![Phil Hellmuth Can't Handle Crazy Trash Talker! [Full Match]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ap-CbQAQde4/mqdefault.jpg)
Who else immediately went looking for more footage of Persson after they saw him out talk Phil Hellmuth in that heads up match?
yup. Ended up here. He's hilarious .
@@gplasv He's great. Bit of entertainment for a change!!
Yup
To try and figure out who this clown is
It just appeared on the algorithm for me. And that was after I watched that epic showdown.
Keep inviting Eric to the show. He's exactly what televised poker needs - Someone to talk a lot and liven things up. Makes it much more interesting to watch.
Him at a table full of robots lol
If you need drama to keep you entertained while watching very high level poker ..maybe you need to question what your true interest is.
@@kurtisgotyaditgits The guy isn't a pro like most of the table, so he's using something he has an edge in to even things out, his mouth. Televised poker will never survive if the entire table is a bunch of mute pros. You need people like Eric to liven things up. There's a reason Hellmuth gets invited to be on almost every televised poker event, and it's not because of his skill at the table.
@@VegasLoungeAct Hellmuth has the most wsop bracletes in poker ..he deserves to be there more than anyone else at that table.
Besides ,this is poker. If you need drama to enjoy it ,then don't watch it it's really that simple
@@kurtisgotyaditgits I can watch whatever I choose, and if you don't think drama sells on TV, you haven't been paying attention.
This guy is like Tony G but with muscles, how he got to Hellmuth will always be legendary
Hellmuth was heard saying he quit. He won't play in a tournament or a game if this donkey is invited. The guy will end up being the next Jamie gold.
Bruh that was so funny haha, flipped him the birds too haha
Legendary lol. That’s hilarious
Everyone gets to Hellmuth
@@anthonyt8307 shows how you were raised lol
This guy is GREAT for the game! When you have poker royalty laughing and 2nd guessing themselves you know you’ve truly done something.
He is a joke
@@ebayer4life980 your life is a joke
@. I'd like to see that evolve, how everyone figures out his game
In a serious game he's thrown out for that dirty trick he played in the end.
@@joebenson528 in a serious game, if I tell the player to act that I will call any bet, this is a dirty trick?
Eric looks like that beginning boss villain you’ll probably see again at the end of the video game
Idk about that
I don't play cards with dudes in muscle shirts.... have some class, bro! Where's yer Hoodie and sweatpants! 🤣
Disgaea
Or the owner of a moving company who does all the moves on his own
BAHAHAHAH
Patrik "THE SEVEN DUUUUUECE. ITS GOUD FOR THA GAAHME." 😂😂😂😂 Love it 😂
Knew it all along 😂😭
Poker used to be played like this. Before television. In saloons with gunslingers and normal joes alike. The witty vs. the intelligent. Drinkers vs. the gamblers. Getting inside of your opponent’s head was a strategy to even the playing field. Respect to Persson for using that strategy. It’s fair game. Always has been.
*pulls out a 6-shooter*
He is awful
against garrett was a borderline angle so i disagree
@@Josh-oi6lh it's 100% a scummy, low-rent, street hustler angle. Not new whatsoever. The only reason everyone was so diplomatic at the table was because they didn't want the $800k stack to leave.
@@Josh-oi6lh 100% an angle every day of the week. Was enjoying it until then, but that was just scummy
Persson is the best thing to happen to high stakes cash games in a long time. Nobody enjoys watching hooded up maths kids say nothing for 4 hours.
Agreed today's robots
Virgin hoodie nerds vs Chad Persson.
Square poker players are boring 🥱
@@babarhead6956 Looks like Deathstroke to me.
true
Patrik cannot believe EP. This is the most I've ever heard him talk or laugh at a table.
I assumed that they already knew eachother. Plus his English has improved a lot since the early days of these shows so would make him more comfortable
Exactly, I agree. Patrik likes EP. He's one of the only players that wasn't intimidated by the table talk. Ivey, Dwan and Antonius. All immune to Person's antics. However, Garrett was definitely second guessing himself because of the same antics.
@@marvincotton1919 I like EP. He’s fun to watch get people rattled. On the Garrett hand, however, I think that could be conveyed as a bit of an angle. Looked like an overeager mistake, but you do have to wonder if he did it to try and shut Garrett down.
