the Conquistador, as Brent Hanks calls him, won his fifth
w gold bracelet. He won the doubsip Online Event number
eleven thirty two hundred dollars high Roller for two hundred
and fifty three thousand dollars. His other bracelets were Divasit
Europe Main Event back in twenty thirteen. I think he
was nineteen, No, he was. He was not twenty Thwe
was on Yeah, that's right, because it was in it
was in London. I think it was in London. I'm
pretty sure it was in London. No, actually was in France.
I think it was in Can. Sorry, it was in Can.
I don't know why I thought it was in London.
It was definitely in Can. But he won that for
one million euros. In twenty sixteen, he won the Summer
Solstice remember that tournament, Yes, the Summer Solstice fifteen hundred
dollars buying. He won that for four hundred and ten thousand.
Twenty seventeen, he won the ten K Heads Up Championship
for three hundred and thirty five K. Twenty twenty one,
he won the two hundred and fifty k Super high
Roller for three point twenty six five million. This was
one of those live to or sorry online to live hybrid.
That's why I feel like it kind of flew under
the radar. Yeah, because you don't know until like kind
of the day all the day before. I mean, we
get the things the day before. Most people don't. It's like,
i mean, I'm assuming for most people, it's kind of like, oh,
there's a final table. Oh, these people had it. Oh,
Adrian Matteos's heads up first fifth bracelet. Oh, like that's
you know, that's kind of crazy to me. So Mateo's
defeated Alex Koulev, a Bulgarian crusher in heads up play
cool of taking one hundred and eighty six thousand dollars
of Rohan Sanganiya Sega Niea, I'm probably butchering it one
hundred and forty thousand dollars. Jeff Fritz got fourth for
ninety nine. K Anthony who got fifth for sixty six
K Anthony, who's had a couple of nice scores this summer.
I believe last night or the night before, he got
second place in a PLO Bounty tournament over at the
wind at the wind yeah, for like eighty k or something,
and then comes here and collects sixty six k. So
Anthony who having a good summer himself, Giorgio Sotaropolis forty
six k for sixth place, the Jonathan Dockler seventh place
for thirty three k, and Allen Sternberg twenty six k
for eighth place. So this is there's a few of these, right,
there's a few of these online to.
Speaker 2: Lie this five or six at least.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I'm surprised we don't stream those we tried.
I'm surprised. How about this. That's not what I'm surprised about.
I'm surprised WISIP doesn't firmly request that we stream them.
Speaker 2: How about that?
Speaker 1: Right, I mean that would make sense.
Speaker 3: The biggest problem is with that is that we got
the WSP scheduling in say February match, we stopped building
our streaming schedule. The online schedule doesn't come out till May,
so we've kind of built everything it look. You know, yes,
we could pivot on the fly, We do that with
certain events. Anyway, it just does throw a little extra
wrinkle into things.
Speaker 2: And then there's obviously.
Speaker 1: Sprinkles were made to be ironed, buddy, that's wow. Stringles
were made to be ironed. All right, it's a good one.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 1: Just to cut up, I did. I have no idea
if that's already a thing, but it just came to
me and I said it, you know, yeah, all right,
And guess what I own an iron and an ironing board.
So if you guys ever need me, just call, I'll
figure it out for you.
Speaker 2: I don't think we have EVA. We have a steam.
Speaker 1: Both, yeah, but steamer doesn't do it like an iron does.
Its one. Moving on to the seniors championship. Well, actually,
let's rewind. Okay, there are some there are some stats. Yeah,
we should have like a there are some stats. Producer
Rich put that in. I read an article on Poker News.
He became the fifth player I need to see if
I get this right, this is like one of your
crazy cockamamie status. It is the fifth player to win
five bracelets before the age of thirty, I believe is
the stat. Yep. And he's also the fifth youngest player
to five bracelets. I think those were the two stats
I believe. Very tricky, but I think I got that right.
If I didn't blame Poker News, but if I did,
also credit poker News. So either way, shout out poker News.
Speaker 3: I don't know if the age thing is isn't is
as impressive as you know, duration between bracelets.
Speaker 2: I tracked duration between bracelets.
Speaker 3: I think that to me is a little bit more impressive,
because hey, what happens if you started when you're playing
playing when you're thirty? Is that discount?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: Well, it's not. Duration between bracelets shouldn't mean shit?
Speaker 2: Okay, why not?
Speaker 1: It should because it's like they don't say, Michael Jordan
won six titles in this amount of time, but that
is from the second he got into the NBA.
Speaker 2: That is a set season thing.
Speaker 1: So what they need to be tracking, right, if you
were in charge of the WASB stats, or if I
was in charge of the stats to go, I would
track when every single player played their first the event
that should be like like like noted on their profile,
if it noted in the back end whatever like that
should be noted that way you can reference that. Okay,
you know he started playing on this date, was his
first he won his bracelet this much time afterwards, because
then he would have cool things like he just started playing,
So he went and he won his first bracelet within
a month, you know, or he just started playing and
we know that and this is the first ever WSP
tournament he played, or you know, he started playing the
WSP way back when, and it's taken him seventeen years
to win a bracelet, you know, stuff like that, Like
like Matt Vanger would be a good one, who he
talked about yesterday, Right, he's had so many close calls,
he's been playing here forever, finally won his first It's like, well,
when did he start playing? When did he plays first event?
