@@michael2305 The WPT, in case you did not know, was sold to Element Partners an investment fund. The 2 bidders were Element Partners and Ballys. The new format is absolutely pathetic.. I just watched today on the WPT stream. The played a $200/400 holdem format with 6 players in what looks like someone's home and a private dealer. Koon, Dwan, and Dan Smith were 3 of the six players but it didn't seem to matter. I'd have spent my time better watching paint dry.. High Stakes Poker or Poker After Dark - it is not. Boring players and a boring commentary crew. Haven't watched the WPT much since Mike Sexton passed.. It was Mike and Vince. I give it 2 years and it'll be worth half or 1/4 of what Element paid for it. The commentators are lousy, the production is cheaper, etc. Poker today, hardly anyone talks.

So on day 3,I was sitting next to Jamie. He was sitting in seat 7. That whole side of the table was his chip glacier stack, & many times, he was so busy stacking his chips, when it was his turn to act, it was so much easier to put the chips in blind to call. So this happens in a hand, shortly before the bubble, flop comes 535,seat 3 goes all in, seat 5 all in. Jamie, still trying to stack his chips from previous hand, reaches around his stack to look at his hand, he kinda chuckled & goes"well I gotta call, I flopped the joint" as he flips over a 3 & a 5...Ty Jamie for folding to me a few times, cashed in 650th place. Also, I told you, you were gonna win it all
Jamie’s run was “must watch TV”. He’s annoying, funny, smart and stupid all rolled into a dude who ran sooo pure when it mattered and used his stack and mouth extremely well
This has to be the sickest run in WSOP ME history. Even more than Moneymakers. It's unreal. He eliminated the entire final table single handedly plus way more outside of the final table. Insanneeee run of cards
not just cards. If you are winning that % of time. You are both expertly coached, and can talk his way out of anything as well. He was coached by Johnny Chan too they said. But yeah, he was just on another level
@@CrazeeAdam im just talking about the cards and the cards only. I've never seen somebody for 7 days run so incredibly hot and consistent. You could be coached by Chan Ivey and Dwan if you're flopping the world, winning flips or card dead it won't mean much. The amount of sheer luck this man was given that whole week was absurd
@@seankiesling2054 yeah he was running hot for sure. But he also won as many bluffs as well. And they showed that here. At the Final Table is when he really started catching just tons of hands though. So it's super memorable.
@@CrazeeAdam yes, he did do a lot of bluffing. And a lot of the bluffs worked because he was running so hot people figured he had it lol it was just a sick combo of things and an epic run. Turned out to be a sleeze ball of a human being...but great memorable run for sure
If by dominant you mean he had the absolute nuts when it mattered, then sure. But let’s be clear, he is a terrible poker player, he went on to lose every penny he one in private games. He was so bad they literally built games around him.
The thing that made Gold so hard for other players was that he was brutally honest. but nobody believed him. They thought he was lying when he had it, and they thought he was lying when he didn't. if people would have just listened to him, he would have been out in the first round. it was a master class in reverse psychology.
He changed it up, there were periods when he lied. He showed a lot of hands that helped him get calls when he needed them, too. He played better than people give him credit for because he had some occasional bad plays that people hyperfocus on.
The clip at 00:15:26 is easily the most dramatic, hyped, intense and well-done poker intro EVER....If Lon McEachern's voice doesn't get u hyped for the WSOP....then nothing will..♧◇♡♤
I played with Jamie's mother at the AC Hilton 2-3 years after this happened. Very sweet lady. We talked about her son, she felt he got a bad rep. I told her no matter what anyone says he had an amazing run at the biggest poker tournament ever. Which is all that really matters.
@@DL-rz6tw lol does that really sound like a farfetched story? The woman said she was there all the time. I'd bet dozens of nobodies just like me have the same story. But ok, don't believe me -shrugs -
@@jarred1249 He was a bad sport during the final hand but he said before the '23 main event which broke his 1st place record that his playing style has changed since then
@@DT-ml3hf this went down 15 years ago and I immediately stopped and watched it. When I think speech play I think Jamie gold. haven’t really seen anything like it since, nor do I think we will see it again. I appreciate that something like this will happen once, and only once
He was the villain poker needed. Changed the game forever. And while he didn't play fantastic, it was quite funny seeing interviews of players saying he's "just lucky" and then proceeding to straight punting all their chips in his direction.
