These intros were so amazing. No wonder people got hyped for the Main every year at these times. Golden era
The GOLDen era ;) I see what you did there.
I still have never seen anybody run as pure as Jaime did in this tournament.
The jerry yang win was a massive luck box run.
Darvin Moon got run over by the deck for over a week in 2009.
@@Potterholic1Joe Cada caught two outers like it was his job. At least Jamie had the goods when he played, albeit he had the goods almost every hand. At least he wasn’t a suck out artist.
You joking? The very next year that asian guy jerry. Behave hater.
Hal Fowler !
I don’t care what the difference between 2nd and 3rd money is… I’m calling that all in with 8-7 ♠️ I’m sure that still haunts Wasicka to this day
Agreed. It's still the hand that haunts me!!!
@@shamilton2556
There would continue to be a large chip gap between their stacks even if Wasicka won that hand.
@@HopyHop1Ok so? It would still make a big difference and increase his chances to win
i see people make this comment a lot about this hand but there is no way you are calling
@@HopyHop1 you act like he wouldve had 1% of the chips, if he wins he has 33% of the chips its enough to win HU
That buffet until 2025 is about to expire
This was probably the last truly big moment of the 'Poker Boom' era. Combining the fact that Jamie Gold's table talk style of talking about his cards was outlawed immediately afterwards and then the UIGEA was passed a few months later in October 2006 severely cutting down the number of casual players coming to the game, Poker while still way bigger than it was pre-Boom was never the same. Nowadays pretty much everybody at the top levels is essentially robotic, theres just 'something' missing from the game that will likely never come back that was there back in the mid 2000s.
Cunningham actually played very well in this final table. Made a lot of very tough lay downs in difficult situations.
Yes, Cunningham played perfectly. That A10 v 88 hand would've broken all the other amateur players. Alan recognized that there were no draws for Gold to have there, so the check on the turn, and bet-fold strategy on the river was perfect. Also the shove with the A6, Jaime showed his tell there.
Making tough lay downs doesn't get you paid.
Of course he did, HE'S ALLEN CUNNINGHAM!!
97o terrible
@@aheroictaxidriver3180it keeps you from going broke tho
After this WSOP, the 'jamie gold rule' was added stopping players from talking during hands that effect the pot & now in 2024 it's just awful WSOP final tables full of soulless robots 🤖
lmao so true, but most people are soulless robots anyway, dancing to the whims of TV indoctrination. tbh I don't get all the hate Jamie gold received, he played it his way and outlasted the entire field, and that is a huge accomplishment.
Perfectly said
Yes, we all much prefer no-one talking for 15 minutes before folding!!!
Huh
I get it did affect when it’s like a multi way pot but just the threat took away so much
I have never seen a run of being on the winning side of coolers like JG in this WSOP or any tournament.
Just wait for the next episodes 😂
Yep! It's literally the only reason Jamie gold won
@@kevinscottbailey8335 You asked anyone that won a tournament they got smacked in the face with the deck and got lucky that's every tournament winner. Jamie had a huge lead and could see just about every flop at this final table. and his table talk was perfect these players didn't know what to believe that's why the WSOP changed the rules for the next year about talking about hands.
@@JohnnyBGood11 no offense but that's not at all what happened here. Jamie was chip leader for days without EVER giving up the lead. He never once wasn't chip leader at the final table. That's so unheard of.
@@JohnnyBGood11 not every tournament winner is smacked in the face with the deck like Jamie gold was. There's a big difference between getting lucky a time or two and getting lucky over and over and over and over like Jamie did
Please keep uploading all these WSOP. Loving it man
I remember getting this on pay-per-view for about $25. I stayed up until 2am eastern watching it, fell asleep and woke up around 3:30am or 4:00am and it was still going. No hole cards displayed back then either.
Every time I watch this I keep pulling for Cunningham even though I know the outcome. 😂
😂 me too
Johnny Chan had to have a piece of Jamie right? He was way too happy for him. Or he is the nicest guy ever
He probably got stiffed too
He paid Johnny Chan for poker lessons
Chan could raise his price for lessons after this, so he is happy :)
It was all for show. Either Jamie or Johnny came out and said it in interviews later.
