We kicked off 19 00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:31,079 event one five. 20 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,519 Speaker 1: Massive, massive, massive and massive. 21 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,879 Speaker 2: They're not massive, Okay, buddy, I don't know what your 22 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,959 definition of massive is, but it hits mine because we have. 23 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,159 Speaker 1: My biggest My biggest head peeve in poker is the 24 00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:51,799 over use, the abuse of the word massive. It is unbelievable. 25 00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:55,560 Everyone uses massive, massive, massive, massive, massive, and then secondary 26 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:01,400 to that is smashed, smash the guarantee, smash, mash the guarantee. Listen, 27 00:02:02,599 --> 00:02:07,840 the fields are big relatively speaking towards what we do. Okay, 28 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,080 they're not massive. 29 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,719 Speaker 2: Let's just that's's just let's just we're only compared. 30 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,759 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, don't we don't want to like, I 31 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,000 don't want to downplay the success that we've had. I 32 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,680 just let's let's not sound like idiots. 33 00:02:20,719 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 2: We're not idiots. I think people know that this is 34 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,199 not the ten k WSP main event. We are in 35 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,240 our own little niche of turbo high rollers, and with 36 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,280 what that is, we're we're smashing. 37 00:02:33,199 --> 00:02:36,599 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I hate you. They were massively smashing 38 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,039 overlay alert. 39 00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 2: But the first event one hundred and seventy seven entrance. 40 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,639 The previous best for a five K NO hold before 41 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,400 that was one thirty one, forty six more players. We 42 00:02:48,479 --> 00:02:52,919 had an additional thirty one unique players, which is really big, 43 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,400 And that's what I want to touch on mainly, is 44 00:02:55,439 --> 00:02:58,240 that we're seeing throughout the whole series, even up until 45 00:02:58,439 --> 00:03:01,039 you know, Event five is underway right now, a lot 46 00:03:01,039 --> 00:03:02,879 of new faces here in the studio, which is great 47 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,319 to see. You know, we have our regulars, the Januine 48 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,479 Negrand who's out there, the Darren Oliases, but we're seeing 49 00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:11,080 some new fresh faces. You know, either they're taking a 50 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,039 shot or they had none players that are you know, decided, 51 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,960 you know what, I'm gonna play a few five k's 52 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,599 and ten k's this week. So that's really good in 53 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,199 my in my eyes, seeing these new faces come in 54 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,759 the studio, experience what the PGT has to offer, experience 55 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,759 the great stuff here at Aria, and uh hopefully a 56 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,879 couple of them, you know, get a result of stick 57 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,039 around and kind of keep playing. 58 00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, the numbers have been good. The 59 00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:40,879 number of new faces in the field have been good. 60 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,560 The satellites, that's where it all began. Yes, the five 61 00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:47,680 hundred and sixty dollars satellite that was held the day 62 00:03:47,719 --> 00:03:51,199 before the twenty five Poker Girl Cups started had one 63 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,879 hundred and forty two entries and gave away fourteen. 64 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 2: Massive field size. Absolutely, you absolutely hate you. 65 00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: The thing is is that like if people in the 66 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,199 company listen to this, they're gonna think that I'm trying 67 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,000 to like poo pooh at all and not just I'm 68 00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:11,439 trying to keep it in check, Okay, because people can 69 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,879 just get way too far ahead of themselves. 70 00:04:14,039 --> 00:04:14,439 Speaker 2: Okay. 71 00:04:15,199 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: Now I will say this, kudos to you and I 72 00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:21,879 because we tried to tell them this year we're gonna 73 00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:24,240 need a bigger studio. This year, we're gonna need to 74 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,360 address the size of the TV set because there's gonna 75 00:04:28,399 --> 00:04:31,120 be too many players. And that happened in the first event. 76 00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:31,959 Speaker 2: We had alternates. 77 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, there was like twenty alternates, a lot for us. 78 00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:37,639 We also had alternates in the ten K there was 79 00:04:37,639 --> 00:04:41,079 three or four alternates there. I mean that was part 80 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,000 of the problem. There was that final table was still 81 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,720 playing with Michael Wantsek and Joey Wiseman played for nineteen 82 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,240 days heads up. But yeah, so numbers are good out 83 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,839 of the gate. Also you have Texas Mike winning the 84 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,040 first events topping Joey Wiseman. Then those two same players 85 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,600 go heads up again in the second event. That is outrageous. 86 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,920 It is that is absolutely outrageous. So Michael monsec aka 87 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,920 Texas Mike he wins the opener. He took home one 88 00:05:07,959 --> 00:05:10,279 hundred and eighty five eight hundred and fifty dollars, beat 89 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,879 Joey Wiseman, Cherish Andrews third, Michael brinking off for Stephensong fifth. 90 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,920 Then in the next event, one hundred and eighteen entries 91 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,959 in that one, the bian was kicked up to ten 92 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,399 thousand dollars. Joey Wiseman, Michael monsec Our heads up once again. 