Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the
Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donny Peters. His name
is Tim Duckworth. Fingers crossed that this recording works had
massive technical difficulties, very possibly user difficulties. Yeah, I don't
know what's going on, so hopefully this goes out to
the masses. If not, then I'm gonna throw my computer
into the middle of Las Vegas Boulevard. But other than that,
things are good. It is the middle of the Poker
Go Cup. Event number four wrapped up today, so the
halfway point as things stand, it is Saturday evening February,
I should say February fifteenth, day after Valentine Day, tomorrow
Sunday day off. Yes, at least for people at Poker
ro p Tour, I should say yes. I'll be a Venetian, uh,
doing some commentary for the card Player Poker Tour final
table that's going on over there. But yeah, let's talk
about the Poker Girl Cup. What's happening. You're the commission
You've been here every day. What's the story.
Speaker 2: The story is massive, massive field sizes. We kicked off
event one five.
Speaker 1: Massive, massive, massive and massive.
Speaker 2: They're not massive, Okay, buddy, I don't know what your
definition of massive is, but it hits mine because we have.
Speaker 1: My biggest My biggest head peeve in poker is the
over use, the abuse of the word massive. It is unbelievable.
Everyone uses massive, massive, massive, massive, massive, and then secondary
to that is smashed, smash the guarantee, smash, mash the guarantee. Listen,
the fields are big relatively speaking towards what we do. Okay,
they're not massive.
Speaker 2: Let's just that's's just let's just we're only compared.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, don't we don't want to like, I
don't want to downplay the success that we've had. I
just let's let's not sound like idiots.
Speaker 2: We're not idiots. I think people know that this is
not the ten k WSP main event. We are in
our own little niche of turbo high rollers, and with
what that is, we're we're smashing.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I hate you. They were massively smashing
overlay alert.
Speaker 2: But the first event one hundred and seventy seven entrance.
The previous best for a five K NO hold before
that was one thirty one, forty six more players. We
had an additional thirty one unique players, which is really big,
And that's what I want to touch on mainly, is
that we're seeing throughout the whole series, even up until
you know, Event five is underway right now, a lot
of new faces here in the studio, which is great
to see. You know, we have our regulars, the Januine
Negrand who's out there, the Darren Oliases, but we're seeing
some new fresh faces. You know, either they're taking a
shot or they had none players that are you know, decided,
you know what, I'm gonna play a few five k's
and ten k's this week. So that's really good in
my in my eyes, seeing these new faces come in
the studio, experience what the PGT has to offer, experience
the great stuff here at Aria, and uh hopefully a
couple of them, you know, get a result of stick
around and kind of keep playing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, the numbers have been good. The
number of new faces in the field have been good.
The satellites, that's where it all began. Yes, the five
hundred and sixty dollars satellite that was held the day
before the twenty five Poker Girl Cups started had one
hundred and forty two entries and gave away fourteen.
Speaker 2: Massive field size. Absolutely, you absolutely hate you.
Speaker 1: The thing is is that like if people in the
company listen to this, they're gonna think that I'm trying
to like poo pooh at all and not just I'm
trying to keep it in check, Okay, because people can
just get way too far ahead of themselves.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Now I will say this, kudos to you and I
because we tried to tell them this year we're gonna
need a bigger studio. This year, we're gonna need to
address the size of the TV set because there's gonna
be too many players. And that happened in the first event.
Speaker 2: We had alternates.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was like twenty alternates, a lot for us.
We also had alternates in the ten K there was
three or four alternates there. I mean that was part
of the problem. There was that final table was still
playing with Michael Wantsek and Joey Wiseman played for nineteen
days heads up. But yeah, so numbers are good out
of the gate. Also you have Texas Mike winning the
first events topping Joey Wiseman. Then those two same players
go heads up again in the second event. That is outrageous.
It is that is absolutely outrageous. So Michael monsec aka
Texas Mike he wins the opener. He took home one
hundred and eighty five eight hundred and fifty dollars, beat
Joey Wiseman, Cherish Andrews third, Michael brinking off for Stephensong fifth.
Then in the next event, one hundred and eighteen entries
in that one, the bian was kicked up to ten
thousand dollars. Joey Wiseman, Michael monsec Our heads up once again.
This time it's Joey Wiseman coming out on top. He
takes home two hundred and ninety five thousand montsec second,
Eric's Sidell third, Andrew Marino fourth, Sam Laskowitz fifth. There
and then I'll just get through the next two events.
