Hello everyone. Welcome back to a

1:14

new episode of The Poker Go

1:16

Podcast. My name is Donny Peters. I am joined by

1:19

Tim Duckworth. Tim

1:21

underscore underscore Duckworth on

1:24

X slash Twitter now.

1:26

How you doing, buddy? You got a new name. I

1:29

did. I got finally pulled the

1:31

trigger by forceful

1:33

way of you and Matt Savage. But

1:36

new Twitter name. I still want to try and

1:38

buy my actual Twitter

1:40

name. So I'm going to send this guy

1:42

a message on LinkedIn. See if he'll

1:44

take, I don't know, maybe 500 bucks.

1:47

That might get it done. I would start

1:49

lower, but okay. Well, I

1:51

think he works in finance

1:54

in Hong Kong. So I think the

1:56

floor is already raised that 500 might

1:58

mean. absolutely nothing to him.

2:01

Yeah, I mean, who knows? It's my best

2:03

and final. Well, you

2:06

can come with the best and final. Maybe we'll start

2:08

like a GoFundMe for our listeners to

2:10

contribute to the... Oh, that's a good idea. ...to

2:12

the Tim Duckworth to get his

2:14

X slash Twitter name back. I

2:16

still don't want to fully call it X yet.

2:19

I have to still call it Twitter. I

2:21

refuse to call it X. But

2:24

listen, I welcome the change because trying to say tram

2:26

stop with a zero in there, it's just, it doesn't

2:29

work. This is a little confusing though. You seem

2:31

to say double underscore.

2:33

Yeah, but I'm already Donnie underscore Pierce. Yeah,

2:35

we need a... What's

2:40

the Aussie slang for double underscore? Because

2:43

you guys go like double X, blah, blah, blah.

2:45

Like when you spell things out, you say them

2:48

a certain way. Yeah, I don't

2:50

have one. Double underscore sounds... We

2:52

would probably say dash dash. Maybe

2:55

dash dash. It's not a dash. I know.

2:58

I know. Okay, okay,

2:59

all right well listen it's been a minute since

3:02

we've been on the poker go podcast

3:04

but we are recording Friday, September 8th.

3:07

A lot of things to talk about. There's been some something

3:09

moving and shaking around the industry.

3:12

I think chief among the headlines is the

3:15

WPT world championship announced

3:18

its guarantee on the prize pool and

3:20

it is a whopping $40 million. We're

3:22

gonna talk about that. We get the NAPT

3:25

is back.

3:26

It's been forever. Poker Stars is bringing

3:28

it back. They're bringing it to Las Vegas. We're

3:31

gonna talk about that EPT Barcelona. Speaking

3:33

of Poker Stars EPT Barcelona wrapped up across

3:36

the pond.

3:37

High stakes poker season 11 has been running.

3:39

If you haven't been watching it, it's

3:42

probably the best season of high stakes poker

3:45

maybe ever definitely

3:47

of like of the new

3:49

age of the modern high stakes poker because it took

3:51

that break. But

3:54

I mean it's up there and there

3:56

is a fold from John Roberta Belon that

3:58

happened that is just the

3:59

most ridiculous fold I've

4:02

ever seen. And then we're gonna just hit quickly

4:04

on Sean B because he posted a

4:06

bet update.

4:07

I don't know, it doesn't seem so good for Mr. D.

6:58

40 million dollar guarantee Tim

7:01

and I heard

7:03

From the underground that 40 million

7:05

was the number At

7:08

least for me. I won't speak for Tim. He can speak for himself

7:10

in a second But for me it was always like that

7:12

sounds insane

7:14

I'll believe it when I see it because you oftentimes

7:16

you hear a lot of stuff

7:18

in the rumor mill going around the industry

7:20

you know and

7:22

Sometimes it comes out.

7:24

Yes, sometimes it comes out Different

7:27

very much different than what was planned

7:29

Hearing 40 million was like wow, they're really

7:31

gonna go for it this year

7:33

last year It was a 15 million

7:35

dollar guaranteed prize pool on the ten thousand

7:37

four hundred dollar world championship They ultimately

7:39

got a smidge over twenty

7:41

nine million in the prize pool this

7:44

year

7:45

They're

7:45

way more than doubling the guarantee. This

7:47

is just out of control. I'm

7:50

super surprised

7:52

Both pleasantly

7:55

and kind of like wow, they they really did

7:57

the damn thing. So I mean what it was your

7:59

kind

7:59

of initial take on everything. My

8:02

initial take was, damn,

8:04

that is a big number. And

8:07

it's very obvious that it's

8:09

game on. WPT, WSOP,

8:12

they're going to war. I actually wonder

8:14

if we wind it back to

8:16

say, you know, July 15th,

8:21

if WPT were planning on 40

8:24

or they had a different number like, you know, 25

8:27

or 30 million, something like very achievable.

8:30

And then with the news of WSOP Paradise

8:32

stepping on their turf of December, they

8:34

were like,

8:36

that's it.

8:37

Let's blow it up. Let's go big.

8:39

And then they decided to up it. I'd really like

8:41

to have been a fly on the wall in California

8:44

in the WPT offices to

8:46

see, you know, to read the room when

8:49

that news kind of broke. Well, I feel like

8:51

the WPT probably had a good idea that

8:53

WSOP was coming with the Bahamas stuff.

8:57

So once they got their idea, I

8:59

mean, they probably floated around some numbers. I mean, we don't

9:01

know for sure. One thing that I definitely

9:04

want to do is get our

9:06

good friend Matt Savage, who is the executive tour

9:08

director of the World Poker Tour, get him on the podcast

9:11

in the coming weeks. Likely get

9:13

him on after Poker Masters wraps

9:15

up. You know, that's going to kick off towards

9:18

the end of next week, but about

9:20

a week from today, a little bit less. But once

9:22

that all wraps up, maybe we'll get him on the podcast

9:24

to talk about WPT World Championship.

9:27

Certainly

9:27

want to get his voice on

9:30

here. He is a listener of the podcast, good friend

9:32

of ours and somebody very much tapped into the

9:34

industry, of course, and being so closely

9:37

intertwined within the WPT family.

