Speaker 1: five K Fantasy. Let you guys know who won if

Speaker 1: and my thoughts on the big fantasy leagues, and then
Speaker 1: we'll get up on out of here. Yeah, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a fun little show. Probably not too long, but
Speaker 1: you know, you know how that is every time I

Speaker 1: all twelve episodes. So if you want to just get
Speaker 1: in there and benjam go right ahead. First up, we
Speaker 1: got to talk on this one K Super Turbo, the
Speaker 1: final event, Event number one hundred at the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: six World Series of Poker, Shi Wong tops a field
Speaker 1: of sixteen hundred and ninety nine entries to claim his
Speaker 1: first bracelet and two hundred and sixteen thousand dollars. Wong
Speaker 1: was very, very happy to get this one. He said,
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for this for a long time. I'm
Speaker 1: so happy, and I'm happy I had my friends here
Speaker 1: to support me. That quote was given to Poker News
Speaker 1: in their recap. Wong defeated Ryuta Nikai in heads up play,
Speaker 1: Nikai taking home one hundred and forty four thousand dollars
Speaker 1: for him. Nikai is a twenty five K Fantasy player.
Speaker 1: But this result, I believe, if my memory serves me correctly,
Speaker 1: did not impact the final standings in terms of who cashed.
Speaker 1: Sarah probably had some some you know, shaken out to
Speaker 1: do as it relates to the side bets that are
Speaker 1: made during the whole thing, but you know, it did
Speaker 1: not impact the people who cashed in twenty five K Fantasy.
Speaker 1: Dmit you your Banovich. He won his bracelet, his first
Speaker 1: bracelet earlier this summer. Here he is getting third place
Speaker 1: here for one hundred and four thousand dollars. So another
Speaker 1: nice little score for Erbanovich. You know, he's We've talked
Speaker 1: about it before, but I'll just mention it again. He
Speaker 1: had that one year when he was like, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: win three bracelets bet against me, and uh yeah, he
Speaker 1: did not win three bracelets, but he has had a
Speaker 1: successful summer in twenty twenty six. I also see at
Speaker 1: this final table Nick Unis, John woo Lee as well units,
Speaker 1: got seventh for thirty one K, lee eighth for twenty
Speaker 1: four K as it pertains too Long the winner of
Speaker 1: this one K super Turbo event. He finished thirteenth in
Speaker 1: the WSIP Monster Stack earlier this summer for ninety three
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, and then previously he had a big run
Speaker 1: back in in twenty twenty one in an eight hundred
Speaker 1: dollars deep stack event at the series. He took sixth
Speaker 1: in that one, turning the eight hundred dollars into forty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. So congratulations too Long winning the final bracelet
Speaker 1: of the Heart of the Summer, I guess because we
Speaker 1: still got the main event to come in in a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. But that wraps up all the bracelet events,
Speaker 1: all the stuff that we didn't hit on. I know
Speaker 1: in the last episode, this event was still running while
Speaker 1: I was recording. Now, let's shift things over to the
Speaker 1: WSP Player of the Year race, where it is Sean
Speaker 1: Deep up on top. At least that is perwsop dot com,
Speaker 1: the official website of the World Series of Poker, and
Speaker 1: that's where I navigate to the Player of the Year
Speaker 1: section and I find that Sean Deep has three thousand,
Speaker 1: four hundred and ten points. I actually thought, or at
Speaker 1: least that was under the impression that Nihoa Kihara, with
Speaker 1: his finish in the twenty five k horse, had done
Speaker 1: enough to move into first place for the Player of
Speaker 1: the ear race, but that doesn't look to be the case.
Speaker 1: He is twenty two points short of Sean deeb Naoa
Speaker 1: Kihara does sit in second with three thy three hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty eight points, so thirty four to ten for
Speaker 1: deep in first. Kihar has got thirty three eighty eight.
Speaker 1: Alex Foxen isn't too far behind. He's just seven points
Speaker 1: behind Kihara. He's got thirty three eighty one. Then there's
Speaker 1: a little bit of a bigger drop off justin Loberto.
Speaker 1: It's I mean, it's not the biggest drop off, but
Speaker 1: justin Liberto twenty eight twenty eight in fourth place, you've
Speaker 1: got josh Aria in fifth. Daniel Legrand who is in
Speaker 1: the mix. He of course won the one hundred k
Speaker 1: PLO high Roller among several other deep runs at the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six Doubsip, but he's in sixth place. Jesse
Speaker 1: Lonus is in seventh, Elis Parson in in eighth Texas,
Speaker 1: Mike Michael Manchek is in ninth, and then Josh Reichard
Speaker 1: is in tenth. There's there's plenty of other players, you know,
Speaker 1: within the top fifteen, the top twenty, the top twenty five.