You have Adam Hendricks in event number three, one hundred
and twenty nine entries. There started to seem like we
were going to see a PG kickoff esque trend in
the field sizes, because you you know, normally the field
size is when the byans are the same, they start
to go down over there. Here they went up from
event to to event number three. So we had one
hundred and eighteen entries and number two and then ten
k again into ve number three hundred and twenty nine entries.
Adam Hendricks gets heads up with Harvey Castro. Hendrix comes
out on top an incredible bluff that worked out during
heads up play. I have no idea what Adam Hendricks
was doing. I have little to no idea how Harvey
Castro folded. So I'm just blown away by this hand
that happened.
Speaker 2: So there was that.
Speaker 1: You guys can find the clip either on Poker Row,
it's on the YouTube channel, it's on our Twitter slash
x account, It's everywhere. If you haven't seen it by now,
just go look. But that that bluff ended up, you know,
propelling Adam HENDRICKX to victory. He gets what was it
his seventh or.
Speaker 2: Eighth, It was his sixth PGT title sixth. I'm just
I'm giving them just very impressive giving.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure. So he wins three hundred and
sixteen thousand dollars. Harvey Castro second, as I mentioned, Joscemouth third,
Manual Fritz, one of those new players is here firing away.
Very good player at that. So Manuel Fritz is actually
he was going to come for the Bounty series that
you had planned for last season that ended up getting
put on the shelf for a later date, likely this season.
But he came and he was like, all excited for
it didn't happen, So then he stuck around and played
napt Las Vegas or maybe I can't remember where you
were putting the Yeah, that's yeah, but I remember him
saying that he was super excited about the idea of
a bounty series because he's a European player, because the
Americans have no idea how to play bounties, and that's
probably very true. Yeah, And then in that event, Daniel
Sepiel finished fifth there also of note, Cherish Andrews got
sixth place, so two final tables for her. And then
in event number four, ninety eight entries here and you
get down to heads up playing, Oh look who's there
once again Joey Wiseman. Just I mean, I don't know
what this guy's drinking, what kind of drugs he's on, steroids,
I have no idea performance enhancing. Somebody tests this guy
for ped Joey Wiseman is absolutely crushing it. And I
can't remember exactly, but I think, didn't you pick him
like our predictions?
Speaker 2: No, I picked, I picked him to get into the
top forty because he finished there you go, Yeah, he's
crushing best.
Speaker 1: So he goes heads up with Eric Blair Joey Wiseman.
Speaker 2: All smashing my predictions.
Speaker 1: Joey Wiseman ultimately finishes in second place. Eric Blair his
I believe this first cash and first victory of course,
two hundred and fifty four thousand second cash something like that.
Speaker 2: He cashed the definitely not his first the first win, yes,
the first win whatever.
Speaker 1: Eric Blair aka Blizzer aka Big Vegas Vegas. Yeah, that's
his nickname, really, Big Vegas. Two hundred and fifty dollars
for him. Joey Wiseman second, Justin Saliba, who had the
chip lead in this tournament from for sure, from two
tables down, if not before that, he was crushing the
whole way, just a massive, massive ship lead and just
going all the way down. Things didn't ultimately break his
way when they got down to three he had a
massive blow up. No, he had a massive, massive, massive ship.
He gets third place, Darren Elias fourth place, around Zobian
fifth place in that one. So as the and then
event number five is playing out right now, it got
one hundred entries even, which is a couple entries more
than event number four, So numbers are holding very strong.
Speaker 2: There will be two.
Speaker 1: Hundred and fifty five thousand dollars up top in that one.
We're recording this about an hour before REMCO and I
get on commentary for Day one coverage. But as things
stand on the series leaderboard, Joey Wiseman up on top.
As you might have expected, he's got one win, he's
got three top three finishes, three cashes total five hundred
and six hundred dollars for him five hundred and eighty
one points had he won event number four. I mean,
good luck to everyone else trying to catch him. Not
that it's impossible, but it would have taken a lot.
And what's also of note as it relates to Joey Wiseman,
he skipped an event. He didn't play event number three
because he was heads up with Michael Monsek and he
chose not to enter. Afterwards, Remember Monsig dropped a stack
and then they had a break and he went over
and just jammed every hand. Joey Wiseman didn't play. So yeah,
just I mean, that's that's interesting to me. You know.