9:39

It'll just be a good, good person to have

9:42

on where we can bounce some questions off of the he did do

9:44

a space. Did you tune into that? Not

9:47

live, but I listened afterwards and

9:49

I have many questions. Okay. I

9:52

mean, I took a whole bunch of notes, did

9:54

my research, a bunch of stuff that I want to

9:57

pose to Mr. Savage if he's.

9:59

willing to come on, which I'm sure he is.

10:02

He's already expressed interest too. But

10:04

yeah, listen, $40

10:06

million is bananas. Now

10:09

I will say this, it's,

10:12

and this is gonna sound like a slight, I hope

10:14

it's not really taken like that, but I

10:17

don't know, I can't always help

10:19

but think that,

10:22

to me, the WSP main event is still the biggest

10:24

tournament

10:25

in the world. The numbers clearly

10:28

show that. Now, the WPT

10:30

World Championship,

10:31

for whatever reason you wanna pin it to,

10:34

gets way more love than the WSP

10:36

main event. And you got people coming out there

10:38

that are saying, WPT set

10:40

the record for the prize pool, which is not

10:42

correct. Well, they set the guarantee. They set the record

10:45

for largest guarantee, yes. But

10:47

they didn't set the record for the prize pool. WPT

10:49

gets 80, 90 million, or sorry, WSP gets 80, 90 million.

10:52

So let's just not get

10:54

too much ahead of ourselves. I love

10:57

the WPT World Championship. I think it is an incredible

10:59

event. Outside of the World

11:01

Series of Poker main event, there is nothing close

11:04

to this in the poker world.

11:06

I mean, I can't even think something that's come even remotely

11:09

close. Let me ask you one question real quick.

11:12

Let's assume they hit 40 million.

11:15

Let's assume they hit 50 million. Let's assume

11:17

they hit 50 million. I don't think they'll hit 50. I

11:20

mean, I can be wrong. I didn't

11:22

think they would hit as high as they did last year. I thought they would

11:24

hit the guarantee. I

11:26

think I thought that they would approach 20 million. When

11:28

is the last time

11:30

the WSP didn't have

11:32

more than 50 million in the

11:34

prize pool? For

11:37

the main event? Yeah. Do you know this

11:39

number? Yeah, yeah. I have the

11:41

stats, come on. I mean,

11:48

Oh, so close. 2005 was 52 million, 2004, 24 million. I

11:54

was gonna say one, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Let's

11:57

hold the reins on using the word biggest.

12:00

I mean, I don't think the biggest guarantee yes,

12:02

just as a quick aside. I don't think the WSP mean

12:04

events I Mean maybe not

12:07

ever but the chances of them ever

12:09

going back below 50 million is like the slimmest

12:11

chance in the history of poker As far as I'm concerned. It's gonna

12:13

take some sort of catastrophic event. So

12:16

well Yeah, 2020 it

12:19

was 13, but that doesn't count 22. It

12:21

doesn't count. Yeah, I know. Yes I

12:24

agree, but still like it is a risk guaranteeing

12:26

a prize pool

12:28

like of this obscene amount

12:30

of money that both companies the win

12:32

and obviously WPT are taking on a

12:35

big chunk of risk because yeah, you just

12:37

don't know what might happen You don't know,

12:39

you know, it's hard to predict. Are they really gonna

12:42

hit? What do they need? An

12:44

insane amount of players right? Five thousand, you

12:47

know bit over five thousand players so

12:49

I Really hope

12:52

they crush it.

12:53

Yeah, I mean just some some quick notes from listening

12:55

to that space The

12:57

other day the one that was led by Matt Savage.

13:00

He had Ryan Beauregard on Angelica

13:03

Hale from the WPT side much

13:05

other people They mentioned the tables

13:08

So last year Ryan

13:10

Beauregard who is who runs he's the director

13:13

of poker operations I believe is his title at

13:15

the win runs everything at the win

13:18

172 players last year

13:20

when you included the tables

13:23

Both in the poker room and then right in that space outside

13:26

this year. They're gonna bump it up to 256 tables They're

13:30

gonna have two additional ballrooms that are gonna provide,

13:32

you know about an additional 70 tables So

13:35

they're gonna have that available If

13:37

you've played poker at the win Then you

13:39

know that oftentimes their tournaments

13:41

take place in the area right outside

13:44

the poker poker room But

13:46

for the WPT World Championship, they went

13:48

and got actual ballroom space kind of

13:50

on the other side Of the encore

13:52

property tons

13:53

of ballroom space super nice Obviously

13:56

as you would expect from being at the win a very

13:58

luxurious property. So I'm

13:59

They're going to have two additional ballrooms over

14:02

there, which is pretty wild. I mean, we

14:04

know how big the ballrooms were that they were in last year,

14:06

or at least the main ballroom. And then they had some other

14:08

stuff going on in the other side rooms,

14:11

but two additional ballrooms is going to be pretty wild. So 256

14:13

tables is what they're planning. For satellites,

14:17

there are, so last year they guaranteed

14:19

a little bit over 300 satellites. They

14:22

ended up with more than 500 seat winners

14:24

total. So nice, good, good bump there. This

14:27

year, the wind is going to have, instead of having

14:29

six

14:29

satellites, which is what they had last year, they're going

14:32

up to 11

14:33

and one is actually like this interesting package

14:35

satellite where you kind of go and you win a package. They haven't

14:37

announced how many seats are

14:40

up for grabs, right?

14:41

Yeah, the schedule is out there. Like they have a,

14:44

I think a 75 seat guarantee on December

14:46

11th. It's all on the schedule, all on.

14:48

I think you can find it. If you go to win poker.com,

14:51

they have a banner that you can click through and get there, or you can

14:53

head on over to wpt.com, navigate

14:55

to the main tour and you can find it there,

14:57

but yeah, the full schedule is out. So ready

15:00

to go. Um,

15:02

Ryan said, Ryan

15:04

Beauregard said if they

15:06

can hit last year's average in terms

15:08

of what they awarded, um, from

15:10

the satellites that they ran, then they should get about

15:13

six to 700 satellite entries

15:15

this year, that's just from.