They been homies they play w eachother in a big private game at the Bellagio
And Durrrrrr and Ivey and I assume the nerdy asian kid too.
We need more guys like this, he makes the games way more fun to watch.
Now go play with him and tell me how do you feel after
@@YallaMiami he will feel real broke.
@@overthehilldill3626 exactly!
And he will be so annoyed and start making mistakes and start getting impatient.
No we don’t need players like him, even though he is not doing anything against the roles but playing against someone like him will be ANNOYING AF
@@YallaMiami I like that he is playing the villain tho so you missed my point.
@@YallaMiami I'd rather watch a game like this than one where nobody is saying anything.
Table talk really gets into the minds of all players. This dude was dialed
Persson is great for poker!! Poker NEEDS characters like him!
Much better than robot Garrett
Agree! Him and Nick Verutucci!
Disagree. Call me old school but this guy is so annoying.
@@evancramp6045 I can see how 'old school' fans may not like it/him. Poker was getting too boring and predictable ~ with guys like Persson, watching poker becomes fun and entertaining!
@@evancramp6045 it goes farther than needed sometimes. But its great hearing table talk instead of silence and commentators every show.
This table talk can get EP in to trouble, but it’s so fun and entertaining to watch.
He does seem to give his hands away with his talk if people will just listen
Trouble gets into EP
@@moonbull3137 pause
If he does it non stop, idt it matters.
Imo he's trying to do reverse,reverse Psychology.
I’ve never really watched poker, but man the intensity that Eric brings is unbelievable. He makes the game exciting from a viewer’s perspective.
Persson is definately a welcome addition to the poker world. People like him and Tony G really add something else to theses lineups.
I gotta say that if I get to choose an announcer it's gonna be Gabe all the way. He knows he is not the show and hence economizes with his words, thus let's us enjoy both the tension of the game and the table talk. And when he speaks he's spot on what's going on. And in a calm and clear voice at the perfect volume. Kudos, Gabe!
He was an actor and a comedian.
He is pure entertainment indeed. Not many ppl around can bring Dwan like that into talking and Ivey into smiling in the middle of their hand. The only problem is, pros will get used to it fast and start to easy read. There is a reason why most of the best players around are sitting there with a pokerface on.
This is only my second time watching Eric play and gotta say, love his style, gotta see more of this.
We need Eric back on the show this guy is hilarious.
Have Eric and Daniel Negreanu ever played together? If Dan is in a talkative mood, it could be really fun to watch.
this game would be alot
Factsss, him and tony g at the same table would be epic
@@multiplepassions3694 yes!
Yepnor tony g or Mike matasso
DNegs doesn’t talk anymore. Look at his recent videos. Now that he’s all about GTO, he doesn’t babble like he used to.
Even Hollywood cannot produce such kind of stuff...... I am a new fan of Eric Persson now after watching this....
I wouldn't be able to contain my laughter with the 7 2
Persson is quite the character, and fun to watch, as well. Televised poker can always use more colorful personalities like him. The hand with Dwan is great.
Eric is definitely the most entertaining. Dude has so many things to say to get in your head😂 getting dude to check on the last hand was crazy😂
That was an angle shot and not just talking. I don't like it.
ye but in a serious game he would be thrown out..
He is so much fun to watch. Getting Tom to talk through his thoughts is so entertaining.
Didnt that guy to the right of Eric steal Toms chips when he paid to see the hand?
We want more Persson!!!
No we don’t
Yes yes we do
@@mmmyeah7 no no no we don’t. Anyone who likes him has zero class
@@ebayer4life980 exactly
“I’m like a superstar the world just don’t know”
I love everything about this guy. He’s what the sport needs these days. Giving Phil Hellmuth a taste of his own medicine. Watching one of the biggest trash talkers in history cower down and cry like a baby was pretty mesmerizing
That last hand is just hilarious. And Patrick at the end “just another perfect play” 😂 so funny
Persson is so much fun to watch play. He has great table banter, and is very sneaky, and shows great courage sometimes! This is how you play Poker! I love it when he crushes Hellmuth.