So he's played three of the four events. Well, I
mean he played event or five, but he played three
of the four events. In all three of them he
finished either.
Speaker 2: First or second. Yes, he's having a very good series.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and from what I've seen, I've watched all the
final tables, I've obviously been in the booth for the
Day one coverage. He's played extremely well, extremely well. So
I would say watch out for Joey Wiseman, not only
on the PGT but a year long. You know, if
he continues to play like this, continues to be on
his A game catch cards, all that sort of stuff,
I mean, good luck beating this guy this year. So
he's the top leader board five hundred eighty one points,
fairly big gap. Michael Montsek is second three sixty nine.
Then it's Adam Hendricks in third, three sixteen, Eric Blair
in fourth two fifty five, and Harvey Castro runs off
the top five with one ninety four. Of course, the
winner of the leaderboard or the player that tops the
leaderboard have to have two cases. You will win the
twenty five thousand dollars PGT passport bonus. So there's that
that's up for grabs. All right, you talked about the numbers, right,
you talked about the new faces. I mean, I mean,
what you got any other thoughts on the series in general?
How things are going?
Speaker 2: Like, I mean, just today we were I was walking
around and trying to catch some hands, had players talking
about the field sizes and like, you know, what's what's next?
You know, if we keep growing We've been kind of
growing series on series here on. Yeah, we're obviously doing
our best to keep that trend upwards. And they were basically,
as you're gonna fit more tables? Can we play at aria? Like,
what's the solution here? So the players know that it's
it's it's coming that we are working on trying to
figure out it's not really a problem, but it's in
a way, it's a problem figuring out the problem of
not enough tables, not enough space. You know, the obviously
easy solution, you up the buy in. We don't really
want to do that, So you know we're going to
work towards. Obviously, the next real big series for us
when it comes to this is going to be Poker Masters.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: And the reason I say that is I think.
Speaker 1: You're a Debbie Downer.
Speaker 2: You believe I know the poker tournament world back like
the back of my hand.
Speaker 1: Yet you won't. You wouldn't bet me, and I was
giving you a better line than you off. So for
context here Tim is, Tim is saying this because he's
skipping mentioning US poke Ropen. You know the Pokagro Tour
has three majors, Poker Girl Cup, US Proke Open, and
Poker Masters. Poker Masters is always big, yeah, and that's
gonna smash this year. Both you and I. You know,
internally we're telling people like Poker Masters this season is
going to be massive.
Speaker 2: We need to be prepared for it. Now.
Speaker 1: We were a little bit behind, to be honest, because
the Cup is smashing. Good problem to have. Don't get
me wrong, Tim thinks US Poker Open is not going
to be as big as a Poker Grill Cup. You
said it would be down thirty percent. I said they
won't be down twenty percent. And we can go event
for event. I will take less than twenty percent down
in each event for like twenty dollars per event. And
you you just laughed it off like you just didn't
want because you're viewing nonsense. Yet every day, every day
we go in there. I tell Tim that it's going
to get some number. He's like thirty five entries below
what I say, yet is under where it comes.
Speaker 2: To one event three, Event four though I crushed. I said,
today is going to be down.
Speaker 1: And by the way, is that number one event number one,
which at one hundred and seventy seven entries would have
had two hundred had we had space.
Speaker 2: Would have had at least let's still for sure hundred was.
Speaker 1: Going to for sure had two hundred. First of all,
there was twenty people waiting. At least there was get
twenty twenty five people waiting. Other people were re entering.
I'm honestly, I'm curious to see, like if anyone had
a close decision and went one way because they.
Speaker 2: Were because I want to wait.
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean why wouldn't you, right, I don't have
waiting live for an hour? Yeah? So yeah, so I
think USB Pok Girlblin is still going to be big.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, let's hope it speak. The fact that
it overlapsed the seminal event by a couple of days,
it means we will lose a few players. But look,
let's just hope I'm wrong. I always want to be
wrong on this one. So yeah, espn.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's going to be amazing. The thing
is is I don't. So there's also there's there's a
second problem that I think everyone is is overlooking, or
at least it hasn't been discussed yet to my knowledge,
and that is the the length of the field sizes, sorry,
the size of the fields in combination with these majors
have the seventy five K five level back in. Also
in combination with the fact that players in general are
getting better at poker as they go, like it's always
getting better, right, especially these players who are the best
of the best, is always getting better. And then also
like I think the strength of the tour and the
want to perform and compete well in it plays into
the whole thing as well, where the final tables are
taking longer. Yeah, so that's something that also needs to
get addressed. And here's why, I mean, there's for sure.