93 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,560 This time it's Joey Wiseman coming out on top. He 94 00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:31,040 takes home two hundred and ninety five thousand montsec second, 95 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,560 Eric's Sidell third, Andrew Marino fourth, Sam Laskowitz fifth. There 96 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,560 and then I'll just get through the next two events. 97 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,680 You have Adam Hendricks in event number three, one hundred 98 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,399 and twenty nine entries. There started to seem like we 99 00:05:44,399 --> 00:05:48,959 were going to see a PG kickoff esque trend in 100 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,360 the field sizes, because you you know, normally the field 101 00:05:52,399 --> 00:05:54,480 size is when the byans are the same, they start 102 00:05:54,519 --> 00:05:56,480 to go down over there. Here they went up from 103 00:05:56,519 --> 00:05:58,480 event to to event number three. So we had one 104 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,480 hundred and eighteen entries and number two and then ten 105 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,920 k again into ve number three hundred and twenty nine entries. 106 00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:07,600 Adam Hendricks gets heads up with Harvey Castro. Hendrix comes 107 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,480 out on top an incredible bluff that worked out during 108 00:06:12,519 --> 00:06:18,240 heads up play. I have no idea what Adam Hendricks 109 00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:22,480 was doing. I have little to no idea how Harvey 110 00:06:22,519 --> 00:06:26,920 Castro folded. So I'm just blown away by this hand 111 00:06:26,959 --> 00:06:27,519 that happened. 112 00:06:27,959 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 2: So there was that. 113 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,519 Speaker 1: You guys can find the clip either on Poker Row, 114 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,319 it's on the YouTube channel, it's on our Twitter slash 115 00:06:33,439 --> 00:06:35,600 x account, It's everywhere. If you haven't seen it by now, 116 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,000 just go look. But that that bluff ended up, you know, 117 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,759 propelling Adam HENDRICKX to victory. He gets what was it 118 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:42,480 his seventh or. 119 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 2: Eighth, It was his sixth PGT title sixth. I'm just 120 00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:48,279 I'm giving them just very impressive giving. 121 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,879 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure. So he wins three hundred and 122 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,000 sixteen thousand dollars. Harvey Castro second, as I mentioned, Joscemouth third, 123 00:06:55,079 --> 00:06:59,000 Manual Fritz, one of those new players is here firing away. 124 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,439 Very good player at that. So Manuel Fritz is actually 125 00:07:03,439 --> 00:07:06,079 he was going to come for the Bounty series that 126 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,360 you had planned for last season that ended up getting 127 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,639 put on the shelf for a later date, likely this season. 128 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,199 But he came and he was like, all excited for 129 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,079 it didn't happen, So then he stuck around and played 130 00:07:19,399 --> 00:07:21,959 napt Las Vegas or maybe I can't remember where you 131 00:07:21,959 --> 00:07:25,759 were putting the Yeah, that's yeah, but I remember him 132 00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:28,839 saying that he was super excited about the idea of 133 00:07:28,879 --> 00:07:31,800 a bounty series because he's a European player, because the 134 00:07:31,839 --> 00:07:33,800 Americans have no idea how to play bounties, and that's 135 00:07:33,839 --> 00:07:37,279 probably very true. Yeah, And then in that event, Daniel 136 00:07:37,319 --> 00:07:41,600 Sepiel finished fifth there also of note, Cherish Andrews got 137 00:07:41,639 --> 00:07:45,959 sixth place, so two final tables for her. And then 138 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,839 in event number four, ninety eight entries here and you 139 00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:51,639 get down to heads up playing, Oh look who's there 140 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,680 once again Joey Wiseman. Just I mean, I don't know 141 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,680 what this guy's drinking, what kind of drugs he's on, steroids, 142 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,399 I have no idea performance enhancing. Somebody tests this guy 143 00:07:59,399 --> 00:08:02,720 for ped Joey Wiseman is absolutely crushing it. And I 144 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,839 can't remember exactly, but I think, didn't you pick him 145 00:08:06,879 --> 00:08:08,040 like our predictions? 146 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,079 Speaker 2: No, I picked, I picked him to get into the 147 00:08:11,079 --> 00:08:13,480 top forty because he finished there you go, Yeah, he's 148 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:14,160 crushing best. 149 00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: So he goes heads up with Eric Blair Joey Wiseman. 150 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 2: All smashing my predictions. 151 00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:22,319 Speaker 1: Joey Wiseman ultimately finishes in second place. Eric Blair his 152 00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:26,319 I believe this first cash and first victory of course, 153 00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:30,720 two hundred and fifty four thousand second cash something like that. 154 00:08:30,759 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 2: He cashed the definitely not his first the first win, yes, 155 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,279 the first win whatever. 156 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:42,759 Speaker 1: Eric Blair aka Blizzer aka Big Vegas Vegas. Yeah, that's 157 00:08:42,759 --> 00:08:46,279 his nickname, really, Big Vegas. Two hundred and fifty dollars 158 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,600 for him. Joey Wiseman second, Justin Saliba, who had the 159 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,039 chip lead in this tournament from for sure, from two 160 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,320 tables down, if not before that, he was crushing the 161 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,000 whole way, just a massive, massive ship lead and just 162 00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:03,399 going all the way down. Things didn't ultimately break his 163 00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:05,840 way when they got down to three he had a 164 00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:10,480 massive blow up. No, he had a massive, massive, massive ship. 165 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,559 He gets third place, Darren Elias fourth place, around Zobian 166 00:09:14,159 --> 00:09:17,519 fifth place in that one. So as the and then 167 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,480 event number five is playing out right now, it got 168 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,519 one hundred entries even, which is a couple entries more 169 00:09:22,639 --> 00:09:25,639 than event number four, So numbers are holding very strong. 