The glory days of televised poker, when it was fun to watch. When the WPT didn't chop their coverage into three segments, but aired the whole thing on the Travel channel.
It was an amazing time to be alive and playing poker during the “Poker Boom”!!! Can’t tell you how many times we traveled to casinos just to play in packed out poker rooms and playing in WSOP satellite seats 😭
Was on this 'river boat' . . . anchored on the Mississippi River, in Mississippi ! Flew in from Baltimore, complements of Ceasars Entertainment. Gained this trip thru play at Showboat Casino, Atlantic City. Showboat has since retired. Half of A.C. is controlled by Ceasars (Harrahs, Bally's Ceasars) Ceasars - a large gaming empire - nation wide !
The last person I would want to see at a poker table would be Scotty Nguyen. I’ve faced way to many players like him at commerce and Hawaiian Gardens casino in Los Angeles. Those dudes are super unconventional and always have the nuts
I like TV poker when it was with these familiar poker players Scotty Nguyen and Michael Mizrahi, Gavin and announcers Mike Sexton and Vince. It feels cozy back then, but not the new cold field of nobodies these days.
Spoilers Yeah Raul Paez didnt really ever have a shot at winning this but he folded his way to AT LEAST an extra 120k by letting gavin smith go out before him. The object of the game is to make lots of money and he probably maximized his value at this final table.
Showing the NUTS when another player turned trips... Whatever Scotty bet, the Grinder is going All-In... Depending on the raise sizing, and that probably doesn't matter, Scotty is calling with a set of 4's.
@@MrSrinim That idiot woman on the mic screwed up that hand at 9:00, SHE said CALL, Michael heard that and thought it was a call not a raise... and flipped his hand over but it should have been ruled a RAISE.... it's why refs like that need access to video AND audio of what was actually done at the table to stop this crap from happening... and that woman should have been suspended from work, that's just a dumb mistake on her part.
@@johnfranklin4038 "it's why refs like that need access to video AND audio of what was actually done at the table to stop this crap from happening"..."that woman should have been suspended from work". Dude. Stick to talking about what you know. Those were some profoundly ignorant ideas you just shared.
Scotty Nguyen is one HELL of a good player. I played against him online years ago and it was a hoot. I won a couple of hands and he later smoked all of us lol. Great guy.
No angle. Linda Johnson incorrectly announced the action (even though both Scotty and the dealer got it right), which led to Mizrachi showing his hand out of turn. In many places, Scotty would have been forced to raise (obviously min.), but the Gold Strike at this time did have the "lesser action" bit written in their rules.
Being half vietnamese doesn't give you insight into another vietnamese person's personality. And you're wrong dude. He's a confident man and he's very outspoken about it but I've seen him act quite humble on a number of occasions. On top of that I follow a lot of the top players and read all the books and magazines and every time Scotty is talked about by his fellow poker pros it's with respect. Assholes like the one you described don't get that much respect no matter how good they are.
What a weird hand between Mizrachi and Scotty. The floor announcer and Mike Sexton thought Scotty was just calling while the dealer said raise. Even the Grinder thought he said call. Just total confusion all around.
The grinder screwed himself up by accidentally showing his hand. He should have taken all of Scottie's chips and won the tourney. Scottie dodged a major bullet.
RIP Mike Sexton 1947 - 2020 - The Ambassador of Poker - You will be missed. May your cards be live and your pots be monsters!
RIP sexton The Ambassador of Poker

🥃Cheers
Hi
RIP gavin smith also
Respect to the great Mike Sexton
@@FaithfulReasoning what happened to him? I did not know he passed away
Back when poker was worth watching. Back when we actually had entertaining players
Commentaries not the same without you mike❤......gotta love these old poker videos
9:04 the woman commentator said scotty CALLS , that's why he turned his cards.

LMAO. You guys are the BEST Commentators ever. Superstars👍 scotty thinking about his whole life after that debacle 🤣🤣🤣
Gotta love that split pot moment between Scotty and Gavin!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
P
Man look at all these legends, RIP Mike Sexton and Gavin Smith…. 😭 ❤️🩹
and although not dead but scotty is alledgedly broke now, very sad
I knew about Mike, but hadn’t heard about Gavin
I knew Scotty was broke
I think Scotty was broke before, but he is still playing playing poker & still cashing in tournaments so I don't think he is broke anymore
I'm more surprised sexton passed than Gavin Smith mike sexton was always so underrated great player
What a classic. Truly entertaining all round.
Thanks for uploading these. All the WPT up to 2011 was fantastic
how can i be a dealer.can they teach me.thank u. jefro 🐑🐐
I love that may your cards be live and your pots monsters
Monstersssss
I was surprised to see Scotty drinking at the table, but I was happy to see Scotty finally get the Win you gotta " Love it Baby ".
Lol I played with Scotty and I'd be surprised if he wasn't drinking!!!
It really is great how much fun they are having and with such great show of sportsmanship. Don’t see that too much anymore nowa days
Just finished watching all of it.
And yes, this was a CLASSIC.
*subscribed*
Ah. One can only dream. One day. Hope to run so good I score big. One day. Till then. Must get better and learn more
I Love Scotty Nguyen!! He is so entertaining to watch and he's got a great sense of humor!! "How Sweet That is Baby!!"
Till he starts drinking
"till he starts drinking"?
Are you suggesting that there exists a time when Scotty is *not* drinking? Cuz there isn't.
Me too, my Dad and I met him in Vegas once
Nguyen lost almost everything he owned, guy used to be such a monster on the WPT

