated, because okay, just go to the structure sheet,
Speaker 1: und here's the thing, and just go to the.
Speaker 2: Structure because it doesn't really matter. I've got it here.
Speaker 2: You gotta just do the meds. No, but there's sometimes
Speaker 2: they're taking the staffee, and sometimes they're not.
Speaker 1: Don't taking the staff fee, sometimes they're not. I just
Speaker 1: want to know the prize pool. I want to know.
Speaker 2: What's the total entrance. Some of the total entrance.
Speaker 1: Sixteen thousand, three hundred and.
Speaker 2: One, seven point one eight million.
Speaker 1: How much did they take out? Sixteen percent? Oh my gosh, lord,
Speaker 1: sixteen percent. I me at least I didn't play ten handed,
Speaker 1: but I know, yeah, so four twenty So would you
Speaker 1: say it was seven point one eight million? No, it's less.
Speaker 1: She got sixteen percent of five hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: Well, that's what I'm saying. The buying is four hundred
Speaker 2: and forty and fifty cents.
Speaker 1: The line's for twenty.
Speaker 2: Say, that's what I'm saying. It literally says that he
Speaker 2: had four forty and fifty cents plus fifty nine to fifty.
Speaker 1: That's why it's like, that's how they make it says
Speaker 1: on the structure set. No, I know nine percent plus
Speaker 1: five point one percent.
Speaker 2: All the prize pools on the thing. Incorrect. But if
Speaker 2: you do four twenty, it is six point eight four
Speaker 2: six million.
Speaker 1: That's actually seventeen percent, not sixteen percent. Six point eight
Speaker 1: four six So eighty five dollars four to fifteen it
Speaker 1: four fifteen okay, so six point seven six millions that ye,
Speaker 1: And what was the prize pool last year? That's what
Speaker 1: I want to know.
Speaker 2: Look that up.
Speaker 1: You can probably just find that on hand, the MOB
Speaker 1: just to twenty twenty four whatever on hand the mob
Speaker 1: so six point seven to six for I just want
Speaker 1: to say it like five point nine yeah, so more
Speaker 1: more this year, but less entrance, Yeah, but less entries.
Speaker 1: Now forgive us for doing all that silly math or
Speaker 1: you know, producer riches, you know, ripping his hair out. Like,
Speaker 1: I don't think going from four hundred dollars to fives
Speaker 1: really changes anything. I mean, do you think somebody's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I can't play it now it's five point at all?
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I mean, how many people are
Speaker 1: really doing that?
Speaker 2: Three thousand people? Probably?
Speaker 1: No, that's not so. I'm just curious, why why is
Speaker 1: it so? Why is it so much lower? Like I
Speaker 1: don't I'm just kind of confused. Well, especially because they
Speaker 1: did line up the starting flight perfectly where thelast starting
Speaker 1: flavors on Saturday. Like, you know, I'm just I guess
Speaker 1: I'm kind of surprised.
Speaker 2: I think that one hundred dollars matters if you're firing everybody,
Speaker 2: really yeah for something?
Speaker 1: Is it unlimited? Is it unlimited? Reinteresting thing? So I
Speaker 1: think it's whatever.
Speaker 2: But like you're forgetting about, you know, John Smith from Idaho,
Speaker 2: et cetera.
Speaker 1: Like John Smith is the twenty five year heads of
Speaker 1: a legend.
Speaker 2: Not that John Smith. Okay, John Dollar from Idaho or
Speaker 2: from Wisconsin that's coming in. Maybe they only have one
Speaker 2: thousand dollars to spend, or they only have, you know,
Speaker 2: say sixteen hundred or two thousands. They have to allocated
Speaker 2: a little differently. Now. You know, maybe between you and me,
Speaker 2: thee hundred dollars isn't that much, but to the people
Speaker 2: coming here to play, maybe they only have Okay, I've
Speaker 2: got a thousand dollars to spend. That's two bullets in
Speaker 2: this but last year they will find another two hundred
Speaker 2: and have three bullets. You know. So I think that
Speaker 2: that one hundred dollars does matter, and that's where the
Speaker 2: three thousand entrants, you know, goes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I just I don't know. I just
Speaker 1: didn't think that it would it would get be that
Speaker 1: far off. I mean the other factor too, I thought
Speaker 1: for sure, like it would get if you have if
Speaker 1: we would have bet, like if there was a bet
Speaker 1: out there where I could have bet over eighteen thousands.
Speaker 1: Oh look they made the money.
Speaker 2: Cool, fuck them home debt bags.
Speaker 1: You know I would have I would have thought that
Speaker 1: over eighteen thousand is just.
Speaker 2: The other thing you're not rolling out is sorry you
Speaker 2: are rolling out? Is what event number was the CLASSUS
Speaker 2: this yere twenty or something?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's early ish.
Speaker 2: Yeah, last year was event seventy. You know that that
Speaker 2: has some factors when people want to come closer to
Speaker 2: the main event and stay for say two weeks rather
Speaker 2: than coming June eighth, and then are they going to
Speaker 2: stay the whole time or are they going to go
Speaker 2: home come back? So that those little things matter.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm always curious why they make such big changes
Speaker 1: with like like what's the reason for doing the coloss is?
Speaker 1: Like well, at the had a complete opposite side of
Speaker 1: the schedule, Like what changed, Like there's a few events
Speaker 1: that are like that. Like it's like, oh, when we
Speaker 1: referenced a couple of them, already when we're talking about
Speaker 1: the numbers, we're like, well, it's kind of weird to
Speaker 1: look at it because last year was like Event eighty.
Speaker 1: This year it's Event you know thirteen or whatever it
Speaker 1: might be.
Speaker 2: Well, these big field ones that they obviously have added
Speaker 2: flights to most of them, yep, and that changes the
Speaker 2: calendar a little bit where they want to definitely have
Speaker 2: the biggest flight the one day, the final flight on
Speaker 2: the Saturday, the day two on the Sunday. So they
Speaker 2: have to when they're I'm assuming building this schedule, put
Speaker 2: those events out first along with the main event, and
Speaker 2: then they start slutting in the other no lemen holdems
Speaker 2: in the high rollers, and then you know, the badougies,
Speaker 2: the mixed games can be kind of put anywhere else.
