Anyone know what happen to Balmigere? I used to play him head's up on French fulltilt back in 2010-2011 on 10-20 or 20-40€ tables. Him and Saout were monsters in the French poker arena. That set of 10s fold was world class, he is such an underrated player.
Anthony what a decent, polite ambassador of Poker. The way you welcome other players coming to the table is fabulous. Wish others will learn this manner from you.
Me too. That was a bad beat but to be accused of slow rolling beforehand is an insult. Ok if he spent five minutes over it...but the play indicated he MAY have had aces.
I thought so too at the time when this first aired, but she's obviously doing that intentionally to provide some levity for Tom in a stressful situation with a lot of money at stake. He's lucky to have someone who cares about him and tries to keep him calm. It's really sweet honestly.
Ryan Fair couldn't get away from pocket 10s, then talked shit to Pham, it wasn't a slow roll, playing for millions of dollars, then Fair gets a miracle 10, then talks shit, 0 class
If memory serves, there were several Blair Rodman-Phil Ivey confrontations in the late stages of these episodes, with no mention of the Kill Phils. Were those books not out yet?
People that don’t understand taking a minute to think the hand over before making the call have obviously never run deep in a big tournament. You’ve played for days, it’s a grind, you’ve seen bad beats, coolers, and you’re pretty much putting everything you’ve worked for on one hand. The dude that won has no etiquette at all
Beat K10, 910 and other suited cards. Not defending his play, but Kopp was playing bully all day long, he later got caught by Moon. Kopp can have anything on that spot, but if it were me I wouldn't risk half my stack calling him down with ak high late in the main event.
Agreed, great hand to analyze. Feel like Martin really shouldn’t have bet 500k on the turn. Once Kopp made that big raise for nearly all of Martin’s stack, he was no longer getting the right odds to continue, and needed to fold. That gross situation could’ve been avoided by checking behind instead.
@ 22:42 (the hand with sanders and Dennis Phillip’s) sanders mentioned he was dealing unknowingly with I believe an aneurysm and if he would of won the hand with Phillips he would of been dead
I’ve always wondered this. Do u think any of the long time pros hate these huge fields in the main event? It basically guarantees they will never win it. All the pros who won this event won it before the poker boom.
Bond , ask Bill how he gets a beautiful woman like Jennifer and I believe the answer is he knows how to control his emotions and he doesn’t let anything bother him
Man if I ever showed up as an amateur playing against like a table like both Helmuth lakk Phil Ivy Sexsmith Jennifer Phil’s girlfriend I mean I might as well just laugh and go for it like I’m totally screwed anyway anyways
Cada has four bracelets and another main event FT. Darvin never had another meaningful cash. Darvin was a fun story, but if you really think he was anything another than a fish on a heater then you're quite the donk yourself.
@@shadowdawg04 I don't know where you get your information that the pros disagree with that statement cuz I've heard many pros say that it's too longer was the greatest some of these pros were in diapers when Stu ungar was winning the guy was a genius he was a savant
@@SteveAustin-jp3ev You're 100% clueless about what makes a poker player "great". Stu was a phenomenal player, adept at reading people and having the instincts, but that's where his skill ended. He had zero bankroll management, he was always broke, always high, always homeless, always borrowing, always down and out, despite his wins. A poker player plugs life leaks as well as in-game leaks. Having no bankroll means you're not the greatest ever, period.
@@Prolific_Troll I agree that stu had issues being broke being on drugs. However he was a better player than anybody else passed and present. We're talking two separate categories I'm not talking about money management and proper health proper eating habits.
Rest in peace, Darvin Moon.
Young death.
I didn’t even know he was sick.
@@EmatchedI said doc, she’s choking…
But that’s modern medicine for you
Xenia!! I can’t breathhhhee
What a legend. One of the great characters in Main Event history. We need more like him..
"Sir, I got a read on you, careful" - the guy who just folded the winner [insert Ross ok sure face]
Dennis Phillips I forgot how amazing his back to back run was 3rd in 08 and 43rd in 09 that’s an insane run.
Total sack
He should have jammed thar AK vs the AQ no doubt he doesn't know what dude got but pre putting in that much just jammed
Thank you again for sharing these. So much nostalgia.

Jack Link’s Beef Jerky Pocket Cam may be the greatest phrase yet created in the English language
Agree..😂😂😂
Has marvellous connotations
I think margets is Dario Minieri in a wig
I thought so too but then where's the scarf?
I remember watching this when it first came out and thinking there was no way Billy Kopp would not make the final table.
Been playing for 20 years and still have never gotten a run of cards that Moon got… his cards might be the equivalent of winning the Powerball.. twice
Anthony what a decent, polite ambassador of Poker. The way you welcome other players coming to the table is fabulous. Wish others will learn this manner from you.
I don't believe Pham slowrolled Fair. You have ti have the nuts and know it to even think about slowrolling. I wished Pham would've won that hand.
He didn’t slow roll him, the guy was all in, Pham was just deciding whether or not to call. Fair was upset cause he knew he was beat
More of a nitroll than a slowroll. It looks like that was a 30BB shove, making kings pre a fist-pump call.
Me too. That was a bad beat but to be accused of slow rolling beforehand is an insult. Ok if he spent five minutes over it...but the play indicated he MAY have had aces.
Darvin Moon was just the nicest guy in this tournament
*Stack em, Stack em, to the TOP!* might be the most annoying catch phrase of all time 😂😂😂😂
Brett Richey feels otherwise 😜
She's hot

