“Jack 10… i knew he started with nothing” - Phil Hellmuth with 9 7 off 😂
He did a similar thing with Negreanu a long time ago in a hand he lost saying he knew he was weak before the flop. He had A4 and Daniel had A10 😂😂😂
@@ZToxLives delusional Phil at his best 😂😂
Somewhere, there must be cash games Phil beats; just not on TV.
I want to see Helmuth and Dwan play that heads up battle!! Let's see the rematch!
Having second pair is really not nothing lol
Phil: goes all in with 3/2 off suit.
Loses pot
Phil: honey, he went all in with pocket kings!!
🤣🤣🤣
This reminds me of Selbst who constantly complains to her friends about losing because "some idiot with pocket A's called her all-in"
This caught me off guard 😂😂
Honey: I know Pumpkin
Honey: That's because you're a genius, Phil.
Dwan's reputation for playing an insane range can bring out the insanity in others...
That's what I love about watching him play 😁
I would love to know what he's thinking 🤔
No one will knows unless some brain guy scan them out.
You mean Phil’s insane range? JTs vs 97o lol
"I knew he started with nothing" - Phil Hellmuth holding 9, 7 off against J, 10 suited.
Dwan had the better hand on every single street.
That's not the point... Phil is saying he knew Dwan didn't have a premium hand. Learn poker.
I'm pretty tired of these stupid comments. we know that. do you even get what he means though? so what.....he can never bluff or sniff things out?
According to GTO and my solver Phil should bluff on that hand 34. 55776% assuming Dwan blinked 3 times before he put his chips in
Thats what he assumed and thats why he lost. Of course he knows the hand is insane.
The point phil is saying is he shoulda put dwan on a wider range than just premium hands and had he then he may have folded assuming dwan had more combos where he's holding a 10..
Tom was bluffing his ass off all night and waited for the perfect moment. Tilt is Hellmuths Kryptonite.
His ego too!
Honestly part of me thinks I'd bluff huge at him just to see a Helmuth full tilt live in person
Lmao it’ll be worth
His ego is his biggest krypto.. he is deceng at best
@@kendyjapri7869 lol and now he's pimping crypto
I’ve always appreciated Laaks respect for other players. All poker pros at the time needled Phil constantly. As soon as Phil apologized for taking so long Lakk quickly said “Take up to 4 days”.
his personality really made the show enjoyable as well. i always liked it when he was on.

Same here
All Helmuth was worried about was how he would be viewed."I am gonna look like a genius if i am right i am going to look like an idiot if i am wrong" instead of thinking about the hand he was more worried about his ego. Don't they say leave your ego at the door when you leave your house.
?
I think Hellmuth was just happy he got the chance to call Tom Dwan a kid. “Nice bet kid!” It only cost him a quarter million.
The producers probably gave free money to these guys and let them take a winning percentage
Spot on.

I watched this live in the good old days of poker. Old school Dwan is the best TV poker
New school Dwan is still amazing. But I live watching him in his early years, especially vs Doyle and the others
The price of wanting to know if you are right is ridiculously high.
@@red8884
I think playing on tv was a bigger factor. He didn’t wanna get bluff on televised tv.
@@red8884it isn’t even that. Dwan makes moves like this all of the time. Phil Helmuth probably made the correct call there given Dwan’s range and history.
I liked at the end how Eli brings Doyle a small bowl of fruit or something at the very end like a younger family member bringing the older one as a sign of respect “here don’t get up”
My favourite part of this clip actually. Nothing but love for those two.
Well said.
Eli was always a gentleman and helping Doyle. I saw this in HSP aswell
Eli always came across as a gentleman and in total awe of the big papa.

These Poker After Dark's, and High Stakes Poker's are so classic now.
The new ones just don't hit the same. The show runners need to replicate this exact same Poker After Dark set
and the exact same set they used for High Stakes Poker, down to a "T"
to give it that same ambience
This
High Stakes Poker was the bomb. So miss it
Why would they do that when they can make it worse? The new ones can’t compare to these classic ones.
