Yeah, golden time in poker! So many great shows on TV also, Gabe on HSP... Still remembered Corys slow roll here lol. And... to this day amazed how well mannered Hudson took this! Standards of play have changed so much.
Still can't believe that Farha/Hudson hand. Over the history of the WSOP ME I'm sure it's happened before, but it's amazing that back in 2005 it's just so lucky that they actually got that insane cooler on camera. Sometimes you're just dealt a game over.
The Sheik/Mouth hand is an odd choice. It wasn't consequential or exciting. Mike busted him later on, which would have been better. They played several other hands that would have been better
I think they chose it just because of the banter about the whole "don't make 2-pair that would suck" and then, ironically, Matusow makes 2-pair and loses to a straight.
imagine actually saying ' how can i possibly muck this hand' to your opponent on the turn, then calling, and hitting a 1 outer vs Q's full. wow the early/mid 2000's were the best lol
Zeidman had the stone cold nuts. I know he's an amateur but that was such a dirty play to say "if I lose this hand". Surely there should be penalties for saying this when you have an unbeatable hand.
He didn't have to push all-in for his remaining 9000+ chips when Sammy raised him to 1300, though. Getting coolered is one thing, but get KO'd on the very first hand like that was on Hudson.
Oliver Hudson was easily the classiest response ever. “Omg. First hand.” It’s so funny bc most ppl would have figured Sammy is just getting out of line. Is he really Jennifer Hudson’s brother? Took it like a champ regardless.
These hands are almost as rigged as online poker lol. The guy with jacks would have hit a set too. I had JJ and the others had QQ,KK and AA in one hand I played. I'm a nit so I folded my jacks.
Hellmuth is such a baby he should be happy that his opponent is sticking the money in with KJs pre. He’s so far in front he should be happy with the play. He’s unlucky simple as that. Berating the bloke for making a stupid play is so unprofessional
Maybe a bit prejudice, but just looking at that guy I never would have thought he has multiple gods. Edit: 13:13 left that guy hanging for TEN on live tv - brutal. Americans are amazing.
15 years ago...since Joe Hachem got passed the sugah. Very nostalgic to see these hands. Appreciate every moment because before you know it, you'll be old.
I don’t mind losing when I have kings and they have aces because we would both do the same thing but when someone calls when they should have folded I get triggered
I often understand him. In many of the situations he's just expressing what most of us would've felt if it happened to us. But most of us keep it to ourselves and get on with it, instead of talking people's heads off.
The Oliver Hudson/Farha hand will always be symbolic to me of the early days of the poker boom. On the first hand of tourney raise 450 pre-flop, check flop, bet 300 on river, get raised to 1300, and then go all in for your remaining ~9000 chips with the 5th nuts. I get it's a cooler, but c'mon man!
There is no way Sam is going to call for his tournament life with less than a full house. I'm pretty sure that he'd fold KJ. Hudson has the lowest full house possible. It's a bad move because the only way he can get call is by a hand that beat him.
Many, many people play this way today. Sklansky called it level 0: what is my hand, and where does it rank in the universe of hands. Lots of players won't fold KK preflop, and lots won't fold pocket rockets until they see the river.
@@alejandro3485 Don't think he meant to slowroll, I just think he didn't realize that she had put him all in. Or else, he would have said "call" not "I'm all in" when moving his chips in. A slowroll yes, but definitely an inadvertently slow roll ...
@@alejandro3485 he also clearly should have folded the turn. He didn't even have the nuts on the flop and now AK and a ton a full houses beat him. His flush draw isn't even a strong one.
Yeah, Mike Matusow, Phil Helmuth and Shawn Shiekhan are my 3 least favorite players. Phil & Mike whine about everything, but Shiekhan is just an arrogant asshole.
That 7 of diamonds is still one of the craziest things I've ever seen. She figured he only made a flush, nobody ever gets the straight flush. Poker and people had so much personality 15 years ago. Now to watch poker is to watch paint dry because nobody has charisma or personality anymore.