Speaker 2: But I think it's the fact that these you know
Speaker 2: we started, you know, we have the Gladiators of Poker,
Speaker 2: the Monster Stack, the Millionaire Maker, all these multi flight,
Speaker 2: big field events taking up more days. So they have
Speaker 2: to just schedule slightly differently here and there. And you know,
Speaker 2: class has moved up just just by chance. I think.
Speaker 1: So, even though it is down right around three thousand
Speaker 1: entries from last year, it is still the twelfth largest
Speaker 1: live poker tournament of all time, which is very good,
Speaker 1: very good. I mean, it's still an absolutely crazy field.
Speaker 1: Like like we mentioned, the price school is going to
Speaker 1: be larger this year, which I think is cool. You know,
Speaker 1: I do like having this this price point at five hundred.
Speaker 1: I think it works. It separates it a little bit
Speaker 1: more from the three hundred dollars Gladiators tournament. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know so, I like that. You know, so I'm not
Speaker 1: going to complain about it being five hundred dollars. I
Speaker 1: still I know you're saying that one hundred dollars matters
Speaker 1: to some people. I'm just having a hard time reconciling
Speaker 1: it in my brain. You could very well be rich,
Speaker 1: you could very well be right. I am. No, I'm
Speaker 1: far from rich. Like I'm one of the people who
Speaker 1: likes to play this sort of stuff, and yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna really go too crazy or one hundred
Speaker 1: dollars like I always feel like just people will almost
Speaker 1: bend over backwards to try and play w s AP
Speaker 1: events because they're events.
Speaker 2: That's the thing. They may yes, they may have just
Speaker 2: the one bullet in them all the two bullets and
Speaker 2: not have that extra one that.
Speaker 1: I think it gets it. I think it probably becomes
Speaker 1: a thing when you get to the two thousand, Like
Speaker 1: if you're like, Okay, I'm gonna bring two thousand. Last
Speaker 1: year that was five bullets. This year that's four, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: and then that maybe that can just add up. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Fifteen hundred and sixteen hundreds is kind of the same thing,
Speaker 2: you know, fifteen hundred three that's basically four last years.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm just I'm just I'm just surprised that
Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be a lot. But
Speaker 1: you know, the majority of tournaments are have been up
Speaker 1: this year, you know, so so yeah, and I don't
Speaker 1: I don't really think there's and it's kind of all
Speaker 1: over the place, right. It's not like we can look
Speaker 1: at the schedule and say like, oh, all the plos
Speaker 1: are up, but all the Nolan hold thems are down,
Speaker 1: because no, there's been plenty of Nolan hold them that
Speaker 1: have been up, yeah, you know. Or it's like, oh
Speaker 1: the mixed games are down. No, that's not true either,
Speaker 1: because a lot of the mixed games have been up.
Speaker 1: So it's kind of there's not really like a pattern
Speaker 1: that's forming just yet, at least one that that I
Speaker 1: can tell. So so yeah, but you know, still, it is
Speaker 1: what it is. I hope you had fun out there, sir.
Speaker 1: I was also you know what I'm gonna tell you.
Speaker 1: So this I was my second table where end up busting.
Speaker 1: Everyone's very nice chatting.
Speaker 2: One guy I was talking to me, I think I
Speaker 2: shoved on in and he folded his big one and
Speaker 2: he goes, I have to say, that is a top
Speaker 2: five mustache that I've seen this top five. I said,
Speaker 2: top five this World series. I mean, can you find
Speaker 2: me the other four? And then he's like, oh, yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: maybe it's a bit better than I did any of.
Speaker 1: Who was he counting Stephen Chidwick the free shaving his
Speaker 1: he might he might have.
Speaker 2: And then and then I said to him and said,
Speaker 2: do any of them have a really bad mullet? I
Speaker 2: took my hat off and shook my hand and got, oh,
Speaker 2: that's actually pretty good.
Speaker 1: Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable. Well, I have this on the table
Speaker 1: right now for those watching on video oats overnight a
Speaker 1: new sponsor of Poker Goo and everything that we're doing
Speaker 1: here at the World Series of Poker and I'm a
Speaker 1: fan of overnight oats myself, and I wanted to try this,
Speaker 1: so we got some products. So I'm going to try it.
Speaker 2: Thank you for getting me one too. By the way,
Speaker 2: well I did.
Speaker 1: You're the one that's complaining that you can't have nuts
Speaker 1: because you're allergic to them. That's not my fault. You
Speaker 1: need to blame God. Okay, it's not my fault. So
Speaker 1: you could go get regular milk. Tim is mad because
Speaker 1: I brought almond milk here and he's annoyed that he
Speaker 1: didn't have regular milk. And it says on the packages
Speaker 1: for all of these.
Speaker 2: I would have gone against the grain.
Speaker 1: It says on the look look oats overnight. It says,
Speaker 1: do not use water. Do not use water. Can't use
Speaker 1: water on these? So you use milk? And what you do?
Speaker 1: They have all these different flavors. By the way, what
Speaker 1: is that flavor?
Speaker 2: This one is strawberries and cream. That sounds pretty good.
Speaker 1: So the flavor the flavor that I have is chocolate,
Speaker 1: peanut butter banana, which I have not I have I
Speaker 1: have not tried. Okay, I have not taken a single
Speaker 1: sip of it. I have never had oats overnight before.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna try right now. And this brand was
Speaker 1: started by high six s poker player Brian Tate. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try it right now. This is live.
Speaker 2: Let's split it out. Chocolate peanut butter banana. Interesting, that's
Speaker 2: pretty incredible good. Yeah, I mean I'm a I'm a.
Speaker 1: Chocolate peanut butter type and I'm definitely a banana guy.