I had forgotten just how much Jamie gold got smacked in the face by the deck. He got so many hands where he pipped the other player with Queens over jacks and that kind of thing. Or he would call with rags and flop trips. And then he tried to screw his backer out of 50 percent. Knowing that he went broke after overestimating his own abilities and trying to play high stakes cash games is the only thing that makes watching this bearable. I was pulling so hard for Allen Cunningham and Paul Wasicka this year
If Paul makes that call when they were 3 handed...which I don't think folding an open ended flush draw is profitable....he wins the whole thing. At worst he gives himself a fighting chance.
@@pimpylongjohnson1165 yeah that really was the difference there. I'm not sure how you lay down and open-ended straight draw plus the flush draw in that situation against that bad of a player
@@kevinscottbailey8335 it still hurts my soul.
You have to remember that majority of the hands you are shown are big wins or interesting run-outs, you have to get extremely lucky to win a tournament of this size but what's shown in these episodes does not reflect the reality of the thousands of hands that are dealt out.
@@tbbb8439 I mean, that's true enough, but when you watch the championship runs of the other champions, you don't see most of them getting absolutely smacked in the face by the deck like this
Indeed Seidel could not wait. You can tell...
The best run in poker history. He was on fire for so long. Gold was using dark magic.
I got into Poker because of this main event, it got me to finally go to the casino. Jamie Gold was so entertaining!
facts
That was probably the luckiest one tourney run in the history of poker. He had aces twice I think, queens 2 or 3 times against jacks all-in, a bunch of straights where he was way behind and got lucky, even with 52 against Cunningham. Sick run. You can't say that he played well or played bad because he didn't have any real decisions to make the last few tables.
He played great to beat all of these players and got into their heads.
@@JohnnyBGood11absolute pure luckbox and big stack bully tactics. Proven by the fact he has done literally nothing since despite numerous efforts. Everyone looks like a genius when they get smacked in the face with the deck for 8 days
@@yuhyuhtheindigo7085 I would say it had to do with being the big stack bully tactics he was able to see more hands because of his stack, I dealt a lot of tournaments seen a lot of crazy things. The people that were playing Jamie in a hand were scared because he was a big stack, even small time pros played scared against Jamie. I liked the one when the player had the correct read on Jamie and Jamie said yeah you caught me, I thought he was going to call him he folded then Jamie put it in his face...LOL
Darvin Moon would like a word with you (Well, he would if he was still alive).
If i'm calling a river bet from Jamie and beating him, I'm not flipping my hand over until he shows
11:00, haha, famous last words from a bunch of guys that didn't see any of this coming.
They all sounded like so many gto players nowadays 🤣
How lucky can 1 person get? Cunningham plays a pos hand 9 7, Flops trip 9s and Gold has 9 10
you can tell Gold was the luckiest player because he was so irrelevant ever since this tournament. dude flushed away all of his winnings rather than giving it to his father. lol
What did he spend his money on?
Lee was short stacked with hardly any chips earlier in the tournament.impressive he made final table.
Is because of the picture of his grandson
Lee was full of himself. Pompous. Had an ego the size of Manhattan.
Bring back this format!! And Norm
People keep talking about how Jamie was so lucky during this run and he was. But I think an even bigger reason is how bad the other players were at the table that he was playing with (other then Allen Cunningham). Prime example is the 5bet shove with Lee with JJ against the chip leader. All the tells he was giving besides not being skilled enough they can’t even read ranges and tendencies enough. I doubt gold 4bet with out QQ+ in the final two tables let alone the final table. He was aware of his image JJ is doing terrible against they range. You don’t wanna see AK which he would have also lost with on that flop.
Ranges weren't really a thing back then. Most people tried to put their opponents on an exact hand. Look how Daniel Negreanu always tried to put his opponent on an exact hand back in the day. That was the norm and he was a top pro. You are expecting amateurs to know a concept that the pros didn't even use at that point. Maybe some of the top internet players in 2006 used ranges, but that's the extent of it.
I don’t know why Gold keeps patting himself in the back? He’s hit with the deck throughout the entire tournament, and whines like a baby when someone else outdraws him. He all but gives his hand away completely, but the other players can’t seem to be able to read him correctly.
