"AM I THE BEST?!? Come on, SAY IT!" "...I'd say you're pretty good"😂😂😂 love it
Kenny tran is a great guy. Awesome to deal to
Usually when players say and act the way he did I hate it. But for some reason it feels so wholesome and enjoyable when he does it lol
Idk what Tran is doing making that call though? The flop was bet, then the turn and then it was followed through on the river 🤷🏽♂️ it completely stinks of A❤️ K! … 90% of the time an 8 is no good there with four ❤️s on the board.
@@clintonmanning6433 he had some type of the read.. the guy was betting awfully fast
I think this was the same series where Kenny called someone down with J high in the H.O.R.S.E. tournament. Jack high is my sickest call as well, and I have lost money chasing reads attempting to beat that call with 10 high. That was awhile ago... Going with your gut factors in a lot less in poker when everyone just factors ranges/plays as a solver.
Boukai took it incredibly well like a champ
The Kenny Tran hand is one of the best calls I’ve ever seen in poker in that stressful of a situation and so much at stake.
I'm sure the guy who Kenny Tran called had to re-evaluate life for a couple years after that hand. One of the sickest soul reads ever.
I would just go get my hotel n blanket n cover myself. Can't soul read a mummy
One of my favorite TV poker hands ever
great call but sadly he tried it again later and got busted
Haha you're a legend
Great call. When you think about it his range is super polarized on the river as I don't think an amateur like that is competent enough to be bet/folding on the river with a Q high or K high flush (the big sizing is telling too and they're deep in the main event so the stakes are high) and he's never betting a set (that turned into a boat on the river) on that turn. So it's either an A high flush or air almost always.
"I'm a genius!" And Kenny Tran is back. A super deep run in the Main in 2022. Only 20 players left!
When the main was happening and I saw him I recognized him instantly. Dude is a legend. Think he place 16th? Still sick run from him glad to see him back
Who Cares. Jerry Yang disappeared off the planet.
Glad he didn't win in 2022.
Respect to both guys in the first clip. Khan was making sure his opponent wasn't tilting at his play and the other guy was gracious in defeat.
Kenny said in an interview that he knew Winston didn't have a heart because he never checked to see if he had one and bet quickly. Kenny knew he had a red card so he had to check. Winston never gave him an impression he had a red card.
Kenny Tran- the reason we are all here is at 2:45
Back when Poker was more fun...
the 2003-2010 timeframe was the peak of poker!
Yup
@@videoluvr4204 yup and I was hooked
Scotty praising Rahme I still remember seeing that live. The Respect 🙌🏻
Lam is an intelligent man. He won over 4 millions for 2nd place. He quit poker. He bought a house and invest in business. The man is set for life.
The best chip EV for life
“Oh I forgot we have the bearded lady concession going on” - best line
2007 Main event was definitely a colorful event comparing to other main events.
I would love to see an interview with scotty nguyen about bubbling the final table after being cheepleader.
He wasn’t chipleader; he was like 3rd or 4th I think.
awww shoulda had an honorable mention: Jerry Yang vs Lee Watkinson's Wife in a praying showdown!
It was awesome when Kenny Tran told him to stop praying at the table, how stupid can you be asking god to show his glory at a poker table, i guess he considers himself a Christian ambassador for poker ,no matter how you justify it its fucking gambling and it ruins so many people's lives including top professionals, but Jerry is such a good person he is deserving of God's help to win all that money from people, i dont care if he was charitable hes a fucking moron and doesn't belong anywhere near a poker table, hes so lucky that 2007 was the year of complete morons playing poker and basically gsve him chips the either tournament,
Have a link to that video? I've seen it mentioned several times but never watched it.
Doesn't he say something like "baby jesus one time"? Lol
@@seviren I think its something like "Father... in the name of JESUS CHRIST, cmon, let me win... this ONE!" :D :D
@@misterpfister8597 Hahahaha. I wonder if he started a church or something.
Tran was so fired up...hell of a call.
"I'm a genius!" Lmaooo
58s out of position against the new chip leader? oh man what simpler times you saw in poker
He was steaming for sure
yang played in the 08 event and was out day one luck was on his side after helm busted out of this final table gift wrapped handed to him on a silver platter eventually ended up squandering his winnings
Forgot about that guy Hilm’s epic meltdown. Final table chip leader to 9th place. Still won close to a million, but ouch
Yang actually played a lot better than most people realize. Yang kinda bossed that final table, he made some really good plays and was fearless. He played to win.
