Always feels great making a nice run when you are basically out with one blind. Congrats! I'm no professional and you probably know better then me but i probably would not have called with the K4 suited. As you said, people are mostly tighter there. Good thing it worked out in your favor!
The only real misstep was the AQ, also the 33 you busted on you coulda waited for a better spot for your tournament life but not being critical & you played quite well.
The greatest comeback in WSOP history belongs to Jack ‘Treetops’ Straus. On day 2 of the 1982 Main Event Straus shoved his entire stack, was called, and lost. But it wasn’t actually his entire stack. Unknown to Straus, he still had a $500 chip on the table which had been covered by a napkin. Since he had not announced ‘all-in’ when shoving his stack, he was able to continue playing. Straus took that 1 chip and went on to win the 1982 Main Event an coined the expression a chip and a chair.
Yep. He never said all in. Therefor his holdback chip they found under the ring pad, was never in play. He bet. Opponent called. Nobody ever said all in or call. So the chip was never committed technically. He rallied back from 1 chip. There was the line born of “a chip and a chair”
This was so refreshing: the explanation of hands, the show of the weaker plays and the thought put into every move. Not sure what your name is but well played, mate. I`ll follow you from now on, this content is pure gold.
I've been watching a lot of WSOP vlogs, and these are easily the best on youtube. The editing and camera work and graphics are a class above anything else.
@@randomname22223 he wasn’t wrong, I did just lost a 1.8 million chip pot literally the hand before that, but I was not steaming, that was a huge misrepresentation of the situation to better justify his play to himself and his audience.
I lost an all in and got up to leave, the dealer called me back because I had one single 500 chip remaining at the 1k 2k blind level... 45 minutes later I had 150k in the colossus
Reading the comments it’s clear most people enjoy your content. They like the explanations etc. my two cents worth? I like the speed of your vid. Keeps things moving without taking an eternity for each pot, and still includes enough explanation of your thinking and strategy. Bravo.
I love this because it reminds me of my 1st ever win in a low stakes tournament. I was doing well then lost a bad beat that left me with 1 BB. I was moved to another table at that time and these players were the big stacks. I slapped my 2 chips down as I sat and said "you guys are in trouble now." They chuckled a bit but I then proceeded to win the next 14 hands I played and the tournament.
Jack "Treetop" Strauss in the 1982 Main Event had The GREATEST Comeback in WSOP History. He shoved all his chips into the middle but did not call "All In". Upon losing the hand he stood up and collected his stuff and found a single T$500 chip in his drinks napkin. He sits back down and eventually wins the tournament. It wasn't as big entry-wise as this run, but there were not many 'nits' playing in 1982. I did something similar to win my first tournament at Cabazon near Palm Springs. It was a daily $130 buy-in. I was down to one T$500 chip when the BB was T$500 and we combined the final two tables to make the final nine. We redrew position and I am in the BB. A win in that hand with four other people gave me the start of building my stack. An hour or so later I won the tourney.
I agree that you have the best quality vlog it is like a movie. By having a camera crew at different angles makes you stand out from other vloggers, Everyone will have to step up their games. Ithe last hand with 33 I don't like going all in because it is just a flip but so dangerous. The amount the other player bet he is never folding your all in of course, but if those pocket 3s hold you would have looked like a genius and that how it is in poker. Keep up the high energy videos.
B vs B u gotta shove the threes! One more flippy and you’re goin deep deep. I’ve watched every video you’ve posted in the last two years and it’s definitely improved my play. Thanks Kevin!
No u dont gotta do anything. U have to interpret from history and player type what such raise sizing might mean and if it means usually better pair which he isnt going to fold it is just a fold of 33
150 remaining in a 9k player field and 7BB already being in the middle before the 17bb shove. Implies the SB has no folds there basically thats why I wouldnt have shoved the 33 as youre almost always getting called.
Good job man! We have a common desire. Only I'm stuck in Sweden, where the biggest tournament is around 100,000 dollars and once a year, and you are in the place where the city of my dreams is, and every week you have a chance to test your luck.