One reason is when you have a series that's eight
events long, in my opinion, like you have to play
every event, so like really have the best person be
crowned the winner. You can't have people skipping events, so
it's like it's a tricky spot. But it's also tricky
like from a production standpoint, because things are going very
late some nights. Like, it's just it's it's interesting. I honestly,
I don't know any sort of solution. I haven't really
thought about it at all, but I just know that
it's becoming more of an issue. Yeah, I mean, these
things are going to draw out much longer now. Two
nights ago we played till three am. That was on
day one, and then you had the Joey Monsec and
or sorry Joey Monsec, the Joey Wiseman and Michael Monsec
one of their heads up matches last Forever, right, I
mean even today Joey Wiseman played Forever, Like, yeah, you know,
it's just it's becoming weird. Well I don't know what
to do, but it's becoming weird.
Speaker 2: We made one rule change. You know you talked about
adding the one twenty five level that was definitely a
player request. We made one rule change where we're shot
in the levels at three handed, so it's it's it's
TBD time, So if we're running along, it could be
ten minute levels, right, It never going to be, but
we just have that built into the rules. At the
PLO series, we're going to experiment a little bit with
the ten case structures basically going to be thirty minutes
up until like level twelve, So we're going to try
and shave off like an hour of play, which really matters,
like you said, when we're playing late at night down
to the final table. So we're trying to get through
more of the structure without you know, and we can
still try and bring back six players. So we're going
to experiment that with a PLO series and then if
how that goes, will kind of push that into the
no limit holder majors going forward. So yeah, I think
both you know, ask the PGT and are aware of
these sizes hopefully and you know, continuing to grow, and
we have to try and get ahead of some of
these issues that are coming up. We thought we were
going to get ahead of it this series with the
three handed obviously when we didn't expect one hundred and
seventy seven Entrancing Event one one, twenty nine events Entrancing
Event three, both records. Yeah, it's good. It is a
good problem to happen.
Speaker 1: By first, like the first solution that popped in my
mind and I have no idea if this is even possible.
I'm leaning that it's not possible, but I this is
just what I thought of is some.
Speaker 2: Trying to think if I could figure out what you're
gonna say.
Speaker 1: Okay, see if you can think about it, you're you're
for sure gonna say it's not possible. I already know
you guys, but I'm going to whatever you're gonna say.
Speaker 2: Eleven am.
Speaker 1: No, I was gonna say every event needs to be
three days.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's obviously possible.
Speaker 1: It's just yeah, But I just didn't know if it
was like doable from like a like a fitting everything
on the schedule staffing. Like I I hadn't fully thought
it out. I was thinking, like what if you start
events like on day one, you start them at like
four o'clock and they play like a basically a half,
so so each event is like two and a half days. Like,
I have no idea. I haven't like even put this
down on paper and like try to like speck it out.
But that's like my first thing is like all these
events are gonna need to be extended. I know you
and I have talked about like the five k opener
should just have two starting plots. Yeah, like that, you know,
and that's that's more easy to contain. But then once
you like get into the middle of the schedule, it's
like weird because you also have to factor in that.
I think a lot of these players they like in
and out, like it's basically one day, or you make
the final table exact, and like a lot of people
like that, like it's in and out. You get a
lot of quote unquote volume. I know it's not a
ton of volume, but you still get a lot of
volume in a small window. You know, it's good for
recreationals who can pop in for one tournament here or there,
and then it's good for you know, like the Stephen Chidwick's,
the Jeremy austmas Is, et cetera, where you know, you
cram eight tournaments in eight days like boom boom boom.
Speaker 2: Like that.
Speaker 1: That's great. So but but then you start if you
have eight tournaments and every tournaments three days, it's like
everything gets extended.