Like that'd be a cool thing to to reference. So
that's a stat that I think that they should keep.
Speaker 2: Can I throw you stat?
Speaker 1: Of course? I'm sure it's going to be incredible.
Speaker 3: Diyo Bronson five bracelets, seven hundred and thirty five days
took him to win five bracelets.
Speaker 1: That's like the first five's first five, that's like two years.
Speaker 2: He's the best.
Speaker 1: But we know they were like seventeen player field.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: Bryceles a brace the second on that list Gary bynes
Berlin seven hundred.
Speaker 1: And he also beat seventeen player.
Speaker 2: Field seven hundred and forty two days.
Speaker 1: I'm just messing, all right. Speaking of first bracelets, Brett
Lim won the Seniors Championship event, his first WSOP cash.
Incredible stuff and it turns in to a bracelet. He
goes from grinding local tournaments here, local daily tournaments here
in Vegas to winning the Seniors Championship one K buy in.
Lim won six hundred and fifty three thousand dollars top
day field of seven than five hundred and seventy five.
He defeated Elon Lapovich in heads up play, Lapovic also
making his first ever w SIPPY Cash. I watched a
stream randomly a couple of months ago out of Texas
where he was at the final table. I think he
cashed like one hundred K. I was like eight hundred
dollars by an event. I've no idea how I stumbled
on this. I was doing some work later at night.
It was on YouTube.
Speaker 2: I watched it, but this was la povid.
Speaker 1: But Lim, I thought, played really well at the final
table overall. Now it does help when listen to this.
Here's a here's a stat for you. I would be
willing to wager that this has never happened in the
history of the ABYSSOPI never same final table, same hand,
pocket deuces, he made quads twice. What I mean, we
can't prove this, I know, but there's no way that's
happened before. Definitely could have happened before. There's no way.
There's no way I will bet on that one. There's
no way, there's no book.
Speaker 2: We can't. It's off the ball. We can't. We can't
prove it.
Speaker 1: There's no way. And he honestly, if if we were
to go back and watch the stream and we were
to tag the time of when he got the first
deuces and the second deuces, I would bet you that's
the shortest time period between I'm dis messing with you.
Come on, it's twelve twenty six, am, bro, Come on, fine,
the same final table, the same It's not like he
had It's not like you could say, like Brett Limb
had quads twice. And it's also not like you could
say like one time he made quad deuces, he had
ace deuce and the other time he had pocket uics. No,
he had pocket deuces both times. Both times he had
he made quads. I mean, that's just ridiculous. Yeah, that's
absolutely ridiculous. So of course, the guy who makes squad
deuces twice goes on to win. Understandable, right, It was
a pretty long drawn out final table. They were pretty
deep overall. You don't, I know, you're not going to
go watch the stream. I'll just give you the cliffs,
got it? You were ship on left, right, and center.
Speaker 2: Why what did I do?
Speaker 1: Okay, this is what I'm gonna have your back? Okay, Okay.
Jeff and Brent were dumping on you all the time
for like the structure and how deep these guys were
and whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I really decided saying they kept referring to
you as the commission Now you are the PGT commissioner. Yeah,
that applies to PGT events. I don't know if Jeff
and Brent know that, but this event was not PGT qualifying.
Therefore Tim likely had absolutely positively zero to do with it, exactly.
They also did complain though, that it was your decision
to stop them early yesterday, thus bringing them back super
super deep at the final table.
Speaker 2: Yes and no. So we wanted to make an I mean,
were they really that deep? No?
Speaker 3: They just yeah, no, they We wanted to make an
audible to the Horse Championship that got vetoed. We wanted
to make an audible to the online event that got vetoed. Okay,
the Horse Championship got vetoed because of Brent and Jeff
were the talent, the useless talent that.
Speaker 1: They don't we know, we know Brent doesn't listen to
the podcast, but Jeff definitely does.
Speaker 2: Jeff has got zero skills.
Speaker 3: Talking about any games that involved more than two cards.
Speaker 1: He is the hr intervention after that.
Speaker 3: You know, we talked about well rounded poker players and
well like well rounded talent.
Speaker 1: He's a straight line. It's all a straight line. He says,
what do you talk? You know.
Speaker 3: That is the reason the Horse got vetom because of
And I've got the proof. I have the message from
the people, the leadership that make the decisions that the
reason we can't do the Horse is because of Jeff Platt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's if you're Jeff. He's just calling the action.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but not very well. He ain't got any infun
and he.
Speaker 1: Can easily bring in and then you have then you
have Brent, who has a fourth place finish in the
twenty five hundred or eight game at the twenty eleven
w s.