Love this Eric guy, makes these games entertaining
Can't stop smiling watching E.P this guy is truly an Evil Genius. Absolutely love it.
What a great energy, he had all the pro players on tilt second guessing themselves
The commentary from AJ and Gabe is also excellent and makes this special
EP is the best!!! I wish I could meet him in person. Then again, he might take all my money. 🤣
Still it's worth it. Atleast poker is fun around him 😄
table talk mastered. except dwan figured it out, when ep was seemingly so relaxed and happy he gave up his act, and dwan immediately folded. nice read there by dwan
He gave it away when he started talking about praying. Once he clarified what he was praying for Dwan immediately folded.
Think why Dawn folds is mainly because of how the hand played out. Dont really think Dwan had to use his tells reading skills to find a fold OTR.
its an easy fold anyways xd.. Dwan is just a little bit of a callling station that has always been his only weakness..
No way EP was bluffing there...and he’s never making that river bet with one pair.
Throwing a chip or chips in the pot out of turn, the chip/chips remain in the pot and do not constitute a call or any part of a call when the opponent bets. In my opinion, the out of turn chip tossing is a form of cheating.
Ya it’s an angle shot for sure. Especially messed up to do a guy like GA who is so kind to everyone.
@Timothy John how is intentionally acting out of turn an angle? Do I really need to explain this? Not that it is even relevant, but you have no idea what the floors ruling would have been if Garrett decided to change his bet size, there is no blanket rule for this because what EP did was against the rules and an angle and B) Garrett would never do that, his main concern was not somehow taking advantage of an amateur not that he went from thinking his hand was best to being unsure. I GUARANTEE you if you show that clip to ANY professional they would tell you that is an angle. Maybe you don’t know poker very well which is fine, but if you do I assume that asking how that’s an angle is Trolling.
@@mattbrown6182 I don't know about this game, or any high stakes game really, but aren't a lot of these games self-policed? Like, there isn't really a floor man and often the floor is reluctant to make decisions because it's the players who make the games happen? Like, I said, I really don't know, but if it is anything close to what I am saying, it makes G-Man's spot even harder.
only poker noobs don't realize that was a clear angle shot.
This guy is just what poker needs awesome it’s simply entertaining welcome back poker.
Love him or hate him poker needs more “characters”
Persson needs to stake Kassouf and get him back into poker!
@@NORTAH85 no thanks
He made Ivey break his poker face *while in the hand!* That's the bigger achievement right there.
EP is an absolute MONSTER poker player.
His table talk is simply nuts.
He has 5000 ton balls to go along with it too.
Very fun to watch.
Persson made Garret feel guilty for betting the best hand... HAHAHA - You don't see Garret getting manipulated often. I also love when he cracked up Phil Ivey. Got Ivey to actually react to him, but Ivey seems to always make the right moves and folds. Like to see more of this guy for sure!!
I cannot stop smiling after watching this! What a legend 😂
Legend lol. Are you 12
@@ebayer4life980 says ebayer 4life
@@drosmoke14 yup I said it
Eric's premature throwing of the chip in to call Garrett's impending bet was brilliant. He induced Garrett to simply check and save himself (Eric) some money
no, that's wrong. It was bad poker etiquette and warranted a warning or chip loss. It has been done before and it's SUCH a scummy move. The rest was gold.
@@aa1bb2cc3dd4 Nah, I think it's brilliant. And it's a forced call, so although it might be confusing to the other player, the other player has an advantage knowing that he must call now if they bet. Some might not like it etiquette wise but seems it should be totally legal since it's a forced call.
Idk how Eric’s premature call worked to be honest with you. Maybe easy for me to say since I knew his cards but if Eric did have the nuts or wanted the other guy to raise why would he risk it by calling his raise before he even bet. This was obviously a scare tactic and a huge tell imo.
I don't get why Garrett decided not to bet after that. He should feel even more comfortable after that play by Eric since he wasn't going to ever get reraise.
That play was definitely not ok
Friendly poker banter like this is top tier content
When Eric says "oh so you only bet half the time" to Tom that was hilarious. Tom was genuinely soooo confused what tf that meant
My wishes are finally answered!! We need more of this guy!!!
Eric is a genius, great talker, one of my favourite players, has a great attitude!