This is a first video from you I watched after long time and its great! Btw BVB pocket threes I think we can rejam with 14bbs vs up to 3x raise but 4.2x is kind of commiting and I dont think we goona fold out many hands so I would lean towards folding, still great result and I wish you the best for next tournies!!
Yeah I mean I don't really play that much but that just seems like a big mistake in that position... He could have been in the tournament much longer with the stack he had, no need to shove it with 3s...
i cashed 3rd in what mustve been the biggest field of a sunday million to date at the time, an anniversary sunday million with about 18000 entrants at the end of '08 iirc, after being down to 1 bb halfway through the tourney. it can be done lol
Is there anything you haven’t done??? lol Won big brother, you were on Amazing race Canada (met you and Gurleen briefly when you were in Montreal, I work at the hotel you stayed at before taking the train to Cornwall) And you also make decent poker vlogs! Keep it up!
I think it was a great run and you did great with it, congrats. One thing I wanted to add, as far as last hand. At this stage of the tournament, 4 X the raise preflop means JJs or something like AK, since the guy wanted everyone to fold. If he was bluffing or playing something weaker, he would raise 2 - 2.5X. Maybe he wanted to ladder up, etc. My point is you went all in thinking he would fold, however if he does not - you are either way behind or at best it's a coin flip. You are never ahead, so to me - 33s is a fold at this stage of the tourney. Congrats again - great come back.
Just came across your channel, and I'm not sure why it's taken so long. Your vids are spectacular! Much more fun than the boring, monotone of some of the other channels. Awesome run though.
My friend just did this in the colossus. He thought he was out and had 1 small blind (100k) and turned it from a min cash to 33rd place ($17580). At one point he had almost 20 million chips. The room was buzzing about it on day 3
best quality vlog ive ever seen for poker. The 33 was weird though, hindsight great great great call. I would have folded every day since that bet is committing only b/c i think im dominated by every hand and best case is im 50/50
That 4:56 hand you bamboozled him into making that play with the weird non all in size on the turn hahah I think he thought he had a read that you were Uber weak to not just shove turn
You played well Kevin. It does take some run good to come back from the dead like that, but it also takes patience and good decisions. Seems like you did both.
Commend your comeback. Very legit ... Would have folded the 3s for a better position .Likely the blind v blind is high cards with lots more in the deck if its folded around. Plus good player, plus big bet... Let it go and orbit. Love the video content. Hope you're having fun. Bring back some gold!
Agreed. Players overlook the obvious -- a full table fold means a lot of crap cards were dealt. That should have been one more deciding factor towards folding, and villain won't fold back to you at that point.
What a punt by that vlogger! He's usually more solid. Tough decision in the BB w 33. I've been in that spot. Did the same play. Same result. What can you do? Nice run. Keep grinding.
Like on one hand, I understand why, but I’m also thinking of myself that you know you have an increased chance of flipping, might’ve been better to get to the flop. I don’t think against quality opponents you’re going to get away with that and yes, I understand you wanted a flip, but at the same time I want much better odds, which is why I like to call with small pairs and then adjust with Read from the flop
Final hand: to me the x4.2 raise vs your stack is screaming “you have no fold equity!” With no possibility of fold, the 3s are at best a flip. Is this the spot you want to take with your 13BB stack?
Rate my play in the comments. This is without a doubt one of the craziest runs of my entire career... Hope you guys are enjoying the videos so far!
Always feels great making a nice run when you are basically out with one blind. Congrats! I'm no professional and you probably know better then me but i probably would not have called with the K4 suited. As you said, people are mostly tighter there. Good thing it worked out in your favor!
Ur not a fish like you said in the vid, you are actually catching fish considering the hat on your head🤠
The only real misstep was the AQ, also the 33 you busted on you coulda waited for a better spot for your tournament life but not being critical & you played quite well.
I think 66 is a fold there buddy
Loving these WSOP videos ✌️
Shoulda just folded the 3’s. Great play other wise.