Speaker 2: O P twenty eleven was a long time.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, but still, that's that's a game. He
knows what he's.
Speaker 2: Doing either way.
Speaker 1: He knows what he's either way.
Speaker 3: I got vetoed twice. We had to stay with the scenes.
Now why did we bag them up a seven? Well,
we needed some kind of show and one guy had
full three big lines, so then we would have been six.
Speaker 2: So okay.
Speaker 3: Could we have waited for him to boss and then
bag him, Sure, but the decision was it's a bag
him a seven.
Speaker 1: It's okay.
Speaker 2: But you know what, Jeff, if you.
Speaker 3: Were in a straight line and you maybe round those
edges a little bit, you know, we would have got
your way.
Speaker 2: You want to beating the bucks for nine hours?
Speaker 1: The commissions fired up five is all right, So Brett
Limb wins it all. Heads up play was also pretty long.
The whole final table was long, but then heads up
play was also very long. Eventually they come back from
a break. Brett Limb gets kings in against Lapovic's ace jack.
He wins with the kings, then he gets ace jack
right after that gets it in. I forget where the
hand he was against now that I think about it,
But he wins that and he's the tournament champion. Also
at this final table, you have Dennis Carlson, who played
quite chaotic.
Speaker 2: I believe, a fan of the pod.
Speaker 3: Well, he called at the pod and he said something
when we bagged him up about hey, PU pubcasts, I believe.
Speaker 1: Well, then I got to talk to him about this
this King seven hand.
Speaker 2: He probably listen to you right now. Let's go, let's
break it out.
Speaker 1: It was well, I don't remember the exact hand. I
just I mean, the clip is on social media, but
lapovid flops a set of fives, I think on nine
five three or nine to five dudes, and Carlson just
jams the King seven of course la poe, which is
like I call, you know, just drawing dead on the turn.
Or maybe the flop was seven five whatever, either way,
it doesn't matter. No, no, it definitely wasn't because he
never pair. Now, there was another time when he did
get a big chaotic with King three against the player
who finished in fourth place, Jose Bowlicky, where Bowlicky had
a diamond flush straw. Now Carlson did have the best hand,
but an overbet jam on the turn also folded out
that flush straw. So Basically, what I want to say
is that the Seniors final table, it constantly delivers. Yeah,
it is awesome entertainment. I love it. Also, right out
of the gate, these guys are having a bunch of
all ins, and like everyone at the table is standing
up and cheering. Our guy Lawrence that we met the
other day was electric for the time that he was
in cheering, yell and screaming, fist pumps, the whole thing
it was. It was a lot of fun. It was
a lot of fun at this final table. If you
didn't get to watch it, you can go watch it
either pokergro dot com or the poker Go YouTube channel.
It was a lot of fun. So brettlm first place,
six hundred fifty three k, Elon Leopovich second place for
four hundred and thirty five K, Dennis Carlson third place
for three hundred and twenty six thousand dollars. Jose Bolke
fourth place two hundred and forty six thousand, Lawrence Rabbi
Raby probably butchereddet but I'll just stay on both. Maybe
one's right fifty to fifty chance the fifth place for
one hundred and eighty seven thousand dollars. Jason Reels one
hundred and forty three thousand dollars for sixth place, Manny
Schmaden seventh place for one hundred and ten thousand dollars.
He's the one that came back today with four big blondes.
Ron Fetch eighth place, busted the day before eighty five thousand,
and Peter Fellows also busted the day before in ninth
place for six seven thousand dollars. So that is the
Seniors Championship again. Highly encourage you to go watch that
very very entertaining stream. Christopher Tong won the ten K
Horse Championship his first Dibisop gold bracelet. He told Poker
News afterwards that he was a bit inspired by seeing
his friend Philip Sternheimer win his first bracelet. Tong is
I believe he's known as the high stakes cash game player.
That's how I've always thought that he was. You know, obviously,
pops into tournaments here and there, comes out here seeing
Sternheimer win, wants to go chase some bracelets. Boom rips
this one off. In one of the most prestigious events
of the summer, he got fifth place in the fifth
in the fifty k PPC in twenty twenty three. That
was previously his best score. It was right around three
hundred thousand dollars. This one tops it, though. Yeah. He
topped a field of two hundred and seven entries to
win four hundred and fifty two thousand dollars. Maximilian Schneider
took second place for three hundred and two thousand, Brad
Rubin third two oh six, Jason Mercier east Back one
hundred and forty four K, Marco Johnson fifth, one hundred
and four K, Alex Livingston six seventy six K Scott
sever fifty seven K four seventh place, and then Walter
Chambers forty forty four thousand dollars for eighth place. Pretty
pretty sick sick field in that one. I don't think
I need to throw it to you for the PGT
update because it didn't really affect the top ten. Christopher
Tong jumped to like around fiftieth or something like that.
Maybe a little bit further maybe fifty fifth or whatever.