170 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 2: There will be two. 171 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: Hundred and fifty five thousand dollars up top in that one. 172 00:09:29,759 --> 00:09:32,240 We're recording this about an hour before REMCO and I 173 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,360 get on commentary for Day one coverage. But as things 174 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,919 stand on the series leaderboard, Joey Wiseman up on top. 175 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,759 As you might have expected, he's got one win, he's 176 00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:47,320 got three top three finishes, three cashes total five hundred 177 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,360 and six hundred dollars for him five hundred and eighty 178 00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:54,600 one points had he won event number four. I mean, 179 00:09:54,639 --> 00:09:57,360 good luck to everyone else trying to catch him. Not 180 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,840 that it's impossible, but it would have taken a lot. 181 00:10:00,919 --> 00:10:04,799 And what's also of note as it relates to Joey Wiseman, 182 00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:11,039 he skipped an event. He didn't play event number three 183 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,200 because he was heads up with Michael Monsek and he 184 00:10:14,279 --> 00:10:17,279 chose not to enter. Afterwards, Remember Monsig dropped a stack 185 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,279 and then they had a break and he went over 186 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,679 and just jammed every hand. Joey Wiseman didn't play. So yeah, 187 00:10:23,879 --> 00:10:25,759 just I mean, that's that's interesting to me. You know. 188 00:10:25,879 --> 00:10:28,039 So he's played three of the four events. Well, I 189 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,759 mean he played event or five, but he played three 190 00:10:29,799 --> 00:10:32,440 of the four events. In all three of them he 191 00:10:32,519 --> 00:10:34,440 finished either. 192 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 2: First or second. Yes, he's having a very good series. 193 00:10:37,919 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, and from what I've seen, I've watched all the 194 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,559 final tables, I've obviously been in the booth for the 195 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,279 Day one coverage. He's played extremely well, extremely well. So 196 00:10:47,759 --> 00:10:50,279 I would say watch out for Joey Wiseman, not only 197 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,080 on the PGT but a year long. You know, if 198 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,759 he continues to play like this, continues to be on 199 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,879 his A game catch cards, all that sort of stuff, 200 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,720 I mean, good luck beating this guy this year. So 201 00:11:04,799 --> 00:11:06,799 he's the top leader board five hundred eighty one points, 202 00:11:07,039 --> 00:11:10,799 fairly big gap. Michael Montsek is second three sixty nine. 203 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,360 Then it's Adam Hendricks in third, three sixteen, Eric Blair 204 00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:17,840 in fourth two fifty five, and Harvey Castro runs off 205 00:11:17,879 --> 00:11:21,159 the top five with one ninety four. Of course, the 206 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,879 winner of the leaderboard or the player that tops the 207 00:11:23,919 --> 00:11:27,639 leaderboard have to have two cases. You will win the 208 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,759 twenty five thousand dollars PGT passport bonus. So there's that 209 00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:36,279 that's up for grabs. All right, you talked about the numbers, right, 210 00:11:36,279 --> 00:11:37,879 you talked about the new faces. I mean, I mean, 211 00:11:37,919 --> 00:11:41,080 what you got any other thoughts on the series in general? 212 00:11:41,159 --> 00:11:42,159 How things are going? 213 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,759 Speaker 2: Like, I mean, just today we were I was walking 214 00:11:45,759 --> 00:11:48,320 around and trying to catch some hands, had players talking 215 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,360 about the field sizes and like, you know, what's what's next? 216 00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:54,120 You know, if we keep growing We've been kind of 217 00:11:54,159 --> 00:11:57,559 growing series on series here on. Yeah, we're obviously doing 218 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,360 our best to keep that trend upwards. And they were basically, 219 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,559 as you're gonna fit more tables? Can we play at aria? Like, 220 00:12:04,639 --> 00:12:08,159 what's the solution here? So the players know that it's 221 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,360 it's it's coming that we are working on trying to 222 00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:15,519 figure out it's not really a problem, but it's in 223 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,039 a way, it's a problem figuring out the problem of 224 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,879 not enough tables, not enough space. You know, the obviously 225 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,639 easy solution, you up the buy in. We don't really 226 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,840 want to do that, So you know we're going to 227 00:12:27,919 --> 00:12:31,000 work towards. Obviously, the next real big series for us 228 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,679 when it comes to this is going to be Poker Masters. 229 00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:34,639 Speaker 1: Uh. 230 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,799 Speaker 2: And the reason I say that is I think. 231 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: You're a Debbie Downer. 232 00:12:37,879 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 2: You believe I know the poker tournament world back like 233 00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:43,480 the back of my hand. 234 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,639 Speaker 1: Yet you won't. You wouldn't bet me, and I was 235 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,799 giving you a better line than you off. So for 236 00:12:48,919 --> 00:12:52,440 context here Tim is, Tim is saying this because he's 237 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,279 skipping mentioning US poke Ropen. You know the Pokagro Tour 238 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,480 has three majors, Poker Girl Cup, US Proke Open, and 239 00:12:59,639 --> 00:13:02,799 Poker Masters. Poker Masters is always big, yeah, and that's 240 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,240 gonna smash this year. Both you and I. You know, 241 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,720 internally we're telling people like Poker Masters this season is 242 00:13:10,759 --> 00:13:11,559 going to be massive. 