Speaker 2: So can you even do that? I mean I could
obviously do it, it's just not we do. And I
think the players play our events for certain reasons, and
I think one of those reasons is that we're kind
of offering this kind of one day tourbo If you're
playing twelve hours, you're in the money. If you make
it to day two, you're playing for potentially quarter million
dollars or more. And I do think poker will start
trending that way where it's kind of quicker tournaments, faster structures,
but you get a bigger ROI on time invested, and
I think that's important for obviously for businessmen and VIPs,
it's such a that's important, but I think these players
are understanding that the ROI on time is also important.
And look, there are you know you want your four
day five K World Series has one of those you
know it has multi you know, if you want like
a big ten K with many days and ninety minute levels,
you go find that on a WPT. You can find
those slower things around the country at other times. But
you're kind of coming to us for like, hey, you know,
if you're a say a down elas you coming, you're
coming to Vegas. I'm coming for ten dice. I'm gonna
get eight events in. I'm gonna be able to get
in half a million of buyings if I'm if I
run bad, but half a million of buyings in ten
days and then I can go home for a couple
of months, you know, So you can't really do that
in anywhere else in America. So we offer something that's
very niche. But I think that niche is growing and
we can see that in these numbers, and the field
size is trending up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, I like it again. I'll say,
good problem to have is, you know, the field size
are obviously growing, and you know, Tim and I like
we joke internally with people. We say, you know, we're
gonna make you guys change the set or we're gonna
make you do that. You know, like we're gonna basically
we're gonna make the tour so big relatively speaking to
what we do that you guys are gonna have to
like the set can't be as big as We're gonna
need to fit a couple more tables in here, like
stuff like that. You know, we joke, and it's it's
getting to that point. So you know, good, great, you
and I have to do a podcast on Monday, I
believe because I think the schedules coming out. They put
it on Twitter, that's coming out. Yeah, I got it,
so let's go. So we got that. For those listening
at home, I do want to remind you, we've talked
about it before, I'll say it again that you can
play the play Poker Go Cup on play PokerGO dot com.
We are having one event a day until February nineteenth,
or February nineteenth will be the last the last day
for an event. Four events are done. It was Prostophilia
won the first event, JD Rocket twenty won the second event,
Stone Monk won the third event, and koy Roy Ace
ace or AA won the fourth event. Coy Roy, you
lucky little bastard busted me or sorry, took two thirds
of my chips or sixty percent of my chi, I
can't remember either way. He lim called all in from
the small blind with queensix suited and beat my ACE
four and I ended up finishing in sixth place. It
was just absolutely brueal. I feel completely scammed. It's just wild,
all right. The one thing I did want to hit
on is overall leaderboard. How things are shaken la PGT leaderboard. Yes,
so as you might have expected, Joey Wiseman is is
up out on top, up out up on top up
on top.
Speaker 2: I can't speak.
Speaker 1: So he's up on top seven hundred and thirty points.
He has the three cases, the win and the two
second place finishes from this Poker gro Cup. But then
he also had two cashes from the PGT kickoff series.
So Joey Wiseman is off and running quite nicely. He
didn't qualify last year, right correct, And this year he's
already got seven hundred and thirty points. We think the
line will be right around nine to fifty to one
thousand again. So I mean he's if he doesn't get in,
it's gonna be the biggest upset, right, I mean, how
does he not get in?
Speaker 2: Well, if we've got to make sure he doesn't go
on a trip around Asia for six months like he
did last ye and he'll get in.
Speaker 1: He could go on a trip around Asia for eight
months and he'll still getting Wiseman moving into first place
on the lead board. That kicks Kristen Foxen down to
second place. She's still in second. She had a couple
finishes here, She's up five cashes as well. On the season.
She's got five hundred and seventy eight points. Then it's Jausimau,
Then Eric Blair, then Patrick Leonard. Patrick Leonard was in second,
it was it was Kristen box and first. It was
Patrick Leonard's second entering the twenty twenty five Poker gro Cup.
So Leonard has slid down a little bit. He has
had one or two cashes. I forget the seventh last night,
seventh last night. Yeah, yeah, so you know he's he's
also up to five cashes there are on the season.
There are three players with five cashes at least through
the fourth event of Poker Groke Cup. And those four
are Joey Wiseman's got five cashes. I'm sorry those three.
Joey Wiseman's got five cashes, Kristen Boxin's got five cashes,
and Patrick Leonard has five cashes. So the PGT is
off and running. I love it. Are there any surprises
so far, like season wide, like anyone that's kind of
high up on the lead aboard, maybe somebody who hasn't
really gotten any points yet, like anything that sticks out
to you as it relates to the overall leader, because
now we're including kickoff as well in.