Speaker 3: But yeah, not much changes from uh, from the ten
K Holls Championship, sir.
Speaker 1: I think I think there's probably gonna be some changes
from the fifty K PLO that we'll talk about in
a little bit, but of course that is still yet
to finish, so we won't update anything as it relates
to the PGT lower board until that one is over with.
Let's slide on over to the twenty five hundred dollars
mixed triple draw, where there is history on the line.
How many are left?
Speaker 2: Two left?
Speaker 1: How many?
Speaker 2: Two?
Speaker 1: Uh? Oh? What does that mean?
Speaker 2: Benny is still in?
Speaker 1: Oh? I mean we should we should pause the podcast.
I mean, what are we doing?
Speaker 2: We still might they still might take three hours to
get a winner.
Speaker 1: How deep are they?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Georgia s big bets on the table?
Speaker 1: Sixty big bets. Holy crap, that's a lot. Mitt Schuyler
Thornton up against Benny Glauser. Glaser is going for his
third WSP Gold bracelet this summer. Just an absolutely incredible
feat if he is able to achieve it. If he
does it, he would join Puggy Pearson nineteen seventy three,
Phil Helmyth nineteen ninety three, Ted Forrest also nineteen ninety.
Speaker 2: Three, Trey Braces Three Days, Crazy.
Speaker 1: Shit, Phil Ivy two thousand and two, Jeff Lossandro Your
Boy Can Go two thousand and nine. George Danzer twenty
fourteen definitely deserves an asterisk on that one because one
came in Australia and Scott Severer did it last year.
So that's the group that has three in a gear. Now,
if you wanted to do three at the WSP in
Las Vegas, you would throw out George Danzer and it
would be the rest of that group. So still a
very very tough thing to do. We talked about it
before when Benny won his second that if anyone has
a shot to go on to win three, it's probably
Benny Glauser. Honestly, I'm starting to feel like he might
just win fucking five this summer. I mean, I mean,
the guy is incredible, He really is incredible. But his
heads up right now with Skyler Thornton. Thornton is looking
for his first WSP gold bracelet. Overall, it would be
Benny's eighth WSP goal bracelet if he is able to
win this. Wait, how many bets did you say? We're
on the table. That's not right.
Speaker 2: Well, when I looked at the clock in the last level.
Speaker 1: Six hunder k and Benny's got six million, He's got
ten bets. Skylar's got ten.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they must have leveled up. The average is
twenty one when I was over there three handed, because
that's sixty straight big bets.
Speaker 1: They're not They're not as as deep as you made
it seem. That is what I'm getting at. So this
could this could end tonight. If it doesn't, you know whatever.
If it doesn't, they're going to come back tomorrow.
Speaker 4: OK.
Speaker 1: Fine, it is twelve thirty seven am. Now, if it
does end tonight and we're on the podcast, maybe we'll
hit on it. If not, we can. We can give
it its fair amount of exposure on the next episode.
We can dive into Benny or Skuyler winning this a
little bit more. I believe I heard while listening to
the broadcast today from Jeff and Brent that because Benny
reached this final table or maybe it was a certain
like number of players left, he took over the player
of the Year lead. That was from Brent, and then
Brent also said he should be Player of the Year
because he's won two bracelets. I mean, I kind of
agree overall. I just wish that those stats were updated
basically in real time. I don't see why they're.
Speaker 2: Seems like it definitely should be with the app rant.
Speaker 1: It should on the other there should almost be a
tab like an event in the app that says player
of the year, and like it's just always the standing
so you can check and it's like one of those
ones where like it shows on the screen like the
top ten and then the bottom one is yourself, right yeah,
but like it says like next to you, like okay,
I'm one hundred and thirteenth, right, but you know that,
like okay, I'm this far away, this is where I
currently stand, Like you know that would be yeah, that's
a good So. Yeah, what else we got to millionaire
maker Field sizes in baby check this out. I mean,
this is unbelievable, this line that we set. So Tim
and I had a bet on twelve thousand. I had
twelve thousand and over he had under what tell the
people the number? Also also, let me just say that
this before you read the number and the bed is
not settled and the school comes out, that is true.
You can stack corrections could come in.
Speaker 2: It's more likely to go down though. You do know that,
I know you never know.
Speaker 3: Eleven thousand, nine hundred and ninety six running.
Speaker 1: I mean talk about a line. I mean give me
about a line. I mean, if we have not set
up better line than that one, we've said some great
four off, that's just wild shit. What do you are
you actually playing poker? Are you in the lady sally?
What are you doing?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I'm heads up for the lady's seat with I'm
sweating Tim duck with in the bracelet event where it's
oh chaunde, he's first of nineteen, one of nineteen, just
lost the flip.
Speaker 1: I don't know how he does it. What is the tournament?
Speaker 2: Month three? Six hundred months? A steak?
Speaker 1: What's first place?
Speaker 2: One hundred and twenty five k?
Speaker 1: Jesus? Crazy stuff crazy crazy? This is just played online.
