The best part of it all was that saying what he said "My friend told me not to show any more bluffs" which would mean he's holding a bluff, but poker is such a mind game too when people talk and say things to get you to call or fold and messed with him mentally
@@zilong0827that whole 76o hand Q4 shove and using QJ as bluff were all pretty questionable. You were entertaining to watch tho and I’d get annoyed at the tough situations you’d put me in lol
If they didn't broadcast his holdings, I think he could have made the final table. His style is easy to figure out once you can confirm his hands. I don't think his talking hurt him at all, he knows what he's doing.
@@OneEyedJack01 could be right. Hard to think of many hands you're beating in that spot. Sometimes after you run super hot it's hard to give up on the aggression when you cool off.
*I absolutely disagree with FORCING players to show their previous hands to other players 1hr after it happens.* I truly cannot believe players tolerate this.
Well, we don't have to that far back to the 2006 WSOP because William Kassouf in the 2016 WSOP was one of the top speech players and he had a way to get under your skin...right Griffin Benger??
His speech play is fking hilarious 18:39 “you need to think longer” 😂 and at the start with set of 10s, “i have no clue what you have at all” -> “i put you on AQ because you cant call”
In my opinion, the guy luckily went on a hot streak and found himself in a situation, that was way above his skill and comfort zone. Did not take long for him to lose all chips with dumb play. Anyway, he probably had the tournament of his life and a nice payday.
True, other players now knows what he's done these past days, in bluffing etc but he'll adapt! "He knows that you know, and knowing this will be the known"
i experiment this style of play in my $5, $10 buy in tourneys on bovada and ACR sometimes. It works well in the early + middle stage of the tourney esp against check-heavy opponents. However, I usually bust top 20 or so basically right before final table in a stupid hand that usually I think I would of folded bc when I play ultra aggro Im always aware that ppl put me on air and trying to clickback which leads to more aggro play and ofc I run into the nuts.
Folding KK and QQ to this guy just because there's an ace is bananas. I'd have committed to calling the whole way down unless maybe it ran out a one liner to a straight.
can't believe his reaction as he was holding trip aces... so bad. surely that is pretty much the nuts against that dude but karma got him back on that rivered straight
@@tommyz0123 there were also times where he was bailed out too. Please watch the full video. He played well none the less. When you're playing well plus lucking out on the losing spots it's running hot.
When the WSOP started banning "table talk" I forget what year it was, (but I recall Negreanu complaining about it), it was almost as bad as when Bud Selig made the All Star game the decider of home field advantage in the World Series. Table talk is a huge part of the game. Absolutely ridiculous.
I enjoy watching this video. However, whoever is in charge of filming ?or is the editing? Please please please……the fading in and out of focus is horrible!!!! Please FIX!
It was a 3 bet pot and these guys are playing for millions of dollars… also he knows that zhang has a big stack and will likely face a big river bet. Easy to say when you see the cards and not deep in the main event like these guys 👍
Ppl love to diss Jamie and what he did with all that reverse psycology in that WSOP was obviously not sustainable, but it sure was entertaining. Even on the High Stakes Poker show when he had Kings and he knew Sammy had aces he talked Sammy into checking the river because Jamie kept saying I'm not folding I have to call you. I can't remember the exact hand or what Sammy was afraid of but all that talk made him check and Jamie was able to get to a river showdown without another bet. That was his best moment IMO
@@ToneRetroGaming Agreed. Jamie is the only player in the world who would have saved $180,000 in that hand. Plus it was arguably the most entertaining poker hand of all-time. That is one Jamie's other achievements. Jamie gave us some of the most entertaining poker hands of all-time. Poker snobs will dismiss this, but they forget that people play poker for entertainment and on that front, Jamie certainly delivered. Jamie Gold is a legend of the game.
Not sure what happened to Zhang. I think other players figured out his tactic of bullying to get them to fold before seeing a river card -- and on his final hand, to harbor any belief that the river card would make his Straight was just bananas. But what an exciting WSOP it was with Zhang in it. That cash of $67K will surely afford Zhang six (6) more trips to The Main Event. See ya next year!
40:26 probably the funniest table comment besides the Smith @ 35:00 "DO. YOU. HAVE. ANYTHING TO SAY??" 😂 "guys just a general note to the entire table like this is like [indiscernible]... 30 minutes in i've only played FOUR hands, this is like the sLOWEST table i've *EvER* played!!1"
Zhang plays like it's a cash game. Not great cash game play either some of his bluffs don't make sense. But it's so much fun to watch someone playing like that on the ME feature table, against likes of Dan Smith nonetheless.
Not a genius when he doesn't adapt once other players adjust to what he's doing and that's exactly how he goes out. Watch Phil Ivey if you want to see the master at adapting to changing dynamics.
He is going to bet all 3 streets, so unless you have lots of chips or willing to get it in folding is not terrible. My issue is they should be trying to get kk in pre and not let him bluff.
@@ktl66 Nah I mean in Vs tight field you have more chances to win by playing that style of game, than by waiting for a hand to play (which may not even come)
I think I would enjoy playing against Zhang he is very interesting character. He is an odd one, but I am sure if I watched enough of his crazy chip arrangement bets I could find a tell in there.
It's well past time to make the final 10 players the "Final Table". If you can physically sit at the final virtual table? It's the final table. Enough is enough. All that way to not even be "included" is pretty brutal. And the game is already brutal enough on it's own.
Who commentates with Ali nejad the I could listen to him all day makes everything so captivating and informative and very laid back at the same time he’s brilliant??
Jaime wasn't crazy on his run... he was chip leader from 'I believe' Day 2 until his win... He applied max pressure on smaller stacks and hit an insane amount of draws... and he hit many larger pocket pairs vs his opponents smaller large pockets when his opponents were in great positions to go all-in... a few JJ all-ins when Jamie had QQ/KK... he didnt play insane, a comparable skilled player would have had the same outcome with Jamie's holdings... that 3-4 all-in with 5s-6s-10 was not optimal... I was suprises Wasicka didnt call with the 7s-8s straight flush draw... With 2 other players all-in it adds more value... Doesn't he snap call 1 player's all-in with that hand at almost any part of the tourney? He could only be worried about a higher flush draw... but then again, when you have a chance to be Heads-Ups for the Main Event championship... the pay jump to 2nd was about $3mil... haha, not a bad fold when you're looking at that... looking the same as winning a $250,000 tourney every month for a year.