In Final Hand when Gold checked his cards again after some speech he made i think it was deciding tell for Wasicka that he is on a draw . He wasnt top from technical side of game but his speech plays and reverse tells were quite impressive . He confused so many people to make bad decisions. It was brilliant
The guy never lost one hand seems like.. absolutely unbelievable run he had in this tournament. Hit on every flop...and when he didn't, he bluffed the people out
Where has the last 15yrs of my life gone!! I remember distinctively that after watching this main event i was going to take up poker full time and head to vegas.
When you run so hot that no one can believe it, it's hard to say. The truth sounds like lies and the lies sound like truths. It's practically old testemant biblical stuff here.
Note he was coached by one of the greatest players of all time. That alone gave him an edge. Johnny probably told him how much to talk and to use it to his advantage too.
I think his main concern was someone had the higher flush draw since Jamie was already all in and the other buy was most likely calling after his raise. Someone having 2 bigger spades there his % would be much much lower
Apparently Wasicka said he never actually said call (and I even noticed that in the original clip too) but Gold had already turned his hand over. But Wasicka said under the circumtances he was gonna call, and understood the situation so just went with it - I actually respect him a lot for that tbh
If he would have said “alright you talked me into it” and stood up like he was going to call before saying “wait I didn’t really call” and then folded, it would be the sickest angle shoot in WSOP history and his reputation would never recover. He would always be known for that.
@@DoctorChained he did!? I wonder for hm 🧐 and I did see him not too long ago play at the live at the bike livestream 5/10 I think dayumm money comes and goes frfrfr
This man got lucky to build a huge stack and then ran like the sun. But he definitely played bully with his big stack correctly. If Gold entered the main event 5,000 more times I don't think he wins again.
Exactly, he had the big balls to bluff & outplay opponents in tough spots. He was barely learning poker & balanced his value hands with bluffs. Others are just salty because they don’t have the balls to do it. Always enjoyed the guy’s play.
@@Milkywayboy He never wanted to pursue a career in poker. He was a TV producer who accidentally won main event. If he dint run good , he would have been forgotten like the rest of 10,000 losers that year .
Wild to see Allen Cunningham's deep run, it feels like people almost forgot he was on his way to winning this thing. He even got it in good against Jamie but of course he got sucked out on.
9:36 The smug condescension is above any sort of normal amount at a Poker game. "Oh, you said top-top...I wouldn't have called you. I said top-top. I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry" lol what a prick.
The best times in poker! When I actually knew every single players name and watched all the greats!! Jamie not a great just ran incredibly lucky and ended up with a dominating chip stack to bully and just splash around! Definitely great to watch again tho!!! Absolutely stunning
This tournament, the Jamie Gold (executioner) WSOP run is my fav of all time! His energy is insurmountable. His ability to devour players is legendary. He was basically Godzilla every hand.
Ran hotter than anyone has ever ran in a tournament. Definitely went to his head and he burned through all that money in 2yrs playing in cash games he had no business playing in.
A lot of the comments are talking about how bad Jamie is and that he is broke now. But if you won the main event, you would feel invincible also AND probably consider poker as a career too lol
i loved jamie gold he is the most interesting poker playing he plays those mind games all the time always talk its extremely hard to predict him you can never know if he bluffs or not
I mean the dude had Johnny Chan as his coach, you know he does something right This was also one of the most entertaining main events period. The stories, the hands, the ending.
GF: Honey, where is the remote? Gold: I'll show you GF: Honey, where is my super suit? Gold: I'll show you GF: Honey, where are my keys? Gold: I'll show you. GF: Come here baby _slips into bed_ let me see what you're working with Gold: I'll show you... Ha! Nothing. Bluffing the whole time.
He had the guts to bluff & go for it in tough spots which most pros can’t . Guy was barely learning poker & had bigger balls than most pros in bluffing. Forget the run good & insane luck , Gold still outplayed all his opponents & won it. U guys are salty about anyone winning anything. So pathetic
Yes, he got really lucky and in a lot of situations when others picked up good hands he'd have a better one... but thats where his speech play came in: he was able to make players with worse hands commit their chips when he was ahead or fold when he was behind.
Alot of people mad about his table talk, like he was breaking the rules... back then they didnt have so many rules about what you can or cant say. You were allowed to show cards and say what you want. When he was "explaining himself" to people and tellin them what he had, its a pure mindgame hes playing start to finish, and it worked! Saying out loud what you have is risky, but people can lie, maybe. Its a double edged sword and a risk people can take on the psychological side of the game.