243 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 2: We need to be prepared for it. Now. 244 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,159 Speaker 1: We were a little bit behind, to be honest, because 245 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,840 the Cup is smashing. Good problem to have. Don't get 246 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,559 me wrong, Tim thinks US Poker Open is not going 247 00:13:23,639 --> 00:13:27,480 to be as big as a Poker Grill Cup. You 248 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:33,240 said it would be down thirty percent. I said they 249 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,519 won't be down twenty percent. And we can go event 250 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,039 for event. I will take less than twenty percent down 251 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,240 in each event for like twenty dollars per event. And 252 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,279 you you just laughed it off like you just didn't 253 00:13:45,279 --> 00:13:49,360 want because you're viewing nonsense. Yet every day, every day 254 00:13:49,399 --> 00:13:50,879 we go in there. I tell Tim that it's going 255 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,960 to get some number. He's like thirty five entries below 256 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,840 what I say, yet is under where it comes. 257 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,399 Speaker 2: To one event three, Event four though I crushed. I said, 258 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:01,440 today is going to be down. 259 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,759 Speaker 1: And by the way, is that number one event number one, 260 00:14:03,759 --> 00:14:05,440 which at one hundred and seventy seven entries would have 261 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,559 had two hundred had we had space. 262 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 2: Would have had at least let's still for sure hundred was. 263 00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:13,159 Speaker 1: Going to for sure had two hundred. First of all, 264 00:14:13,159 --> 00:14:15,559 there was twenty people waiting. At least there was get 265 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,720 twenty twenty five people waiting. Other people were re entering. 266 00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:25,000 I'm honestly, I'm curious to see, like if anyone had 267 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,919 a close decision and went one way because they. 268 00:14:26,879 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 2: Were because I want to wait. 269 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: Yes, I mean why wouldn't you, right, I don't have 270 00:14:30,399 --> 00:14:34,240 waiting live for an hour? Yeah? So yeah, so I 271 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,519 think USB Pok Girlblin is still going to be big. 272 00:14:36,759 --> 00:14:40,879 Speaker 2: I mean, look, let's hope it speak. The fact that 273 00:14:40,919 --> 00:14:43,360 it overlapsed the seminal event by a couple of days, 274 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,600 it means we will lose a few players. But look, 275 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,799 let's just hope I'm wrong. I always want to be 276 00:14:48,799 --> 00:14:52,799 wrong on this one. So yeah, espn. 277 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's going to be amazing. The thing 278 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,879 is is I don't. So there's also there's there's a 279 00:14:58,919 --> 00:15:02,320 second problem that I think everyone is is overlooking, or 280 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,519 at least it hasn't been discussed yet to my knowledge, 281 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:11,799 and that is the the length of the field sizes, sorry, 282 00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:17,519 the size of the fields in combination with these majors 283 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:22,480 have the seventy five K five level back in. Also 284 00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:26,840 in combination with the fact that players in general are 285 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,840 getting better at poker as they go, like it's always 286 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,440 getting better, right, especially these players who are the best 287 00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:35,120 of the best, is always getting better. And then also 288 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,919 like I think the strength of the tour and the 289 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,039 want to perform and compete well in it plays into 290 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,279 the whole thing as well, where the final tables are 291 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,519 taking longer. Yeah, so that's something that also needs to 292 00:15:49,519 --> 00:15:54,000 get addressed. And here's why, I mean, there's for sure. 293 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,240 One reason is when you have a series that's eight 294 00:15:56,279 --> 00:16:01,320 events long, in my opinion, like you have to play 295 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,600 every event, so like really have the best person be 296 00:16:05,679 --> 00:16:09,360 crowned the winner. You can't have people skipping events, so 297 00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:12,639 it's like it's a tricky spot. But it's also tricky 298 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,879 like from a production standpoint, because things are going very 299 00:16:14,919 --> 00:16:18,559 late some nights. Like, it's just it's it's interesting. I honestly, 300 00:16:18,559 --> 00:16:21,320 I don't know any sort of solution. I haven't really 301 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,480 thought about it at all, but I just know that 302 00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:25,759 it's becoming more of an issue. Yeah, I mean, these 303 00:16:25,799 --> 00:16:28,559 things are going to draw out much longer now. Two 304 00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:31,799 nights ago we played till three am. That was on 305 00:16:31,919 --> 00:16:35,559 day one, and then you had the Joey Monsec and 306 00:16:36,039 --> 00:16:38,720 or sorry Joey Monsec, the Joey Wiseman and Michael Monsec 307 00:16:38,799 --> 00:16:42,200 one of their heads up matches last Forever, right, I 308 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,960 mean even today Joey Wiseman played Forever, Like, yeah, you know, 309 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,879 it's just it's becoming weird. Well I don't know what 310 00:16:50,919 --> 00:16:52,080 to do, but it's becoming weird. 