15:16

The, the wind satellites

15:19

that doesn't include club WPT. The,

15:23

I think Jeremy lemons was on the call or on the

15:25

space as well. He mentioned around a hundred qualifiers

15:27

from club WPT, um, between

15:30

WPT world championship and WPT prime,

15:32

don't know exactly what numbers are allotted to each,

15:34

but, um, that's a good chunk of qualifiers

15:36

there. You're obviously going to have a ton of qualifiers

15:39

from WPT global. You're going

15:41

to have various, uh, properties

15:43

around the U S that are going to be working with

15:46

the WPT, for example, I think gardens

15:48

out in LA was mentioned

15:49

as one of them, you know, they're going to have a live satellite

15:51

there. That's going to be awarding people. So there's going

15:54

to be,

15:54

I mean, if you're going to get six to 700, just from the

15:58

wind satellites, it's going to be well.

15:59

a thousand satellite entries. And then

16:02

the 75 seat guarantee on December 11th,

16:04

that's going to be bananas. So like, I mean,

16:06

the satellites are going to be there. So

16:09

they're definitely making the push to

16:11

ensure that they hit this $40 million

16:13

guarantee.

16:14

My number, I think is like 42 million. That's where

16:17

I'm going to come in at right now. That's my early

16:19

estimate on the number. And

16:22

then just some nitty gritty details on

16:24

the tournament itself. So $40 million

16:26

is guaranteed for the price. Well, the buy-in is $10,400 of

16:28

that 10,400, 9,800 goes into the prize pool, $600 is for rake and

16:30

fees and all

16:35

that other junk that as poker players, we

16:37

don't like so much. December 12th

16:40

through 21st is the event for

16:43

starting flights, which is one

16:44

more than last year. Last year, they had

16:46

three starting flights. This year, they're bumping it up to four.

16:49

It is one entry per

16:52

starting day. That is a freeze out per

16:54

flight. So the maximum number

16:56

of entries is four.

16:58

That means if you play all four, you're going to be spending $41,600, which

17:03

is a heck of a lot of money. We

17:05

talked about before, I think on

17:07

the podcast about day two registration and

17:10

wondering if that would be a thing. No, it's

17:12

not a thing. No day two registration. Registration

17:15

is going to be through six levels on

17:17

the day ones. And then again,

17:19

as I mentioned earlier,

17:21

last year, they had a $15 million guarantee

17:24

for this event. They got just over $29 million

17:26

in the prize pool, more than $4 million went

17:29

to the winner. So I'm thinking this

17:31

year, first place is probably going to be

17:34

north of 5 million, probably pushing 6

17:36

million. I don't know if it'll go any bigger than that, but

17:38

we'll see. I know last year they really like... It would have

17:40

been cool if they

17:42

also guaranteed first place. Like 5

17:45

million for first, 40 million prize pool. Yeah,

17:47

I mean, yeah, I don't know

17:49

if you necessarily need to do that just

17:51

because it's probably baked in. I mean, it might

17:54

be good from... For marketing. Yeah, that's for

17:56

marketing thing because I don't think many

17:59

people might be like,

17:59

is going to be for first place type of thing. Um,

18:02

yeah, I know last year that, you know, after they

18:04

announced the payouts, they really pushed

18:06

the fact that everyone that made the final six was

18:08

guaranteed a million dollars, which is cool. I

18:11

like that the WPT official final table is six

18:13

handed. So I'm assuming with a much

18:15

bigger prize on offer this year, that's

18:17

going to be in play once again. And

18:20

then I

18:21

think you touched on this on a recent

18:23

episode, but we didn't fully have the details,

18:25

um, at the time, but so we can hit on them right

18:27

now. So WSP paradise is scheduled

18:30

for December 3rd through 14th

18:33

and players can s can swing plane

18:36

in both, um, events.

18:39

Like basically the main events. Um, if, if

18:41

they play the WPT world championship day

18:43

one D, which is on December 15. So

18:46

even if you go all the way to the end and win

18:48

WSP paradise,

18:50

you could probably get on a plane that

18:52

next morning, super early and

18:54

get over to Las Vegas and still

18:57

get in before the registration deadline. So

18:59

obviously not everyone is going to make the final table of

19:01

the WSP paradise main event. So there

19:04

will be plenty of players that I think can double dip

19:06

and do both. You can play, um,

19:08

that WSP paradise main event if you want,

19:10

and then head on over to play the WPT world

19:12

championship. The biggest clash that I

19:15

see, um, was the $5 million

19:17

guaranteed WPT prime

19:19

championship. Um, by the way, this, this

19:21

guarantee went up from, I think it was 2 million

19:24

last year. Went

19:24

up to five million. Yeah. Oh,

19:27

that's a really big jump there. Um, it did hit 5

19:29

million though in the price of locally

19:31

last year. It did. I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Yeah.

19:34

It crushed it. I mean, it's, I mean, this event was

19:36

bananas. So this is the biggest clash that I see

19:38

because it runs December 7th through

19:41

12th at win Las Vegas. So that's

19:43

going to be the biggest clash. I, you know, I

19:45

think, I think plenty of people, if you want

19:47

to play both, you can in terms of the main events,

19:50

but then, you know, you're probably going to have to miss out on some

19:52

other stuff elsewhere. You know, if you go down

19:54

to WSP paradise, you're going to have to miss this

19:56

prime championship. If you want to stick around and play the prime

19:58

championship, well, then you can't play it. WSP Paradise made

20:00

event. So that's going to be kind of the decision

20:03

point. That's some of the,

20:05

I would say the bigger buy-in players have to worry

20:07

about because WSP Paradise does have a lot

20:09

of the high roller stuff down there. So

20:12

we'll see what people do. I have one

20:14

gripe

20:15

with the WPT. Go

20:17

ahead. Apart

20:20

from the day to registration, that's fine.

20:22

If you don't want to do that, I don't have an issue.

20:25

I guess I could complain about no reentries,

20:27

but you know what? I'm okay with that too. What

20:31

you want reentries? I love this. No, no, no. The

20:33

way that this is structured. No, no, no. I'm just saying that

20:35

like, I don't, I'm not, I'm

20:38

not opposed to a single reentry, but that's

20:40

fine. You don't want either of those two things I'm okay

20:42

with. I know you announced your dates early and

20:45

these tours unlike us are

20:48

very, they're going to stand behind their

20:50

dates. Now they added a day

20:52

one day. Great. I just

20:55

wish they moved their main event. It

20:57

starts on the 12th. If they

20:59

just started on the 13th, now

21:01

two reasons why. First reason

21:03

you could get more people that

21:06

play paradise to fly to Vegas because

21:08

I'm not sure. I'm

21:10

not sure on the flight schedule, but I'm not sure how many flights

21:13

are coming out of the Bahamas on,

21:16

on that Friday for day one day to

21:18

get from what is it? Bahamas, Miami,

21:20

Miami, Vegas.