This is yeah, yeah, this is online tive Okay, So
overall the millionaire Maker numbers Day one A sixteen twelve,
Day one B twenty four forty eight, Day one C
thirty five seventeen, Day one D forty four nineteen. I
definitely thought it would be bigger today. I thought it
would for sure, push five thousand all told, eleven nine
hundred and ninety six. As Tim outlined, don't know how
many players are left. They are currently still no, they're nothing.
They're just bagging around now they should be bagging up. Yes, so,
but we don't know the numbers. We don't know the
chip counts. I mean, maybe Tim can check on that.
Can you check on that in the app? Try, I'll
see what's up. But a really good field for this one,
big big turnout last year ten thousand, nine hundred and
thirty nine entries, so they did improve on that.
Speaker 3: I got two hundred, two thousand, six hundred and eighteen
players for Day two. There is chip counts there, but
I don't know if they are everyone's or if it's
just the first three fight the first guy with I'm
pretty sure this is wrong because the chip leader has
fourteen hundred big lines. I'm gonna just exclude him. Francisco
Benitez a million chips. Asha Kniff's up there, he's seventh
in chips. Akron Buzzkat shout out, Mickey Duft.
Speaker 1: Why is a shout out? Mickey Dft, Brian Green.
Speaker 2: It's a long, long story.
Speaker 1: I need to hear it.
Speaker 3: We just do you remember the the WPTA champion. I
think it's erkar Imaz.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Him and Ekron Buzzco are like buddies, okay, and at
every WPT event and every event we worked, we would
always see Akron on the rail, like just always, and
it just became a thing. At every event we would
just see him on the rail and like it would
be like your buddies here, and it's always like, oh Ekron,
like we like we never we had nothing to do
with him, but just became a thing. And he was
always in every at every stop we went to when
we were, you know, both freelancing for w Pete. But yeah,
it's just the thing between me and Mickey really.
Speaker 1: Got it, got it speaking of people on the rail.
Vivik Rashmar is back. Yeah, I guess he's no longer
a random player of the day. He's just going to
be here every single day. I did talk with him
today though that he doesn't really play much poker anymore,
kind of splits his time between here in La maybe
sometimes in Seattle. Yeah, I saw that earlier. I mean,
he's a he's a beast. We're talking about Uri Rackenstein,
Baby No Steven song already bagged a crap ton, Boris
Angelov bagged night. I'm just saying the song bagged one
hundred and eleven big blinds. Boris Angelov, I think bagged
eighty big Blinds and seventy seventy and URI's got However,
may chips, the boys are doing. The boys are.
Speaker 2: Doing about Shulman. Are you Shulman in there?
Speaker 1: Shoreman in there?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Oh, Jeremy was in there. Bagged Jeremy. I don't know
he was in there earlier. Sixty bigs six day. Just
get us three field bonuses. For the love of god,
what happened to your boy? Did he get dusted?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, he lost the flip? No, but he's
still in. But he's come on, he's still in.
Speaker 1: For everyone out there that doesn't know Sean Deep plays
dot com as Tim Duckworth theorth you've already talked about this.
It is already out there.
Speaker 5: Did you don't see my tweet? I said, did you
not see the tweet? I just know I don't have
my phone because it's the podcast. I'll tell you what
it is. I said, I screenshot the lobby with me
in first and the price.
Speaker 2: I said, this is my time. Let's fucking guy do it.
That's fun I know you do it.
Speaker 3: It was like grab and then I'm like, it's Sean Day,
but like and it's funny, Like if he wins and
it's my user name. You know, maybe I get the
fucking us article Tim Duckworth wins first bracelet for Team Media.
Speaker 1: You never know, So I would guess I'm just gonna
quickly punch some numbers into the old calculator year. And
I think I feel like this is a trend. You
can correct me if I'm wrong, But they expected more
from these multi flight no limit events monster stack million Maker,
mystery millions, et cetera, because they added a flight. Yeah,
if you just take the final three flights from this
year and add them together, it's ten three hundred and
eighty four last year, as I said, nine and thirty nine,
So that's that's actually down, and then you obviously make
up for it and then a little bit with that
other flight. But I thought that they would have like
they would have basically wanted to get like much closer,
just like kind of grow year over year and then
get a real big boost from the other flight. I
don't know, Maybe I'm just wrong in that assessment.
Speaker 2: I mean, we've discussed this before.
Speaker 3: You you're making these players spend more money, and there's
not that much money for the everyday man that is
feeling these fields. The guys coming from Minnesota, coming from
the Dakotas or whatever. They mainly have two buyings for
a monster stack. You know, we talked about the colasses
buying going out from four hundred to five hundred, and
you know, between you and me, whatever, it's just one
hundred bucks.
Speaker 2: It's a massage.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of money. But to some people, that raallenge.
How rich is this guy? Look, it's getting massage.
Speaker 3: Forty minutes, two dollars a minute. That's eighty dollars. You
got to tip them. That's that's one hundred. You give
them a hundred dollar bill.