The characters of poker’s heyday were on par with the WWF of the late 90s!
RIP Gavin Smith...one of poker's great guys!
Bau Le's last cash lol. He hasn't been heard from since 2006.
So happy for Scotty❣️
Best line of Scotty: "Comprende Espanol baby?" lol
Scotty is very friendly at the table and I like that because most of the Poker tables people are very serious looking
Nothing compares to Texas dolly "Doyle Brunson this month but again sexton was a G lol
I loved it, well played Scotty
I ray BaBie
Wish I could play back in this era

" you can't call dis baby....is too much for you"

Scotty Nguyen! Awesome Man👍🏻Awesome Mullet👍🏻
scotty announced raise, he must raise min.
Giving both a disadvantage would have been better in that situation. Min raise and a 10 minute is better

Scotty is my favorite poker player.
Gavin playing tight, Mike splashing and a funky tournament director call to boot.
Thanks for posting! I learned a lot!
Love 💕 Scotty Nguyen
Scotty’s laugh 😂 so good
Sounds like Ozzy in Little Nicky
I heard raise, so he needs to complete his action and double the bet to 340k
havent heard the ruling yet, that was an interesting hand,
It should be minimum raise, it was strange that director ruled in favor of Scotty as he is a great player, it's not fair decision

Who's watching in 2023
2024😅
Was that the floor lady repeating Michael Miz when he said "say somethin' baby"???? 😂 omg!
Scotty and Bau representing the full range of asian-man-energy.
40:05 . "Chipped away like a Michael Jackson nose" . . Hahahahaha
I like play Poker...
14:00 “he’s going for the Bruce lee look” lmao that’s how he looks dude
Damn Scotty Nyugen dripping soul glow activator juice all over the felt!
9:07 It’s hilarious how mizrachi tabled his hand accidentally then when he realizes he did, tries to cover it up as if no one saw😂🤣😂🤣
what part in the video? Which time
Lethal Bluff 9:07
lol yeah i saw that too, couldnt help but laugh.
Sssssmeeerrr
With these guys and tournaments I see alot of string beating.
He said "i raise" so the minnimum must be giving a double chips..
That's right he said I raise so he took the action so it should be at least a min raise.

@@Thel0ls1 I agree. Double the big blind for a min raise. It should not have been only a call. Verbal declarations are binding.
@@kamikahearne I disagree! >:(
Scotty is greatest player of our time !!!
Amazing that no player around the table heard that...
Scotty Nguyen is one HELL of a good player. I played against him online years ago and it was a hoot. I won a couple of hands and he later smoked all of us lol. Great guy.
neutral. .. I miss uuu papahq Davis hunan
mizrachi heard the table announcer say "scotty calls" so he turned his hand over.
yep. she really fucked up there
yup. Bad things going on
ㅓㅓㅓㅓㅓㅓㅓㅓㅓㅓㅓㅓㅓㅓㅑㅑ ㅑ
Announcer lady Betsy messed up a lil earlier also when Gavin announced a bet of 120k and she responded "100k"
Bob Roberts
You sound like a piece of shit, stay away from me!
The Grinder is such a straight up gambler. He called Gavin's All-In twice with ridiculous hands.
Fold the ducks!
37:00 cool name: AN ALL IN.
How sweet that is baby!! My man..
📲
These announcers are hilarious.
Yeah! That's why the WPT is so much more fun than the EPT.
you mean the commentators
Yeah too bad they aren't commentating anymore
Gavin should have got 3rd instead of the amateur
Limp call pocket kings lol
Scotty have twips, baby.
schwarzblatt 😂
lol 😂must have mentored juanda
Epic poker players here doing epic plays results wow
9:01
first of all - Scotty SPEAK UP MAN!
second thing: the jackass dealer fucked that up... she announced call so Grinder flipped his cards...
Yeah it should have been a mandatory min raise. Scotty got a nice break there.
Horrible ruling by the TD.
When the wpt was exciting and fun 2 watch.
Angle shoot by scotty at 10:14. No way he meant to do all that on accident. Lol... Even Mike Sexton (RIP) knows that verbal bets are binding...
The lady announcer said scotty makes the call in the background lol
Yes, the announcer confused Grinder.
No angle.

i miss gavin. great dude. so many lols.
😊😊Gavin Smith isn’t dead is he?
Dude with black hat folded hella hands
Look, you may all make fun of Mike and Vince in the booth. Yeah. That's it, just go ahead guys.
I love Scotty!!😀😀
Scotty is slick as a fish!

Being a Vietnamese American, in poker world, I’m so proud to have “anh” Scotty represent one of us in such esteem, fun and coolness. Luv it, baby!
Scotty is cool. Can I have a lucky chip Scotty?
Hi I love your video very good game to play
What a memory Gavin Smith bassed away very early age.
8:17 way to look cool as a cucumber for the next 4 seconds, Grinder. Jesus.
cool as a falafel sandwich, maybe - and his name is מִזְרָחִים so I don't think the Holy One is in this game
It was the announcer, not the dealer. The dealer corrected her.
R.I.P. Mike Sexton! R.I.P. Gavin Smith
scotty nguyen, playing any hand is ok. 2.7
I really admire your gameplay
"Gavin Smith has been chipped away like a Michael Jackson nose..." LOL Damn
mizrachi shower his 65 becausew the floor director said "scotty calls". hmm women
JerJerBynx and the lied about it,
Ace of Clubs! Ace of Clubs! Ace of Clubs!
R.I.P Mike Sexton 🙏🏼
The Prince of Poker versus The Grinder. You can't get a much better heads-up match than that.
I have no respect for the grinder.
best poker video ever
What a weird hand between Mizrachi and Scotty. The floor announcer and Mike Sexton thought Scotty was just calling while the dealer said raise. Even the Grinder thought he said call. Just total confusion all around.