Speaker 1: So like you picked the right first of all, I've
Speaker 1: never really seen these three flavors together. Usually it's like
Speaker 1: chocolate peanut butter or it's peanut butter banana, which I
Speaker 1: love all of that. Right, this is this is I'm in.
Speaker 1: I'm so in.
Speaker 2: Maybe you can bring me some skim milk or something
Speaker 2: tomorrow and I can try one. You can bring your own.
Speaker 2: Really have milk at home. We're not a milk family.
Speaker 1: We don't have milk either. I bought milk for this.
Speaker 1: Don't drink a lot of milk. Glazed blueberry donut, mocha
Speaker 1: dream Oh yes, I mean there's just endless flavors.
Speaker 2: It's one hundred millions of caffeine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they so they have. That's they have. When I
Speaker 1: was looking at the flavors, they have like various the
Speaker 1: categories like, they have one that's like desserts, then they
Speaker 1: have one that's I think it was like fruity. Then
Speaker 1: they have one that's like, uh, I might have said caffeinated,
Speaker 1: and has has this one the Mocha dream. It has
Speaker 1: a macha one. There was one more. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: be trying these all summer, but we should try on
Speaker 1: like every episode. I'm a big fan.
Speaker 2: Let's get some skim milk.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, they're they're great again.
Speaker 2: They were.
Speaker 1: They were started by a high sex s poker player,
Speaker 1: Brian Tate. He used to play all the big stuff
Speaker 1: at the w CP. You to see him in like
Speaker 1: the you know, the all the ten k championship events,
Speaker 1: the fifty k PBC. He would play high stakes cash
Speaker 1: at Bollaggio in Bobby's room and then he went on.
Speaker 1: As the story goes, he's a fan. He's a fan
Speaker 1: of making overnight oats and he's like, Okay, how can
Speaker 1: I basically mass produce this? And he did, and he's
Speaker 1: got oats overnight and it's very simple. You just take
Speaker 1: these packs, you open it up, you put the milk in,
Speaker 1: or you use the shaker bottle and you put it
Speaker 1: in the fridge, so you can do that the night before.
Speaker 2: You wake up.
Speaker 1: In the morning, you get it, you grab, you go.
Speaker 1: It's great.
Speaker 2: You know, So how long was that refrigerated for? How
Speaker 2: long did you have that set up?
Speaker 1: Ten hours?
Speaker 2: Okay, you feel like that's the right amount.
Speaker 1: I mean, I have no idea if taste good, feels
Speaker 1: like it's guy good.
Speaker 2: I guess, so long do you leave it the softer?
Speaker 2: I guess right, I'm assuming.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I mean it's it's it's packed with protein
Speaker 1: for what it is, twenty grams of protein. Doesn't have
Speaker 1: a lot of sugars, which I was surprised by that.
Speaker 1: That was my biggest concern going in is that And
Speaker 1: this is like everyone's gonna hate the fact that we've
Speaker 1: been talking about this for ten minutes, but I don't
Speaker 1: even care. I actually really like this. No, but it
Speaker 1: doesn't have that many sugars, Like this has nine grams
Speaker 1: of sugars, which is not like I was expecting. Like,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you pick up oatmeal and it's like
Speaker 1: the favorite stuff and it's got like, you know, eighty
Speaker 1: five thousand grams of sugars. You're like, yeah, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to have that. So I think this is good.
Speaker 1: I think it's good for poker players. You can grab
Speaker 1: stuff very quickly. Speaking of land and Tice, who finished
Speaker 1: at the final table earlier, he saw us with this today.
Speaker 1: He's like, I love that stuff? Can I have some?
Speaker 1: I said, well, no, this is for me, but is
Speaker 1: you cannot? You cannot have any, so Oats Overnight check
Speaker 1: it out oats overnight dot com. And if you do
Speaker 1: check it out, let us know if you like it
Speaker 1: or not, you know, just sending an email into podcast
Speaker 1: at pokergot dot com. Let us know if you like it.
Speaker 1: I think it'll be you know, it's good, you know,
Speaker 1: and I definitely think it's it's if you're looking to
Speaker 1: like make a lifestyle change and get a little bit healthier,
Speaker 1: which I know a lot of poker playing people are.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I think this stuff is perfect.
Speaker 2: It really is.
Speaker 1: So that's that Oats over Night we got the ten
Speaker 1: k stud where's that act? Can you can you help me?
Speaker 2: It's over there.
Speaker 1: I know where it is physically. I want to know
Speaker 1: where it is in the in the world of in
Speaker 1: the world of updates, Yeah, the world of updates.
Speaker 2: All right, let me pull up WSP plus.
Speaker 1: I see Tom McCormick just busted.
Speaker 2: That's not good. Well, they're down eleven, so they're right
Speaker 2: approaching the ft bubble. Chip leader David Gina Riem second
Speaker 2: in chips, Dan Hi Miller third in chips, last year's
Speaker 2: RAZ champion George Alexander and our boy Maries Candani shortest
Speaker 2: stack with four point three big bets. Daniel Grano second,
Speaker 2: shortest stack with ten big bets. So they got some
Speaker 2: work to do to make that final table. Adam Friedman
Speaker 2: still in nicoguante ceiling, John, David Rodgers, Silling called Volpi,
Speaker 2: sill in uh and Michael Mattis out is Silling fourth
Speaker 2: and chips. This could be a really, really really good
Speaker 2: final table.
Speaker 1: No, it could be. I was over there. They were
Speaker 1: having a lot of fun. The field is stacked. You know,
Speaker 1: we're we're rooting for Morio of course, trying to get
Speaker 1: his first bracelet. The Poker Hall of Famer President of
Speaker 1: PokerGO China Rhema is freaking steamrolling over there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, China would be a good one.
Speaker 1: He got he got kind of short on the bubble,
Speaker 1: but he's obviously spun it back up. Adam Friedman is
Speaker 1: obviously a great story, just with how good he is,
Speaker 1: how proficient he is at the Mixed Games. Dan Hie
Speaker 1: Miller already won a bracelet this summer so he could
Speaker 1: join Benny Glasser as a two time bracelet winner. Mike
Speaker 1: Madison is probably the best story. Mike would Mike madissell cry.
