Quads vs Quads in WSOP Main Event! 

What about Motoyuki Mabuchi?

I was playing at a table where the player went runner-runner inside cards for a straight flush to beat someone for nearly $3k... when that was literally the only runout which could have beat the other person

Dude lives in the bay area he probably plays at the same cardrooms I do lol

Yeah literally no one else can! Great comment!

Idk I shoved 2 7 off suit and lost once... talk about bad beats.

Really?

Where did you hear this?

I told him this.

@@jeromelawler902 They showed it on the pokergo stream

@@joshmorgenstern2636 Day 3 or 4.. Just go the final 30 mins or so it's the last hand of the stream

You should get over in the main event one day will make for an interesting podcast

I played in this years event. Podcast about it drops on Monday!

If that’s the case, the dude who had Quad As but lost to a Royal Flush on day 1 should have been given a free pass.

@@jaack looking forward to it

Each day there should be a bad beat prize on every tournament....

It's a cooler, not a bad beat.

@@HopyHop1 u can look at it both ways he was winning until the river. So it's a bad beat too.

@@haitzz23 He was winning until the turn. Also, over 700,000 chips went in the pot when the guy with quad 4's was losing. It would be a bad beat if the guy with quad 4's got all his chips in on the flop and the guy with 6's full on the flop ended up with quads. A bad beat is when most of the chips go in the pot while you're ahead but you end up losing anyway. A cooler is when your hand is so strong you can't fold it but, unlucky for you, your opponent has an even better hand.

Not a bad beat. This was a sick cooler, but the best pre-flop hand won. If they got it all in on the flop, then yeah, you could say that's a bad beat. But at every stage where chips went into the pot, 4-4 was behind.

Let's be fair: He thought he had the nuts.

Exactly. I would have cuss all over the place.

@@michaelss1294 and this guys saying "sorry buddy" haha...you mos def dont want to hear that after losing quads vs quads..

The Oliver Hudson Memorial hand was pretty sick.

Yeah. I was just about to say. But quads vs quads is just as bad.

Yeah. I was just about to say. But quads vs quads is just as bad.

@@TheAudioman15 I've had quad 7s destroyed by a royal flush too, so I know the pain. lol

@@kevinpalmer9756 yikes. What a gut wrenching feel. Although, with a board like that, you can save yourself from going broke. Tough? But there’s an outside chance when you see all that on the table, especially if there is a 4-card Royal flush out there and the other guy needs just the Ace to complete it. That’s easier to get away from than this I think.

The film would have been destroyed in the ensuing fire.

I'd give everything to view that.

Hellmuth flats to protect his tournament life #16

Imagine this happening to Phil and the opponent with the higher quads says something like “THAT’S HOW YOU PLAY POKER! PLAYED HIM LIKE A FIDDLE!” PH might literally explode

The Rio would no longer exist

Yeah he should get a bad beat jackpot or get his money back...

@@ghostofme7277 I mean, he's not going to get his money back, that would decrease the prize pool for the remaining players.

Yeah but WSOP could the 10k back to him for the crazy amount of views this will generate.

They traditionally only do that for whoever busts out on the bubble. It's a nice idea but if they started handing out $10,000 to everyone who suffers a bad beat at the World Series, where would it end?

@@Kalgon1 They give the bubble boy or girl a free entry in the next main event. They've done so every year for years now. In fact, they just did it last night when the bubble burst on this year's event.

If your math is correct (I'm not gonna check it), this is why I don't care about BBJ at casinos. If it happens it happens. Basically playing the lottery if you only play hands for that opportunity.

Ironically I'm sure the dude with 4's feels thunderstruck.

Lightning probably feels better.

probably much less likely. i played tens of millions of hands and this happened once to me.

About the same odds for kids dying by covid.

I know it is not quad... but I once misclick-folded a set and the guy shown a set. Just harder to misclick live!

Will, he could have gotten away from that hand before the flop. it looks like 6"s are the small blind and 4's is the big blind. Ace, jack suited is the first to act so that person probably bet. King queen seems like he called and so does the ace ten suited. So of course the blinds will just call with small pocket pairs. But if ace ten re raised then the small pairs could have folded before the flop. But after the flop there is no chance either one of them is folding.

If I somehow knew he had 66, I would still call off, because anything else would be too suspicious.

I wouldn’t have raised here. Greed is for him to raise the initial bet 55K. Probability/hands that can beat me vs someone taking me to the cleaners.

Mike postle HAhahaha

I was about to write the same thing. Brutal to go out in that fashion, especially after forking out 10k.