21:22

So just one more day for travel

21:24

would be great. But also

21:26

then you can have one day on

21:28

Saturday. And now I know both you and

21:30

me love

21:31

a weekend flight to get the weekend worries,

21:34

but also want

21:35

the third thing we have to consider is

21:38

school holidays. Last day of school

21:40

for most people

21:43

is Friday.

21:45

Right? That's day one day.

21:47

Now, if you're a teacher, if you're a parent,

21:49

like you and me, if you had

21:51

day one day on Saturday, when

21:54

the kids are now on winter break, I think

21:56

that just moving that world championship one day

21:58

later, I know you have to be flexible.

22:01

I think it could have locked in the hitting

22:03

the 40 million because I'm, I'm

22:07

just like last year with WSPP. I'm

22:10

on the unders until I can get

22:12

persuaded to be on the overs. So

22:15

wait, you're on the unders for the 40 million. I

22:17

don't know if that's a big number. It's 4,082

22:20

players. That's a lot of players. I understand.

22:22

I mean, listen, it is, but

22:26

they got what? 2900 last year. I mean, they're,

22:30

they're ramping up the satellites. I

22:33

think the fact that last year was such a success

22:36

really plays into their favor. You know,

22:38

a lot of people are like a lot of people last year,

22:40

we know, even last year, a lot of people

22:42

were on the fence about even coming out

22:44

for that event in December, right?

22:47

Then they saw how big the price was. A lot of people booked

22:49

late flights and were like, I gotta get there. Right? Now

22:52

if you, if you didn't make that trip, I think

22:54

you planned on making this trip this year.

22:56

You were like, I can't miss that event. Now

22:59

you already planning to come. Now you see it's coming

23:01

with the $40 million guarantee.

23:03

So now I think you're like, well, I mean, what

23:05

are we doing here? Let's, we got it. We gotta

23:07

be there. Right. So, I

23:10

get, I think my number will change and I'll probably get

23:12

back to being overs, but I

23:15

want to see the satellites. I want to see how, look,

23:18

I played a,

23:19

I think it was that 50 seat milestone

23:22

satellite and I had it doubled it. So

23:24

stuff like that will really push me to move

23:26

my number up. But also I want to see

23:29

how the first few events of paradise go. We've

23:31

got a mystery millions. We've got a mini

23:33

main event. And we got the 25 K

23:36

GG millions high rollers. If those

23:38

numbers are slightly down to what

23:40

we might've expected,

23:42

then my numbers for WPT are going to go up.

23:44

If that makes sense. I think people have made a

23:46

decision stuff it. I

23:49

don't want to go to Bahamas. I want to go to Vegas.

23:52

I want to play the five million prime. I want

23:54

to play the three K six max. You

23:56

know, also we have EPT Prague. If Prague

23:58

numbers are down too. which we probably

24:01

won't happen, but

24:03

some of those things will send my

24:05

number through the roof for WPT. But

24:07

I'm going to hold back. I'm going to wait, see

24:09

what happens in early December. Yeah. I mean, if I were

24:11

to put kind of a

24:15

prediction on it all, I

24:17

would guess that

24:18

EPT Prague catches the strays here in

24:21

a lot of ways. I mean, it's WPT

24:23

and it's WSOP Paradise

24:25

and it's, you know, people aren't really talking

24:27

about EPT Prague. So you could look at that either

24:29

way. You could say, you know, the numbers for EPT

24:32

Prague might fall a little bit, or you could say, you

24:34

know what, everyone's going to be at these other two series

24:37

and your EPT Prague is going to be a little bit softer

24:39

than I would expect. So we'll see how

24:41

that goes. If you're in Prague

24:44

or Germany or wherever

24:46

and you're not a pro, I

24:49

feel like your

24:51

incentive to travel to Vegas

24:53

isn't there. So you might as well just stay kind

24:56

of home. It's Christmas time. I heard Prague's

24:58

beautiful in December. It is. So

25:00

maybe you just say, you know what, that's

25:03

fine. Prague's still a good event. It's

25:05

a, it's a poker stars event. It's run exceptionally

25:07

well. Who knows what Bahamas is

25:09

going to be wins a mess. It's

25:12

going to be hard for me to get home to my family for Christmas.

25:14

I'm just going to play EPT Prague. So

25:16

I think they'll be fine. Yeah.

25:18

I mean, all in all, I think all of these,

25:20

these stops will,

25:22

I think they're going to perform well individually.

25:25

Now it's going to be hard to say like, well, would this

25:27

one have been bigger if this one didn't happen or vice

25:29

versa. So that's going to be hard, but

25:31

I think they're probably all going to hit their numbers.

25:35

This WPT world championship overall has $56

25:38

million guaranteed across the series.

25:40

They open up with a $600 opening

25:43

event that has like 9,000 starting flights

25:45

with a million dollar guarantee. It

25:47

has one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight

25:49

starting flights. One of those eight, the final one day one

25:52

H is a turbo. They also

25:54

have a $2 million guaranteed mystery

25:56

bounty. We already hit on the $5

25:59

million guaranteed. WPT Prime

26:01

Championship. They have another event

26:03

that I mean, this event alone could be like

26:05

the main event on a lot of schedules, a $3,000 buy-in $3

26:07

million guarantee that's on there. And

26:12

then they have a $2 million that

26:14

starts on December 17th. It has two starting flights.

26:21

Then they have a $2 million guarantee $1,600 buy-in

26:24

that starts on December 19th. So I mean, it's

26:28

just one big event after another

26:31

on this thing. They also have a seniors

26:33

high roller. They did it. A $10,000

26:35

buy-in seniors event. 50 years or

26:37

older gets you into this one. $500,000 guaranteed $10,000

26:45

buy-in. I'm going to be

26:47

certainly paying attention to that one. I'm really interested.

26:49

I know who's already going to win that.