Yang is the biggest fish to win the title since 2000. He makes so many loose calls with one pair. There’s a reason you haven’t heard of him since
@@noblewarrior8848 Name one hand that Yang played badly
@@JohnSmith-su3ze just because he wins the pots doesn’t mean he played it well. Even the hand he knocked Helm out with. He calls in like 4 seconds like top pair is the nuts on that board.
Then someone else folds QQ or KK at the FT against him. He got insanely lucky. He’s only won $31,000 since 2007 and hasn’t made a FT in almost 15 years.
@@noblewarrior8848 did he win the World Series of poker main event?
@@noblewarrior8848 a pro won the world series in 2000, which makes your comment look stupid and uncredible
Rahme make a amazing call, in that situation and in that tournament, wow.
I’ve played a few tournaments with Raymond Rahme, a pure gentleman and makes those kinda reads and plays pretty often.
Sick call by Rahme
Weird fact he opened a really nice shushi restaurant in my home town Merced CA called pocket eights after he won, has a bunch pictures on the walls to :)
lets put Jerry Yang aside and remember that Hilm basically donked off all his chips to the worst players at the final table...this is way worse than Jerry Yang winning the main lol
Henry CC Agreed lol!
sometimes it better to b lucky i guess..i only know 1 know friend that made it to the final table ..so give jerry alittle credit
It’s funny. Cause I agree and disagree with you.
I knew someone would call yang a donk because that was my initial reaction to him.
Let’s get one think out of the way right off the bat. Hilm got way to aggressive against the person at the table with the least experience.
But remember yang wasn’t claiming to be a Pro.
Which makes what I’m about to say make sense.
There’s two rules in poker. Don’t go on Tilt and When the time comes make your opponent make a decision for all of their stack.
Both took place in this hand.
I’m from the “Atc” club. But now that I’m more seasoned. My game has evolved. So I love me some suited connectors. Always have. But this was the not the time to play em. (Yang isn’t a stupid man, he knows dude on tilt) easy decision.
His bet sizing is perfect.
1 million pre flop (Hilm is on tilt, “Beautiful Bet”) he knows he’s calling with almost anything. So when putting him on a range. You don’t really have to give him much credit. Flop bet “2 million” once again he over bets the pot. Here’s where Yang makes the play that wins him the tournament pretty much. He Bets 4 million.
So why is this perfect. Cause to the average player “Hilm” donks off his chips “maybe”. Ever read Super System lol?
Pretty much every street Yang forces Hilm to make that decision to whether or not play for his enitire stack. If Hilm wasn’t on tilt. He’s playing 2.5 max on the flop.
The hands over and Hilm probably has a good chance of rebounding.
But poker a game of variance and variables. So we know what happens next. Yang over bets the turn, Hilm shoves and Yang fades the dreaded River.
4 million was brilliant. He knew Hilm was gonna shove, and knew exactly what he had to fade.
Like my man Mike McDermot said “It wasn’t luck, I got outplayed in that hand against KGB” Hilm definitely did.
That one hand gave Yang such a huge chip lead. Nobody else stood a chance.
No donks here man. Just a classic Pro vs. Very Skilled Amateur. Both can play Yang just emptied the clip and said “you want your flush I’m gonna make you chase a bad situation to hit it.
Btw “Great fkn call Kenny” he knew he was good and played him like fiddle.
Hilm should hv folded preflop to the 4x raise when Yang was the only one who can bust him especially w ICM
30/70 with fold equity for ~10 mil isn't exactly a donk...
BULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDOZER
Wwwhhhooooo haaaaaa whooooo whoo haaaa
I remember binge watching the old WSOP on youtube when I was in University. Who would of thought I would have to pay to watch these videos again. What a world
Hilm with an icm punt for the decades, cheap leading the final table to out in 9th has to suuuuck
His total career earnings are like 670k of which ~525k are of this tournament..
Chance of a lifetime wasted indeed loool
He was shocked when Yang called. You can see it in his face. He f'd up REAL bad.
If he used any "live reads" you can tell how strong Yang was and he had a good hand ! !st mistake is playing 58 out of the SB but why punt away your tournament life like that
@@kevincloonan9787 yah stands up
Announcements of bet jeez.