Speaker 1: I was thinking that when I was over there a
Speaker 1: little while ago. I was like, what would he cry?
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I think I agree with you,
Speaker 1: held one hundred percent. Think I don't think Chino would cry,
Speaker 1: but I think I think Chino would. Crafty won the
Speaker 1: main event. I don't think it would Krayty won the
Speaker 1: Seven Cards to Championship just.
Speaker 2: Me, I don't know. I think we can see Chinok,
Speaker 2: all right, matis definitely though.
Speaker 1: No mass off for sure, So yeah, this is gonna
Speaker 1: be good. There was some debate over there whether or
Speaker 1: not they go or questions whether or not they go
Speaker 1: to the final table at nine. Already handed, they go
Speaker 1: at nine, which seems insane for stud but it is
Speaker 1: what it is. So yeah, well we'll keep checking in
Speaker 1: on this one as they go. The plan is to
Speaker 1: finish it on Sunday. Who knows if that's going to happen.
Speaker 1: Sometimes these limits limit championship events do get stretched. But
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll check on it as we go. Pl
Speaker 1: O double board, bomb pot. They are approaching the final
Speaker 1: table in that one. I think they bagged up. Actually
Speaker 1: they bagged up. Okay, they did bag up. I'm in
Speaker 1: their left but they're still approaching the final table. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thirteen players left.
Speaker 2: Chip leader Xiang Yanglu. That's the one that got drafted
Speaker 2: in the twenty five K Fantasy. He won two racests
Speaker 2: last year. Ian Motaka's former player of the Year.
Speaker 1: Did he win this event last year beating your boy
Speaker 1: Kangaroo crew y, Yes, but one of a different round, remember,
Speaker 1: yeah it was.
Speaker 2: It was hold a minute and every bomb pot every
Speaker 2: like eight hands, eight hands. Ian Otaka's STILLI in and
Speaker 2: Danny Wong sitting down there in eleventh of thirteen players,
Speaker 2: uh twenty ninety K for first there coming back in
Speaker 2: about eleven hours Sunday afternoon to play down to the winner.
Speaker 1: Deep run was had by David Williams. He finished in
Speaker 1: twenty fourth place for ninety seven hundred dollars. Maybe I
Speaker 1: spoiled it, Maybe I didn't in terms of his run
Speaker 1: because I interviewed him on the dinner break. We had
Speaker 1: a chat with him. It was like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: four or five minutes. He gave some really good stuff.
Speaker 1: So let's just hear from David Williams right now. It's
Speaker 1: not all about this event. We talked a lot about
Speaker 1: about a lot of other stuff as well. So here's
Speaker 1: good old DW.
Speaker 3: Double board bomb Pot. It's been fun. First time ever
Speaker 3: playing a double board bomb pot. Played the tournament last year,
Speaker 3: but I think I busted on like a PLO hand
Speaker 3: before we even got to the double board humpop part.
Speaker 3: I've never actually played. I don't play a lot of cash.
Speaker 3: That's where people usually I think play it. So yeah,
Speaker 3: firsthand of ever playing it really was hand one of
Speaker 3: this tournament. Ninety nine percent of this field had no
Speaker 3: f and clue.
Speaker 2: You know. Like I said, I'd never played it before, but.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sharp at games, and this is almost kind
Speaker 3: of like a little logic puzzle and deduction, like figuring
Speaker 3: out what's possible. And I played a lot of PLO,
Speaker 3: which is there, but there's some weird stuff too going on,
Speaker 3: because like your outs could be on the other board
Speaker 3: and then you're just trying not to get scooped. So
Speaker 3: there's a lot of things where like you have to
Speaker 3: fold the nuts, which the average person probably doesn't understand
Speaker 3: right away and maybe eventually they'll see it. Where I
Speaker 3: picked up pretty quickly, you know, Like there was a
Speaker 3: hand where I had like a top set on the
Speaker 3: bottom it was like ten to seven four two spades,
Speaker 3: and I had a set of tens, and then the
Speaker 3: top board was like King Queen Ace or not even something,
Speaker 3: it was just something totally unrelated to my hand, and
Speaker 3: then the bottom would also had a spade draw, and
Speaker 3: like three people went kind of crazy in front of me.
Speaker 3: So I just mucked the tents because like, I know
Speaker 3: that I have no way to get any side of
Speaker 3: one part of the board. Was it It wasn't three people,
Speaker 3: because I think three people gives you a can overlay
Speaker 3: and then like you can win sidepots. I think it
Speaker 3: was just two one guy bet and one guy potted,
Speaker 3: And it's like I don't want to end up in
Speaker 3: a spot where I have nothing for half and it's
Speaker 3: like my equity is, yeah, if top set here, but
Speaker 3: if one guy's got a wrap, one guy's got a
Speaker 3: flush straw, then I'm still not even that good, and
Speaker 3: I'm getting free rolled on one half, So like I
Speaker 3: laid it down maybe a little conservative, but it felt
Speaker 3: pretty obvious to me. But there's times where I'd just
Speaker 3: full with like the nut straight on one board with
Speaker 3: nothing on the other board, two to come, and it's
Speaker 3: like super vulnerable. So I think things like that you
Speaker 3: just have to kind of get by with your poker
Speaker 3: gamesmanship knowledge, whereas I think a lot of players in
Speaker 3: this tournament don't get it. I mean, I've seen some
Speaker 3: egregious shit going on and some chips getting given away.
Speaker 3: I was the benefactor of a lot of it. So
Speaker 3: it's a fun tournament. Me and Charter have been talking
Speaker 3: about it. Should it be a bracelet event? Even if
Speaker 3: I were to win it, I think I'm gonna kind
Speaker 3: of say no, it's.
Speaker 2: A little goofy.