Look at that guy & look at her.... overall id say he did pretty well
1:22:15 "I had the nuts...flopped the nuts!" ...Shivers!!
Ben Lamb is somehow always there in the end. What a player
Congrats to Jonathan Tamayo 15 years later!
He's a cheat
I really hope they gonna upload the 2010 and the one Greg Merson won (2012 or 2013 ??)
Joseph Ward got DESTROYED this episode by Phil Ivey. BRUTAL
9:13.
What would possess you to call an all-in with two over and a pre-flop raise with two 4s?
Ryan Fair couldn't get away from pocket 10s, then talked shit to Pham, it wasn't a slow roll, playing for millions of dollars, then Fair gets a miracle 10, then talks shit, 0 class
in memory of his mum
Couldn’t get away? He was already in 😅
If memory serves, there were several Blair Rodman-Phil Ivey confrontations in the late stages of these episodes, with no mention of the Kill Phils. Were those books not out yet?
Nice raise with pocket fours Leo.
I don’t think Pham was slowing rolling his Kings at all. I would take a moment to think if I got any Aces signals from my opponent as well.
Agreed, and it was a really big pot.
If you are seriously considering folding KK there, you should stop playing poker.
@@OneEyedJack01 Maybe not but still can take your time when you phase an UTG 4bet.

@@OneEyedJack01 you should stop playing poker if you just play the cards and not the player….
When WSOP coverage was fun.
That AK call is brutal on a QQJ board, only beating A10
Beat K10, 910 and other suited cards.
Not defending his play, but Kopp was playing bully all day long, he later got caught by Moon.
Kopp can have anything on that spot, but if it were me I wouldn't risk half my stack calling him down with ak high late in the main event.
I really enjoyed that hand between Billy Kopp and John Martin at 12:30
Agreed, great hand to analyze. Feel like Martin really shouldn’t have bet 500k on the turn. Once Kopp made that big raise for nearly all of Martin’s stack, he was no longer getting the right odds to continue, and needed to fold. That gross situation could’ve been avoided by checking behind instead.

Bamboozled!!
*whamboozled.
Chad used his "Ragin Cajuns" at least 3x this main event.
This series was the best I've watched yet, thanks to the commentators!
Calm down dude. That wasn't a slowroll
That hand saved Steve Sanders Life.
I’ve always wondered this. Do u think any of the long time pros hate these huge fields in the main event? It basically guarantees they will never win it. All the pros who won this event won it before the poker boom.
Is Dan Harrington still alive? He was the best.
Bless Julie
You ever heard of aces fair, wasn't a slow roll at all. 40.00
“So sick… so siiiick”… not really you just played the hand poorly sir.
20.09 This is Tamayo who win the Mainevent 2024
RIP McLovin
Who?
Stack em, stack em - to the top! That was cringe 😂
Leo and Dario related?
I commented just now I think that’s Dario in a wig 😂😂

toupee @ 35:07
How many go out with AK? That and AQ are the worst hands, Great fold with the pocket 10s early, AK went all in anf Set of 99s
Thats being results orientated. Obviously 10s dominated 9s so its a bad a fold. Cant blame the AK call just stanadrd flip with a 9 being on the flop.
Toms wife plays poker but she don’t even sound like a player the way she cheers
I would call with A K suited you gotta gamble sometimes
Bad shove by John Martin
Bond , ask Bill how he gets a beautiful woman like Jennifer and I believe the answer is he knows how to control his emotions and he doesn’t let anything bother him
Every man would take a wife like Julie Schneider.
Schneiders wife is both hilarious and annoying 😂
Absolutely would tho
@@4oclockHereHuhHUH 🤣🤣🤣
Schneider out kicked his coverage for sure😅
She's very supporative, but when her husband has to apologize for her celebrations.. maybe it's time to bring it down a notch or two
Man if I ever showed up as an amateur playing against like a table like both Helmuth lakk Phil Ivy Sexsmith Jennifer Phil’s girlfriend I mean I might as well just laugh and go for it like I’m totally screwed anyway anyways
Wow Tomato won a hand without any help from rail or computer help, amazing! "wuaw slowroll"..Wuaw you're a mor0n.
Think I'm a hater of this Ryan dude
Moon shoulda curbstomped cada, luckbox - and don’t give me “he MaDe FiNaL tAblE MaNy yEaRs LatEr”
Doesn’t he have like 4 or 5 bracelets?
Says the guy giving shoulda woulda coulda’s many years later.