311 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 2: We made one rule change. You know you talked about 312 00:16:54,159 --> 00:16:56,240 adding the one twenty five level that was definitely a 313 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,799 player request. We made one rule change where we're shot 314 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,879 in the levels at three handed, so it's it's it's 315 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,319 TBD time, So if we're running along, it could be 316 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,880 ten minute levels, right, It never going to be, but 317 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,240 we just have that built into the rules. At the 318 00:17:13,279 --> 00:17:15,400 PLO series, we're going to experiment a little bit with 319 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,559 the ten case structures basically going to be thirty minutes 320 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,160 up until like level twelve, So we're going to try 321 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,839 and shave off like an hour of play, which really matters, 322 00:17:25,279 --> 00:17:28,440 like you said, when we're playing late at night down 323 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,839 to the final table. So we're trying to get through 324 00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:34,039 more of the structure without you know, and we can 325 00:17:34,079 --> 00:17:36,640 still try and bring back six players. So we're going 326 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,599 to experiment that with a PLO series and then if 327 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,480 how that goes, will kind of push that into the 328 00:17:43,559 --> 00:17:47,319 no limit holder majors going forward. So yeah, I think 329 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,759 both you know, ask the PGT and are aware of 330 00:17:50,799 --> 00:17:54,240 these sizes hopefully and you know, continuing to grow, and 331 00:17:54,279 --> 00:17:56,960 we have to try and get ahead of some of 332 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,640 these issues that are coming up. We thought we were 333 00:17:58,640 --> 00:17:59,960 going to get ahead of it this series with the 334 00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:04,319 three handed obviously when we didn't expect one hundred and 335 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,039 seventy seven Entrancing Event one one, twenty nine events Entrancing 336 00:18:08,039 --> 00:18:11,759 Event three, both records. Yeah, it's good. It is a 337 00:18:11,759 --> 00:18:12,880 good problem to happen. 338 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: By first, like the first solution that popped in my 339 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,000 mind and I have no idea if this is even possible. 340 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,920 I'm leaning that it's not possible, but I this is 341 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,240 just what I thought of is some. 342 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 2: Trying to think if I could figure out what you're 343 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:29,240 gonna say. 344 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,039 Speaker 1: Okay, see if you can think about it, you're you're 345 00:18:31,039 --> 00:18:33,039 for sure gonna say it's not possible. I already know 346 00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:35,119 you guys, but I'm going to whatever you're gonna say. 347 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 2: Eleven am. 348 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,519 Speaker 1: No, I was gonna say every event needs to be 349 00:18:38,559 --> 00:18:39,079 three days. 350 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 2: I mean, that's obviously possible. 351 00:18:42,039 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: It's just yeah, But I just didn't know if it 352 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,720 was like doable from like a like a fitting everything 353 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,519 on the schedule staffing. Like I I hadn't fully thought 354 00:18:50,519 --> 00:18:52,119 it out. I was thinking, like what if you start 355 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,839 events like on day one, you start them at like 356 00:18:55,039 --> 00:18:58,640 four o'clock and they play like a basically a half, 357 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,880 so so each event is like two and a half days. Like, 358 00:19:02,559 --> 00:19:04,319 I have no idea. I haven't like even put this 359 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,519 down on paper and like try to like speck it out. 360 00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:08,599 But that's like my first thing is like all these 361 00:19:08,599 --> 00:19:10,240 events are gonna need to be extended. I know you 362 00:19:10,279 --> 00:19:12,200 and I have talked about like the five k opener 363 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,359 should just have two starting plots. Yeah, like that, you know, 364 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,279 and that's that's more easy to contain. But then once 365 00:19:19,319 --> 00:19:20,960 you like get into the middle of the schedule, it's 366 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,400 like weird because you also have to factor in that. 367 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,759 I think a lot of these players they like in 368 00:19:25,839 --> 00:19:28,839 and out, like it's basically one day, or you make 369 00:19:28,839 --> 00:19:30,519 the final table exact, and like a lot of people 370 00:19:30,599 --> 00:19:32,160 like that, like it's in and out. You get a 371 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,680 lot of quote unquote volume. I know it's not a 372 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,039 ton of volume, but you still get a lot of 373 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,559 volume in a small window. You know, it's good for 374 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,160 recreationals who can pop in for one tournament here or there, 375 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,680 and then it's good for you know, like the Stephen Chidwick's, 376 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,799 the Jeremy austmas Is, et cetera, where you know, you 377 00:19:46,839 --> 00:19:49,119 cram eight tournaments in eight days like boom boom boom. 378 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:49,519 Speaker 2: Like that. 379 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 1: That's great. So but but then you start if you 380 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,240 have eight tournaments and every tournaments three days, it's like 381 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:55,680 everything gets extended. 382 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 2: So can you even do that? I mean I could 383 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,480 obviously do it, it's just not we do. And I 384 00:20:01,519 --> 00:20:04,680 think the players play our events for certain reasons, and 385 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,720 I think one of those reasons is that we're kind 386 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,200 of offering this kind of one day tourbo If you're 387 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,759 playing twelve hours, you're in the money. If you make 388 00:20:12,799 --> 00:20:15,319 it to day two, you're playing for potentially quarter million 389 00:20:15,319 --> 00:20:19,440 dollars or more. And I do think poker will start 390 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:24,359 trending that way where it's kind of quicker tournaments, faster structures, 391 00:20:25,039 --> 00:20:29,119 but you get a bigger ROI on time invested, and 392 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,279 I think that's important for obviously for businessmen and VIPs, 393 00:20:32,279 --> 00:20:34,319 it's such a that's important, but I think these players 394 00:20:34,319 --> 00:20:38,240 are understanding that the ROI on time is also important. 