It’s not about the set, it was about the players. It doesn’t hit the same because the poker scene of today doesn’t have the same iconic names & personalities as yesteryear.
@@Renisance2K Nice comment. I agree. The set would've helped though lol
I usually stand up for Phil against the delusional haters but this time I can't. Dude I get u try to 3 bet with 9-7 off but when someone from early position in this case Dur was small blind 4 bets, u fold 9-7 off quicker than a fly getting on your burger at a BBQ.
im assuming he had some kind of read lol but it was wrong
@MICHAEL PHAN he had J/10
@MICHAEL PHAN even from a theoretical pov its not in a normal preflop range but it is for dwan... especially knowing hellmuth may be 3 betting light in position.
@MICHAEL PHAN dude lol Apoc clearly doesn't understand what u were trying to say.
@MICHAEL PHAN yes pre flop was the worst call i ever seen, but his river call, i will say every single draw there was missed and it was durr, that had to be running in hellmuths mind, every str8 draw missed such as j-9, j-8, k-9, k-j, and a-k, also diamonds missed, maybe hellmuth put him on any of those hands ranging from j-8 all the way to a-k of diamonds because it could be any one of them since it was durr lol, durr did such a great job at making that river play look like a bluff because of all them different missed draws there was, and there is no doubt durr knew that all draws missed and could pull it off.
use to be able to watch this for free whenever we liked

I "love" how Hellmuth gives a verbal jab, I knew he started with nothing. Yet Phil started with less than nothing. But if you give a verbal jab back, he has the nerve to say you're sore winner. What a ... 🙄
There was nothing wrong with that reaction from Phil. This is one of the few hands you can say that for. The guy lost 200k, do you want him to sit there and smile?
Well, you've missed the point. If you dish it out, you better well take it too. But Phil doesn't, which makes him a piece of ....
True...very true. And thats the real Phil Hellmuth, he is an egotistical jerk even when the camera is not on him. Everything revolves around his thinking. Whether he receives a bad beat or he gets out played, Hellmuth will tell you what you were supposed to do....many times using a sarcastic, demeaning tone about your poker game. Even if its a female player, Hellmuth will throw his tantrums. Fun to watch tho....lol
@@Ricky.913 You've missed the point of Phil's comment. When he says "started with nothing" he means Dwan 4-bet without a premium hand which is considered an unconventional play. It's not meant as a jab at Dwan. Generally people only 4-bet with Jacks or better. Phil was spot on with his thought process he just came up with the wrong hand combination. He probably put him on 9-8 of diamonds or something like that. Obviously Phil has the crybaby reputation so I could see why people would take it that way though.
@@poopydoodie11 dwan's 4 bet without a premium hand was unconventional??? Well, welcome to Durrrr - land
"I knew he started with nothing "
Literally had him beat on every street
How are those statements in contradiction? "Nothing" meaning a hand that isn't a pair, or a hand that isn't premium, applies to both hands. Do you think Hellmuth literally doesn't know that 9-7 is not a strong hand? Jesus Christ these TH-cam clips fucking derange people.
@@dogperson432 Yeah I know. It's crazy how little nuance there is to people's logic. Like as if you had the worst hand that there's nothing left to analyze. There was multiple ways Phil could have won the hand without having the best cards, obviously that's what he's talking about.

Looks like he took a big swig of some chocolate milk and didn’t wipe his mouth after.
He's just been playing poker for several days straight.
He doesn't want people asking him about the durrrr challenge anymore so he's trying to disguise himself
Whenever i feel bad i come around 4:30 and watch till 4:50.. Always brings me a laugh ! Thanks Mr Hellmuth
97o for the ultimate board coverage!