Speaker 3: It's yes, there's people who can make egregious mistakes early,
Speaker 3: but then once you get to this part where those
Speaker 3: people are gone, it's kind of like a nut making contest,
Speaker 3: like everybody's just kind of sometimes you just have a
Speaker 3: hand where you can't fold, but then any other guy
Speaker 3: just has it nutted and there's nothing you can do
Speaker 3: about it. Which could happen in other games, but in
Speaker 3: this game, it's kind of just strange because I don't know,
Speaker 3: it's hard to say, but it just doesn't feel like
Speaker 3: a legitimate poker game. The Night Shift, I think I
Speaker 3: just love Ali and nick Man, just like those two
Speaker 3: riffing together, making fun of just each other, different scenarios,
Speaker 3: the rawness of a LEI sometimes saying something totally out
Speaker 3: of line, and mixed reactions.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's good.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: I've been in the booth with both those guys, so
Speaker 3: I know how much funny can be, and I miss that.
Speaker 3: I don't get to do that much because I'm playing.
Speaker 3: You know, I was asked if I want to do
Speaker 3: it again, and I'm like, well, I don't know. I
Speaker 3: can't schedule it because I want to play. But getting
Speaker 3: to kind of listen to those two, it feels like
Speaker 3: you're sitting right there next to them. You know, I'm
Speaker 3: at home, I'll have it on and you know my
Speaker 3: wife at home, fiance wife when I married yet, but
Speaker 3: she hates it because during the main event, when I'm
Speaker 3: not in there, I'll have it on like in my headphones,
Speaker 3: and she'll be like trying to sleep next to me
Speaker 3: and I'm just cracking up, and she's like, what are
Speaker 3: you listening to? So I've played her some clips before
Speaker 3: and she knows Ali and she's met Nick, so she's like, yeah, man.
Speaker 2: She's like, I'm trying to go to bed.
Speaker 3: Can you go watch that and listen to that another
Speaker 3: room because I just can't stop laughing, like when I'm
Speaker 3: laying there. So no, it's a good time.
Speaker 2: I miss it, you know.
Speaker 3: I'm excited to listen to it, although maybe one year
Speaker 3: I'll be busy and won't get to listen to it
Speaker 3: because I'll actually still be deep in the main event.
Speaker 3: That would be nice, you know, if you can still
Speaker 3: catch it. It's a pop up that's gone on next
Speaker 3: Sunday on the sixteenth. It's at Breza called Pasta Ramen.
Speaker 3: It's a spot they have I think it's in Jersey.
Speaker 3: The restaurant they will pop up here. I went there
Speaker 3: the other day. It was very good. Everything was excellent.
Speaker 3: It was a cool vibe, not like one of the
Speaker 3: best restaurants I've ever been to, but it was definitely
Speaker 3: worth checking out, especially because it's leaving and the food
Speaker 3: is really good and the vibe was nice and the
Speaker 3: price wasn't too bad, but that's probably one I would
Speaker 3: say off the top of my head. Lately, I'm going
Speaker 3: to Bizarre Meat for my birthday or Bizarre Steak. We
Speaker 3: have meat, Bizarre Meat. We have a reservation there tomorrow night,
Speaker 3: looking forward to that. I haven't been there in years,
Speaker 3: and it's one of the better steakhouses in the city.
Speaker 3: But it's just big at the Sahara, I forget about
Speaker 3: it a lot.
Speaker 2: So that place is excellent. Check it out.
Speaker 1: Very expensive though, but we're all right. That was David Williams.
Speaker 1: It was interesting to hear that he mentioned how him
Speaker 1: and Christian Harder were talking about how they kind of
Speaker 1: feel like this shouldn't be a bracelet event.
Speaker 2: Interesting.
Speaker 1: I mean I kind of had those thoughts. And the
Speaker 1: reason why I kind of had those thoughts one talking
Speaker 1: to other players who I think shared a similar sentiment,
Speaker 1: and two, I think that just the way that this
Speaker 1: game plays is you kind of just have to have it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like everyone at the table goes to well, they go
Speaker 1: to two flops, and like you know, talking to a
Speaker 1: lot of the players, if you just don't connect, there's
Speaker 1: like not much bluffing. Now, I don't necessarily know if
Speaker 1: that's right or wrong. This isn't my expertise in terms
Speaker 1: of poker, but I also think that I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: lean into what the players were telling me. They're just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you just basically fold a lot if you're not connecting.
Speaker 2: I think, I mean, I played it. I mean, if
Speaker 2: you're from Texas, you've probably played a lot of double
Speaker 2: ward bumpots. Obviously out time at Champions Club and you know,
Speaker 2: beating Austin playing at the Lodge, I played a decent
Speaker 2: amount of double ward umpots. And you definitely have to
Speaker 2: connect with both boards, you know. So I've seen a
Speaker 2: lot of pitches and hand histories from this event this
Speaker 2: last few days, and a lot of people just getting
Speaker 2: it in with you know, second nuts on one board
Speaker 2: and nothing on the top and then just busting, you know,
Speaker 2: or getting corded and stuff. So you definitely have to
Speaker 2: connect with both. You have to try and you know,
Speaker 2: kind of like when you play mixed games and you're
Speaker 2: playing like a split part, you know, start high low
Speaker 2: or like Produci or BODESI, you gotta try and gain
Speaker 2: those extra bests from other players. You know, if you've
Speaker 2: got a lock on one hand, how do we get
Speaker 2: more bets, more chips in the middle where you can
Speaker 2: you know, obviously, if you even think of one board
Speaker 2: winning at least half that bet that goes in. So
Speaker 2: but yeah, I mean, if you're not Texas Base, you
Speaker 2: probably have not played a lot of this. I think
Speaker 2: a lot of people probably think it's fun. I had
Speaker 2: a few text messages today from Bryce Yucky telling me
Speaker 2: we need to add this to the PLO series.
Speaker 1: Yeah he was, he was in the stud Yeah, talking
Speaker 1: to Maury and to Daniel about adding this in the
Speaker 1: in what in what series?