Speaker 1: You know, you've got Benny Glauser is in eleventh, Nick
Speaker 1: Shulman's in twelfth, Calvin Anderson's thirteenth, you know, just kind
Speaker 1: of scrolling a little bit further down, Chris Brewer nineteenth,
Speaker 1: just ahead of him, Michael mcsrocky in eighteenth. You got
Speaker 1: Archur march Rosian's doing well, Sean Winters in twenty fifth.
Speaker 1: So a lot of big, big names that are highly
Speaker 1: likely to head down to the Bahamas for w SIP
Speaker 1: Paradise and blast away. If I was handicapping this thing
Speaker 1: right now, I'm gonna say that and listen, it's a
Speaker 1: little bit unknown because we don't know what the WSIP
Speaker 1: Paradise schedule is. But because Alex Foxen is so close
Speaker 1: to Sean deeb, he's only twenty nine points behind, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make Alex Foxen the favorite because I think when
Speaker 1: it comes to a lot of the really really high
Speaker 1: buy and stuff that tends to make up the bulk
Speaker 1: of the A Paradise schedule. I'm gonna put fox in
Speaker 1: slightly ahead of DEEB in that regard. Now, if they
Speaker 1: do have one of those eight game events or ten
Speaker 1: game events or whatever that they had, I think Eric
Speaker 1: Wasserson won that last year, maybe the year before, I
Speaker 1: can't remember exactly, But if they have one of those again,
Speaker 1: then then maybe that kind of evens things out for DEEB.
Speaker 1: And I do feel like I'm kind of just throwing
Speaker 1: Niaoikihara to the side here and listen, maybe I am,
Speaker 1: But again, we don't know what they're gonna do with
Speaker 1: the WSIP Paradise schedule. If they keep it in line
Speaker 1: with what they've done in the past, which is a
Speaker 1: lot of really big buy and stuff, if they partner
Speaker 1: with Triton again, you know, all that sort of high
Speaker 1: stakes poker that's going to be played, I have to
Speaker 1: imagine Alex Foxon is the one that's going to excel
Speaker 1: in that sort of format. You know, he's the one
Speaker 1: who again if if Triton is involved, and even if
Speaker 1: Tridon isn't is a involved, but they still have those
Speaker 1: type of events. You know, fifty K's hundred k's a
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty k, whatever the heck. It is
Speaker 1: the types of players that frequent those fields. Those are
Speaker 1: the players that Alex Foxen regularly battles with and regularly
Speaker 1: has a ton of success against. Like Alex Foxen is
Speaker 1: one of the best to ever do it right, Deeb
Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't play as big for example, if they
Speaker 1: have a two hundred and fifty k like, maybe he
Speaker 1: skips that event. Maybe Deeb is a little bit more
Speaker 1: I mean, for lack of a better term, fish out
Speaker 1: of water when it comes to playing with those types
Speaker 1: of players. I mean, yes, Deeb is an incredible player,
Speaker 1: and he can certainly hold his own, but is he
Speaker 1: a little bit more less familiar with some of his
Speaker 1: opponents across the table where Alex Foxen is very familiar
Speaker 1: with them? You know, I'm gonna say Alex Foxen is
Speaker 1: probably the more familiar one in that sort of community
Speaker 1: that's playing these events. And then with Kihara, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's really going to be able
Speaker 1: to go hard at Paradise. You know, he's he's more
Speaker 1: of a mixed game special who I would say it's
Speaker 1: probably mixed games for him, then Plo slightly ahead of
Speaker 1: Nola at hold him. Maybe I have that second part wrong,
Speaker 1: but mixed games for sure, he's like his fancy. So
Speaker 1: are they gonna have a lot of stuff like that
Speaker 1: that Kihara can play, or at least that that favors
Speaker 1: him down at Paradise judging by the past schedules that
Speaker 1: we've seen at Paradise. I'm gonna say no. I mean,
Speaker 1: of course that could change, but so I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: that I just don't know about him. And then listen,
Speaker 1: I don't think you can throw out somebody like Daniel
Speaker 1: mcgrono in sixth place, Jesse Lonis in seventh place, because
Speaker 1: if if those top guys, the Deeps, the Kiharas, the Fox,
Speaker 1: and if they just have duds when it comes to
Speaker 1: WSP Paradise, we know and Grand is going to be
Speaker 1: there firing every single thing. He's already said he's going
Speaker 1: to be there firing everything. We know. Jesse Lonis is
Speaker 1: also going to be there firing everything. So those guys,