Jamie did not realise how lucky he actually was. Why not sit down with Doyle, Patrick and Sammy and play a little High Stakes Cash. What could possibly go wrong?
The WSOP literally had to change the rule because of him, so now no one is allowed to talk about their hands during the game. Jamie Gold exploited this method to extinction.
I like how Jamie creates a virtual scenario on the side that makes him the good guy, while he's actually not. What would you call that: karma cheating? :D
Imagine making the top 3 of the main event, folding a straight flush draw against the maniac out of fear of coming 3rd, then calling off with 2nd pair no draw for everything...
Meh that was a pretty large payday and would make a difference in his life 2nd over 3rd, he clearly decided to go for 2nd, achieved it and then was done.
@@jdf9456 Baby that threw away the chance of a lifetime that he has no chance of ever replicating. You shouldn't even enter the main event if you don't want to win. He might be one of the best ever examples of why you shouldn't play scared
@@jakecooper5855 winning 6 million is throwing away chance at a lifetime? lol i'm sure you're the bully at your local 1/2 game chasing draws but playing for millions is a different story.
Golds superb play here will live forever, he should have quit after this, it's the most powerhouse poker performance I've ever seen the way he dominated from start to finish was immense.
This is so much more fun to watch than nowadays. This years coverage was absolutely awful, tanking like you wouldn’t believe with hardly any characters.
was deathly sick as a senior and in bed for a month in 2007...lost 35ish lbs and couldnt do much of anything...its then from the bed i discovered poker watching this main event run...i was enthralled with the idea of not having to hold the best cards to win...its what opened the game up to me.
Wasicka's fold at 28:40 was a HUGE mistake and one of the worst laydowns I've ever seen. No one should ever have to lay down an open-ended straight flush draw, which he would've won and tripled his stack.
Hindsight is 20/20. It was a difference of $2 million dollars if Binger gets knocked out. You know he can't see those percentages while he's playing, right?
@@damsbaug33 What percentage? Anytime you get an open-ended straight flush or royal flush draw on the flop, you are immediately on a higher percent to win, even against a strong set. Yeah, the payout was a difference of 2-million dollars so maybe he was just settling for that. Can't blame him.
@@dantaboo I was joking that he can't see the percentages on the screen. Nevermind. But I really think you're wrong on being the favorite. I ran the numbers on several sites, and they all come up 58/42 in favor of the set over the open ended straight flush draw.
Back then no one ever did that or would of thought too lol that’s why the following year they put in new rules so Jamie couldn’t do it again amongst other things.
I hope people realize that he was heavily staked in this tourney. He then proceeded to lose ALL of his winnings in high stakes cash games..................My favorite part - Johnny, I won this hand, now what do I do? Chan - you got 40% of the chips....keep chopping....
@@Jokerlevin Well that’s not the complete truth because the guy was going to sue Jamie and they put Jamie in the same room as the guy that staked him who was supposed to get 50% of whatever Jamie made and once Gold saw the guy along with his lawyers and the tournament director there was nothing else he could do but give him the other 50%. I wonder how much money he gave Johnny Chan for the advice(?)
Wasicka folding always blows my mind...open ended straight draw, flush draw and as far as he knows an open ended straight flush draw....yeah, im shoving everytime with those outs and hand potential
Tv poker used to be amazing. Me and my dad would watch all the events and when the main FT was live with no hole cards we watched the entire thing. 2003-2008 were probably the best times for poker on tv. Jamie Gold is a bit of a douche but this stuff was still fun to watch lol the mains with moneymaker, raymer, hachem. And high stakes poker and poker after dark back then
when poker was simply INCREDIBLE to watch.
@Bryce Sattler totally agree, the government could make so much damb money off the taxes of a multi billion dollar a year industry.. never understood the negativity that the government has towards a game of skill

Just finished watching the main event and WISH poker was still like this to watch
truly a heroic mission
brute represent
brute de poker
18:33 tells you in plain sight how he ran so good
Probably the most pure run in the history of the main event
Jamie Gold & Joe Cada the greatest luckboxes of all time!!!
This is truly the most epic run in WSOP Main Event ever.