26:51

Who's that? Mike Lang. He wins

26:53

every seniors event. Mike Lang. I'm

26:55

pretty sure he won one like five

26:57

days ago. Yeah. I mean, maybe he did. He's the best.

27:00

So yeah, a whole ton of stuff on this WPT

27:03

World Championship schedule. Again, as I mentioned earlier,

27:05

winpoker.com or just head to wpt.com

27:08

and you can find the stuff on there.

27:11

He won a $1,000 win seniors

27:13

event. Of

27:15

course he did. Maybe

27:18

we need to start having a seniors PGT

27:20

event and Mike Lang will just be in the winner's circle. Can

27:23

I just read his five wins? Yeah, go ahead.

27:26

$125 monthly seniors, a 1K seniors high roller, a 400 seniors, a 400

27:29

seniors, and

27:35

then most recently the...

27:38

Sorry, $1,100 seniors. He

27:41

just crushes seniors events.

28:45

The NAPT is

28:47

back. I've been waiting for

28:50

the North American Pogra Tour to come

28:52

back forever.

28:54

Last time that it was held was way back

28:56

in 2011. Of course the whole Black Friday

29:00

situation in the USA kind of

29:03

killed. They were just kids.

29:04

Killed the advancement of the North

29:06

American Pogra Tour.

29:08

This is awesome. So it's

29:11

coming back to Resorts World in Las Vegas

29:13

November 4th through 12th. We

29:16

know a

29:17

bit of the schedule, not the full thing

29:19

just yet. Still gonna wait to see the full

29:21

details of the schedule, but we know a lot of it.

29:23

So we know that the NAPT

29:25

main event is November 6th through

29:28

11th. It has a $1,650 buy-in. We're

29:30

gonna hit on that in a second or

29:32

at least I am. There's an NAPT $10,300

29:35

super high roller scheduled for November 5th

29:38

through 6th. The NAPT $550

29:40

Nolan Hold'em Cup

29:42

is scheduled November 9th through

29:45

12th. They have a $5,300 high

29:47

roller November 10th through 12th

29:50

and then an $1,100 bounty

29:52

event November 11th through

29:54

12th. So

29:57

first thought, yes, it's back.

29:59

Let's go.

29:59

and it's coming to Las Vegas where

30:03

that might not mean a lot to

30:05

a lot of people, but

30:06

it does for me because PokerStars

30:08

isn't in Nevada.

30:10

They're in other states, but they're not in

30:12

Nevada. So the fact that they're coming back to

30:15

Las Vegas is, I think, awesome,

30:17

right?

30:18

Now my second thought is the $1,650

30:20

main event buy-in seems a tad low. These

30:25

other events, at least the

30:27

old NAPT events, were 5K

30:29

buy-ins for the main event. Then they had some

30:31

bounty shootout events, they had some high rollers, etc.

30:34

But the main events were kind of very similar

30:36

to the EPTs, so this one seems

30:38

a little bit low. That said, I think

30:41

my takeaway is that this

30:44

is sort of a soft launch in a

30:46

way.

30:48

They're going to

30:49

kind of dip their toes back in the water

30:52

with this event.

30:54

They're going to pair it with the F1

30:56

that is in Las Vegas, which they've already

30:58

talked about. We know that PokerStars

31:00

is a sponsor of the Red Bull Racing Team

31:03

with Max Verstappen and all

31:05

that he does and absolutely annihilating the competition

31:08

in F1.

31:10

So they're going to pair some stuff there. That race

31:12

in Las Vegas is November 16th through

31:14

18th, so I

31:16

think they've already put some stuff out where there's

31:18

some gold passes that can be won, which combine

31:21

a poker and F1 experience all into

31:23

one. That stuff's going to be out there as well.

31:25

So

31:26

a little bit of a two-fold situation

31:29

here where you have kind of a soft launch going into

31:31

a bigger tour that I'm guessing

31:33

they're going to do for 2024, and then also being able

31:36

to pair it with the

31:38

F1 stuff that they're going to be doing in

31:40

Las Vegas. I'm pretty

31:42

pumped about this one. Hopefully I'll be able to get to

31:44

play it. I

31:46

don't know if I'm going to be exactly loving

31:49

going down to the strip in the middle of November,

31:51

but that said, I think a $1,650 main event is right up my

31:53

alley. I'm

31:56

also guessing they haven't announced anything

31:58

yet in terms of guaranteeing.

31:59

I'm guessing they're gonna announce some sort

32:02

of guarantee on the main event I don't think

32:04

poker stars is just gonna come out here and you

32:06

know launch the napt just

32:08

As a 1650 just and hope that

32:11

you know, it does really well when there's a chance

32:13

it could you know, get 50 runners I mean, there's

32:15

always a chance right? But if you guarantee

32:17

it you obviously Lessen that

32:19

chance. So

32:20

So yeah, I think that that stuff's kind of coming down

32:23

the pipeline overall, but

32:26

I'm happy to see it back I can't wait

32:28

for the napt to be back I think there's I think there's a

32:30

big opening in the market for

32:33

The napt to return which is also why

32:35

I was kind of like hmm the 1650 price

32:37

point does seem a little Low

32:39

for what I expected, but I think there's

32:41

probably more coming.

32:43

Yeah, I Don't hate

32:45

the 1650 mine to be honest.

32:48

It's it's a bit more affordable for

32:51

People like myself. I actually

32:53

think that I think results model

32:55

actually be okay in November like

32:57

that end of the strip I think will be

33:00

safe coming off

33:02

You know from behind results world. So I don't

33:05

think you hit too many traffic I mean, hopefully I just have

33:07

no idea and then every time I go down to the strip I'm

33:09

like, you know, it'll be fine that they're mostly

33:11

done with the paving and this and that and then it's just it's a

33:13

disaster Yeah, it's it's

33:16

awful. I do like what they've announced with the

33:18

schedule. There's some variety. There's

33:20

a couple of high rollers

33:22

Like I said, I think I mean, I'm a big fan

33:24

of this 550 cup event. I think it'll be big

33:27

It's a great price point we can go in there and blast away.