Speaker 2: The series?
Speaker 1: Yeah, he said. He said that this should be the
Speaker 1: final event, that final five K and Daniel said I
Speaker 1: would like that. I would play.
Speaker 2: Okay, So now this is where I used the real
Speaker 2: data and show these guys whose boss I said. We
Speaker 2: tried a variation of this. It was a dealer's choice
Speaker 2: where you had the double world bomb pots in there.
Speaker 2: It got twenty one entrance.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they all said the dealers they didn't really like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fine. The two closing events of the last
Speaker 2: two series October last year March this year was a
Speaker 2: five K bounty. It had eighty four entrants and seventy
Speaker 2: nine entrants. So I said, how do you think we
Speaker 2: could convince Aria to go from I guaranteed eighty entrant
Speaker 2: field to potentially twenty one players and lose all that money. No,
Speaker 2: they're never going to do it. So then he says,
Speaker 2: the bomb pot twenty here has fifteen hundred entrance. I go, buddy,
Speaker 2: the World Series is not the studio in October.
Speaker 1: It's a different The World Series is unlike anything else.
Speaker 2: You can't compare that, right, And then I was like,
Speaker 2: if you want to switch, I could present it to Aria.
Speaker 2: But why would they turn down a profitable event. It's like,
Speaker 2: why can't we do an event, do them both, or
Speaker 2: do them both on the same day? Like you know,
Speaker 2: He's like at an extra twenty at the end? Okay,
Speaker 2: well yeah, I like we always try and do what's
Speaker 2: right by the players. We listen to them, We create
Speaker 2: structures that they want, and when it doesn't work, we
Speaker 2: make adjustments. We're always willing to try things once we've
Speaker 2: tried a variation of this. I just don't don't think
Speaker 2: we can tell Ari to say, hey, you know eighty
Speaker 2: players and that rake you don't need any more. We're
Speaker 2: going to do something different and hope it gets something
Speaker 2: like that. So, uh, yeah, I think it would be
Speaker 2: a fun event. I just don't think it belongs in
Speaker 2: the PGTPLO series as it currently is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's interesting, don't I don't mind having
Speaker 1: it on the WSIT schedule. I just thought that was interesting.
Speaker 1: What you know, DW said that he was talking about
Speaker 1: with Christian Harder and then what I've heard from some
Speaker 1: of the other players. But I also think that I
Speaker 1: think that the WSP should always have kind of one
Speaker 1: gimmick event on its schedule, and then that event can
Speaker 1: always kind of change, Like I don't I don't know
Speaker 1: if you need to have PLO double Board Bomb Pot
Speaker 1: every single year on the schedule. Now, I'll counter my
Speaker 1: own statement there by saying that when you get fifteen
Speaker 1: hundred entries, that's pretty damn good, right, So so I'm
Speaker 1: not going to fault them for putting the back on
Speaker 1: the schedule because it drew so well.
Speaker 2: So I don't think that should take it off. It's
Speaker 2: a good event, it's a fun event. You could probably
Speaker 2: figure out a nice spot to put it. I'd maybe
Speaker 2: trying to find it a bit closer to one of
Speaker 2: the bigger low buying fifteen hundred plows. So it's like,
Speaker 2: you know, you can kind of do that, play that,
Speaker 2: play that, like you know, you can come in from
Speaker 2: Texas where PLO's very big, play you know, two big
Speaker 2: PLO field size events with you know, within a week.
Speaker 2: I think that would be a good idea. But yeah,
Speaker 2: don't get ri of it. I think it's a fun event.
Speaker 2: And you can tell by looking at these hand histories
Speaker 2: not everyone's very good at this game. So people want
Speaker 2: people are the people that play uh double board mompot
Speaker 2: so just double board plong in general, just slicking their
Speaker 2: lips reading these hand history saying these uh photos of
Speaker 2: all of these busts out hands and people getting in
Speaker 2: with just the flush draw on one board and a
Speaker 2: sign on another.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I mean two hundred and ninety thousand
Speaker 1: dollars up top a very very good turnout for this one. It,
Speaker 1: I mean, it should conclude on Sunday and then Tim
Speaker 1: and I will be talking about the winner. Twenty five
Speaker 1: K eight max high Roller. We went from heads up
Speaker 1: two players per table to six max six players per
Speaker 1: table to eight max eight players per table. Do we
Speaker 1: have a ten ten handed twenty come up next now
Speaker 1: twenty five k eight max high roll or underway. Three
Speaker 1: hundred entries on day one. It's one of those ones
Speaker 1: where they bagged up really early. They play eight levels
Speaker 1: on day one, they bag up early. There's registration into
Speaker 1: day two. At the beginning. Last year's field had three
Speaker 1: hundred and eighteen entries, so I would expect them to
Speaker 1: blow by that one. Probably get what three fifty something
Speaker 1: like that, three forty three fifty possibly more. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: got Bulgarias Fajharreedin mustafov Id probably horribly butchered that name
Speaker 1: leading the way. You got Cherish Andrews in second place.
Speaker 1: David Peters's third, Joey Wiseman is fourth, Mitchell Hyman is fifth,
Speaker 1: Alex Fox and sixth. I mean, it's just there's a
Speaker 1: ton of big old names in that one. These announcements
Speaker 1: are absolutely killing me. The plan is, so this one's
Speaker 1: our first day two stream of the summer. The plan
Speaker 1: is to kick off the stream a little bit later
Speaker 1: in the day after registration closes. What is the plan exactly?
Speaker 1: I know you put a message in a group chat
Speaker 1: about work stuff. Yeah, we were going to start first break.
Speaker 2: We've shifted it to the second break of the day,
Speaker 2: so the starting the fifth level of play, there will
Speaker 2: be a cancer drinking the oats. I wish I had
Speaker 2: something to have now, I don't want to die. It's
Speaker 2: double it's double death. It's almond milk and it's peanut.