395 00:20:38,279 --> 00:20:41,119 And look, there are you know you want your four 396 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,480 day five K World Series has one of those you 397 00:20:44,519 --> 00:20:46,640 know it has multi you know, if you want like 398 00:20:46,759 --> 00:20:50,680 a big ten K with many days and ninety minute levels, 399 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,440 you go find that on a WPT. You can find 400 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,400 those slower things around the country at other times. But 401 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,799 you're kind of coming to us for like, hey, you know, 402 00:20:58,839 --> 00:21:02,759 if you're a say a down elas you coming, you're 403 00:21:02,759 --> 00:21:06,119 coming to Vegas. I'm coming for ten dice. I'm gonna 404 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,440 get eight events in. I'm gonna be able to get 405 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,440 in half a million of buyings if I'm if I 406 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,920 run bad, but half a million of buyings in ten 407 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,559 days and then I can go home for a couple 408 00:21:15,519 --> 00:21:18,119 of months, you know, So you can't really do that 409 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,640 in anywhere else in America. So we offer something that's 410 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,599 very niche. But I think that niche is growing and 411 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,039 we can see that in these numbers, and the field 412 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,119 size is trending up. 413 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, I like it again. I'll say, 414 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,119 good problem to have is, you know, the field size 415 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,759 are obviously growing, and you know, Tim and I like 416 00:21:38,839 --> 00:21:41,880 we joke internally with people. We say, you know, we're 417 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,680 gonna make you guys change the set or we're gonna 418 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,599 make you do that. You know, like we're gonna basically 419 00:21:46,599 --> 00:21:50,599 we're gonna make the tour so big relatively speaking to 420 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,319 what we do that you guys are gonna have to 421 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,480 like the set can't be as big as We're gonna 422 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:55,880 need to fit a couple more tables in here, like 423 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,960 stuff like that. You know, we joke, and it's it's 424 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:03,119 getting to that point. So you know, good, great, you 425 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,400 and I have to do a podcast on Monday, I 426 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,440 believe because I think the schedules coming out. They put 427 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,519 it on Twitter, that's coming out. Yeah, I got it, 428 00:22:11,559 --> 00:22:16,279 so let's go. So we got that. For those listening 429 00:22:16,319 --> 00:22:18,640 at home, I do want to remind you, we've talked 430 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,519 about it before, I'll say it again that you can 431 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:26,039 play the play Poker Go Cup on play PokerGO dot com. 432 00:22:27,039 --> 00:22:30,799 We are having one event a day until February nineteenth, 433 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,960 or February nineteenth will be the last the last day 434 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,599 for an event. Four events are done. It was Prostophilia 435 00:22:39,799 --> 00:22:42,920 won the first event, JD Rocket twenty won the second event, 436 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,440 Stone Monk won the third event, and koy Roy Ace 437 00:22:46,519 --> 00:22:52,480 ace or AA won the fourth event. Coy Roy, you 438 00:22:52,599 --> 00:22:57,160 lucky little bastard busted me or sorry, took two thirds 439 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,400 of my chips or sixty percent of my chi, I 440 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,640 can't remember either way. He lim called all in from 441 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,200 the small blind with queensix suited and beat my ACE 442 00:23:06,279 --> 00:23:09,599 four and I ended up finishing in sixth place. It 443 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,640 was just absolutely brueal. I feel completely scammed. It's just wild, 444 00:23:14,319 --> 00:23:16,359 all right. The one thing I did want to hit 445 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,720 on is overall leaderboard. How things are shaken la PGT leaderboard. Yes, 446 00:23:20,839 --> 00:23:25,200 so as you might have expected, Joey Wiseman is is 447 00:23:25,279 --> 00:23:29,119 up out on top, up out up on top up 448 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:29,559 on top. 449 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 2: I can't speak. 450 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,599 Speaker 1: So he's up on top seven hundred and thirty points. 451 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,319 He has the three cases, the win and the two 452 00:23:37,319 --> 00:23:40,119 second place finishes from this Poker gro Cup. But then 453 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:44,000 he also had two cashes from the PGT kickoff series. 454 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,880 So Joey Wiseman is off and running quite nicely. He 455 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,400 didn't qualify last year, right correct, And this year he's 456 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,240 already got seven hundred and thirty points. We think the 457 00:23:55,279 --> 00:23:57,440 line will be right around nine to fifty to one 458 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,079 thousand again. So I mean he's if he doesn't get in, 459 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,319 it's gonna be the biggest upset, right, I mean, how 460 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,039 does he not get in? 461 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,279 Speaker 2: Well, if we've got to make sure he doesn't go 462 00:24:07,319 --> 00:24:09,160 on a trip around Asia for six months like he 463 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,440 did last ye and he'll get in. 464 00:24:10,799 --> 00:24:12,599 Speaker 1: He could go on a trip around Asia for eight 465 00:24:12,599 --> 00:24:15,240 months and he'll still getting Wiseman moving into first place 466 00:24:15,279 --> 00:24:17,960 on the lead board. That kicks Kristen Foxen down to 467 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,119 second place. She's still in second. She had a couple 468 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,839 finishes here, She's up five cashes as well. On the season. 469 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,640 She's got five hundred and seventy eight points. Then it's Jausimau, 470 00:24:29,839 --> 00:24:34,039 Then Eric Blair, then Patrick Leonard. Patrick Leonard was in second, 471 00:24:34,039 --> 00:24:35,720 it was it was Kristen box and first. It was 472 00:24:35,759 --> 00:24:39,680 Patrick Leonard's second entering the twenty twenty five Poker gro Cup. 473 00:24:40,039 --> 00:24:41,839 So Leonard has slid down a little bit. He has 474 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,599 had one or two cashes. I forget the seventh last night, 475 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,160 seventh last night. Yeah, yeah, so you know he's he's 476 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,559 also up to five cashes there are on the season. 