The Most Iconic Poker Hand! Johnny Chan vs. Erik Seidel at 1988 WSOP Main Event! 

lol he has hang on until he has no hair, he is still playing, and always come second.

He is doing much better poker wise then Chan since then

It wasn't the nuts... there were 3 diamonds on the board

@@27jasonfrank 2 diamonds

That's how the 2024 champions club tournament came out when they sat down for heads up they played two or three hands and maybe less but it was over quick in 2024

Nah. This was the 1400s when the average person size was 4’9’’.

@@calgaryhockey6991 😂😂

He looks like he's 6'10 there

Back then they called the flop the turn

​@jeffsudbeck4681 they called the flop the flop in this video...

They're referring to a previous hand where Chan was behind. Not this hand

They were talking about an earlier hand when Chan was short

Value bet almost certain. Trying to induce a call from a bluffcatcher.

@@cwolf208 Thank you (both of you). I asked this same question in another thread. In the movie Rounders, Petra says something like "Johnny knows Seidel will bluff at it, has the patience to wait him out" or something like that. But Seidel started the hand with 15 BBs, flopped top pair and had less than a PSB on the river. The river shove seems to be value all the way, hoping for a call from a weaker Q or more likely a hand like JT.

@@6thwilbury2331 rounders poker scenes are actually comically bad. he was definitely value betting.

Whoa!

You got $10,000 chips for your $10,000…it was the easiest way of explaining it to Joe Public. Phil Hellmuth STILL treats tournament chips like dollars even though you start with like 60k chips…. honey he called 2000 dollars on a jack nine suited!!! These idiot players… etc.

Exposing your hole cards face up (without letting them touch the muck) is not a fold.

It's not live broadcast and edited later.

Yeah, what's with this announcer? Sounds like a bad Hollywood movie script.

JOHNNY CHAN BEATS ERIK SEIDEL

Seidel is an absolute beast.

Seidel angled tf outta him with the flop 2bet. I don’t think at that time they would be that strict

He says “call” while the camera is switching angles. There must have been a problem with the live audio from the table because you can’t hear Jack McClelland saying anything either, and he’s clearly talking into the loudspeaker.

hahahah it's heads up. he absolutely can get called by worse. easy game when you see the cards though.