One free entry into next year’s tourney to the victim of the worst beat.

Some Casinos have "bad beat" jackpots. Liu's only prize is the bad beat story he gets to bore everyone with for the rest of time.

Yeah ngl this is a great idea, wonder if it could makes call easier in second to nut situatuons

I think a free roll for next years tourney would be fair

"I mean where do they find these guys?!? He can't even spell poker!"

@@JustinFH Haha, that line is one of his all time best, thx for the laugh mate

I have quads, he's supposed to .....

😂😅😂😅😂

@@rolandkennedy80 bust me anyway

It was his first hand at the table too - imagine quad aces being your final hand

Mike Postle would have found the fold on the turn! When it was checked to him!

Mike would look at his crotch then fold. Lol

Lol.

🤣🤣🤣

THIS! the "reluctant crotch" fold

There was a video one time of the 50k poker players championship (maybe 2008 or so) when a limit omaha hand had a quads vs quads scenario but in that instance nobody busted.

Technically quads is two pairs... just of the same thing..

You were supposed to have trips

He took it like a champ

Wouldn't you be?!

I remember crazy

Christ is that even possible

@@a-lexanderluthor1334 yes AA vs KQ suited. Then I think it was A - J - 10 suited, turn was a 6 or something, then river was the last A.

I'd think a Straight flush losing to a Royal would be the rarest hand, but I don't know if it's ever happened. (AK suited vs 89 of the same suit with 10JQ coming on the board)

If I were Liu, I would have dropped him within seconds..

@@zizou357 Doubt it

How is that a needle? He's just bragging that he correctly guessed the winning hand. Has nothing to do with needling anyone.

@@josephmorneau4339 It’s somewhat implying that “to me it’s obvious he had 66 so why wasn’t it obvious to you?” Could be a needle if interpreted that way.

@@zizou357 easy wanna be tough guy

AND it was quad ACES

Was that the dude with the wife beater on who looked like he was playing a home game lol?

Shawn d yes he has the royal

imagine 2 quads (4 kings and 4 aces) vs royal flush

@@shawnd980 yep

you wanna have it in cash game which will be easily 30k+ bad beat jackpot. sometimes even 100k+

At least you can tell yourself you got coolered instead of making a bad play

Same table Kapoor shoved with 44 preflop and hit trips on the turn to beat Moneymakers AQ... but hey you keep wishing pocket pairs away 👍 Edit: Moneymaker missed the board so he didn't even need to hit the 4 on the turn 🤷‍♂️

I wish Phil hellmuth had that pair of 4’s so that I could see his reaction afterwards. Wouldn’t that be a sight 😂😂

@Monah Zaini the place I play is aces full of Qs and it often goes to 100K from time to time. Gl

just like there is no way you will ever have an attractive woman in your life.... If you're going to state the obvious, I will too

@@michaelangst6078 i have an attractive woman in my life……your mom

Not true

@@michaelangst6078 we share your mom too

@@michaelangst6078 haha

i lost to runner runner quads online. It cost me my $2.50 buy in

Me too! Quad 3's vs quad 5's. I lost $20 lol

Same, I won with quad Aces vs quad nines and won a few bucks lol

I lost twice this way one cost me 450€ with my KK KKA flop against AA .... riverd the A

If u played for 7 dollars or 2 dollars u weren’t playing, Fkn embarrassing that u even typed it

Lol QQ vs 99?

Toby Lewis is still in the main event this year interestingly enough.

@@seankiesling2054 exactly, board was QQ959

Hahahahaha

🤮

@@shadowdawg04 Yep. Perfect emoji for the drivel poker players spew out when insisting the substantial luck inherent in poker can be fully kicked to the curb. All you need is skillz. And more skillz... like gt(mfng)o. Insufferable. Inappropriate. And, of course, churlish.

No, trying to increase the chances of a call, totally legit

Exactly. He doesn't know the other guy has 4's. He's trying to induce a call.

Hahaha Schulman and Ali are weird but I have respect for both of them especially nick

Best feeling and worst feeling all in the same hand. There is no worse beat. Quads over quads is as bad as it gets. At least with quads verse a straight or royal flush you know the possibility is there. The odds of quads over quads is just absurd.

@@TristanSune you can look it up, Ray Romano was also sitting at the table. That’ll be the rarest hand for a long while.