Well done, PH
He covers two suits and the high and low straight XD
“Take up to four days!” -Laak 😂
I would say that Phil is an amazing player. Very patient and annoying to play against. Especially in tournaments. There's "but" though. He believes that he's a great reader and is hard to bluff. Whenever there's a camera around, he tries to prove it. This leads him to making rather questionable decisions. In combination with his rather bad attitude, he's just fun to watch. xD
And Dwan, once he makes a bet, starts to look like a challenged person. This freaks me out.
That’s why his handle is Durrrr
Great analysis
Hellmuth saying Dwan started with nothing like he had something other than 9-7 off when he started lmao
They love seeing Hellmuth walk into the room. Time to cash in.
Watching the poker vids, training the game all while listening to music that makes me sharp and able to achieve. I like Delta Parole, AFi, etc as music, what you guys listen to focus I am curious?
Hellmuth really gives the strength of his hand away with the manner of his snap call on the turn. Screams of a begrudging middling queen or jacks at best
Phil Gave away the marginal strength of his hand with the quick call on the flop, this tell is a common tell both players are aware of. Then Dawn used this against Phil on the river with the massive over bet. They both know Dwan could’ve been attacking Phil’s weakness and trying to make Phil fold a 1 pair hand vs Dwans missed draw.
Dwan is a beast!
They both checked the flop...do you mean the turn?
@@davidleonard7439 my bad yes the turn
@@heyitsanthony6366 who's dawn ,are you talking about my sister?
@@smrriles5668 woops im guilty of misgendering 😅
Durr just staring like an electro shock patient is easily the most annoying aspect of him playing. Along with him playing like molasses in January
I remember watching this when it first aired. Dwan bluffed at an insane rate even for Dwan and he got away with almost every bluff he attempted. If I remember right, it was Eli that picked off a big bluff when he had top pair against Dwan's missed draw which got him stuck.
I think Phil taking too long is a legit criticism. 5 minutes is enough time to make a life or death decision so it's enough time to decide to call or fold an all in shove on the river.
But there's actually a lot going on here. Flop comes possible straight and flush draw, turn pairs the board and a blank on the river, no draws completed. At this point either Dwan is going to bluff hard to try to win the hand or he's had a made hand the entire way through.
It's as polarized as it can get. The shove on the river is the exclamation point on that polarization because Phil's stack preservation style is susceptible to the big bet bluff and Phil knows that that is a weakness of his game that other players have exploited in the past especially guys that without hesitation will over bet and bluff all in.
Sounds about right, it should take about 4 paragraphs of mental gymnastics to explain a "legitimate" reason to go insane and kamikaze 97o. Jesus man, if you can rationalize this play you can rationalize anything.
Completely agree with you. However, I do believe that Phil should never have called with 9 7 off. I am no where near an experienced player but I feel that the initial call was bad play.
Just call it “Punting”
@@88mphDrBrown I never said I agreed with the call. Phil lost this hand because he betrayed his own style. Obviously folding 97 off in this spot is going to be the more profitable move a majority of the time.
@@jpa5038 the really heinous play is the 3bet, calling the 4bet pre, and calling the turn. Theres definitely a case to be made for the call at the end, I think that was the only somewhat understandable decision. It's just a giant punt/ kamikaze/ self immolation
these poker after dark shows were cool to come home late at night and watch. Phil's ego got the better of him on this one. All past history. Some of these guys kept their money, made some investments. But most of them are now just staked and play with other people's money and have to grind out a living
The second he said, “I call” with all that confidence, i literally flinched cuz I was in such shock 😂. Tbh tho I do see the merits to calling, since all major draws missed and Dwan being such a capable player - but that’s playing results
Finally, someone who understands poker.
Tbh it was the correct call. Dwan has a worse hand there over 50% of the time.
It’s interesting to watch this now. Back then, I was always a bit befuddled by Tom, but learning GTO/Exploitative play really explains his moves more clearly. He was simply ahead of the game.