33:30

So that's a good one. I think

33:32

focus stars is very much

33:34

trying to get that brand back out there and in

33:36

the States and

33:37

Having affordable events

33:40

is a good step to achieving that

33:43

If you if you were just five K's and

33:45

up for the main and high rollers

33:48

It'd be hard for people that don't really know what focus

33:50

ours is Don't don't know what the napt

33:52

is to just jump in and and and

33:54

play this I think These these

33:56

affordable buy-ins help with

33:58

some brand exposure

33:59

help get the NAPT back up, back

34:02

into people's minds for, you

34:04

know, like you said, it's a soft launch, it's gonna

34:06

be a hard launch in 2024.

34:09

And I think it helps those roads. The

34:11

only pushback that I would have on that specific

34:13

thing that you just mentioned is, you know, on the

34:16

EPT, they often pair an EPT

34:18

like they just did for Barcelona with

34:20

the Australia's poker tour. You

34:22

know, they pair EPT Prague with the Eureka

34:25

poker tour, stuff like that, which is their

34:27

lower buying series. So,

34:30

you know, much like WPT does with WPT

34:32

Prime, in some instances, I

34:34

think you could do that here with the NAPT, you know,

34:36

you could still have like a 1K to

34:39

a $1,500

34:39

in that price point, like

34:41

smaller tiered thing, and

34:44

then you have the 3,500 to the 5K main

34:46

event, right? So you kind of offer both. But

34:50

that said, I think it's more of,

34:53

this is a starting point for things

34:55

to come,

34:57

at least I'm hopeful in that regard. So

35:00

we'll see how things play out. Nonetheless, I'm

35:02

happy to have Poker Stars

35:04

back with the NAPT

35:06

in the US because I

35:08

just, the way that Poker Stars

35:10

does events is

35:13

just the best.

35:15

Now, obviously there are other events

35:17

that do really great things. World

35:19

Poker Tour does a great job. Triton

35:22

Poker series obviously does a great job. I

35:24

think what we do on the PGT at the Poker Studio,

35:26

we do a great job.

35:28

But the NAPT I

35:30

think is gonna take a lot from the EPT.

35:32

I mean, it's all under the same umbrella. And

35:36

it combines like that

35:38

amazing experience with

35:41

an event that is at scale.

35:43

Because like Triton Poker series, the

35:45

PGT events, they're smaller.

35:47

It's easier to do stuff when it's smaller, right?

35:49

It's like you're not, you know, getting, you know, hundreds

35:52

if not thousands of players in the mix.

35:54

So I think Poker Stars is gonna roll

35:57

out the bells and whistles for the start of this. I'm expecting

35:59

kind of like a...

35:59

PCA type of feel

36:02

at least branding wise when you walk into

36:04

Resorts World. We obviously know Resorts

36:06

World is

36:08

a newer property

36:11

down on the Las Vegas Strip. It's

36:13

going to be coupled with that

36:16

level of quality, that level of luxury.

36:19

So I'm looking forward to it overall. I think it's

36:21

going to be fun. I'm looking forward to donating

36:24

at least $550. Yeah. I

36:26

mean, we got to get in this 550. Going

36:29

to take a shot hopefully in the 1650 main

36:31

event if I can swing it, schedule wise, but yeah,

36:34

it's going to be a fun time for sure. And

36:36

then speaking of poker

36:38

stars or keeping it in the poker stars family,

36:41

EPT Barcelona recently

36:43

wrapped up. I mean, this stop every

36:45

single year is just absolutely gangbusters.

36:47

So we'll hit on a couple of

36:50

the big events here. The 5,300 euro EPT main

36:52

event had 2,120 entries. Simon

36:59

Wysiak from France won 1.134

37:01

million euros. That's

37:05

just over 1.2 million dollars.

37:08

Andrei Kari took fifth place

37:10

for just under 400,000 euros. So

37:13

another absolutely amazing

37:15

turnout there. I watched a lot of the poker stars

37:19

EPT live coverage as I

37:21

always try and do. I think it's just great quality

37:23

contents. The 1,100 euro

37:25

Estras poker tour main event. So this one 7,398

37:28

entries, 3,291 of those entries were unique players. This

37:35

is a record setting turnout for

37:37

poker stars. It

37:38

is the biggest live event

37:41

in poker stars history. Lucian

37:43

Cohen out of France, another Frenchman winning

37:46

this one for 676,000 euros. That's 735,000

37:50

dollars.

37:54

The 2,200 Estras poker

37:56

tour high roller.

37:57

Another huge turnout here. 2,200.

37:59

and 114 entries. Gorin

38:02

Mandich out of Croatia won 418,900 euros. This

38:08

was a three way chop. Antoine Labate

38:11

got second place and actually got more money

38:13

than Mandich did for winning. Labate

38:16

took home 500,000 euros even. And

38:20

then Yeon Sheng Sun got third for 385,000 euros.

38:24

And I believe if I remember correctly that

38:27

they got down to three handed. They did an ICM

38:29

deal and then

38:29

they just flipped for the trophy

38:31

and that was that. 100,000 euro

38:34

EPT super high roller.

38:36

I feel like this one was on the smaller side for

38:38

a poker star super high roller. 18 entries,

38:41

you know, I feel like these usually get a

38:44

bit larger, but you know, who knows?

38:46

Keihan Makri, I probably butchered

38:48

that name terribly. I'm sorry. Won

38:51

the event for 750,000 euros. And

38:54

then you had the 10,300 euro EPT high roller. And

38:58

then you had this event every single year, these high rollers

39:00

at EPT Barcelona always perform extremely

39:02

well. 475 entries in this one. Keihan

39:06

Lau,

39:06

a

39:07

PLO expert, Keihan Lau. Playing

39:09

the two card game here, winning 910,000 euros

39:11

there. So

39:15

massive turnouts from EPT

39:17

Barcelona as we can expect.

39:20

And the EPT, I mean the EPT,

39:22

what, took some time off or whatever, then came

39:24

back. I mean, it's just, it's going

39:27

as good as ever. I mean, I love the EPTs.

39:29

I think they're, you know,

39:31

just the absolute pinnacle in,

39:34

you know, huge field live

39:37

poker tournaments. I love everything PokerStars

39:39

does with them. So again, hopefully

39:42

some of that EPT stuff transitions to

39:44

the NAPT here in the

39:46

States or in North America.

39:48

All right, so we gotta bring this one

39:51

inside a little bit. High stakes poker.