Unnecessary tanking especially when the opponent has raised over half his stack 🙄

the guy who busted on the bubble got an entry for the main event next year

Fr I would be sooo mad, the guy just put 200K plus you know gears never gonna fold if he has anything and snap fold if he somehow is bluffing, just hurry up, so just put the money in

Not zero to think about. He was considering weather to go all-in or just re-raise. He wanted to get as much value out of the hand as possible, and there was a chance, considering the range, that Lui would have folded an all-in bet. I'll agree that he did take a touch too long to consider his possibilities, but some time to ponder his next move is acceptable.

They were trying to think about how much value they could get. How much they ought to raise to extract the maximum amount of value.

its not a slow roll though thats just a normal spot to 'slow play'

What? Did you just insinuate that luck plays a role in poker? And to such a degree that it can eliminate the highest skilled player. We don't take kindly to that kinda sass round here. And for the record, Liu misplayed his hand.

@@jaybingham3711 Absolutely. Luck will always play a role in poker. That's why it's such a popular game. You can sit down first hand of the WSOP with AA and if someone with 67s goes all-in and you call. They will still win 1/4 of the time. Thats luck

Yeah, he does take way way too long here. A 15-second tank and an all-in is more than enough and even that isn't necessary when you think about it. If this guy has 66, what does he seriously think this guy is raising with? 55 doesn't raise as this guy looks super strong betting into 4 people that all could have a 6 (though don't know how the hand went), he knows he doesn't have a 6, so he either has some psycho bluff or 44. 44 is always calling, all bluffs are always folding so just get it in. Ludicrous tanking for that long.

@@jordansadler8608 agree and that is my point. I feel 80% of these decisions are not even based on the actual play itself but other irrelevant factors such as “hey I’m tv so let me just milk this” or “let me sit here tanking in case that 1% my opponent will fold”.

What makes you think he immediately knew how many chips the guy had left? And the guy made a dumb bet size.

Took way to long? Lol never heard of "Hollywooding" then

I wouldn't hug him because he slow rolled me. Dude had the nuts and he took like 90 seconds to make a decision

@@JasonXtK nah he doesn't know he also has quads you wanna sell like your bluffing so he calls the all in

@@JasonXtK How is it possibly a slow roll if there is action pending? Liu wasn’t all in yet…

Same hand almost exactly happened on high stakes poker, the hand was between Gus Hansen and Daniel Negranu.

I just said to my wife before I read this that if it happened to me, I would've went all in and walked outside to puke lol

I thought every casino had a Bad beat jackpot

Sorry for your bad beat. Puke-free play ought to be a bullet-point under bankroll management. Though casino meals can be sus.

@@foramuricy not in Florida

@@bradasstv and all the money went in after the turn, so sick

2% of 2% = .0004%

"Most?" Dude, no one is folding quads.

Most?

I flopped quad sevens once and got outdrawn by AA, running aces🤢

“Most” bruh ill pay you money to bring me the mythical pros that fold quads.

Ali and Nick 🔥

I must admit, I enjoyed the deadpan commentary.

they want you to pay for that!

They were covering the other feature table at the time

Nobody saying they would fold KK. We saying we will not GO ALL IN on the turn with KK. Muppet.

@@miken.bulaong3233 "Reyes almost has to find the fold on the flop, or certainly the turn" "It’s just a pair man. Just sweat it out and fold them Kings" "I woulda folded turn" " Fold and live to see another day with over 200k in chips" "I would have folded KK to that bet preflop then saw the hand 45min later and knew I was right." "Reyes should’ve found a fold. " "im not saying its an easy fold by any means but I still think the right thing was to just fold on the flop" SO MUCH FOR NOBODY!!!!!!

I flopped quads 4s in microstakes earlier. No action. :P

The response you should give is always "Oh you knew? What prize do you get for that?" That normally shuts them up.

It wouldn't at my local one. Has to be 10s or better smh

@@seankiesling2054 8s or better at mine. 500K bb jackpot and they have 3 on reserve. Hasn't been hit for two years. Total robbery bullsh*t.

More likely tanking to get a marginal hand to call. Instantly snapping all in(no way he knows his opponent has quads) will scare off several hands

That not how you play poker. You know you gonna win anyway so you just trap them.

My thoughts exactly.

It’s part of the game, stop whining and crying. They’re playing for big money. Not to entertain people watching on tv.

Imagine how many rounds more you could watch if everyone would simply play with open cards!

You are so wrong.

@@shukuladay8883 why’s that? He just raised and put more than 60% of his stack in it. Meaning he must have a 6 for sure so he wasn’t going to fold ever in that situation.

I think it was a value bet as an over pair could check back. Or even pocket 5's. Terrible way to get value owned.