Speaker 2: It's very easy.
Speaker 3: I've spent more money on massages this World Series and buying,
so that's that's kind of sad. But yeah, so that's
you know, that hurts, so like, yeah, they're not getting
that big increase. They're getting a small increase. But when
you're adding flights and there's so much poker to be played,
not just here at the World Series but all over town,
you know, not the money's not swimming, you know for
these players. We talked about the high role, the numbers
absolutely crushing two different player pool You have to think
of it completely differently. You look at the Colossus is
different to the monster stack, is different to the million maker.
You know, so you have to really think a little
bit harder and understand that fifteen hundred dollars is a
lot of money to guys that are just you know,
working a normal job and taking that one shot at
WSFB glory.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you. The fifty k PLO high Roller.
It is playing down towards a final table. I don't
know if they're actually going to get there tonight.
Speaker 2: No, we're bagging him up at the end of this level.
Speaker 1: Bagging him up at the NS level. How many are
left right now?
Speaker 2: Eleven? Right now?
Speaker 1: Okay, they did get up to one hundred and ninety
four entries. There were one hundred and eighty seven last year.
So nice little uptick there. Just lost Eric Sidell in
twelfth place. Stevie Chidwick looks like he's just absolutely cruising.
I think he hit a one hit a one out.
He did hit a one out of Alex Fox, my gosh,
hit a one out on Alex Fox and just wild stuff.
Nine point two million dollars in the prize pool, two million,
one hundred and forty six thousand dollars is going to
go to first place. Steven Chidwick is going for his
third bracelet. He is the current chip leader. He has
previously one very big buy in PLO tournaments as his
other two bracelets. In twenty nineteen here in Vegas, he
won the twenty five KPLO for one million, six hundred
and eighteen thousand, and then last year at WSP Paradise
he won the fifty KPLO for one million, three hundred
and fifty seven thousand dollars. The plan is to stream
this one on Sunday, June twenty second, kind of TBD
on time. It probably depends on when they finish. It's
going to depend on how many they come back with
playing down to final table and all that sort of stuff.
So keep yourself posted to the various poker Grow social
media channels. Also to pokergro dot com slash schedule. You know,
that's where you'll see all the stuff updated as soon
as we have it. This guy right next to me
is gonna plug it in. I'll get it out on
social media. We'll let the people know. So we talked
about Stephen Shidwick. He's left baoding is doing well Richard
Grico is in there. Kakwan Lao is also doing well.
Kwan Zao on Lindy Yoni youk Mining is off the
golf course and actually winning some money. He's what, Yeah,
he's out, he's out. All the chip counts are wrong.
The chip counts are wrong. I don't have the app.
The app that would actually be cool, that would actually
be go. I was standing over there watching a little bit,
and he happened to win a pot, and I was
kind of thinking, like exactly, like that would be cool,
Like you know, this guy's kind of thrust himself into
the spirelight. So we'll see how this one plays out.
Of course, Sunday, June twenty second on Poker Go time
is TBD, but it'll probably start somewhere in the window
of I'll say earliest absolute earliest, three or four or
like six, So somewhere in that window time zone, hard
time zone.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, do we need the planes and the
graphics from producer?
Speaker 1: We're not, We're not no plane.
Speaker 2: Did you say that he did a good job.
Speaker 3: He did a great job with that, with the spinning
clocks on the plane, with my face on it. A
plus Okay, I don't think it's gonna it's we're not
gonna started early. This one is definitely gonna be a
five pm Pacific time stream. The question is more, do
we need to play another hour before we start the stream.
These guys are pretty deep, So that's how on the
consideration I think. Right now, let's check out the mini PPC.
Check those chip guns for me. Please just check the
chip guns for me. Oh my, check the chip baby,
John single fourth and chips Baby. Come on, give me
the baby boy. Come on, Nicko. Yeah, that's one hundred
and fifty four.
Speaker 1: That's my ballance good old Nico milgrum Baby. Let's go.
Four hundred and nine entries this year and this one
it had three hundred and seventy nine last year. So
another event on the twenty twenty five wasby schedule that
is up year over year.
Speaker 3: You know, there's people at homes like who is this
Nico and Milgrim? Who's Urie Riches? And who are these
people talking?
Speaker 1: They're freaking superstars now, Okay, know the these people once
they get drafted on our team, they go off to greatness. Okay,
that's what they do. They just go off. We we
welcome them in. You know, we teach them how to
fly a little bit, and then they just soar away.
Next thing you know, they're they're John reared in fifty
four dollars in the fucking.
Speaker 2: Fantasy King John, unbelievable John.
Speaker 1: He cashed over there in the in the fifty K
pl O shocker twenty hundred K. Yeah, I mean he's
a crusher. The fact that they stole him from us is.
Speaker 3: That someone else that's has got a decent second is
three K. We should talk about who Philip Helmet.
Speaker 1: Oh, Phil Helmuth.