Speaker 1: I think you got to put in the conversation, same
Speaker 1: with you know, eighth place, Elis Parson in ninth place, Michael,
Speaker 1: you know right, like, they're going to be blasting, blasting, blasting,
Speaker 1: So it's going to be very interesting. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: a very exciting race right till the end, and it's
Speaker 1: gonna all come down to what happens at Paradise. I
Speaker 1: think I briefly mentioned it last week. There was some
Speaker 1: social media chatter about, you know, how the WSP Player
Speaker 1: of the EURA should end. I think it should end
Speaker 1: with the series in the summer, the WSOP the flagship
Speaker 1: series under this brand. I think that's just a really
Speaker 1: fitting way to end it. I think you kick it
Speaker 1: off with Paradise, that would be great. Then you do Europe,
Speaker 1: then you do the WSP stuff also, like then you
Speaker 1: can award these packages for WSP Paradise for that then December,
Speaker 1: and then you know, hopefully all those people that are
Speaker 1: in this race they go there and they kind of
Speaker 1: kickstart their next go at. The WSP Player of the
Speaker 1: Era's right, So I think that that would be a
Speaker 1: better way to do it. Also, I feel like making
Speaker 1: a I think the WASP did a really good thing.
Speaker 1: When are putting all this money behind it this year
Speaker 1: for the first time, they're really awarding a ton of prizes,
Speaker 1: The formula seems like it's the best it's ever been.
Speaker 1: I think there's been a lot of chatter, you know,
Speaker 1: with is the formula perfect? I mean no, but is
Speaker 1: any formula going to be perfect? Probably not, But this
Speaker 1: is the best THEWSP Player of the Race has ever been,
Speaker 1: both from the outside looking in and then from also
Speaker 1: from what you can gather from a lot of the
Speaker 1: players in the race. You know, they love the prizes,
Speaker 1: they like the scoring, like you know, all that sort
Speaker 1: of stuff. But would you want to end that like
Speaker 1: and like for example, like maybe you know the person
Speaker 1: who it is because the WACIP Actually it's a win
Speaker 1: win now that I think about it. So if you
Speaker 1: do for next year, if you did the delay of
Speaker 1: the final table again where it's off for a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks, they're going to be coming back in August
Speaker 1: and playing it. You're gonna either be able to a
Speaker 1: award and celebrate the WACIP Player of the Year during
Speaker 1: the final table. You can make a whole thing of it.
Speaker 1: You can tell you know, the crew at Omaha Productions
Speaker 1: at at ESPN to hey, we want to make this
Speaker 1: a thing. We want to work it into the show.
Speaker 1: We want to award this player with that prize on
Speaker 1: the biggest stage, you know, so they're going to break
Speaker 1: of the Final table or whatever it is. Maybe you
Speaker 1: do it like entering day two of the Final table
Speaker 1: play and you award that honor, right, you give a
Speaker 1: trophy the whole thing. I think that would be really
Speaker 1: cool also now, because there are a lot of points
Speaker 1: that are up for grabs in the WSIP main event itself.
Speaker 1: I think this year it's nineteen hundred and ninety maybe
Speaker 1: slightly more than that are up for grabs for first
Speaker 1: place in the DOUBSIP main event. Now, I don't think
Speaker 1: that that factors into any of the nine players who
Speaker 1: have made it this year, but in the chance that
Speaker 1: it does in future years, that's a great additional storyline
Speaker 1: that you can really harp on, like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: this guy needs second place or better to be able
Speaker 1: to overtake Player of the Year. It's coming down to
Speaker 1: the death. That sort of sweat would be super cool, right,
Speaker 1: And maybe you I mean, if you really want to
Speaker 1: get crazy, maybe you get the person who's like currently
Speaker 1: up on top to either come out to the Final
Speaker 1: table and watch or do it like NFL draft or
Speaker 1: something and send a crew to their house and have
Speaker 1: that person like bring in the sweatcamp like that would
Speaker 1: be dope, right, So I would really like for that
Speaker 1: to happen and you get to celebrate the WASP Player
Speaker 1: of the Year, which I think that they've made a
Speaker 1: lot of headway in celebrating this award, more so than
Speaker 1: it has been in any other year in the past.