Speaker 2: But you should actually put this over there, because maybe
Speaker 2: and die, you know, and then you're gonna have to
Speaker 2: find a new host. Maybe you put it there on purpose.
Speaker 2: So yes, it's four about four thirty pm, pending how
Speaker 2: long late registration takes, we're going to turn the cameras
Speaker 2: on Poker Go Day two coverage, get six levels of play.
Speaker 2: The streams are going to start to seven pm, though
Speaker 2: the reason is we're going now in a break, we're
Speaker 2: going to fast forward through that, right, so we're going
Speaker 2: to do the breaks breaks start a bit later with
Speaker 2: the actual stream that you guys can watch at home
Speaker 2: seven pm local time here Pacific time. Six levels of play.
Speaker 2: We're going to do our best to give you the
Speaker 2: best feature tables. We do have to rotate that every
Speaker 2: two hours. Obviously, we have to look at breaking order,
Speaker 2: we've got to look at re draws, et cetera. Trying
Speaker 2: to get some big names.
Speaker 1: Well along those lines. I was already thinking, might even
Speaker 1: not even have a chance to get Daniel? Have you
Speaker 1: stuck in the stud?
Speaker 2: He is so yeah, you know, like that's you know,
Speaker 2: I was just kind of thinking, maybe he plays this
Speaker 2: is the multi table date. They're in the same room.
Speaker 1: Could you imagine I really want to see someone multi
Speaker 1: table and the scene.
Speaker 2: It hasn't been known, It hasn't been like done that
Speaker 2: like recently. I feel like that last was doing. I
Speaker 2: don't think he would do it, but I think he
Speaker 2: would do it if he knew it was literally like table.
Speaker 2: Like look if he said, hey, I want to play
Speaker 2: the twenty five K, but I'm still in the stud.
Speaker 2: Can we instead of putting the stud up on the
Speaker 2: main stage we're not filming it. Can we put it
Speaker 2: closer to the twenty five K? I'm sure they'll say, yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Mean we should put the stud should be close anyway,
Speaker 1: because we're gonna want to check in right Sure, What
Speaker 1: if Daniel wins another brass, If Mike Minut Mattison wins
Speaker 1: another bracelet, you know you got Dan Hie Miller going
Speaker 1: for number two this summer. You got Maury Oh.
Speaker 2: For his first. Get Daniel out of here?
Speaker 1: I left it till the end because I really want
Speaker 1: to emphasize it. Okay, yes, so you know you got
Speaker 1: to have it close enough where we can definitely do
Speaker 1: those check ins at least that would be my guest,
Speaker 1: because you know, I love that we like to do
Speaker 1: our check ins with the various stuff that is going on.
Speaker 2: But that is the plan. Six levels of play. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we'll see them back up chips. Maybe they'll be at
Speaker 2: the final table, maybe they won't be, and then they'll
Speaker 2: come back on day three. Final table will be up
Speaker 2: on the main stage on Poker Go as well.
Speaker 1: All right, cool, I'm in for that one. It's a
Speaker 1: big tournament. That's the one that Nick Shulman won last year,
Speaker 1: So we'll obviously see how it all goes. Fifty big
Speaker 1: o is Are they in the money yet? I'm trying
Speaker 1: to see if they're in the money yet. They were
Speaker 1: close you started, they were close this pause on day one,
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirteen. I think the Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: they are in the money.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: Well, what it says on the screen where it says
Speaker 1: on the screen, Oh, it doesn't say on the screen.
Speaker 2: Which just says this doesn't say in the money places,
Speaker 2: But it says next price. I'm assuming them in the money.
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure.
Speaker 2: Stephen Hubbard PGT PLO series winner is currently chip leader
Speaker 2: as well as this might not be the MI guys
Speaker 2: thought it was Michael Rodriguez, but it's not. It's Michael Rodgers.
Speaker 2: Justin le berdo top ten in chips.
Speaker 1: I mean he's having it.
Speaker 2: Fourteenth in chips.
Speaker 1: Yeah, having a good year. Andrew like he's doing well.
Speaker 2: So that's stuff. Two hundred and ninety seven thousand for
Speaker 2: first Wow.
Speaker 1: Look up the look up the colossus.
Speaker 2: Chip counts my fight, all the all the fights, because
Speaker 2: I'm not sure they've merged your flight.
Speaker 1: What term did we just talk about, by the way,
Speaker 1: the big old, the big big O. By the way,
Speaker 1: fourteen and ninety nine entries this year, last year fifteen
Speaker 1: fifty five, so slightly down down by fifty six entries.
Speaker 1: And that's really nothing at all.
Speaker 2: There is no chip counts. They're being removed.
Speaker 1: They're done. Oh they're done. Yeah, this is weird.
Speaker 2: Like you go to the thing they had three people
Speaker 2: knocked down the bubble, but they kept playing. They lost
Speaker 2: like thirty more people. Don't they just make the money
Speaker 2: in bag, bro, that's a little weird. I think I'm
Speaker 2: the scene it.
Speaker 1: They could lose thirty people on that final hand.
Speaker 2: They didn't, though, because you look, why didn't they chopped,
Speaker 2: because they chopped that place. They chopped the meme cash
Speaker 2: for three hundred eight, and then everyone else about that
Speaker 2: go to thousands. I don't know. I didn't get it.
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't.
Speaker 1: You can't explain it to me many I can't.
Speaker 2: Explain it to me.
Speaker 1: But I was gonna. I was gonna say I thought
Speaker 1: I saw Jeremy Becker head over a million.
Speaker 2: When I left, I walked past him. I bumped him
Speaker 2: on the child, I said, I went and did one
Speaker 2: of these ones. I'm out. He did not have a
Speaker 2: million at that time. I might have had four hundred
Speaker 2: k of his Look up his Instagram story. You could
Speaker 2: just text him, you could. I could just call him.
Speaker 1: I don't know my phone it's over there recording the podcast,
Speaker 1: so I don't.
Speaker 2: He's not the he doesn't post that much though.
