Three handed in the Million Dollar Cash Game things got heated when Dwan and Ivey played a sick pot, the first $1m+ pot ever televised! #1tripz1 #Poker #PokerHands
What's up all! We had to remove nearly all videos from the channel for copyright reasons (even though we had deals with the respective owners who were making good money from them!). Until we figure out where we take the channel moving forward, we'll start adding some classic clips back to the channel. Enjoy!
I mean he's not wrong, at the time these were the 3 best in the world. If ANYONE could get away, it'd be one of them, but its very unlikely, especially against Tom who was very loose at the time and bluff-heavy.
I genuinely had to laugh, imagining Phil going absolutely crazy about that bad beat. There would have been minutes, what do i say, HOURS of censoring beeps 😂
@@undeafeatable36 Right? Back then TV producers were certain that no one would actually be interested in watching actual gameplay so most televised poker was just all-in after all-in with announcers overreacting to everything. Then I remember when cash games started airing and every other minute they had to remind us that "THESE AREN'T TOURNAMENT CHIPS FOLKS THIS IS REALLLL MONEY!!!!11" 😂
Its just a sign of how much poker has evolved. He can't be piling there when he holds Ac. Because it blocks many semi-bluff raises. And on a board that connected nobody is piling a set, so Phil weights Dwan heavily towards 7-6 by holding the Ac
Loses 550k in one hand and calmly says "wow". If it was me,they would be .moving to a new table and getting that one professionally cleaned because there would be vomit 🤢 all over it.
I have to comment. At this time, Tom was still considered a scrub/ at cash games he would be treated like a kid. Especially by the big rollers. So yes these hands propelled him to the atg level he is today. He hated that he did to Ivey but he was ecstatic
@@toptenguy1bruh what? 😂 how could you not have been of a fan of Durrrr back then? Dude brought so many fish to poker tables because they didn't understand the nuance of Tom's game, and just thought running huge bluffs all the time was good poker. Tom was a phenom back then, and CRUSHED televised cash games for like a decade. All action, no brakes, and just beat the brakes off all the pros.
Antonius was sleeping throughout the hand. All of those guys had lost a million in one session before. It was called "Getting your cherry broken" by the Bobby's Room players.
This was at the tail end of a very long session. That's why they are only 3 handed. Everyone else already went to sleep. The announcers comment his wincing from the action, but the reality is he's just falling asleep/fighting to stay awake lmao.
@@DevINCProd doesn’t matter his point is valid. You have the low end of the straight, these are pros he’s not gonna raise with air. Even if you think he is, call and see a river. A jack would’ve made it an easy fold cuz he’s now beaten by Quads, a full house, and a better straight.
@@DevINCProd A little bit. I mis-spoke. I didn’t recall the flop correctly when typing. There are 3 types of straights available. A-2, 2-6, 6-7 gets there on the turn. So, 3 poker hands make a straight & Phil has the worst of the 3. PLUS JJ,33,55,35 could boat up & flush draws available The point is there are better spot in poker to ship 1/2 million. Some would say, call the turn and rule out all the above mentioned hands before calling off the rest. I’m sure Dwan thinks it’s an excellent spot to ship, and none of us can hold a candle to either one. I’m sure if you played that exact scenario out with those two legends 10x, Phil gets away from it a few times. It is a very rough spot for sure.
@@someguy8498 Even Durrrrr isn't calling a 3bet with 62 though. So effectively A2 is the 2nd nuts. The fact that sets, 2-pairs and flush draws have equity against him is a reason to put the money in while ahead, not play it slow. You're not trying to get away from the 2nd nuts 3-handed.
The reason why Ivey had almost no reaction is because full tilt pots back then were often getting into these sizes. They were desensitized to pots of this magnitude.
Huh? No reaction? Bro anyone and everyone can see he was hurting after that pot. Grimacing, neck scratching, tossed the remainder of what he owed right in front of dwan.
i think its just the type of player him and Durr are ...they don't whoo haaaa and all that win or lose i mean this is the most you'll get out of Ivey 7:30 ...listen to that cheek suck or w.e it is lol
You see people lose $100 at a casino poker game and start losing their mind, and Ivey loses a $1.1 million dollar pot and says "wow, nice hand". Amazing how the pros can take these beats.
It probably wasn't all his money either. Most pros are at least partially staked at the higher limits. They sell action, so the variation doesn't hurt as much.
I remember when this season of "Million Dollar Cash Game" originally aired - at the time it kind of "broke" televised poker, but then not too long after it ushered in a new era The problem was these three (Dwan, Ivey and Antonius) pretty much just kept upping the stakes and playing at a level that made the rest of the field uncomfortable and drove them away... and as a result of the "wow" factor in seeing this level of play all the shows that were on at the time televising low to mid stakes cash games all pretty much died. For a brief while TV poker went back to tournaments but then as sponsorship deals started getting made and poker became bigger and bigger it brought in the era of the high stakes televised poker cash games On one hand it got to be pretty exciting to see the high stakes cash game action, but on the down side a lot of those initial TV poker stars (made so from the first couple of seasons of World Poker Tour) were off TV because they couldn't compete or wouldn't play at the higher stakes.
a lot of combined things -the scam of FTP (tilt Wednesday). It lasted almost a year if I remember correctly when PS bought the debt and started paying the players -black Friday -several countries started raising/creating gambling taxes -several countries and PS started created their own domain which decrease the amount of players on the global version -a lot of people started uploading poker material for free, raising the abilities of players, therefore, creating more regs and reducing the amount of recreational players that keep the ecosystem running -PS stop the supernova -rake increase but rakeback and promotions started going otherwise (til today, PS have the worst rewards and they keep cutting each year)
Crazy thing is online poker has never matched the magic that was Full Tilt Poker. That shit was too fun. So many fish, so much action. You could make such a good side income if you were just decent at the time. It'll never be that good again.
use the Pat Riley analogy. I think it's more like this... If I need a person to win me a hand of poker to win a tournament... I'd pick Tom Dwan, if I needed a person to win me a hand to save my life... I'd pick Phil Ivey.
Every time I see this I think Ivey had Tom on JJ so thought he was well ahead when the money went in. Funny part is the river drills quads for Tom so it’d been even worse to lose like that.
Just went all-in in an online tournament, similar scenario, had the A2, other guy had the 67 and raised me on the river. Had to go back and watch this video so that I don't quit poker altogether.