Speaker 1: But let's then really do it by bringing it to Vegas,
Speaker 1: and that's where it ends, right. It kicks off in
Speaker 1: Paradise and then it ends in Vegas and that that's,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, the way to go about it, the
Speaker 1: best way to do it. So we'll see if that
Speaker 1: change comes. I know there has been some chatter online
Speaker 1: and then you know we have seen the WSP obviously
Speaker 1: they've understand this stuff that they hear it, they see it,
Speaker 1: then you know they'll they'll take internally, they'll discuss it
Speaker 1: and they'll go from there and we'll see. But as
Speaker 1: things stand right now now, Sean deeb is up on top.
Speaker 1: He's trying to make it too in a row for
Speaker 1: the WSP Player of the Year title three all time
Speaker 1: if he can do it. But a very hotly contested
Speaker 1: race here deeb up on top, Kihara and second foxin
Speaker 1: in third. Twenty nine points separate those three players at
Speaker 1: the top of the leaderboard and plenty big guns and
Speaker 1: big names still in the mix. A race that has
Speaker 1: been settled is the twenty five K Fantasy League for
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six WSOP season, and it is the
Speaker 1: one the only Daniel Legranu winning his own fantasy league.
Speaker 1: He had thirteen hundred and thirty seven points clear by
Speaker 1: about one seventy or so ahead of David Baker's team.
Speaker 1: Shout out ODB Let's go Buddy. Baker's team was Team Banana,
Speaker 1: finishing in second. Nigron New's team first of all, so
Speaker 1: i'll tell you his team josh Aria Dan and mcgrannu,
Speaker 1: Nick Papillo, Bryn Kenny dong Chen, Jason Kuhn, Ellie Lezra,
Speaker 1: and Ben Lamb. Out of those eight players, it's wild
Speaker 1: that Nigraney won this thing with one player scoring zero,
Speaker 1: and that was Ben Lamb. Now I don't know, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm guessing he just had some misinformation because I was
Speaker 1: in the draft room and I'm pretty sure everyone was
Speaker 1: aware that Ben Lamb was having a kid, like one
Speaker 1: or two weeks or whatever it was into the series,
Speaker 1: and like wasn't gonna be playing, or at least was
Speaker 1: maybe gonna be playing like a couple events. But somehow,
Speaker 1: some way, Ben Lamb's price was fourteen dollars. So Daniel
Speaker 1: was not the only one that thought Ben would be
Speaker 1: playing knowing that, and then obviously it's easy to say
Speaker 1: hindsight is twenty twenty here. But what Ben Lamb ultimately played,
Speaker 1: which I'm not sure he played at all. I can't
Speaker 1: really recall seeing him. Him going for fourteen dollars is
Speaker 1: just a major screw up. But it doesn't matter because
Speaker 1: Daniel one anyway, Josh Arie on his team three hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty six points. Daniel mcgraneo was on his own
Speaker 1: team two hundred and ninety four points. Those were the
Speaker 1: two horses. Nick Pipio did his thing as well, adding
Speaker 1: in two hundred and ten points. Brin Kenny scored one
Speaker 1: ninety three, Dong Chen one fifty, Jason Kuhn seventy three,
Speaker 1: and Ellie Lezra sixty one. This is a team stars
Speaker 1: and scrubs, baby. This is a type of build that
Speaker 1: I would always do when when I was doing twenty
Speaker 1: five K Fantasy. We did not play this year, but
Speaker 1: maybe maybe we'll be back next year. We'll see how
Speaker 1: things go. But try and get one of the top guys,
Speaker 1: which is usually a deep a Daniel Legran who you know,
Speaker 1: maybe you throw someone like a Jeremy Osmonds. I know,
Speaker 1: we paid a record price for him one year, so
Speaker 1: you know, somebody like the super super high of all
Speaker 1: guys who's gonna go for a lot. I think this
Speaker 1: year Texas Mike was was way up there as well.