Speaker 2: This, I mean, I think a surprise points wise would
be Michael Manchek obviously not someone we would count on
being at these events, but obviously playing for a good
cop had a good start. He's sitting in six. One
player that kind of two players that really stand out
to me not having a lot of points. One Jeremy
Osmas he had that one cashing event five PGD Kickoff,
but no, he has not anything. He's not running that good,
but you know, he had a good season last year.
Soon he can take some time off. Another guy who
skipped some events to play our events, hasn't cashed yet.
Jeremy Becker break the kickoff, he's breaking the cup. He's
still an event five, but he has not had a
good start to the season. And he is a little
upset that he kind of bubbled the championship last year,
didn't he didn't get to play and he assured us
he's going to make it this year. So surprised that
those two really, you know, haven't kind of got the
results have needed. But you know what season is young,
a lot of time, but you know, kickoff was a
good spot. Probably Cup was a good spot to kind
of start the season, you know, off and running.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would look at Andrew Lichtenberger has gotten off
to a good start he believe he missed out last year, right, Yeah,
he only had live Yeah, he only had five and
sixty five points. He had ten cashes last season on
PGT but ultimately fell short. And he's someone who I
feel like I would almost expect to be in the
top forty already this season. He's at three twenty six,
so more than half of what he got last year.
Speaker 2: So there's that.
Speaker 1: I think Stephen Song is off to a good start.
I think Nick Seward is off to a good start.
Andrew Marino is off to a good start as well.
John all right, Yeah, John Reardon is off to a
pretty good start. You know. John Reardon is somebody I
talked about it, I think on the prediction spot when
he's always here. Yeah, and he had fifteen cases last
year but only was able to muster up five hundred
and eighty points. He's up to one hundred and eighty
nine points already this season, So maybe things are going
to break a little bit better for John Reardon. And
then I guess Manuel Fritz is a good one as well.
And listen, Pads is kind of a surprise. He's always
kind of mentioned possibly playing in the studio at times.
You know, taking to these bigger series on the PGT.
I know he's if anyone follows him on social media.
He loves the whole leaderboard aspect of stuff, especially like
the big online series and chasing like Scoop leaderboards, w
Coop leader awards.
Speaker 2: Et cetera.
Speaker 1: So that is probably something he very much likes and enjoys,
is the leaderboard aspect of what we're doing here, not
only the series leaderboards, but also the the overall season
long leader board. And it helps with someone like Pads
where maybe he was going to take a shot during
kickoff and stuff and then go from there. Maybe you
don't have any success and then you just kind of
go back to doing what you were doing. But it's
like we sucked him in now, you know he I
think I saw on his Instagram the other day that
he was going to be skipping Triton to play PGT
mixed games. You know, so you latch onto those points.
You have so many already you know you're for him.
He's got four or five right now if we think
the number, let's say a thousand.
Speaker 2: So he's forty percent.
Speaker 1: Not the way there. It's still halfway through February and
you have a million dollar free roll at the end
of it all. So it definitely benefits you to play
as much as possible in this stuff. I think Cherish
Andrews is off to a good start. She had a
couple of final tables here at the UH at the
Girl Cup, and then I think I'm surprised that Nick
Shulman hasn't had as much success, but he hasn't played
every event. Yeah, I'm not so much worried about him,
Like he's somebody who also like he's in that camp
of a Let's say Dan and Legrand new Jeremy Osmas,
Nick Shulman, I would put in there, Jim Kaliky I
would put in there, and probably Stephen Chidwick in terms
of and I would say Eric's head out too. They'll play,
they'll play all the different series. You know a lot
of these guys are like just no him and hold
them or you know some players as well, or like
we're just pol Yeah, but you know that group of
players that I'm int and they will be playing everything.
Patrick Lennard two. Actually, you know now that we haven't hooked,
I guess, or at least fingers crossed, we haven't hooked.
He can play it all too so we'll see him,
you know, out there battling as well. So yeah, I
got nothing else?
Speaker 2: Something else? What else? When you talk about fact that
you and me giving away a dream seat, Oh yeah,
we had to into the PGT million dollars Championship at
the end of the season.
Speaker 1: There's maybe if I was giving it away, I would
give it to myself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we're not going to do that because you're
drink it in that good since you know I'm the best.