Can you explain further ?
No he can’t explain further. Because GTO/exploitation play is just fancy millennial speak for playing regular poker and paying attention to your opponents
@@mscdman kinda. I think Garrett Adelstein is the best example modern day- exploitation is still king
@@mscdman haha this is funny
@@mscdman Except it's not. Exploitation play is paying attention to your opponents play. GTO is paying attention to your own play. They are opposing concepts.
9:38 Durrr looks so awkward, like he’s getting ready for Hellmuth to shout at him
If that wasn't Dwan I think Phil would have fold.
Still very bad call from him...
Kids, this is why you don't 3-bet call 97o preflop.
Great poker face by dwan. He did everything to look like he is bluffing
like?
You should look the same in both situations. The GTO facing. 😄
He always looks at a fixed spot on the table. He said it himself a few times. Nothing about that was to "look like he is bluffing"
@@fatimaWr2 There was no GTO back in the day. Dwan was the only wildest player in high stakes poker player pool with Sammy Farha , they just opened wide range & had no fear about money 💰, always made sure they will see the river. Unlike other NITs like Barry Greenstien who only played AA & KK & made no where & lost millions
@@shadowsmessage It’s a joke. I said when you’re always the same face both when you’re bluffing and value betting, you give no information to your opponents giving them no chance to exploit you by how you behave in those situations. Thus it’s GTO pokerfacing 😄.
“Honey, I put all my money in with 97 off”
Helmuth more concerned with how he looks in that hand than with playing it accurately.
This is exactly why we fold 97 off suit to a raise pre-flop not to mention you’re up against one of the greatest cash game players in the world .
I Love Durrrr!!! He’s not afraid to put his money in with the best Or worst hand which makes him tough to read and a Genius 💵😎💵
Im that kind of genius too . In fact there are lots of us .
@@michaelblankenau6598 why do u think I love Durrrr...takes one to know one 😉
Tom "Frozen in time face" Dwan. What a marvelous time this was, just before the AI's took over.
Where can I watch the rest of this episode or what is this specific episode called, I can see it was definitely a good one.
The full episode is available on PokerGO.com
Everyone talking about River when I’m wondering why tf hellmuth is 3bet calling w/ 97o I get it’s dwan but I doubt his range is that loose to 4bet on the SB v. Early position open and button 3bet
@@NoNo-ro9gx this right here 💯
Yeah the 3bet steal from the button is fine considering the loose dynamics, but its def a fold to a 4-bet. But what if Dwan instead just called with his hand (as he should), should Phil fold the turn or the river?
Because that's Phil Hellmuth, simply. When he decides to make a play it's based on emotions and his reads. We all know he usually play very snug, but from time to time he decides to be sticky and call down very light when he think he will catch a player bluffing. Yeah 97o is a dreadful hand to even consider this idea since he is even behind most of Tom's bluffs. But the plan was probably made in the particular hand when he felt very strongly Dwan was about to punt his stack, so he decided to call with intentions to hold on to his hand if he got a piece of the flop.
@@NoNo-ro9gx Its a button, a steal with almost any two is possible if you feel like your opponents are weak. And we are talking Hellmuth here, 97o has decent equity compare to some of the other hands he chooses to bluff.
Like Poker a good hand can be a bad one and a genius can be an idiot. This is why Phil has the most bracelets. He's both.
that face @4:35 tho lol
nah phil is just an idiot.
This comment is underrated
@@carlo8044 100%.. shit read like some critique's description plastered on the front cover of a best-seller.