Speaker 1: Hey he always puts the bag stuff up. Always nothing
Speaker 1: yet those stories, okay, I mean we kind of shipped
Speaker 1: on him yesterday. I was going to give him some love.
Speaker 1: If you put a million in the bag this time,
Speaker 1: but you know, not yet. Kicking off on a Sunday,
Speaker 1: we have the six hundred dollars no limit hold Them
Speaker 1: Slash Plow Deep Stack. We have a twenty five hundred
Speaker 1: dollars buying no limit hold them event, and then we
Speaker 1: have the Nick Shulman Invitational ten thousand dollars buying no
Speaker 1: limit deuced to seven single draw. So that's gonna be fun.
Speaker 1: That's actually interesting. I feel like you might get a
Speaker 1: lot of people that don't get to play that one.
Speaker 1: Like I'm thinking like Nick Shulman if he's in the
Speaker 1: twenty five K, Yeah, Jeremy Osmas if he's in the
Speaker 1: twenty five K. I would even say people like I
Speaker 1: think Alex Foxen likes to play that one. I think
Speaker 1: Chance Cornith likes to play that one. Yeah, Darren Elias,
Speaker 1: you know so I yeah, definitely. You know, it seems
Speaker 1: like you might get you know, obviously there's there's extended
Speaker 1: late registration in that one, but it does seem like
Speaker 1: you might get some some skips there, right, But you know,
Speaker 1: it is what, it is, not a big deal. I
Speaker 1: do want to also mention another story that I saw.
Speaker 2: Just before you jump in go ahead, last year's no
Speaker 2: limit ten K No Limits overlapped the clusters as well,
Speaker 2: but late in June overlapped the twenty five hundred no
Speaker 2: limit hold them and it did not overlap was the
Speaker 2: event you're saying, the twenty five k it came after
Speaker 2: the fifty k PPC. So yeah, definitely those mixed guys
Speaker 2: that are coming in, you know, like that Matthew Ashton's,
Speaker 2: you know, the Elioscions maybe like Ray deca Ghani that
Speaker 2: are coming into play. On last year's schedule, the fifty
Speaker 2: KPPC into the ten K no limit into the ten
Speaker 2: k start High Low, all those kind of mixed game events.
Speaker 2: Very different schedule this year. So it's up early, and
Speaker 2: you're right, maybe we do see potential, you know, twenty
Speaker 2: percent decline in the field size.
Speaker 1: And I know twenty percent might sound like a lot,
Speaker 1: but when the tournament only gets what one.
Speaker 2: Hundred twenty maybe something? Yeah, yeah, yeah, So.
Speaker 1: I mean I don't think it'll be twenty percent. I
Speaker 1: think you'll get like four people that don't play. But
Speaker 1: you know, just just wanted to point that out. Funny
Speaker 1: little thing. I came to Twitter to find something to
Speaker 1: share and the first thing I see is the clip
Speaker 1: that we shared of Jared Blesnick busting out and from
Speaker 1: the twenty five K six Max and it's it's a
Speaker 1: hand where Mormon called a huge three bed with six
Speaker 1: or five suited in position against Blessnick. And on the
Speaker 1: broadcast you could hear Mormon basically saying that like he
Speaker 1: like wanted to take a shot to take out Blessnik
Speaker 1: because he felt Blessnick was annoying. And then so in
Speaker 1: response to this clip, Jan's Arens says, did Mormon not
Speaker 1: realize the pot was re raised? He called the huge
Speaker 1: two point five prev love was six high. His opponent
Speaker 1: clearly had a good hand here. Chris Mormon replies, I
Speaker 1: knew it was going to be a GG poker runout
Speaker 1: Cyan ar Blez. I mean, the Lord, this is incredible stuff,
Speaker 1: this stuff out there. So let me go find the
Speaker 1: actual thing that I came here to talk about. So
Speaker 1: we talked about yesterday. Dusty Smith. Oh, yes, finishing second
Speaker 1: to Scott Bowman in the two K Nolanan hold him
Speaker 1: here at the series second out of sixteen hundred and
Speaker 1: ninety two entries for two hundred and ninety thousand dollars
Speaker 1: for Dusty Smith. She then goes over to the win
Speaker 1: registers for their three K Ladies High Roller and wins
Speaker 1: the damn thing for sixty one K. And I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure if I have the schedule correct, she played Bolman
Speaker 1: because they backed up for the extra day heads up,
Speaker 1: so she came here play Bowlman heads up. She lost
Speaker 1: that one, went to win, bagged the chip lead after
Speaker 1: day one fourteen players, I mean had a big chip lead.
Speaker 1: Think she had either like right around double second place,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe more than double second place. And then she
Speaker 1: goes on to win the thing. I mean talk about
Speaker 1: a sick two day heater for Dusty Spike. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's crazy, So good on her. She crushed it
Speaker 1: that when Ladies Hyroller had a seventy six entries in it,
Speaker 1: it was a three K buying. So all told these
Speaker 1: two days, Dusty taken home right around three hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars total. So I thought that that was cool.
Speaker 1: And then on Sunday, I know, we talked about how
Speaker 1: we have the streaming for the ws be coming up
Speaker 1: later in the day. I do want to mention that
Speaker 1: I'm going to be on commentary at the Venetian starting
Speaker 1: at noon or three pm on the East coast, so
Speaker 1: you can get two final tables in one day, or sorry,
Speaker 1: two streams in one day. First the final table from Venetian,
Speaker 1: which is the MSPT Venetian Event, and then you can
Speaker 1: obviously take.
Speaker 2: A break and honey one special make it run.
Speaker 1: So Brian Luau is leading, pretty big lead Antonio Galliana
Speaker 1: who won a bracelet this year in the five k,
Speaker 1: right he won? He won that? What did he win?
Speaker 1: Was it two years ago? He won the twenty five
Speaker 1: hundred or something and then he won the bracelet in
Speaker 1: the five k. Here, Jessica Vierling is there, Josh Reiker
Speaker 1: is there?