Speaker 1: Wait, hold on before we get to this, okay, because
you're you're trying to dump on me. I have to
tell everyone about a hand you played.
Speaker 2: Where do you have the right hand history? I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm only going to say the pre flop stuff and
then we can just go from there. Tim is playing
the sixty MSPT at Venetian whatever a week or two ago.
He finished thirty eighth. Somehow, some way after this hand,
this hand is raised under the gun. Somebody calls. The
big line was three hundred, so it's relatively early. Guy
makes it eight hundred. Round of the gun. Somebody calls,
somebody else calls, somebody else calls. Tim's in the small
I think no, because there was four and then ended
up being the two blinds.
Speaker 2: There's six people of total.
Speaker 1: I know you're your hand industry, you don't. Tim's in
the small line with pocket queens and just calls. I mean,
that's all. That's all you need to know, that's all
you need to know.
Speaker 2: Win the hand, yes.
Speaker 1: Somehow, this is why poker is so insane. Not only
did you win the hands, Okay, you won the maximum
because I mean I'm assuming you won the maximum because
if you so, here's let me say how the hand
plays out. You call from the small bline, which is
the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The big blind also calls.
So now there's six people. They go to a flop.
Speaker 2: The flop was five six fall yeah, four five six
four or.
Speaker 1: Five six checks to one of the Ryan calla which
is Ryan the plant, he bets whatever it ends up like,
you end up calling, but also you only lose one player. Yeah,
there's five people, go to the turn. The turn pairs
the board with a five yeah. Checks around the river
is another five yeah. So now there's three fives on board.
So with six five four five five you checked. The
original razor who was under the gun bets he over
bets fifteen k into twelve six, you just call he
has pocket threes. So because if you three bet, he
probably just pitches the threes. I mean, it depends what
you make it. But yeah, I mean I don't know
if anyone else calls or whatever, but like somehow you
won the maximum in this whole set, just an outrageous
I have, yeah, outrageous.
Speaker 2: Thirty eighth place is so pretty good. That come on
places good.
Speaker 1: I don't know how you got there after playing that
hands anyway, continue, Yes, a dream seat.
Speaker 2: There are many ways to win a dream seat this
year through probably got we the podcast Donnie and Tim
with giving you guys, the listeners a chance. Uh, you're
gonna go to PGT dot com slash gleam glean right, Well,
there's two ways. There's two ways.
Speaker 1: You can go to PGT dot com slash gleam g
l e a m Okay, that'll bring you to the
social media dream Seek giveaway. So there's that, okay, and
then Tim is talking about the podcast one, which is
PGT dot com slash gleam Pod. Just put pod at
the end of that and you'll you'll go to the podcast.
There's two different like avenues, you should enter both of
them because then you have double the chance.
Speaker 2: But if you're a listener, why we're sending you to
the Gleam Pod one is that we're gonna give you
a few more ways to get in and was following us.
There's also going to be a secret word every time
we do a podcast, probably once a week, we'll change
the word out. I'm not gonna tell you last week's word.
If you don't have it, you've got to go listen
to the podcast. Donnie did solo this week's word. I
think it's fitting right. We're gonna we're gonna keep both
up each time, so you know, if you're behind the podcast,
you know both. This week's code word is weisman. Okay,
so you go into that, you're going.
Speaker 1: To get need to tell them how to spell it.
Speaker 2: No, they if they should be able to figure out
because they're loyal and we're not going to tell them.
Speaker 1: Because there's a Dylan Weisman or is it Joey White?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good, Pat, it's Joey.
Speaker 1: It's joe Joey. But I said that for a end.
Speaker 2: I forgot I haven't seen them all week. So the
point is basically we're trying to reward. We're trying to
reward the loyal listeners. We're giving the most kind of
raffle tickets for the code word because that means you listen,
you put it in. You can't guess we're going to
change the world all the time. It's not going to
make any sense. Next week it could be MSPT, you
never know. But this week weisman W E I S
S M A N. It's going to get you ten
extra tickets. Last week's go listen if you haven't already
entered it. And we're going to add more tasks. You know,
during the World Series, we're going to add some more
kind of things for you to increase your chances to
be selected. So yeah, go do that. Enter the code word,
and one of you loyal listeners is going to be
playing in the pg T Million Dollar Championship as season's end.

literally tweeted we're released.