Speaker 2: We had an interaction with Phil Helmet today. We did.
Speaker 1: You and I were over at all. We had to
go to the studio for an event with Global Poker.
We're over there, we're doing our standard walk over to
Starbucks and we're sitting there waiting for our thing. Walking
right up behind us is Phil Helmuth just comes in, Hey, boys,
what's going on? Blah blah blah whatever. We shoot the
ship for a little bit. He grabs his coffee. As
you guys know, I'm not like blowing him up or anything.
He posts his room every time he stays it our
He's always got the corner suite. You know the whole thing.
You know, he gives you a whole room tour, like
all of it, so people know he stays at all
y of course, so we're talking whatever, He's like, all right,
I'm gonna go play the fifty k plo. He gets
his drink, he starts to walk away. He gets both
three steps away. He turns around and goes, oh, we
need a photo, comes back, buses phone out selfie, boom, Rich,
Now you can work, Rich, Now you can put you
put right here. And I know Rich did message us,
and he said to you and I he said, like,
you know, imagine what do you say exactly? Imagine imagine
showing this photo to yourself in two thousand and three
and listen, Yes, it is great. Crazy. I still think.
Speaker 3: It is probably thought, man, I can grow a mustache.
That's just not that man, what's that mallet?
Speaker 1: You've got the up We've come a long way, sir,
We've come a long way we have, and it's very cool.
It's not lost on me in the slightest And the
hammuth is just he's such a character. I mean, is
I want I gotta know I should We should ask
him one time? This this like what who taught him
to do this post?
Speaker 3: I bet you it's someone like Gary Vee, someone that's
got incredible cloud that says you need a pose and
you need to own the pose forever, and.
Speaker 2: They and then he probably gave it. Phil a few
different poses.
Speaker 3: It feel was like he tried some and he's like, oh,
this one feels quite natural.
Speaker 1: So then he all goes with the only other person
that I know how to pose in poker was Mike Sexton.
Look at all of Mike's photos. He's doing the same
thing with his hands, the same exact smile like Mike
did that, Okay, and it was great. Phil's is a
little weird and kind of corny, yeah, you know, but
that's also what makes it so unique for Phil. Now
there's another Phil who has a little bit of a pose. Now, no,
well he has Phil Ivey. He has no he does
of the four's things. I have no idea what that is,
but he does it all the time. Choice isn't anything
about fours. They have something where it's like four four
four fos. Maybe I don't. I don't think it is.
But still Ivy just started doing it out of nowhere,
and now he does it and like when when fans
take photos and he's just like boom.
Speaker 2: Maybe he's just like doesn't know what he's.
Speaker 1: Just No, that's that's a conscious thing that he's doing.
So so we got to ask Phil about his pose,
and then we also got to ask you know what
I feel like. I feel like it's his quote unquote besties.
They were all up in Silicon Valley, you know, Shama,
David Sachs, all those guys, and they're they're playing some
high stakes poker and they're like, Phil, you need a pose.
And then they came up with this stupid thing. And
I wouldn't even put it past him that they did
it so that they can laugh at him every time
they see him in a photo. It's like a funny joke. Anyway.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of us, we love you, Phil.
I think a lot of us have poses when we
take photos of people. Do I often do like the piece.
Speaker 1: It's not as like he's turned to the side, like
it's almost like tuta, I he I'm here.
Speaker 2: That's very good, I'm here. I like that.
Speaker 1: It's like he does it in the winners.
Speaker 6: But I remember when he won the USPO event, he
was like, it's just oh, man, I love it that
there's just this is why you just need the characters
and poker like, it's just so great you get all
these wackos in the game, us included like we're wackos to.
Speaker 1: You have a community Cards segment, So start dancing.
Speaker 4: Attention, attention, good morning, good afternoon, and good evenings with
the Poker Radio audience near and far. It is now
time for a brand spanking, spiffy and new shout out
to some of our most loyal listeners who likely got
a bit too lucky on the way to the spotlight.
You're listening to the number one poker show in the land,
and it's time for a new edition of the Poker
Gold Podcast Community Cards.
Speaker 1: What is it is? Yours? Like a long thing?
Speaker 2: A little bit?
Speaker 1: Can I just give my quick shout outs?
Speaker 2: Then?
Speaker 1: First, okay, First, yesterday, Mark from Missouri popped in. He
I'm I kind of jotted down the story quickly, but
I couldn't quite gather it and I was on my
way out, but he said that if I remember correctly,
that basically he like was at lunch with his daughter
and he's like, get your bag, we're going to Vegas,
and like like left lunch and came to Vegas. I
don't know, like crazy. And then today I met Gary
from San Diego, who I took a selfie with last year.
He came up to me this year and he said, Hey,
don't want to bother you, And I said no, and
I'll say it again, bother the f out of me.
I love talking to the fans. I don't care. I mean,
maybe there are a few times that I'm on a
call or something like that and I'll tell you, okay,
hold on, But most of the time, come up, let's chat,
you know.