That sir,Rahme,omg...that is 6th sense right there ...one of the sickest calls I ever seen
2007 was gold with the 2 meltdowns from Nguyen and Hilm.
2006 n 2007 my favorite years for wsop
I remember this final table very well because of Phillip Hilm -- came in as the chipleader and finished 9th by repeatedly committing ICM suicide.
Tbh that Kenny Tran hand was a sick soul read and the like MAYBE two times I've done that kind of shit in my life I felt like I just got shot and slowly revealed my bullet proof vest.
4:54 Kanye Tran
Doubleg122 Memes lol 😂
Hand 4: the mistake Winston makes is being too aggressive and yet too passive at the same time. The immediate bets, along with the increased sizing screams bluff, not made hand. Throw in the announcing of the bets and it all seems desperate, the actions of someone trying to bully rather than get paid for the winner.
Boukai got both barrels to the heart in that first hand.
Jerry Yang played a fantastic tourney. I enjoyed his style.
This is remembered as the year Scotty Nguyen blew his chance at a 2nd main event title
Such a good sport.poker players like this are nice to play with.
Lmaooo im definitely using that tran celebration next time i make a big hero call
“I’m a genius!!”
Trans call was amazing but wow that guy was playing fast. Like crazy bully bet fast.
Oooooh the rollercoaster that is poker!!!
Kenny Tran! I saw him make a sick call at commerce casino cash game live! He called a 100k bet on the river with J9. Board was AKJ52 , straight and flush were there...3rd pair with 9 kicker it was good old man just folded
This whole video was so sick
"And there's one unhappy multimillionaire" lol
That last video with the burn 6 on the river must still give that guy nightmare every night!
Anyone who says they need to move up in the stakes to where their raises get respect needs to watch this video
So sick seeing Ray Henson so young here. Houston legend.
still love that kahn dance @10:34, 16 years later
This is way more entertaining to watch (for me) than the high rollers!
Back when Poker was still gambling and the modern day gold rush. The quality of play can't hold a candle to what we see today, but as a fan and spectator the game was so much better back in the day.
Quiet
I still can’t believe that Yang won it that year. Just got really lucky!!
did he get lucky? yes of course but everyone has to get lucky over seven days of 12 hour play. Hilm was the real donk.
@@djjohnson9389 It did help when one person made a monumentally bad fold against him and the chip leader coming into the final table donked off all his chips to him.
no one can win the main event (or any big tourney) without running atleast reasonably well
Yang rhymes with Wang.
that is all.
Lmfaooooooooooooooo
"Seat open 76" ... For years I was wondering why people kept busting from table 76 until I learned that they recorded audio from the room and added it to several years of broadcasts for background noise.
Whoa damn I never realized this!
😮😮😮
Man that call from Kenny Tran was something special
lol you must not have watched or played much poker
Remko this one of the best years the WSOP so many interesting characters very entertaining please have a good at Guest to go over 2007 main event
Who did you have in mind? Many of those players are no longer active in poker!
@@PokerGO I think kenny tran or hevad khan could be an intresting choise to interview.
Scotty nguyen would probably be the best guest for that analysis!
Yeah you're right maybe im being biased cause this was my first year watching wsop but kenny tran, Scotty Nguyen, Havad khan , jerry yang , Phillip hilm anyone that ran deep or final tabled to get some insight on how it went down.
If you could get Kenny Tran that would be incredible. He was on poker after dark cash game also. You could talk about both! And he was a very very good cash game player back then not sure what hes doing now.
@@jamienguyen476 no Hilm👎that would be like pulling wings off a fly.
The 2007 Final Table should be shared.
Norman Chad and Lon McEachern are the best.
Norman Chad; "From penthouse to outhouse in two hands"
Lon McEachern; " Jerry Yang is the 2007 World Champion. And theirs one unhappy muti-millionaire"
Classic.
"that's a top 250 call in poker history" this dude is savage without being disrespectful.
10:29 Me when they give me free dessert with my meal!!!
Ironically when lam held the Canadian flag he did it upside down. A sign of distress lol
'I liked Dukakis in 88'🤣🤣🤣
Norman Chaad is the best
that was an insane call that tran made!!!! 4 hearts and a pair on the board, he calls $750,000.00........only in a tourney will you see a play like that.................all 5 hands in this video were outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's not $750,000 it's 750,000 chips moron... Big difference..lol but still a great call
It's not dollars lol, but yeah a great call
Yang loves his River 6s
Rumour has it Hilm is still staring at people today
Sick call Kenny Tran 2021
Any chance of putting the whole tournament up here? I have the ESPN 2003 WSOP tournament on DVD....but thats all I can find online for sale
Someone had uploaded the entire espn broadcast of the 2007 main event a year ago. Probably got deleted. :(
PokerGo's site has a bunch of full WSOP on their site for $10 a month. (2004 all the way to 2019 I think, may be some missing in between). I subbed for a month and cancelled.