@@Thelastgenuinearticle yup lol
Llama with a punt of the year candidate
Great quality editing and voice over 👏👏👏
What did you expect from him😂
Rip anyone who purchased his stake
Wsop history
that was chipdumping lol
Can someone explain why the threes so deep and in the money?
This was so refreshing: the explanation of hands, the show of the weaker plays and the thought put into every move. Not sure what your name is but well played, mate. I`ll follow you from now on, this content is pure gold.
Gus Hasen did this about 8 years ago. He went from a chip and a chair to taking the final table. Outstanding.
And the phrase comes from Jack “Treetop” Strauss winning the WSOP main event.
@@mrbejam Which makes anything less than 1 chip to ME winner NOT the greatest WSOP comback in history... aka clickbait title!
I don't care how bad you are, "a donk cosplaying as a fish" is top tier.

Love to hear the feedback !
Yo the entertainment value in these videos is insane it's legit like watching a movie.

Don't ever stop trying. Your mentality and the way your explain these hands going through this event was 🔥🔥🔥. Stay safe and good luck brother!
That is a Greg Merson 2012 level of come up. As far as the play. Solid, which gives you a massive edge in this field
Came here to say the same. 50k in chips on day 5 and grinds it all back to finish in 1st. $10 million for his trouble 😂
I think Greg Merson is the greatest comeback. 2 and a half big blinds to win the Main when considering field and top prize monetary value.
I love your play. Bravery and brains most of the time LOL. Your personality is what makes you a favorite!
Loved the edits and video! Was fun to watch!
Favorite poker content creator right now.
Best documented tournament journey I’ve seen on TH-cam, change my mind.
Clickbait, best comeback in wsop history and didnt even win lol
This sunrun deserves a sub. Excellent play and great work staying with it.

young and bald, instant fold
Sometimes got to play like Phil Hellmuth
150 remaining in a 9k player field and 7BB already being in the middle before the 17bb shove. Implies the SB has no folds there basically thats why I wouldnt have shoved the 33 as youre almost always getting called.
easy fold with 3's there
It takes a while to drop, but your quality is unmatched. Gl this summer Kevin 🙏
One of the best quality poker channels I've ever seen
Insanely high quality video production. The best on the market.
The bell sound when he wins a hand...what's that from? It's driving me crazy I can't figure it out.
was this MTT hr levels if so I think the 33 is a fine fold vs his 4x open
Good job man! We have a common desire. Only I'm stuck in Sweden, where the biggest tournament is around 100,000 dollars and once a year, and you are in the place where the city of my dreams is, and every week you have a chance to test your luck.
First video I've seen of yours. Great content and editing man!
probably the best poker 'vlog' i've seen. top notch.

Kevin, are you playing in any of the upcoming events in Edmonton this month?
Pocket 16:58 3’s shove?
Yes noob donk play
Yeah I mean I don't really play that much but that just seems like a big mistake in that position... He could have been in the tournament much longer with the stack he had, no need to shove it with 3s...
Just watched for the first time. Great video, good story, and great content. Congrats kid.
i cashed 3rd in what mustve been the biggest field of a sunday million to date at the time, an anniversary sunday million with about 18000 entrants at the end of '08 iirc, after being down to 1 bb halfway through the tourney. it can be done lol
Aye, you played real well, brother! 👏🏽
Yep was watching it live was rooting for yah
Loved seeing you on the amazing race this week lmao 😂 somehow i had no clue
8:37 said the wrong suit lol thought I’d give you some sh*t for it! You’re a great player tho definitely subscribing!!!
First time watching a video of yours...excellent content!
Cavalito is a monster here in Brasil, pro player, really good.
GG Kmart! Congrats for the epic comeback!
Is there anything you haven’t done??? lol
Won big brother, you were on Amazing race Canada (met you and Gurleen briefly when you were in Montreal, I work at the hotel you stayed at before taking the train to Cornwall)