Speaker 1: So try and get one of those guys. Then try
Speaker 1: and like basically max out on at least the way
Speaker 1: that we approached it. Let me I can just speak
Speaker 1: to that. We were like we can. We're gonna go
Speaker 1: max on one guy whoever we target for that year,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be willing to go up to one
Speaker 1: ninety three and then leave one dollar for seven different
Speaker 1: players to fill out the roster. It's likely that we're
Speaker 1: not gonna have to go max, right, We're not gonna
Speaker 1: have to go one ninety three. So what we'll do
Speaker 1: is then we'll try and get a second kind of
Speaker 1: max player, you know, and in this case for Nigroanu's team.
Speaker 1: His second Max's player was josh Aria, who he got
Speaker 1: for fifty five dollars, so he had himself for one sixteen,
Speaker 1: He had Aria for fifty five dollars. You have two
Speaker 1: Hudred dollars to spend total, and then he filled out
Speaker 1: the roster with two seven, four, one one, and then
Speaker 1: the ben Lamb at the fourteen, which also he might
Speaker 1: have just said fourteen. I can't. I don't know what
Speaker 1: it would have happened. There might have been just his
Speaker 1: last bid held fourteen, which sometimes people do, so that
Speaker 1: that could have had there. So I take it back
Speaker 1: on some of that stuff if that was a mistake,
Speaker 1: but if that was a bidding war, which we could
Speaker 1: check the tape, I'm sure because we did stream this,
Speaker 1: you know. But either way, yeah, this is the type
Speaker 1: of build that I would I would go about. And
Speaker 1: you know, Daniel did the damn thing. I'm sure you
Speaker 1: know he won two hundred and fifty K for winning
Speaker 1: this thing. I'm sure he had plenty of side action.
Speaker 1: Daniel always has plenty of side action on here, so
Speaker 1: he probably absolutely just cleaned up, I mean, just tons
Speaker 1: of stuff. So his his stats are out there on
Speaker 1: how he did for the summer, which was incredible for him,
Speaker 1: had a huge profit, of course, bolstered by winning that
Speaker 1: hundred K PLO high Roller, and then on top of it,
Speaker 1: here he goes and wins the twenty five K Fantasy League.
Speaker 1: I mean, heck, with the way that his w s
Speaker 1: AP season is going, he's probably gonna win Player of
Speaker 1: the Year. Currently in sixth place, and we'll see where
Speaker 1: he goes from there and how it ends up in Paradise.
Speaker 1: David Baker. Yeah, he finished in second place, collects one
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five k. He had the first player
Speaker 1: ever to score five hundred points in twenty five K Fantasy,
Speaker 1: and he got that player for a dollar, a whole
Speaker 1: freaking buck. Niowa Kihara scored five ten. I mean, what
Speaker 1: a showing for Kihara. We talked about it when when
Speaker 1: he won one of his bracelets KR because he won
Speaker 1: two bracelets this summer, about how he was basically giving
Speaker 1: it his last go off for one year, and then
Speaker 1: he was just gonna say, all right, this didn't work
Speaker 1: out for me. Whatever, I'll just I'll still play poker,
Speaker 1: but I'm only just gonna focus on cash games. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna focus on the tournament grind, and here he
Speaker 1: is just absolutely having an incredible year on the Felt
Speaker 1: two bracelets, a bunch of other success for Kihara, and
Speaker 1: as it relates to Fantasy, first player ever to score
Speaker 1: more than five hundred points. Team's Spite Work that was
Speaker 1: Matthew Wantman's team. They got third for one hundred K,
Speaker 1: third place by only three points behind David Baker's team.
Speaker 1: They wouldn't have cashed. I believe if my math is correct,
Speaker 1: if David Peters hadn't won the ten K six max
Speaker 1: that was at the very very end of the series.
Speaker 1: I think it was one hundred and thirty points for
Speaker 1: Peters to win that tournament and that allowed them to
Speaker 1: get up into the money. Here. Team Glue Factory that
Speaker 1: was Dan Cipio's team, seventy five K for him For
Speaker 1: fourth place, Team Lang Gang, Mike Lang and Josh Reicherd
Speaker 1: they scored one thousand even, and I believe with them
Speaker 1: they needed Ari Angele at the end to perform a
Speaker 1: certain result in the twenty five K horse that he
Speaker 1: was running deep in. He ultimately finished in sixth place.
Speaker 1: That was enough to get Team Langang up into the
Speaker 1: money and allow them to cash for fifty thousand dollars,
Speaker 1: so they double their money. There. On the other side
Speaker 1: of things, you know, you had Team Wasserson as the
Speaker 1: lowest score two hundred and eighty eight points. His team
Speaker 1: was just a big hedud all around. Isaac Axton didn't
Speaker 1: score a point. Don't think he played a single tournament.