Next up how Jamie gold lost 12 million
Did he¿
😊🤣😂🤣😂🇬🇧🤝
This man had mind games that made him strong to play and a few lucky hands
9:00 JAMIE‘S LEGENDARY 🔝 🔝
A lot of the comments are talking about how bad Jamie is and that he is broke now. But if you won the main event, you would feel invincible also AND probably consider poker as a career too lol
This was fantastic. I remember coming home from class excited to watch each ep. Jamie was pure entertainment.
He ran so good and played the big stack like a king 10-9 call make a hand great run good player
Just out leveled his opponents, incredible… hard to believe you can sit with a guy for days and still fall for this traps. Hats off to him
His style only works only if he has more than the other person
He just had the better hand every time, this was pure luck
i loved jamie gold he is the most interesting poker playing he plays those mind games all the time always talk its extremely hard to predict him you can never know if he bluffs or not
Incredible run, insane, and jamie make the perfect show, make it à movie !!
And then he gave it all back to the poker community
😄😄😄😄😄
Half to the guy he made a deal with, the rest to the sharks
yep, his best bet would have been to quit poker for money entirely. He thought he was a great player. Turns out, he wasn't.
I mean the dude had Johnny Chan as his coach, you know he does something right
This was also one of the most entertaining main events period. The stories, the hands, the ending.
Exactly! He had one of the poker GOATs coaching him.
I have never folded an open ended straight flush draw in my life.
That was his chance to get an opportunity to win the tournament
I don’t think there has ever been a longer run of cards mainstream televised like this one.
GF: Honey, where is the remote?
Gold: I'll show you
GF: Honey, where is my super suit?
Gold: I'll show you
GF: Honey, where are my keys?
Gold: I'll show you.
GF: Come here baby _slips into bed_ let me see what you're working with
Gold: I'll show you...
Ha! Nothing. Bluffing the whole time.
Jamie Gold is simply himothy. Chosen winner before the tournament
Raises everything and gets lucky all the time, ladies and gentleman: jimmy, oh wait jamie..gold
He had the guts to bluff & go for it in tough spots which most pros can’t . Guy was barely learning poker & had bigger balls than most pros in bluffing. Forget the run good & insane luck , Gold still outplayed all his opponents & won it. U guys are salty about anyone winning anything. So pathetic
Yes, he got really lucky and in a lot of situations when others picked up good hands he'd have a better one... but thats where his speech play came in: he was able to make players with worse hands commit their chips when he was ahead or fold when he was behind.
@@shadowsmessage Exactly, Gold dominated this tournament, you'd have to be an idiot to think otherwise.
He didn't play well or anything, he just got lucky ALL the time, actually insane.
Alot of people mad about his table talk, like he was breaking the rules... back then they didnt have so many rules about what you can or cant say. You were allowed to show cards and say what you want. When he was "explaining himself" to people and tellin them what he had, its a pure mindgame hes playing start to finish, and it worked! Saying out loud what you have is risky, but people can lie, maybe. Its a double edged sword and a risk people can take on the psychological side of the game.
Omg I totally forgot about “Yes! I trapped him!” 🤣
I'll never get over Paul Wasicka, final three, folding a straight flush draw.
I wonder if he's gotten over it.
"Sssssick. Sssssick."
Just shows how lucky you gotta be to win these things. Dude was on a heater hand after hand
Wow what a poker player
Jamie did not realise how lucky he actually was. Why not sit down with Doyle, Patrick and Sammy and play a little High Stakes Cash. What could possibly go wrong?
Lol! They crucified him. It was painful to watch.
Jamie Gold = Angle Shooting in Perfection! Fun to wach!
he was a master in raising people nearly to their stack and everyone was affraid to call and kicked out of the tournament
I’m one of the few who enjoys his style esp on high stakes poker
Not only did he he hit all the flops. He almost NEVER was sucked out on. Unbelievable
During these years i fell in love with poker
He is one of the sleeziest players of all time.
The WSOP literally had to change the rule because of him, so now no one is allowed to talk about their hands during the game. Jamie Gold exploited this method to extinction.
I still watch it and can’t believe Wasicka folds the open-ended straight flush draw… massive moment.
Saved him a fortune in equity. Very disciplined fold
I like how Jamie creates a virtual scenario on the side that makes him the good guy, while he's actually not.
What would you call that: karma cheating? :D
he had karma so confused it didn't know what to do to him!
karma chameleon
Man, Jamie's chip stack was ridiculous. Haven't seen that big since.