@@sampost533 Thanks Sam....I'll look at it
“Frig off Kahn.”
opponent in 1st hand was all class
Kenny Tran was kept doing that hero calls, eventually no win at tourney after this events. Playing cash game only at commerce casino.
How can you not love scotty win? 😁😊
Jerry Yang is so easy to root for, lol.
Trans call one of the best calls I’ve ever seen.
ONE MIRRION
Hilm= greatest pizz off of chips in final table history.....
Greatest 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🐾🐾🐾🐕🐾🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐾🐕🙄🤔😘😘😘🤔😘🤔🤔😱😱😱🤧🤧🤧🤧😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱🥴😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Awesome baby
Scotty is best
Nice call by Rahme.
what was number 1 prize money?
I would honestly pay money to know exactly what went through Trans head throughout that entire hand and how he made that call. I mean I understand he had Top-Top so it's not like he had air, but you got basically an amateur betting hard on every street with 4 hearts on the board. I mean at the very least that's gotta be hard to not at the very least put him on an over pair. Crazy call. Also on a side note, sick call by Rahme as well haha.
Read the comment section, in an interview he said that the other dude never looked down to check his hand - indicating that he didnt have a red card
The stones to call on that pair of 8s… damn
Bit easier when he'd still have a 3 to 2 chip lead even with losing
Rammy Poukai pure class
I forgot about that Phillip Hilm hand..Bad play at the Final Table for him..
Surely Hevad Khan must look back now and feel the cringe just slightly? Surely?!?!!!
No, he has fallen into delusion
Tran one of the best fish
hilm way overplayed the spotlight
back when the action moved!
Man you gotta feel for Tuan Lam. What a bad beat on the last hand.
Kenny Tran and Scotty Nguyen should have both made this final table 👍
Scotty Nguyen, he blew it at the end. He stacked off with top pair against Hilm's set. Had he not make that mistake, he would've had the best chance of winning the main event. Scotty let Hilm get to Scotty's head. Hilm on the other hand, after knocking Nguyen out, Hilm thought he was unbeatable that despite coming into the final table with humongous chip lead, he got knocked out 9th place. LOL
I don't always like the overly animated people, but something about Hevad Khan was appealing. Seems like a nice guy
How the hell he call that
10:33 dunno how Hilm managed to still find it in him to smile at that moment
I'd be smiling if I'd won hundreds of thousands of $
@@XaviRonaldo0 yeah i hear that but about 3 hands before that he was the big time chip leader and best player at the table so he was due for a much bigger win
@@OKG2000 I'm normally a negative person but I'd still look on the bright side
I can tell the WSOP made the chip stacks ridiculous sizes to make it look more appealing on TV. I’m sure the players hated it.
wau what a call with the 88, it's actually decent call...PFR usually over cbets Ax, and doesn't go for 2 street value with Qx, so he is saying he has a 7x, and 88 with the suits the guy has blocks all 87s, A7s is blocked by the board, same with 97s, which leaves reasonable open range with 76s...
Exactly
Nice analysis... this is a call that was made based on the cards. Kenny Tran made his amazing call based purely on instinct.
scotty baby
Good call if it's right, bad call if it's wrong; is what they all think. But imo that a8 call is the latter lol
The Khan hand is nowhere near a top 5 hand. Just because he overplayed QQ vs AA preflop and flopped quads doesn't make it top 5.
thatfunk1 yeah for real. It's not a great poker hand, just a great tv moment.
I luved kenny tran's call when he gets knocked the fk out, the guy rubbed it in sounding like a truck horn!
That’s why they call him Kenny “Sick Call” Tran
World Class CALL 🐕💰💰💰💰💰☕☕
Is Yang from China or Japan?
Everybody gangsta until Qs show up.
WTF DONK DANCE??????? 10:28 LOL
haha during Heads Up the Final Hand and Tuan Lam says "this is for Canada" then some chad bros start yelling USA USA USA! lol