39:53

We don't always try to talk about, you know, all the stuff

39:56

that we're doing on PokerGo just because we

39:58

don't want to seem like a bunch of shills for our own.

39:59

stuff. That said, High

40:02

Stakes Poker season 11

40:04

has delivered.

40:06

It's been awesome. I don't know what Tim thinks.

40:08

I think it's been

40:10

arguably the best season of High Stakes Poker ever.

40:12

That's a very, very strong

40:14

statement. It's been so good. It's been

40:17

so good. Very good. The

40:19

stakes are astronomical. $1,000, $2,000 are the

40:21

blinds, and then they're putting on the $4,000 straddle

40:25

every chance that they can get.

40:27

So there's that. The

40:29

group of players, you have Andrew Roble,

40:31

you have Jean-Pierre Blondes, you have Rick Solomon,

40:34

they all just work really well

40:36

together.

40:36

They obviously have played a lot

40:39

in the past, whether that be on various

40:43

televised or filmed games like this. Also,

40:45

you can definitely tell that they play a bunch

40:48

of private games together. Eric Persson

40:50

made an appearance, dusted off a bunch of money,

40:52

lasted like 12 minutes, and that

40:54

was out. Rob Yong's in the mix.

40:57

I think it's been a ton of fun

41:00

overall this whole season.

41:02

So yeah, I love

41:05

it. I've

41:07

always been really partial to the old High

41:09

Stakes Poker, which I think most people

41:11

in poker have. For

41:14

a lot of people, that was really like

41:16

the door opener to get us into

41:19

the world of High Stakes Poker.

41:21

It was so, so, so good. Well,

41:24

it's taken a little bit of time since there was

41:26

that break, but I think season 11, I

41:29

think this is it. This

41:31

is the new modern High Stakes Poker,

41:33

and this is what it should be. I almost feel

41:35

like going forward, High Stakes Poker should not

41:37

have blinds less than 1,000, 2,000.

41:40

You just got to find guys that play that. Especially

41:44

with No Gamble in the future, sometimes

41:47

playing the same stakes. So just High

41:50

Stakes Poker, stick to the name, 1,000, 2,000. Let's go. Find guys that are

41:52

going to

41:54

play this big. But we got to talk about

41:56

this on a recent episode. Jean-Roubert

41:58

Boulogne made a fold.

42:00

that, I mean, Tim

42:04

is tight. I mean, but holy crap.

42:07

What are we doing here? So it's 1000,

42:10

2000 with a 4000 straddle. Rick Solomon,

42:12

who if you've ever watched Rick Solomon play

42:14

poker,

42:15

he's both like

42:18

good in a weird out

42:20

of the box unorthodox way.

42:23

But he can also like be really wacky

42:26

and wild. Like he's kind of all over the

42:28

place. And Jean-Roubert Blond has a

42:30

lot of experience playing with Rick Solomon.

42:32

So he knows that and they often talk about it, you know, Rick

42:34

can do whatever he wants, Rick isn't never going to be

42:36

scared by the stakes, all this sort of stuff. So

42:39

it's 1000, 2000 with the 4000 straddle. Rick Solomon finds the

42:42

the powerful Fordoose off makes

42:44

it 15k. You know, so he's

42:46

already in the he's just splashing. Let's go. Now

42:48

Jean-Roubert Blond is in the small blind folds to

42:51

him. He's got 365,000 in his stack. He makes it 50,000 with

42:53

pocket Queens 315,000 behind folds back over

43:00

to Rick Solomon. He just says, you know

43:02

what, I'm all in Yolo, let's go. Blond

43:05

folds the two queens. I

43:07

mean, what are we doing? Why are you three bedding

43:10

that in if you're folding the two queens and

43:12

Nick Shulman credit to Nick Shulman says easily

43:15

the worst fold in the history of the show. Yes,

43:17

it was the worst fold in the history of the show.

43:20

I mean, come on. I think it was a fire

43:22

was fine fold. Yeah,

43:25

you're the captain of the army of the knits figure

43:28

it out. I mean,

43:30

this was so bad. What's he doing? Yes,

43:33

it was not great. He did have what 300? He

43:35

had 350,000. I

43:38

mean, it's a lot of money.

43:40

Yeah. But I mean, he put

43:42

one seventh of his stack in pre-flop him. Come

43:44

on, man. You have pocket Queens, the third best hand in poker.

43:47

Get it in. From memory,

43:49

I think JRB lost

43:52

the first two days. This being

43:54

the third day that he was playing. So that

43:57

could definitely have some influence.

44:00

on his decision. So,

44:03

yeah, I mean, yeah, I don't know what to say. I don't think it

44:06

was, it was a bad

44:08

fault. I mean, coming from it,

44:09

it does remind us of an old hand

44:12

between Brad Booth and Phil Ivey when

44:14

Brad Booth had the Fordy. It was suited though.

44:16

It was the Fordy suited versus

44:18

the pocket kings of Phil Ivey. The difference

44:20

there

44:21

was that that one saw a flop.

44:23

Okay, very different situation.

44:26

That one, they went to the flop, did Brad

44:28

Booth and Phil Ivey, and the flop was seven,

44:31

six, three with two diamonds. And

44:34

I forget the action exactly, but

44:36

Brad Booth puts just stacks

44:38

of cash in the middle. And it leads to

44:41

the famous line of Ivey saying that cash

44:43

just looks so sweet. I wish you could put the chips

44:45

in. That

44:48

cash just looks so sweet. As he's in the tank

44:50

thinking about calling with the two kings, but

44:52

Brad Booth can have

44:54

a ton of hands here. He can have seven, six.

44:56

He can have different two pairs. He could

44:58

have flopped a straight. He

45:01

could have set stuff like that. So different

45:04

situation because you do see the floppier here.

45:06

I mean, given the stack size,

45:09

three betting to 50K, having 315K behind, given

45:12

the fact that you have pocket queens, third

45:15

best hand in poker pre-flop, given

45:17

the fact that it's Rick Solomon out of all

45:19

people, I mean, you just, you got a call.

45:21

You got to beat him into the pot at Phil Homme style.

45:25

It's the Rick Solomon pot

45:27

that makes it the bad fault. I

45:29

mean, if this is, if this is, yeah, this is Rob Young,

45:31

you've probably fooled. I mean.