Imagine making the top 3 of the main event, folding a straight flush draw against the maniac out of fear of coming 3rd, then calling off with 2nd pair no draw for everything...
Meh that was a pretty large payday and would make a difference in his life 2nd over 3rd, he clearly decided to go for 2nd, achieved it and then was done.
@@jdf9456 Oh I see what you're saying, he was a little scared baby
@@jakecooper5855 multi millionaire baby sure lol
@@jdf9456 Baby that threw away the chance of a lifetime that he has no chance of ever replicating. You shouldn't even enter the main event if you don't want to win. He might be one of the best ever examples of why you shouldn't play scared
@@jakecooper5855 winning 6 million is throwing away chance at a lifetime? lol i'm sure you're the bully at your local 1/2 game chasing draws but playing for millions is a different story.
This is so freaking entertaining.
Golds superb play here will live forever, he should have quit after this, it's the most powerhouse poker performance I've ever seen the way he dominated from start to finish was immense.
lol
🤣
13:00 sums up this run.... couldn't have been said better
This is so much more fun to watch than nowadays. This years coverage was absolutely awful, tanking like you wouldn’t believe with hardly any characters.
WSOPE was even worse
He tried to call out Jamie for acting out of position but there was no 3rd player in the pot as he folded before Jamie’s act😂
It would have been awesome if the guy said after 'you talk me into it' .. I FOLD 😂
was deathly sick as a senior and in bed for a month in 2007...lost 35ish lbs and couldnt do much of anything...its then from the bed i discovered poker watching this main event run...i was enthralled with the idea of not having to hold the best cards to win...its what opened the game up to me.
Wasicka's fold at 28:40 was a HUGE mistake and one of the worst laydowns I've ever seen. No one should ever have to lay down an open-ended straight flush draw, which he would've won and tripled his stack.
Hindsight is 20/20. It was a difference of $2 million dollars if Binger gets knocked out. You know he can't see those percentages while he's playing, right?
@@damsbaug33 What percentage? Anytime you get an open-ended straight flush or royal flush draw on the flop, you are immediately on a higher percent to win, even against a strong set. Yeah, the payout was a difference of 2-million dollars so maybe he was just settling for that. Can't blame him.
@@dantaboo I was joking that he can't see the percentages on the screen. Nevermind. But I really think you're wrong on being the favorite. I ran the numbers on several sites, and they all come up 58/42 in favor of the set over the open ended straight flush draw.
9:37 "I got top-top. Oh you said top-top? I wouldn't have called I said top-top! i'm sorry" lol
I’m with Norman, how did he get away with all the “trying to help” people?
Back then no one ever did that or would of thought too lol that’s why the following year they put in new rules so Jamie couldn’t do it again amongst other things.
I would have loved to experienced this run at the time. So sick.
2nd luckiest run in WSOP history behind Yang.
The greatest run EVER in poker
I hope people realize that he was heavily staked in this tourney. He then proceeded to lose ALL of his winnings in high stakes cash games..................My favorite part - Johnny, I won this hand, now what do I do? Chan - you got 40% of the chips....keep chopping....
And also didnt pay the people who staked him.
@@Jokerlevin contracts are like hearts, they're made to be broken
His run was as good, or even better than the one Dan Smith had at the SHR in Barcelona....every time anyone had a good hand, he had one better...damn.
@@Jokerlevin Well that’s not the complete truth because the guy was going to sue Jamie and they put Jamie in the same room as the guy that staked him who was supposed to get 50% of whatever Jamie made and once Gold saw the guy along with his lawyers and the tournament director there was nothing else he could do but give him the other 50%. I wonder how much money he gave Johnny Chan for the advice(?)
I don’t like the guy but he wasn’t ”heavily staked”. He just split the buy in with another guy.
Who would stake him?
Wasicka folding always blows my mind...open ended straight draw, flush draw and as far as he knows an open ended straight flush draw....yeah, im shoving everytime with those outs and hand potential
Did win 2 mil more just by folding
Tv poker used to be amazing. Me and my dad would watch all the events and when the main FT was live with no hole cards we watched the entire thing. 2003-2008 were probably the best times for poker on tv. Jamie Gold is a bit of a douche but this stuff was still fun to watch lol the mains with moneymaker, raymer, hachem. And high stakes poker and poker after dark back then
I've been searching for this just yesterday and now it's here. Can you read my mind skynet?