477 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,559 There are three players with five cashes at least through 478 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,880 the fourth event of Poker Groke Cup. And those four 479 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,839 are Joey Wiseman's got five cashes. I'm sorry those three. 480 00:25:04,039 --> 00:25:07,119 Joey Wiseman's got five cashes, Kristen Boxin's got five cashes, 481 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:12,519 and Patrick Leonard has five cashes. So the PGT is 482 00:25:12,559 --> 00:25:16,920 off and running. I love it. Are there any surprises 483 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,720 so far, like season wide, like anyone that's kind of 484 00:25:20,759 --> 00:25:23,440 high up on the lead aboard, maybe somebody who hasn't 485 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,160 really gotten any points yet, like anything that sticks out 486 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,640 to you as it relates to the overall leader, because 487 00:25:28,799 --> 00:25:31,400 now we're including kickoff as well in. 488 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,519 Speaker 2: This, I mean, I think a surprise points wise would 489 00:25:35,519 --> 00:25:39,839 be Michael Manchek obviously not someone we would count on 490 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,200 being at these events, but obviously playing for a good 491 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,880 cop had a good start. He's sitting in six. One 492 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,920 player that kind of two players that really stand out 493 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,319 to me not having a lot of points. One Jeremy 494 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,279 Osmas he had that one cashing event five PGD Kickoff, 495 00:25:56,319 --> 00:26:00,680 but no, he has not anything. He's not running that good, 496 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,759 but you know, he had a good season last year. 497 00:26:03,759 --> 00:26:07,039 Soon he can take some time off. Another guy who 498 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,880 skipped some events to play our events, hasn't cashed yet. 499 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,480 Jeremy Becker break the kickoff, he's breaking the cup. He's 500 00:26:15,519 --> 00:26:17,839 still an event five, but he has not had a 501 00:26:17,839 --> 00:26:20,640 good start to the season. And he is a little 502 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,039 upset that he kind of bubbled the championship last year, 503 00:26:23,039 --> 00:26:25,720 didn't he didn't get to play and he assured us 504 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,680 he's going to make it this year. So surprised that 505 00:26:29,759 --> 00:26:32,000 those two really, you know, haven't kind of got the 506 00:26:32,039 --> 00:26:35,000 results have needed. But you know what season is young, 507 00:26:35,559 --> 00:26:37,960 a lot of time, but you know, kickoff was a 508 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,160 good spot. Probably Cup was a good spot to kind 509 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,480 of start the season, you know, off and running. 510 00:26:44,519 --> 00:26:50,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would look at Andrew Lichtenberger has gotten off 511 00:26:50,759 --> 00:26:55,359 to a good start he believe he missed out last year, right, Yeah, 512 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,880 he only had live Yeah, he only had five and 513 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,920 sixty five points. He had ten cashes last season on 514 00:27:02,039 --> 00:27:04,799 PGT but ultimately fell short. And he's someone who I 515 00:27:04,799 --> 00:27:06,559 feel like I would almost expect to be in the 516 00:27:06,559 --> 00:27:10,720 top forty already this season. He's at three twenty six, 517 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,920 so more than half of what he got last year. 518 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:15,319 Speaker 2: So there's that. 519 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: I think Stephen Song is off to a good start. 520 00:27:18,759 --> 00:27:21,319 I think Nick Seward is off to a good start. 521 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,480 Andrew Marino is off to a good start as well. 522 00:27:25,319 --> 00:27:28,000 John all right, Yeah, John Reardon is off to a 523 00:27:28,039 --> 00:27:32,000 pretty good start. You know. John Reardon is somebody I 524 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,480 talked about it, I think on the prediction spot when 525 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,759 he's always here. Yeah, and he had fifteen cases last 526 00:27:38,839 --> 00:27:41,519 year but only was able to muster up five hundred 527 00:27:41,519 --> 00:27:44,359 and eighty points. He's up to one hundred and eighty 528 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,640 nine points already this season, So maybe things are going 529 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,359 to break a little bit better for John Reardon. And 530 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,680 then I guess Manuel Fritz is a good one as well. 531 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,920 And listen, Pads is kind of a surprise. He's always 532 00:27:58,519 --> 00:28:01,759 kind of mentioned possibly playing in the studio at times. 533 00:28:01,839 --> 00:28:05,759 You know, taking to these bigger series on the PGT. 534 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,079 I know he's if anyone follows him on social media. 535 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,079 He loves the whole leaderboard aspect of stuff, especially like 536 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,880 the big online series and chasing like Scoop leaderboards, w 537 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:16,799 Coop leader awards. 538 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:17,079 Speaker 2: Et cetera. 539 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 1: So that is probably something he very much likes and enjoys, 540 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,599 is the leaderboard aspect of what we're doing here, not 541 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:29,400 only the series leaderboards, but also the the overall season 542 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,119 long leader board. And it helps with someone like Pads 543 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,640 where maybe he was going to take a shot during 544 00:28:34,759 --> 00:28:37,480 kickoff and stuff and then go from there. Maybe you 545 00:28:37,519 --> 00:28:39,160 don't have any success and then you just kind of 546 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,279 go back to doing what you were doing. But it's 547 00:28:41,319 --> 00:28:44,160 like we sucked him in now, you know he I 548 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,920 think I saw on his Instagram the other day that 549 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,000 he was going to be skipping Triton to play PGT 550 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:52,839 mixed games. You know, so you latch onto those points. 551 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,759 You have so many already you know you're for him. 552 00:28:55,799 --> 00:28:57,759 He's got four or five right now if we think 553 00:28:57,799 --> 00:28:59,480 the number, let's say a thousand. 554 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 2: So he's forty percent. 