That last play was amazing! I’m reminded of Tony G years ago when he said to Hellmuth , “Of course I lied! it’s Poker Phil!!” Lol
The last play was an angel.
@@patrickmccarty3638 Cry more, ya baby. You poker snobs are hindering your game from actually growing. Could be a much bigger game, but you nerds ruin anyone with style and charm.
@@Dejusticed Angle betting is not poker which is exactly why it’s banned. If you did that back in the old days, you woulda been shot.
Finally someone who actually talks! I dont have to wait for the Negranau & Hellmuth drops anymore
The only person who read him like a book was Phil ivey. GOAT!
He didn't even care what he had
And he ran from the table
Yes, he read him with K-high... xD
@@kamilbeelidebelfort3319 Two pair actually
He only had a pair lol.
Persson is a genius and a beast player. Love this dude
Eric was in the ZONE here. Awesome hands
Eric's the man, love this guy, making the pros squerm ,brilliant 😍
That last play man, Person just bought a house inside Adelstein's head
it's not "bought" if it's free.
He angled him, I dont think he intended too but he def did.
@@KlokStudios not an angle.
@@KlokStudios Technically angling is not against the rules, and ultimately this angle could have cost him his entire stack if Garret had the nuts and went all in.
@@KlokStudios I believe they cut out the part where the table says he has to call any bet now, because of what he did and he agreed, so he could have lost a lot more
Persson is the man! I could watch every game he’s in!
@@jayare1119 lol 😂 you must be a millennial and never seen how poker used to be!
@@jayare1119 go watch the episodes, Brunson angled do you hate him? Watch Hellmuth anytime he plays and then talk about bad etiquette, do you hate him? You obviously don’t realize this is basically a home game that’s recorded. Did you ever see the farha gold hands? Same thing was happening with them! It’s not a tournament and no one cares at the table. You obviously have no poker history knowledge.
@@jayare1119 when you were 2 ok
Love this dude! His talk isn't obnoxious at all it makes the game more fun
Truly a King, could watch this guy talk the talk and walk the walk all day. Great poker here.
Garrett’s a great player no doubt but this isn’t his normal “Hustler” weekly game. And is definitely not use to having someone have more money than him at the table. That guy being “EP”.
EP did something stupid by putting the chip in earlier than garret. That's just out of line if you ask me.
True. He got outplayed socially. got frazzled.
@@riseandshine5706 By acting before his turn? How is that being outplayed hahahahahahaha.
@@jimmen2945 For sure out of line
He got angled hard by a richer dude😂
Wow this video is an absolute masterclass at manipulation and mindtricks. When you add the fact that this guy is an amateur playing the highest stakes in the sickest lineup, its the best speechplay video I have ever seen. Take a bow Eric 👏
He’s also incredibly wealthy and a bit of an egghead. Has a JD from Georgetown and 5 BAs from unlv. He had a legit law career before this. He isn’t wearing a trucker hat and sleeveless shirt for no reason. He’s playing a role I think
He is amateur with a lot of money. That makes a difference.
what happened at the end tho. I don't get it ? did Eric lose that hand?
@@dreamteamamv8177 Yes he lost the hand two pair K7 vs 3 of a kind 5s. He figured he might be beat so when he saw Garrett reach out to bet he threw chips into the pot before Garrett to signify he was going to call. By doing this he made Garrett think again about betting, figuring Eric may have a flush or better 3 of a kind. It was a mind trick that got Garrett to check back and not have to call a 70k bet to showdown.
@@zachhenderson1657 wtf are you talking about!? That’s not a “mind trick” - that is deliberately acting out of turn. It’s angling. It’s quite frowned upon. On some tables it is also entirely prohibited.
I haven't watched poker since 2004. I'm hooked again thanks to this guy.
Love this guy Perrsson he's got all the old skool table tactics with all the new game chat gr8to watch wld love to play in a 6/9 handed game with him he,a the main attraction of have a gr8 laugh so this man
Getting Phil Ivey to laugh, is impressive.
I like it all except the angle shoot when he threw in to “call” vs edelstein.
I agree that wasn't cool
Agreed
Disagreed, his play saved him a lot of mula
@@jakesteffan1581 if you want to win money by playing dirty. Go ahead. You won’t catch me doing it.