Speaker 2: Chat to us for sure.
Speaker 1: So yeah, but anyway, Mike Gary from San Diego, he
was out here, played a couple events, I think. He
said he basically comes out here for two weeks every
single year. He's at the tail end of that. He's
going to head back to San Diego and look forward
to next year. He was raw on a few different tournaments.
He was checking in on the seniors. He had a
glass of wine. Looks like a great guy to hang
out with and have some fun with. So shout out
to Gary. Also shout out to Mark from Missouri.
Speaker 3: Quick side not I tweeted out that I was I
have a chance to win a bracelet. Everyone's messaging me.
People were messaging me that I've told them that it's
not me well licking the tweet. But I hope you're
just supporting the dream. But Sean Dave to win this
price and give it to make is that's what shit.
That's the only fair thing. Two quick community cards, one quick,
one long first one bad. I got bad beat by
a podcast listener, Kaitlyn jeff Jeffers. She works here a WSP.
She called my all land with middle pair and a
flush show. I had a straight show and she beat me.
So I just want to throw that out. Didn't like that.
Speaker 1: That was a bad beat.
Speaker 2: That's my bad beat.
Speaker 1: So you had a draw and she had a pair.
Speaker 3: You she had a pair and a flush shows. Yeah,
but she had the eighty six. I had eighty seven.
Eighty seven is better than eighty six. So I'm just
a little mad about that little.
Speaker 1: So it sounds like you were the one trying to
deliver the bad beat.
Speaker 2: But the real story here is I was out. I
was eliminated.
Speaker 3: I was walking around doing, you know, doing a bit
of clean up. A lady called me over and they
were Cheryl. She goes I was talking to. She was
sitting with David King who works with us, Jesse Full
and some other also some other pub going boyees, and
she was like, oh, I thought that was Tim. I
was going to go say, look Tim from the podcast.
I came over, said hi, nice to me. He's like, oh,
I'm a big fan. I've been listening to you guys.
You know, I really enjoy your stuff. I'm like, oh, awesome,
thank you know, thank you for listening. I knew there
was one of you out there. I went we had
some of the old podcast outs, so I gave her
an old podcast out see. It opened up on a
table and I said, hey, Alan, can I re enter
the tournament without ranentries. He's like, of course you can.
So I sit down on her table. We played a
couple of parts against other. She's super nice. She's from
Georgia but lives in Alabama. I cannot say she's Cheryl
from Alabama. She doesn't like Alabama. Supped to move because
her husband's from Alabama, so she wants to be Cheryl
from Georgia. We're playing a little bit and I'm like,
we're just we're just talking a little bit, and I
asked her, who you know, who's your favorite poker place? Okay,
with a little I had a little sick little plan
here talking to her. She was like, I love Daniel,
I love Phil. I love you know this, I say,
She's like Chance Corners my boyfriend.
Speaker 2: I love Chance Corner. So knowing that, I fold my hand.
Speaker 3: I go into little cabinet where we put all our stuff,
and I knew I had a plethora of sign pictures.
Speaker 1: Thora.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to get that way in. What is that?
Speaker 1: What is that word? It means lots fancy, it means yeah.
I say plethora because I have a weird accent. It's
not a weird accent. You're not even trying.
Speaker 3: I'm Australian. I'm aw I'm allowed to say what I
want to say. Might have went over there, Oka, wrap
this up.
Speaker 1: That's Benny for sure.
Speaker 3: I get a picture sign picture of Daniel Ograno from
Piestakes Poker. I get a sign picture of Phil Hellmuth
from when he won his bracelet at the Rio. Remember
those portrait shots that our photographer Antnio put in A
nice thing.
Speaker 2: I said, hey, you know you're a big fan of
the podcast. Here you go.
Speaker 3: Gave her the photo she was wrapping. She just arrived
into town. She checked into a room with the Horseshoe,
sped over to the Pogo studio to play this event.
She had a podcast hat, she got two signed pictures,
and I think she had a lot of fun. I busted,
Actually I didn't bust. I gave my stack to someone
and then it was another team to lose. No like
they wanted to play. I was like, I just take
my stack. I've already played. That's that's my tournament, and
do what I want. And I heard that she was
talking about the pictures in the podcast and me and
you and what a great time she's having on her
first name in Las Vegas, So Sheryl from Georgia.
Speaker 2: But lives in Alabama. Thank you for listening.
Speaker 3: And any of you out there, like we've kind of
touched on, if you see us or want to come

pretty big restart in the Milli Maker, So I'm going
to take up a lot of tables here at the
Horseshoe and then it's probably probably actually my resign in.
Speaker 1: Paris the million Maker. Yeah, well, it was interesting today
that they moved everyone to Paris.
Speaker 2: They started in't hear that right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the other days they were going from Paris
to here, got it, So it was or maybe they
just stayed in here all but but today they ended
up in Paris, got it. I thought that that was
just a little bit interesting. All right, cool, Well, that's
