Episodes from each year, with Lon and Norm, are available on PokerGO. After the live streams finish in the summer we make episodes that go on TV and then on PokerGO.
It’s so much better binge watching all 7 days for the first time, without knowing who wins! I’ve always played, but never watched like this until recently. I’m kinda glad I’m late to the party. So much to watch & catch up on! Kinda like starting to watch Entourage in Season 6 & getting to go back & watch seasons 1-5 in a 2 day period. So Great!
For some reason the timing of the vid releases of these is awesome. It is like waiting for the next episode to come out on ESPN. To think we had to wait a week back then.. Now it is only a day or less. Shows how human patience has worn thin.
I remember watching this. This was very close to my introduction to poker. I had watched rounders just a little bit before this, and that was my introduction. This was my first time watching real poker and the WSOP. I remember it specifically, because it was my first time watching Daniel Negreanu, and something about him and his charisma had me interested in him and his game from that point forward, even though I had no clue who he was at the time. Sammy Farha was interesting to me as well. Watching High stakes poker 1 came not too long after this, and playing my first time online, despite not being 21.
Although he didn't win, he was basically there. Considering the field nearly doubled, he outdid himself basically. 0rrtty underrated how far he made it
hey you pokerGO guys! we do find it very awesome that u realease the footage kinda for free when you also have probably bought the (copy)right! thats a good move, im really interested at which WSOP you will stop though, anyway keep em coming, we love it!
11:07 Whole table applauding his slowroll lol seen this hand maybe 30 times now but that still makes me chuckle. Mostly bc none of em rly even understands it was a slowroll lol
That was actually a large part of the problem back then. A lot of players came in to play expecting major action every single hand; because that's what they saw on TV. I watched so many new players sit down and get frustrated (and whine) and leave or constantly table change. The old ESPN broadcasts used to at least number the hands at the final table so you could see that 30 hands passed without anything happening.
That wasn’t a problem, that is what made the poker BOOM. So many bad players thinking they were just gonna come in and hit hand after hand. Poker was so easy playing those fish for about ten years after 2003. It’s much more difficult nowadays.
I’ll never forget something I saw. This man lost his arms. And this was in school. We closed our eyes and we listen to him play the drums. Better than I’ve ever heard. With his feet. You could do anything you want you just have to try.
It's kinda wild hearing the commentators talk about Hellmuth needing to "catch up" to anyone in the bracelet race when he just had 9 looking back from today when he still had almost half his bracelets left to go.
15 year old me still remembers getting into ccards with my friends around this time, and my dad showong me Rounders which I still tell people is my favorite movie. Mike the Mouth was my favorite player back in the day. All the Full Tilt Gear man lol great memories for sure
It really bothered me when poker took off, how for several years they wouldn't mention his name at all. They always talked about Doyle, Phil and Johnny, but never mentioned Stu; presumably because they didn't want to show the dark side of the life.
@@colintimp1372 He was definitely mentioned a lot less because of his serious drug addiction, as well as gambling problems too. He use to treat dealers and even certain players like complete garbage. So many of the to players didn't like him a whole lot.
His aces won the hand, therefore they didn't get cracked. If you get enjoyment from false realities, you must have an interesting life, albeit probably extremely unstable.
1:54:12 .. I always thought this was an impressive fold, but after watching more carefully I think Hellmuth saw the guys cards. Any villain who checks his cards like that (using one hand to lift) always exposes to players nearby. Hellmuth is staring at him at an angle than could have easily seen his cards. He does his best to put on a show then when the guy bets 10k. He is rarely folding that turn as played. Just sketchy IMO.