Agreed 100%
This was awesome 👌 👏 🙌. What's really cool is that you can tell the pros appreciate his speech play.
Best poker clip I’ve seen on this channel
i was kinda bored of poker the last couple of years. Now this guy on the other hand is a legend already, i cant stop watching him.
I agree I think he’s the next superstar of the game as long as he can stay likable and keep winning
He is awful and annoying
He's brilliant
Legend lol
Eric has a huge tell in his demeanor when he talks. When he's bluffing, he's seemingly more serious and almost no smiling when joking around. night and day difference in comfortability.
Absolutely correct, he's transparent.
imagine its tactic for the next session.
I’m so glad to see them putting out High Stakes Poker episodes these days, especially with Gabe 😭 High Stakes Poker, WPT, Poker After Dark in the early/Mid 2,000’s is what got me started playing poker in the first place. Almost 20 years later and I’m able to earn a decent living with this “game”. ❤️
He’s a breath of fresh air, brings a lot of drama, reminds me of the early seasons of HSP, love it
He's a trip. Great to watch. Would hate hearing his banter non stop at my table. Lol
Should force Phil to participate in the same game as this guy, that's entertainment
They did a heads-up tourney, it's on youtube
@@theeberk I know, I would like to see more of it, it was excellent torture of Phil ;D
This guy is amazing, you just listen to him and he makes you shift to the direction he wants you to go, without being aware of what's going on. It's really hard to pull off, usually pros have seen it all but this guy is next level..
what happened at the end tho. I don't get it ? did Eric lose that hand?
@@dreamteamamv8177 He did lose the hand but by "faking insta call" he made the other guy call instead, even if he was about to bet, knowing he was probably behind with his two pairs.
I like his game and energy but that last one where he threw in chips before his turn, that seemed on purpose and very close to an angle shot in my opinion.
14:13 Phil Ivey's face 🤣🤣🤣
Never seen Antonius Ivey and Dwan smile before. Bring Persson back every time.
Dwan is a legend of the game. Great fold.
The first and last hand are so funny, "gud for da game" and "Just another perpek play" 😂🤣
See this is what poker needs instead of staring at each like lovers
That was such an angle shot at the end…
EP is the best! Always brings the energy
love this guy, pure content
2:22 This dude literally got Patrik to laugh out loud.
That last play against Garrett felt a bit dirty
that heads up with adelstein was so perfect. the accidental snap call gave garrett so much more time to ponder on it
I love this guy hes a master at getting in peoples heads
He’s not the hero we wanted, but the hero we needed
We all gonna just ignore that Ivey is the only one who didn’t get pumped here? Folded the worst hand and checked back the turn like a boss. They should just stick to their fundamentals and stop trying to have his table talk influence their decisions. He’s very balanced about when he talks and doesn’t
the goat
The look on Dwan's face when he went all in on the full house!😂
I love that guy. Really entertaining to watch
Wow. Wow. Wow. I mean that play he made on the last hand to force a check, genius.
Scummy play actually
Do you actually think Patrik would have reacted the way he did if it was “scummy”. This is POKER bud. Man up or go play checkers if you’re easily intimidated.
It wasnt scummy but very dangerous. He now is forced to call any bet. So now Garrett knows he cant get re-raised. It gives up too much info against you.
Imagine a table with Persson, Sam Farha, Tony G, Phil Hellmuth and Phil Laak.. and why not also Jamie Gold?
That last hand was so perfect like wow
My new hero Eric Persson. Guy is a bright light that has experience and shuts down Hellmuth.
Him and will kassouf heads up. Mics will be broken
What a game that would be
Poker player with some stones taking down big time players. Please bring him back for more.
more eric persson!!! nice to watch you play dude
Im typically not a fan of table talk but Eric is entertaining and impressive with his talk. Without being obnoxious. I would LOVE to play with him.
An absolute Menace who even got Ivey to laugh
many would hate this guy but i think hes quite enjoyable to watch. and he can defo hold his own.
epic this is worthy of atleast a bean to watch havent smiled and laughed this hard in months
"just another perfect play" hahaha hilarious by Patrick