@@l0rd_mvl104 No Phil made a fantastic call. All HSP regs knew about Dwan 4-b or 5-Betting with 86o of 3-barbell bluffing 98suited all 3-streets. Dwan was perceived to never hold top-10 hands in his range. Helmuth thought Dwan at best could have AKo or AJs or his favorite 86o or 89s or some garbage he loves to bluff. Helmuth beats all Dwan’s bluffs. It was just ridiculous that Dwan had J10s , best hand on board that Helmuth never ever thought could be in Dwan’s range. It’s a standard call against a wild opponent. U should play ranges not think your opponent always has the best hand. Dwan moving all in looked like AK or missed flush draw. Announcer even said that “ Dwan went from being stuck big to becoming a small winner “. Helmuth knew Dwan was losing hence tilted & could punt everything off a bluff.
Helmuth is a fantastic player. Never come to a conclusion on a player based on 1 single hand . It’s the sample size , if Helmuth plays 25K hands he could easily beat Dwan heads-up, just like he beat Daniel Negreanu. 1 hand means shit. Hence when u play poker & lose with AA & KK on same day in 1 session don’t think your poker career is finished. That’s why Helmuth won so many bracelets
"I'm gonna look like an idiot if i'm wrong, and I am still an idiot if i'm right."
Phil desperately wanted to out play Durrr. It’s completely against his style to play hands like 9 7 off suit but I think he had become frustrated with Durrr outplaying him in every hand. He was winning in this game so there was no need to get so much money in with a weak hand but he wanted to make a hero play and look like a genius, but he lost all his money instead.
Tom obviously did what worked back then but with poker today MDF, blockers and unblockers etc he would have definitely have to of adjusted but either way a legend in most people’s eyes, including myself and fact he still beating the biggest games where even the whales would have beaten the best back then is testament to how he can adjust and stay ahead of the curve
Tom just recently won the biggest pot in poker tv history.
Another satisfying moments to see the clown being whacked 🤣
Phil: "Maury, edit this hand out so I don't look like the donkey I am!"
Dwan wanted helmuth to think he has AK. Perfect check on the flop. 1/4 bet on the turn and river jam. Phil thinks his 7 is good and dwan played him into it the whole time!
Have PokerGO posted one clip where Phil wins a hand?
Can you remember and interesting TV hands Phil has won? I can't
"Hunny how can he go all in with just a set, I mean is this for fkn real"
keep calling 97o against 4-bet from Mr. Dwan. Wait to go, Phil!
My favorite hand from this show is when Viffer makes 2 pair with his K9.
He hit a king on me! A nine! Nine ball corner pocket
I liked that one too.
“What an awefull spot for phil hellmuth”
Well no, it’s an easy fold.
Except it's dwan who USED to go all in with air all the time.
it's really not. the tens pair up, making it harder to actually hold one and a queen is less advantageous for his range than a king or jack. Normally, with a hand that re-raises pre-flop, you have a lot of stuff which doesn't connect with this board. The bet is polar, so Dwan is representing a small range of nutted hands, not an overall advantage and balances it with a range with more bluffs than he would for a smaller bet size, to make the caller relatively indifferent. I think he should fold this, but its not ridiculously straight forward as you seem to think.
@@mick727xd exactly. Not to mention, these guys actually play against each other, 100× MORE, than a few clips we see on TH-cam. Phil knows dwan and his range, far better than youtubers who get to see BOTH players' hands
@@mick727xd im sorry but it really is simple a fold, if hellmuth has 97 he has t7,j7, a ton of queens, some tens, sure he has some missed diamonds and straight draws but hes pretty much at the very bottom of his range if hes callin 97 hes callin all the other hands and hes just callin WAAAY too much even against durrrrs super wide range too its simple distribution to realise this is a super snap fold x99999999
@@biggenderneutralpoohead You don't call in a linear fashion against a polar bet though. For example, 97 is a far better call than A7 without a heart, because you potentially block value and unblock bluffs. Dwan likely has 3 combo's of QQ, 1 combo of 10's, 2 combo's of J10s, 1 combo of Q10s, 2 combo's of K10s and 6 combos of A10o, which makes for 15 total combos. He'll check some of these rather than triple barrel as they block Hellmuth's calling range. Phil only has to win 1 in 3 times approx to break even, in other words, If Dwan has 8 bluff combos from a selection of low suited aces, KJ, AJ, 98s, it's a breakeven call.