555 00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:03,839 Speaker 1: Not the way there. It's still halfway through February and 556 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,720 you have a million dollar free roll at the end 557 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,880 of it all. So it definitely benefits you to play 558 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,119 as much as possible in this stuff. I think Cherish 559 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,880 Andrews is off to a good start. She had a 560 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:18,359 couple of final tables here at the UH at the 561 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:23,319 Girl Cup, and then I think I'm surprised that Nick 562 00:29:23,359 --> 00:29:27,640 Shulman hasn't had as much success, but he hasn't played 563 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,279 every event. Yeah, I'm not so much worried about him, 564 00:29:30,319 --> 00:29:33,319 Like he's somebody who also like he's in that camp 565 00:29:34,839 --> 00:29:38,319 of a Let's say Dan and Legrand new Jeremy Osmas, 566 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,079 Nick Shulman, I would put in there, Jim Kaliky I 567 00:29:42,079 --> 00:29:46,160 would put in there, and probably Stephen Chidwick in terms 568 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,799 of and I would say Eric's head out too. They'll play, 569 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,759 they'll play all the different series. You know a lot 570 00:29:51,759 --> 00:29:53,480 of these guys are like just no him and hold 571 00:29:53,519 --> 00:29:55,920 them or you know some players as well, or like 572 00:29:56,119 --> 00:29:59,319 we're just pol Yeah, but you know that group of 573 00:29:59,319 --> 00:30:01,400 players that I'm int and they will be playing everything. 574 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,000 Patrick Lennard two. Actually, you know now that we haven't hooked, 575 00:30:04,519 --> 00:30:06,920 I guess, or at least fingers crossed, we haven't hooked. 576 00:30:07,599 --> 00:30:10,400 He can play it all too so we'll see him, 577 00:30:10,559 --> 00:30:14,440 you know, out there battling as well. So yeah, I 578 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:15,240 got nothing else? 579 00:30:16,079 --> 00:30:18,759 Speaker 2: Something else? What else? When you talk about fact that 580 00:30:18,839 --> 00:30:22,799 you and me giving away a dream seat, Oh yeah, 581 00:30:22,799 --> 00:30:26,920 we had to into the PGT million dollars Championship at 582 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:27,799 the end of the season. 583 00:30:28,279 --> 00:30:30,319 Speaker 1: There's maybe if I was giving it away, I would 584 00:30:30,319 --> 00:30:30,960 give it to myself. 585 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we're not going to do that because you're 586 00:30:32,319 --> 00:30:35,559 drink it in that good since you know I'm the best. 587 00:30:35,599 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: Wait, hold on before we get to this, okay, because 588 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,519 you're you're trying to dump on me. I have to 589 00:30:40,519 --> 00:30:42,079 tell everyone about a hand you played. 590 00:30:43,079 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 2: Where do you have the right hand history? I don't. 591 00:30:45,559 --> 00:30:47,279 Speaker 1: I'm only going to say the pre flop stuff and 592 00:30:47,279 --> 00:30:48,839 then we can just go from there. Tim is playing 593 00:30:48,839 --> 00:30:53,519 the sixty MSPT at Venetian whatever a week or two ago. 594 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,400 He finished thirty eighth. Somehow, some way after this hand, 595 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,680 this hand is raised under the gun. Somebody calls. The 596 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,440 big line was three hundred, so it's relatively early. Guy 597 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,440 makes it eight hundred. Round of the gun. Somebody calls, 598 00:31:07,599 --> 00:31:11,720 somebody else calls, somebody else calls. Tim's in the small 599 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,640 I think no, because there was four and then ended 600 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:16,359 up being the two blinds. 601 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:17,319 Speaker 2: There's six people of total. 602 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: I know you're your hand industry, you don't. Tim's in 603 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,279 the small line with pocket queens and just calls. I mean, 604 00:31:24,319 --> 00:31:26,200 that's all. That's all you need to know, that's all 605 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:26,759 you need to know. 606 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 2: Win the hand, yes. 607 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,799 Speaker 1: Somehow, this is why poker is so insane. Not only 608 00:31:32,799 --> 00:31:35,880 did you win the hands, Okay, you won the maximum 609 00:31:36,079 --> 00:31:39,359 because I mean I'm assuming you won the maximum because 610 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,799 if you so, here's let me say how the hand 611 00:31:41,839 --> 00:31:44,519 plays out. You call from the small bline, which is 612 00:31:44,559 --> 00:31:47,240 the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The big blind also calls. 613 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,839 So now there's six people. They go to a flop. 614 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,759 Speaker 2: The flop was five six fall yeah, four five six 615 00:31:53,599 --> 00:31:53,920 four or. 616 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:58,119 Speaker 1: Five six checks to one of the Ryan calla which 617 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,079 is Ryan the plant, he bets whatever it ends up like, 618 00:32:02,119 --> 00:32:05,319 you end up calling, but also you only lose one player. Yeah, 619 00:32:05,359 --> 00:32:07,759 there's five people, go to the turn. The turn pairs 620 00:32:07,799 --> 00:32:10,079 the board with a five yeah. Checks around the river 621 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,759 is another five yeah. So now there's three fives on board. 622 00:32:12,759 --> 00:32:16,039 So with six five four five five you checked. The 623 00:32:16,079 --> 00:32:19,160 original razor who was under the gun bets he over 624 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,880 bets fifteen k into twelve six, you just call he 625 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,599 has pocket threes. So because if you three bet, he 626 00:32:25,599 --> 00:32:28,319 probably just pitches the threes. I mean, it depends what 627 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,799 you make it. But yeah, I mean I don't know 628 00:32:31,799 --> 00:32:33,839 if anyone else calls or whatever, but like somehow you 629 00:32:33,839 --> 00:32:37,960 won the maximum in this whole set, just an outrageous 630 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,680 I have, yeah, outrageous. 631 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 2: Thirty eighth place is so pretty good. That come on 632 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:44,400 places good. 633 00:32:44,559 --> 00:32:46,039 Speaker 1: I don't know how you got there after playing that 634 00:32:46,079 --> 00:32:52,759 hands anyway, continue, Yes, a dream seat. 635 00:32:52,839 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 2: There are many ways to win a dream seat this 636 00:32:55,079 --> 00:32:59,559 year through probably got we the podcast Donnie and Tim 637 00:32:59,759 --> 00:33:03,039 with giving you guys, the listeners a chance.