That was an amazing hand between Jen and Cory. She said she knew he had 98♦️♦️ and was even hoping the 7♦️ didn’t come on the river. That’s amazing cuz I ain’t gonna put him on that specific hand and even not anti-sweat that one outer since it’s so unlikely… but even still, it hit she put him all in and he gives a speech so I’m that moment it don’t even feel like that hand but it was lol
I gotta agree with Helmuth here tbh…this was during the beginning of the poker boom and there were soooo many amateur players playing terrible and getting lucky. Man the players these days would run circles around the players from back then lol
Joe was a no one pretty much. He was a little more accomplished than let's say Raymer and Moneymaker... But.. He still is quite unknown at this point. And just so many people
Ya’ll can say what you want but I agree with Phil Hellmuth . Dude went all in on KJs without even seeing a flop is an amateur play and the fact he hit the river he got lucky.
You misunderstand. If you have a good hand, you DON'T want to play against bad hands. You want to play against other good hands. That's why you make raises, and BIG raises. For example, if you have AA, you'd rather play against AK than 87, because you'll win more big pots playing against AK.
33:20 Raymer shoves 17k over a 2.1k 3bet and the other player does not even think about it and snap calls. God I miss the old times….and I hate to admit, but PHJr. was really ten times better than anyone at his table. AK was not nice to him though
Really wish they continued content like this with the editing and Lon and Norman

my thoughts exactly
So happy these are going up
For some reason the timing of the vid releases of these is awesome. It is like waiting for the next episode to come out on ESPN. To think we had to wait a week back then.. Now it is only a day or less. Shows how human patience has worn thin.
I remember watching these games back in the days. I still get an elevated heart rate just watching these hands today.
That hand between Cory Ziedman and Jen Harmon was like it was scripted out of a movie. So sick.
Brutal!
What was sicker was his slow roll I don't even watch it I skip it to cringe.
in hindsight and the talking he did and double check back on river was so obvious lol but...
"I kNeW yOu haD That haNd"
she was in physical pain, but all of us would have suffered the same fate
I’m so glad you guys uploaded this. I dealt the ‘05 WSOP and my daughter got to see me on “TV” lol. I couldn’t find any clips of me before this.
Where are you in this? What you wearing? Respect for playing.
I’m in this episode also!!
Whatever you can say about Hellmuth, 'I can dodge bullets, baby' is still possibly the iconic phrase of the poker boom. Shivers.
Crazy that “I can dodge bullets” and “this guy can’t even spell poker” are in the same episode.
Such a great double entendre for those that dont know bullets is another name for aces.

Fossilman is an underrated Main Event champ.
Greg Raymer was arrested in a prostitution sting lmfao. But I guess he can be underrated too lol.
He just won races
@@andylymbo Lol what? I never heard that. If that's true, that's hilarious for some reason.
Under age prostitution at that males
@@aheroictaxidriver3180Nah that was Joe Cada brotha. He basically got it in bad like 10+ times.
31:18 nice to see a young Vicky Coren-Mitchell here; a beautiful, talented, and classy player who would go on to have a very successful poker career.
Get real
simp
She was at the final table of 2003, staring at Dutch Boyd after he busted.
2:28:14 continuously calling the Ghostbuster’s logo “Casper” is hilarious to me 😂
What Greg Raymer does in this main event in his title defense is nothing short of incredible.. looking forward to watching this again!
You mean run like God??? Lol
@@Sam-db4mr you're not wrong lmao, i posted that before even rewatching just how well he ran!
Although he didn't win, he was basically there. Considering the field nearly doubled, he outdid himself basically. 0rrtty underrated how far he made it
Raymer played text book poker at its finest back to back . What a great player he was
I remember recording this and Battlestar Galactica on vhs. Man i feel old!
That AK fold vs AA is unreal. Hellmuth godlike
2005 was a special year for me man i miss those days
hey you pokerGO guys! we do find it very awesome that u realease the footage kinda for free when you also have probably bought the (copy)right! thats a good move, im really interested at which WSOP you will stop though, anyway keep em coming, we love it!
That hand between Helmuth with AK and Pittman with KJ was legendary. He can't even SPELL poker!!!
This was my favorite year. Rewatching these has been so nostalgic.
I like Joe Cada's year. Dennis Phillips, what a wild card.