I love PAD and HSP♥️ merry xmas!
Lol I love the awkwardness by Dwan when the camera pans to him after he with the water bottle Lol wth was that
I wouldn't say Durr is stoic, more like 'Durr is demonstrating his "I just had a stroke" persona'
Phil’s turn call basically tells Dawn what he has.
I don't know how good Hellmuth is at cash games now, but back then, he didn't have the caliber to play aganst big players like Dwan, and Ivey. Hellmuth is a tournament player
0:15 "That's the way big butt poker bet yeah" So true, Phil Laak.
I’ve watched a lot of Tom Dwan on HSP and PAD along with a few other cash game shows many times and whenever I see him make these overbet jams he has the effective nuts most of the time..and still gets called. I guess he must balance this at some point(off camera) or it would never work…
He also bluffs with totally nothing the other hands, Best example was on HSP he got trip 2s to fold and Pocket AAs with nothing. He bet 7/2 into people and won vs AK by massively overbetting pre flop. Ivey failed to call his bluffs
a lot of high stakes online NL200+ implement overbet on turn or river, it was not normal back in the days which is 10 years ago
Phil is his own worst enemy.
Hellmuth could have have 7 2 and the other guy have aces, and Hellmuth would still call the guy an idiot when he loses the hand
Sneak preview of the next High Stakes Duel?
Why is it that Phil is able to sense weakness preflop but unable to sense strength on the river?
He is...but you aren't giving credit to Durr
It's literally 3 10's or a bluff. Dwan has made so many of these 3 barrel bluffs that Helmuth's call isn't actually that bad. But by Phils usual play it is unusual
It's definitely not Tom's value range here. Phil's hand is pretty much face up here. The strongest he can possibly have is AQ. Tom can do this with 77, QQ, KK, AA and AQ for value with little to no worries of being called by better.
calling a raise pre flop with 9 7 is the exact thing he berates amateurs for the donkey, the ignorance of this man is amazing
"Honey, he went all in with trips."
Absolute bonkers for helmuth to take that long for a call on a pair
Hellmuth is still the best player because he has longevity. He's been playing professionally since 1988. He is still going strong and has never gone bust. You can't say that about many other players including dwan..................
When did Dwan go bust? Recently or a while back? I'm presuming Macau?
@@robcookex probably both, he has gone bust several times........
@@samiam7342 how u do know this???? How he getter back moneying? Pls do tell Sir.
Hellmuth is far from ever being the best poker player.....maybe top 15, top 12. Has Hellmuth done well in online games, like Ivey, Dwan, Antonius, B. Kenny or Jason Koon, A. Robl?? Is Hellmuth a great mixed game poker player, like D. Brunson, Galfond, Ivey, Antonius, John Hennigan, Benyamine??? Does Hellmuth go into the biggest cash games in Macau, like Ivey, Antonius, Dwan J. Koon, D. Cates, A. Torelli, B. Baldwin? Or grinds away at reg. High Stakes cash games like D. Oppenhiem, D. Brunson, S. Deeb, D. Benyamine.
Sure, Hellmuth is running good in 2 Heads-up matches and of course the best in the WSOP poker events winning mostly against amateurs and of course his self-promoting himself to the highest degree but IMO, I just can't say he is in a top 20 greatest poker players.
2:09 "Did he check?" My question is did his mouth move? 😂
Thank you new time rule!!! I had to fast forward that about 30x's
A Genius ……… in his own mind!
There’s no danger of Helmuth being taken for a genius.
Esfandiari and Negreanu agreed once upon a time.
Yeah, most braclets and cashes in wsop history... no chance of him being any good
Tournaments: one of the greatest ever
Cash games: one of the worst ever
@@lukash9193 Based on what is he bad at cash games? I looked for data but it’s hard to come by. Absent actual data that’s just urban legend. People used to think he sucks at heads up too.