Speaker 1: Huck Seed I saw him maybe twice all summer. Once
Speaker 1: was in the main event, which is when you usually
Speaker 1: see everyone other than that. Really didn't see huck He
Speaker 1: really didn't see huck Seed much. He only scored or
Speaker 1: he scored zero. Steven Chidwick had a horrific summer for him,
Speaker 1: he only scored nine. Channon Shore I can't remember seeing
Speaker 1: Shannon chore much fifteen points for him. Adam Hendrix didn't
Speaker 1: do much thirty points. Victor Blaum nothing there, forty points.
Speaker 1: Brian Yun did okay, but price wise probably wanted a
Speaker 1: bit more out of him. He only scored eighty three.
Speaker 1: John Turner Pearl Jammer was their highest scorer at one
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven points. He cost a buck, so Team
Speaker 1: Wasp not doing so hot. Team Norri finished just ahead
Speaker 1: of him. They were by far and away the lowest
Speaker 1: point getters. Everyone else got at least six hundred and
Speaker 1: one points or better. Nor He got three thirty and
Speaker 1: Wass got two eighty eight, so they were by far
Speaker 1: and away out of it. As it pertains to some
Speaker 1: of the players that were drafted, I already talked about
Speaker 1: Kihara being the largest point getter with five hundred and ten.
Speaker 1: Alex Foxon was second with four to forty one. Seawan
Speaker 1: Winter was third with four h four, Calan Anderson fourth,
Speaker 1: three eighty five, Nick Shulman fifth, Nick had a great
Speaker 1: summer three sixty six, Josh Arie three fifty six for him.
Speaker 1: Martin Zemani did very well three thirty seven. Sean Deeve first,
Speaker 1: what seventy five percent of the series. Not so good
Speaker 1: for Shawn Deep, last twenty five percent of the series.
Speaker 1: Very good for Shan Deep. He was the most expensive
Speaker 1: player drafted this year, one hundred and thirty three dollars.
Speaker 1: He ultimately scored three thirty one. Chris Brewer ninth, three sixteen,
Speaker 1: and then Justin Liberto and Jesse Lowniz tie for tenth
Speaker 1: on the scoring leader ward three hundred and twelve points each,
Speaker 1: and coincidentally they were pretty much the same price, seventy
Speaker 1: dollars for Liberto, sixty nine dollars for Lous. There were
Speaker 1: six players to score zero. Scott Bolman scored zero, Isaac
Speaker 1: Hackson scored zero, Ben Lamb zero, Jared Blesnick scored zero.
Speaker 1: Blesnick played maybe I don't know, three four tournaments something
Speaker 1: like that, Huck Seed zero and Ben Tollerine zero as well.
Speaker 1: So that wraps up twenty five K Fantasy a fun year.
Speaker 1: They had twenty four teams, which tied the record that
Speaker 1: was set. Definitely makes me want to get back in
Speaker 1: it next year. So we'll see how my motivation, my
Speaker 1: fomo for it comes about, you know, probably around the
Speaker 1: January time. I also think that we should start getting
Speaker 1: some of these going for some of the other series.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll just try and take that up and put
Speaker 1: something together. We'll see, We'll see how it goes. Paradise
Speaker 1: would be a fun one, even like doing it for
Speaker 1: like the win the WPT World Championship at the win
Speaker 1: could be fun as well, But who knows, We'll see
Speaker 1: how things go. But Dani mcgoni wins twenty five K
Speaker 1: Fantasy for two hundred and fifty thousand dollars and then
Speaker 1: in ODB Fantasy the minor league version no uh no
Speaker 1: harm meant there by calling it the minor league version,
Speaker 1: but five hundred dollars version. For the ODB Fantasy team
Speaker 1: they had five hundred and ninety or sorry, they had
Speaker 1: eleven hundred ninety nine teams five hundred and ninety nine
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in the price five ninety nine point five
Speaker 1: to be exact. And it was Alex and Kristen Fox
Speaker 1: who won this thing for one hundred k. They drafted themselves.
Speaker 1: Alex Foxton scored four forty one he was on the team.
Speaker 1: Kristin Foxton scored one sixty two and she was on
Speaker 1: the team. Calvin Anderson was on this team, Martin Zemani,
Speaker 1: Dylan Smith deep run of the main for Dylan Smith
Speaker 1: also want to bracelet. Nick Palmer was their bonus player.