45:34

Yeah, it's Rick Solomon. Just put

45:37

the chips in. Let's go.

45:40

Yeah, let's win some money. I mean, this is, that's just wild. And

45:42

the way that they've been playing on the season,

45:45

you know, that you're probably gonna run it twice. So like,

45:47

if you're up against an ace king, like, yeah, you're flipping.

45:49

You may not want to flip for that much money,

45:51

but you know, you're gonna be running it twice or whatever. I

45:53

mean, yeah, this was one

45:55

of many fun, crazy

45:58

moments from season 11 of High Six.

45:59

again, I would highly encourage you to watch

46:02

it because, um, I, listen,

46:04

I'm not joking. I think it's, it's arguably the

46:06

best season in high stakes poker history. It's just been

46:08

so, so, so good. All right. Last thing

46:10

we're going to talk about here. Uh, we got a hit on,

46:12

um, Sean deep

46:14

now he posted an update. So Sean deep was supposed

46:17

to get down to, I believe 17% body

46:19

fat in a bet against bill Perkins.

46:22

He has to do it by the start of

46:24

the 2024 world series of

46:26

poker. I think it's like may 30th or may 31st is

46:28

when he's got to get a scan and get in down

46:31

to 17% body fat. Um,

46:34

he's posting a hundred thousand dollars

46:36

to bill Perkins is $1 million. He

46:38

got a DEXA scan, which

46:41

is a full body scan that gives you all sorts

46:43

of measurements. Most importantly, as it pertains

46:45

to this bet, it does give you probably the

46:47

most accurate body fat percentage,

46:49

uh, read out there. So he gets that on

46:51

August 21st. So a couple of weeks

46:54

ago,

46:54

it comes back at 36%.

46:58

I mean, is he, is he drawing dead? No,

47:01

not at all. Really you don't think so?

47:03

No. I mean, that doesn't seem like it's that

47:06

much progress. Like,

47:08

so

47:09

he's posted photos, how he's having a cheat meal

47:11

at his favorite restaurant. It looks like he's got 19 chicken

47:14

farms on the table. Like, I mean, he

47:16

probably shouldn't be doing

47:18

that. But as you

47:20

know, and hopefully some of our listeners know, I

47:22

used to be a larger

47:24

man and my

47:27

first body scan, I was to

47:29

basically two 50. What Sean is now 36%

47:32

body fat. What does

47:34

he got to get to? He's got to get to 17 exactly. I

47:36

think it's 17.

47:37

Yeah. So without, without doing

47:39

any like crazy fasting,

47:43

when I was one 85, I

47:44

was 17.7% body fat. Now

47:49

I was not using a DEXA scan. It was one of those

47:52

like

47:53

in body ones that they have a lifetime.

47:55

So it's very good, but I think a DEXA

47:57

scan is obviously better.

47:59

He has to try and get to 185. Can he get to 185 between now and the world series

48:02

of poker next

48:05

year? Yes. But he can't be having cheat

48:07

meals. He's got to knuckle down. He's

48:10

got to be

48:10

locked on, working out, running,

48:14

cardio, eating well, doing

48:16

everything,

48:17

and he'll get there.

48:19

So can he physically get to 17%? Yes.

48:22

Will he? I

48:23

don't know. If he's going to have chicken pum pum is

48:25

in a random August, we're

48:27

going to struggle. Yeah. This is,

48:30

I think my kind of stance

48:32

on this whole thing was like, you know, you just need

48:35

to somewhat maintain

48:37

through the world series of poker, just knowing

48:39

how much he likes to grind. And

48:42

then once the world series of poker

48:44

ends, you know, it's,

48:46

you got to get down to business. So like

48:48

you said, Tim, I mean, you're, no, no, no

48:50

cheat meals. I'm sorry. Like, I don't care what the nutritionist

48:52

says. You just, you're 24 seven from whatever,

48:55

July 18th, 19th

48:56

till May 30th, 31st. Like

48:57

that you're, you're a

49:02

hundred percent good nonstop.

49:05

Like that's just how you have to live. You have to be, it's

49:07

David God, I think sucks. Yeah. I

49:09

mean, it's like, he's got a million

49:11

dollars to win.

49:13

Yeah. Sucks less. I mean, win a million

49:15

dollars. I'll tell you that much.

49:17

We were doing weight loss bets for like,

49:20

and we were winning several thousand and

49:22

we were making it.

49:23

He's trying to win a million dollars. Like

49:26

you should be able to crush this. Yeah.

49:28

I mean, yeah, I would say, you know, you just gotta,

49:31

you just gotta give up, you know, the next what

49:34

eight, nine months of your life,

49:36

basically. Like when I

49:38

say give it up, I'm not saying like, give up your family time

49:40

and all that sort of stuff. I'm just saying like, you, you know, no

49:42

cheat meals. I'm sorry. You

49:44

got to get your ass up at 8am and workout some

49:46

days, two days, like, you know, long workouts,

49:49

like everything. Like you just, you got to commit

49:51

yourself to it because seven figure payday at

49:53

the end of the, at the end of the rain. I think it took me 18 months

49:55

to

49:56

lose 80 pounds. But

50:01

I also didn't have a million dollar

50:03

carrot over my head. I just had

50:05

a few thousand dollars carrots

50:08

in weightless bets. But

50:11

yeah, you just have to be like real

50:13

hardcore and it's not easy. But

50:16

if he wants to do it, he'll get there. But

50:18

like we said, like we said at the start, it's does

50:20

he want to get there? Yeah, that's the

50:23

biggest thing. Yeah, it's gonna be interesting. I

50:25

think I kind of flip-flopped

50:27

before, if he was gonna make it, if he

50:29

wasn't gonna make it, I was pleasantly

50:32

surprised that once the bet got booked,

50:35

next day he was like ready to go. He was trying.

50:38

Now, I don't know, now I think I lean

50:41

towards

50:43

him not making it. At least it's gonna be much harder

50:45

than I thought just because being at 36% now,

50:47

at least

50:49

he was 36% on August 21st. But

50:52

we'll see. If he cuts out those chicken parm

50:54

cheat meals and whatever else he's having, we'll

50:57

see how it goes and we'll obviously

50:59

be monitoring this situation because

51:01

I think it's interesting.

51:03

All right, well, that's gonna do

51:05

it for Tim and I.