Hey, you're the guy on Dnegs videos! Glad I found your channel Kmart ")
amazing storyteller and filmmaker! great job kev
Great,unique content! Subscribed!😂
how much is the buy in?
Such a great video 🎉
Well done 👍🏻
Just came across your channel, and I'm not sure why it's taken so long. Your vids are spectacular!
Much more fun than the boring, monotone of some of the other channels. Awesome run though.

best quality vlog ive ever seen for poker. The 33 was weird though, hindsight great great great call. I would have folded every day since that bet is committing only b/c i think im dominated by every hand and best case is im 50/50
how did you survive the 88 vs TK ?
That 4:56 hand you bamboozled him into making that play with the weird non all in size on the turn hahah I think he thought he had a read that you were Uber weak to not just shove turn
Another awesome and massively engaging vlog. Thank you.
You played well Kevin. It does take some run good to come back from the dead like that, but it also takes patience and good decisions. Seems like you did both.
love the vids dude, absolutely eating up this new style and high quality
There is no feeling like going on a heater from one big blind. Good on ya!
14:36 was that a Sir Mix-A-Lot reference? You magnificent *bastard.*
Commend your comeback. Very legit ... Would have folded the 3s for a better position .Likely the blind v blind is high cards with lots more in the deck if its folded around. Plus good player, plus big bet... Let it go and orbit.

Tough to keep focus for so long. Good job!!🎉
who filmed that stuff?
Just shows you should never give up.... I went all the way down to 80 chips in a MTT online once (at 200/400), and came back and finished 3rd
Shoving 33 deep ITM in a live tournament and getting snapped is nightmare fuel
Hahaha, totally NM fuel
Huge Win great strategy. It is good to do it for big profit. I will watch your next videos.
Desire a Jaime staples collab. I can't die in peace without.
Great work grinding the short stack. Enjoy your content.
Yeah i think the 66 and last 33 were too bads to play but a big gg for your perf !!! Amazing remontada 🤩
Nice one bro! Keep grinding and it will come! 💪💪
You shouldn't call but you did good and I'm proud of you. New subscriber ❤🎉
tht sizing on last hand was so weird though the rest you played awesome keep it up
why is the dealer looking First to the card( small pause) and then lays it down?
Damn good commentary... And Play.. That deserves a Sub...
idk nothing about poker but subbed from BBCAN3 and just wanted to say good work on episode 1 of Race
What a punt by that vlogger! He's usually more solid. Tough decision in the BB w 33. I've been in that spot. Did the same play. Same result. What can you do? Nice run. Keep grinding.
Best poker content on TH-cam, let’s go!
really liked the format. dedicated cameraman.
dang.. u had luck on a lot of those flips! great video!
Like on one hand, I understand why, but I’m also thinking of myself that you know you have an increased chance of flipping, might’ve been better to get to the flop.

wow made it to end of day 2 when calling with 6s is incredible
What was the buyin?
10000
That was some good production
Great vlog! Love the commentary! Makes me feel like I'm in the hand!
Enjoy the series and play great!
Sub gained!

These video ARE like movies man good job. Make them more often tho 😅
7:25 i really like an overbet on the river, he representing a single pair or A high typa hand
Easily My favourite poker vlog the narration is very funny.
Final hand: to me the x4.2 raise vs your stack is screaming “you have no fold equity!” With no possibility of fold, the 3s are at best a flip. Is this the spot you want to take with your 13BB stack?
True Jason Sudakis vibes :)
Fun to watch.
Hilarious if you named Llama the ‘Super Villain’
Great work bud 👊
Badass video bro!!!! 🎉
Easier to hit a big W on a poker tournament than success on a reality show. 😂 props. Good luck and have fun
My cuz had half of a BB and came back to win a tourny once, that was wild
Nice comeback! But why did you shove all in on pairs of 3???
Did you hire a videographer to follow you for the whole 3 days?! That’s graft. Great content!
These videos are very well done keep it up
Appreciate that! The team and I are working hard on them
This was very enjoyable.