2010 was the best by FAR
2006 was my favorite
Memory lane. Thanks for putting these up
@2:27:48 Isnt that the Ghostbusters logo. Pretty sure it’s not Casper the friendly ghost
Yes, I also had to comment this immediately. Bothered me way too much haha 😂
11:07 Whole table applauding his slowroll lol seen this hand maybe 30 times now but that still makes me chuckle. Mostly bc none of em rly even understands it was a slowroll lol
Greatest t.v poker ever, all the Legends
Are they going to put all main event since 2004 ? I'm so nostalgic !!
Soooo much nostalgia dude tysm for these uploads.
Watching poker so boring now they need to condense it like they used to do
Tell me you don’t actually play poker without telling me you don’t actually play poker…
That was actually a large part of the problem back then. A lot of players came in to play expecting major action every single hand; because that's what they saw on TV.

I 100% agree. They need to grow the audience with this style of broadcast. We need another poker boom
OP is clearly not a student of the game
Let’s not spoil this for anyone who might not have seen this before. Now can someone pass the sugar?
Stop, stop. I’m all in
are you having fun ?@@vaxxeenmtg9733
Oy oy oy
I’ll never forget something I saw. This man lost his arms. And this was in school. We closed our eyes and we listen to him play the drums. Better than I’ve ever heard. With his feet. You could do anything you want you just have to try.
Wow this takes me back to being 17 an watching on Bravo and challenge tv in the uk
It was hard to comprehend, watching him play with his feet. Better than anything I’ve ever heard.
"Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi"
It's kinda wild hearing the commentators talk about Hellmuth needing to "catch up" to anyone in the bracelet race when he just had 9 looking back from today when he still had almost half his bracelets left to go.
That Intro is mindblowing
Thanks for clearing up the blurry poker go
1:56:38 best line of his career hands down
Brings back memories watching this
15 year old me still remembers getting into ccards with my friends around this time, and my dad showong me Rounders which I still tell people is my favorite movie. Mike the Mouth was my favorite player back in the day. All the Full Tilt Gear man lol great memories for sure
Greg Raymer is a class act. Love ❤️ the dude.
If you would add up the TH-cam ads to the total run time of the video, it would run for around 12 hours
MORE PLEASE, THANK YOU
Milwaukee’s Best, Brewed for a Mans taste!
Love to see Stu Ungars title runs again.
It really bothered me when poker took off, how for several years they wouldn't mention his name at all. They always talked about Doyle, Phil and Johnny, but never mentioned Stu; presumably because they didn't want to show the dark side of the life.
@@colintimp1372 He was definitely mentioned a lot less because of his serious drug addiction, as well as gambling problems too. He use to treat dealers and even certain players like complete garbage. So many of the to players didn't like him a whole lot.
@colintimp1372 I agree brother. We shouldn't hide the past. He's top 3 legends of poker.
2:21:00 - Mike Matusow's wiki describes things differently than Mike does here. A number of other incidents mentioned there as well.
That intro gave me goosebumps when it was new and just did!
Thank you Pokergo!
Is that Viktor Blom on the left 33:07 ?
25:15, watching Ferguson getting his all-in Aces cracked is my favorite part of this video.
His aces won the hand, therefore they didn't get cracked. If you get enjoyment from false realities, you must have an interesting life, albeit probably extremely unstable.
Man 2005... I was 21 or 22 here and I don't think I even knew what poker was back then 😂😂 I started playing in 07 or 08 I believe
Was hoping they'd post the 2004 Tournament of Champions.
Poorly edited.
The Farha/Hudson hand was the first hand on day 1, not the table with Harman.
Ever since I saw that. It reiterated the fact that you could do anything with anything.
46:09 what a runout!!!
2006 jamie gold run I can't wait! next!
Moneymaker broke the mole!
Nick Morris at 2:48 very underrated player
That Motorola cell phone ringtone in the beginning when the guy was announcing the tournament to start. 2:14
Sammy was always my fave and ivey
I pray to the Poker Gods that Howard The Thief didn't end up with that card protector from Doyle.
i need that bad beat booth in my Life asap
The Mouth saying he was picking up drugs for a freind is strong
What a fold by Daniel!