Speaker 1: Scored one seventy three did Nicky p Jim Callapey was there,
Speaker 1: Andrew Lichtenberger and Dan Cpo. So pretty pretty good result
Speaker 1: for the Fox's overall taking one hundred K. There this,
Speaker 1: I mean this, this whole thing was just absolutely out
Speaker 1: of control with how it all resulted. I mentioned Nick
Speaker 1: Palmer scoring one seventy three for the bonus players. He
Speaker 1: was not the best scoring bonus player. In fact, he
Speaker 1: was third. There was two players that scored higher than him.
Speaker 1: Ryan Miller was number one, two hundred and sixty two
Speaker 1: points for him by far and away the best ODB
Speaker 1: Fantasy bonus player to score, and then Miles Malay got
Speaker 1: one seventy nine. He was second. Some of the other
Speaker 1: ones you had, Matt craven Thine one fifty two, Walter
Speaker 1: Chambers and Andrew Moreno both scored one forty three. David
Speaker 1: Lynn won forty one, Eric Baldwin a couple of deep
Speaker 1: runs and some stuff some field bonuses in there, one
Speaker 1: thirty four. Darren Rabinowitz won thirty three. He of course
Speaker 1: won the bracelet at the end, defeating Phil Helmuth. And
Speaker 1: then An Koush Mandavia won thirty two. Frankoush so fun, fun,
Speaker 1: fun fantasy season as always. And now we just we
Speaker 1: turn our sites to the Dobasipy Main Event Final table.
Speaker 1: I told you guys, this one was going to be short,
Speaker 1: and I mean right now we're just at twenty seven
Speaker 1: to twenty eight minutes, so yeah, we're gonna get get
Speaker 1: out of here. I'll probably be coming to you guys.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping at least two more times before the main
Speaker 1: Event Final Table comes our way again. If you've been
Speaker 1: living under a rock, that main Event Final Table will
Speaker 1: recommence on August third. They're going to play August third,
Speaker 1: August fourth, and August fifth until they crown a ten
Speaker 1: million dollar world champion. I want to do something where
Speaker 1: I just kind of run through you know who the
Speaker 1: players are. You know, we we within the production side
Speaker 1: of things, We have bio sheets from all the players.
Speaker 1: You know, we obviously talked to a lot of the
Speaker 1: players along the way. So I'll just kind of, you know,
Speaker 1: do a little run through on things. I think I
Speaker 1: want to kind of maybe try and set some betting nods. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Lucas Jumlan is the big, big, big favorite. In fact,
Speaker 1: he if you take his sack, if you take the
Speaker 1: next three on the leaderboard and add those three up,
Speaker 1: they don't pass Dreamalan. That's how big his chip lead is. Okay,
Speaker 1: he's got like thirty five percent of the chips and
Speaker 1: play It's it's freaking while, you know. But if I
Speaker 1: were betting on it, you know, where would I want
Speaker 1: to bet? Right? And what do I kind of think
Speaker 1: think the odds are, because yes, Jumalan is in the
Speaker 1: driver's seat, but we've seen many times that just because
Speaker 1: you come into the wisp Man event with the chip Ley,
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean you're going to end up in the
Speaker 1: winner circle. So you know, I kind of want to
Speaker 1: just talk about that and then I don't know, maybe
Speaker 1: some fun stuff between now and the final table. Maybe
Speaker 1: get a couple of guests on as well to talk
Speaker 1: about it. Do you want to try and have my
Speaker 1: good friend Jeff Platt on. He told me he'd be
Speaker 1: willing to come on again, so I kind of want
Speaker 1: to talk to him. Maybe we get a little Jeff
Speaker 1: Platt preview of the final table. Also, just talk to Jeff.
Speaker 1: I know he's a listener as well, so he's just
Speaker 1: going to hear this. Just talk to him about how
Speaker 1: the summer went, you know, how well he think he
Speaker 1: handled the parking, right. I mean, that's what we all
Speaker 1: want to know heading into the twenty twenty seven World
Speaker 1: Series of Poker. Thankfully, for Jeff, there is no parking
Speaker 1: that is needed to be dealt with down in the
Speaker 1: Bahamas for Paradise. But that's it. That's the pod as
Speaker 1: always thanks to producer Rich. My name is Donnie Peters
Speaker 1: and I will talk to you guys next time. Jennie