@@RMF49 based on his results on pretty much all televised cash games like high stakes poker, poker after dark, million dollar cash game, the big game. He got his ass kicked almost every time by the real cash game bosses like dwan , ivey etc.
Do they have a hand mic?
When Phil slap call the turn Durr knew he is going to call 50k bet then he would call all in. So might as well go for the max also that will make it seem like a buff even more
I know these guys are Pros meaning anything is possible but C'mon Phil!!!!! How many times is THIRD PAIR good?
That too on a paired board 🤷🏻♂️
He’s not calling because he thinks he beats valuebets lol, he calls because he beats all bluffs. It doesnt matter if you have a queen or a seven in this spot, they both beat bluffs and lose to all the strong hands
@@carlo8044 disagree for two reasons: (1) super aggressive players like Dwan can also value bet thinner to balance out all the bluffs in their range so I wouldn't be shocked to see Dwan play a queen like this; (2) distribution says this is one of the worst hands Phil can ever have in this spot (really, he shouldn't have it at all, the preflop play is really bad) so even against a super aggressive player like Dwan you gotta have some folds in your range against an overbet on the river and 97o is certainly it, especially since the 9 blocks some missed straight draws. Just an all-round bad call by Phil
This is an amazing call, but unfortunately it was one of the greatest value bets ever made.
Every action Durr took suggested a bluff. Durr knew that Phil knew. Durr knew his range at the river includes loads of bluffs, missed flushes, straights, even AK. 2 tens on board makes a ten less likely for Durr. Phil beats 67 and 78. It's unlikely Durr would jam AA on the river on that board, because it's hard to get called by worse. It's basically a ten or nothing and Durr's range is just to wide not to call.
Not a bad analysis. However Phil doesn't beat 67 or 78. He splits againt them.
Clearly it wasn't an amazing call was it
@@jayb2175 Nah he's right, it was a great call. It was just an even better bet.
You try to make yourself seem smart, when clearly you're not! And Phil's call was great because it ended him, LOL.
Hahaha good to see dwan on his style i feel you bro. Damn
I had issues with poker go's title header, until the first words I heard was that 😆
I swear they have the stup--est poker faces/ looks!
🤣 "I knew he started with nothing", meanwhile Mr. Crybaby has 97 off 🤦🏽♂️
He call re-raise with 97 off suite honey
This dude really called a pre flop 4 bet of 16k with 9/7 off, then had the nerve to say "I knew he started with nothing." When he had Jack/10 suited. Lol. If Dwan had nothing what was your hand?
At the end there when Phil says “I knew you started with nothing” has a deeper meaning than just “bro 97offsuit is also nothing”
Phil was trying to make Tom think that Phil called the river with AK as a bluff catcher (when we know he raised pre with 97off) by saying “I knew he started with nothing” and mucking his cards. He was trying to imply Dwan got lucky because remember we are the only ones that can see what he has unless he must table it for showdown so it would really hurt his image at the table to open bluff so early into the game as well with a garbage hand on top of making a horrible river call.
its hard to rep a 10 when u 4 bet pre so hard for dwan to actually have something here decides queens full add the fact dwan is known for huge river bluffs i love the call
he continues calling with the worst pair on every street. he isn't just beat by a 10 lol. plus J10s is like a really great hand to 3 and 4 bet with.
Does Dwan sometimes check the flop/take this delayed C-bet and barrel line with Qx or an overpair? I think so. Maybe not with JJ/88. But doing this with Ax seems like burning money - as it's so easy for Hellmuth to have a Q - is that's what Hellmuth put him on? I guess in a world where people are calling 4 bets with 79o, what are we even talking about...
@@WHEREAMI42 with dwans huge bet on the river hes polarized . either a monster hoping for a call or nothing trying to get a fold no way he just has qx there