32:19 is that Jamie Gold? And a few seconds before Victoria Crown Mitchell folds her hand.
Looks like him but it’s someone else lol
I Love ❤️ Phil Hellmuth . I can dodge bullets baby lol 😂
1:56:14 wowwwww super fold hellmuth
Why is there no more comentary highlights with whole cards of 2016+ WSOP Main Events ?!
1:54:12 .. I always thought this was an impressive fold, but after watching more carefully I think Hellmuth saw the guys cards. Any villain who checks his cards like that (using one hand to lift) always exposes to players nearby. Hellmuth is staring at him at an angle than could have easily seen his cards. He does his best to put on a show then when the guy bets 10k. He is rarely folding that turn as played. Just sketchy IMO.
Did Howard Lederer actually get Casper?
Helmuth oozing class
HAHAH YES!!! We continue
1:56:38 the best poker meme was born
I want to see some deleted scenes! Let's start with finishing the scene at 40:41
That was an amazing hand between Jen and Cory. She said she knew he had 98♦️♦️ and was even hoping the 7♦️ didn’t come on the river. That’s amazing cuz I ain’t gonna put him on that specific hand and even not anti-sweat that one outer since it’s so unlikely… but even still, it hit she put him all in and he gives a speech so I’m that moment it don’t even feel like that hand but it was lol
I ❤can read the cards now
Brutal slowroll and speech by Zeidman. A lot of people would not be happy with that kind of behavior at the poker table.
2:12:55 He called a raise with a queen and a ten!! Where do they even find these players?
California lol im at hustler and I saw a couple people call all in with q10
1:32:40 England during every Euro 2024 match
Zeidman gave away his hand a little bit by that table talk
Weird, I prefer O’Malley as a podcaster over a fighter, straight taking and his seemingly honest opinion. 👊🏼
I gotta agree with Helmuth here tbh…this was during the beginning of the poker boom and there were soooo many amateur players playing terrible and getting lucky. Man the players these days would run circles around the players from back then lol
1:36:27
Norman was ahead of his time.
1:58:22-2:00:00 is the hand of the video.
when poker was fun
Watching these shows you how much society has crumbled in just 20 years. These were the times.
DN evolved into a great reader.
2:03:00 "The guy can't even spell poker". Classic hellmuth blowup.
A nearly 3-hour long clip and not even a single second of Joe Hachem playing?? 🤔
There were multiple Day 1's with 5,000 entries. No one knew who Joe Hachem was. Before July of 2005, his biggest cash was $3,000.
Joe was a no one pretty much. He was a little more accomplished than let's say Raymer and Moneymaker... But.. He still is quite unknown at this point. And just so many people
They didn't mention Jason Koon, Chance Kornuth, Isildur1, Isaac Haxton, etc, etc, either.
is that Tony g 1:36:55
I take full responsibility.... So...I went to pick up some drugs "for a friend" 😂
Victoria Coren-Mitchell!!
Sick
26:28 zero clue on what’s going on
I wonder if Howard Lederer got Casper when Dolly passed??!!
Ya’ll can say what you want but I agree with Phil Hellmuth . Dude went all in on KJs without even seeing a flop is an amateur play and the fact he hit the river he got lucky.
I really hope Doyle renegged on that Casper thing after Black Friday
"Derrr guess I can do a lot of sightseeing if I lose this hand"
Hope Dutch is doing good
“I got a big pair let me raise 20x the big blind cuz I’m scared”
Oh ok well I will call your 20x raise to set mine with beautiful pot odds of course
You misunderstand. If you have a good hand, you DON'T want to play against bad hands. You want to play against other good hands. That's why you make raises, and BIG raises. For example, if you have AA, you'd rather play against AK than 87, because you'll win more big pots playing against AK.

2:25:18 Mike the mouth going off.
1:56:00 Phil is errily good.
„I bought drugs for a friend“ lol