Not to mention the sickest slow roll of all time. The deep sigh and head shake, the hesitation, the speech about how he could lose the hand- and then turning over the stone cold nuts. I don’t know why that guy hated Jen Harman so much, but that was without a doubt the most brutal slow roll I’ve seen. She took it better than just about anyone I’ve seen. I know I wouldn’t have shrugged it off like her. What an absolutely classless pos Zeidman is. If it were a first time rec player I might chalk it up to ignorance, but Zeidman is a pro, and he knew exactly what he was doing.
@@YogSoth exactly. There should be penalties for saying things like that when you have the stone cold nuts. The slow roll that's fine I guess because she still had play behind him but to try and induce a call by giving your opponent false hope when you absolutely know you have the best hand is totally dirty.
Lmao what does PokerGO have against Joe Hachem? You're telling me the champion doesn't have a single hand worthy of being in the top 5? Especially the third hand, short stack AJ all-in preflop holds against KQ. What a joke
If Mike won that hand he probably ended up winning. Also in the hand of the bustout he was right. He had the real chance to win in 2005 in full boom of poker.
Zeidman is the kind of person you love to have on your table. So much so that you can’t berate him when he pulls a one outer and slow rolls you. He doesn’t know any better, this is probably the only tournament he’s played in his life.
No he was a pro. Specialized in stud. That was a complete dbag move. He got crucified when it happened. She actually laid into him pretty good about his “speech” but they cut it out here.
You’d be right if every single thing you wrote wasn’t wrong. Zeidman is a high stakes cash game pro who also has multiple WSOP final tables and a bracelet to his name. Harman, I think, was just too stunned by the situation to blow her top. Zeidman made one of the Main’s all time bush league moves with that slow roll, and he knew exactly what he was doing.
My "Harman beat" story: @ 2014 HPT event in Indiana I was BB with a 10 8 off... I checked for a flop 8 8 6 flop... with two Diamonds SB bets, I raised, 3rd man folds... SB calls Non-diamond A turns... SB bets again, I raise, SB calls again... 10 of Diamonds on river!! I fill up, thinking he hit the straight or the flush... I confirm this when he checks... I shove and he insta-calls... I flipped the 10 8 to show the Full House, he flips 9 7 of Diamonds, revealing the straight flush 🤢 With no one raising pre-flop, this was just unavoidable I still made the money, but this one stung
I think Phil is better now but his wife must be a psychiatrist as as a saint for that to happen. I’m a dealer and absolutely hate players berating and blaming dealers when they lose, let alone players. That is very juvenile behavior. I hope he has realized this now.
Very brutal poker flips and some undeserved wins. Still, very entertaining. With the exception of the guy calling the other one sucker after being super lucky on the river - actually he was the sucker, just very lucky. That particular time. I have seen Matusow many times in top tables, never heard of the other guy :)
Greg Raymer made a 2nd consecutive deep run in this tournament after winning the previous year. He finished 25th and got crippled in a hand vs Aaron Kanter. I thought for sure that hand Vs Kanter would’ve made this top 5 as Kanter too got a miracle card on the river.
Harman took Zeidman’s slow roll really well. Especially since it’s the Main. What a total bush league move from Zeidman. Just imagine if he had pulled that move on somebody like Matasow or Hellmuth. I honestly can’t think of a worse slow roll.
@@ActivistVictor That is definitely possible, but Zeidman is a regular high stakes cash player, and has multiple WSOP final tables including a bracelet. People make mistakes but it’s a stretch for me to believe he didn’t know what was up given the situation.
@@YogSoth maybe. He did say I’m all in though vs just I call. If he said call I’d definitely believe you, but as it is I think that supports my stance. Suppose will never know though unless we ask Zeidman ourselves
Zeidman is a donk. Not only that he gave his hand away by saying I hope you dont have AK.. which means he doesn't.. and he doesn't have a boat either..
Looking back at that Hudson farha hand is hilarious. Hudson’s 3-bet size from out of position when that deep is terrible. Then he checks the flop despite unblocking Ax. And then goes completely nuts on the turn when Farha can certainly have better hands. He’s probably going to stacked either way given the flop, but his line probably lets Farha get away if he has Ax or KJ.