While it's obvious he got smacked with the deck, it's also obvious he played really well and used his top notch speech play to get a lot of folds and calls he needed.
The only one crying is you. he played great to win a tournament this big.
In every tournament somebody runs hot - law of big numbers... doesn't make a person better or worse, built into the game.
Sure he ran up cooler after cooler but one good thing about Jamie is they wanted to beat him every time so it did alter a lot of opponents thinking
Jamie out played all of these players he got into all of the heads of these players.
@@JohnnyBGood11he didn't get into their heads, his catching straights on flops every hand did.
@@squalie9 He did not hit straights every hand if that were the case he would have taken every chip from every table and that did not happen, not sure you know how ESPN works they don't show the hours of Jamie Gold folding now did they.
@@JohnnyBGood11you can Stan for Jamie allllll you want, it doesn’t change what we all saw. Dude ran the hottest deck WSOP has ever seen for a week straight. Basically impossible to lose when you make that many hands and coolers. The deck was begging the other players to give him chips
@@yuhyuhtheindigo7085 You can say that all the players that make the Final table ran into the hottest deck, with a field of over 7500 players, If that's the case then poker is nothing but luck no skill.
Style of the day... Recklessly overplay your hand & eliminate yourself from contention for no damn reason! The amount of unnecessary donations in this event was absolutely mind-blowing,🤯!!!
I’m never folding that straight fd in this spot, even in worst case scenario where he’s up against 10x of spades he has 8 clean outs and it’s highly unlikely given the way both his opponents were playing that that hand was even out there. Also,he had more chips so even if Gold wins he’s going to get second place money. Spot got to him and he nitted up and played to ladder up. He easily could have taken this whole thing if he just sticks the money in.
best part is the end when he called his dad
If only Stu Ungar was in that line of past Main Event champions. 15:50
Stu Unger was the best of all time.
Who was to the right of hellmuth?
@@SteveAustin-jp3ev On drugs! and he lost everything, he ended up being a junkie.
@@JohnnyBGood11 ya and with help he came back and won it again for a third time. Yes he abused his body and died a tragic drug addicted death. He was a mathematical genius
@@fordman7795 Brad Daugherty, he won the Main Event in 1991.
The bluff that wasicka made against allen is otrageous. Without any blocker on a paired board aces with allen who raised preflop and check raised was crazy. Allen should have gone at least heads up with gold.
Yeah that was a truly awful play that happened to work out for him!
Yeah I was thinking of how outrageous that was…but it worked
Wasicka was a sicko. Guy made heaps at nl1k + 2k online. insane bluff.
jamie is a savage, i love his style of play. outstanding performance
One thing I know about the poker community among the pros. They are haters for Johnny Chan to be in Jamie’s corner says a lot about Johnny’s character.
Jamie’s phone call with his dad at the very end got me crying in the club
in the last Hand Wasicka did not say call before Gold turned over his Q9. If he would be a bit more crafty he could have folded after seeing Golds hand.
"I guess you talked me into it" does not count as a call
I'm a fan of Jamie gold
I just played live 2k tournament where I hit one set and few second pairs during 6hrs of play. Watching JG getting hands makes me question reality
Chan had VIP access, who gets that close to the table
Lol@ the first hand where Gold hits his set. They all knew it was going to be that way all evening long. Also lol @ all the limping.
That's Scotty Nguyen, baby.
People can say they hate Gold for how much he talked but idk how you can truly hate the guy with how he treats his mom and that ending call to his dad after everyone had left pretty much
His talking adds to the show - love it
What’s wild is how most of these people including Gold went and lost all their money and went broke
You probably got Five-Deuce
That 67 suited when they were three handed, I would’ve pushed my chips in so fast the felt would have burnt off the table after flopping the open ended straight flush draw😂
In the moral manner, shouldn't talk anything to an opponent until the hand over, especially after a big bet, after the river card came out... JG played so well even if his mouth quiet.
Jaime gold was a card rack!
Nice !
Lets go 2007 now, thank you hahah
Less than 2 more years until the buffets expire😂
I love it Jamie Gold acts as if he doesn’t want to knock someone out and feels really bad when he has them dominated but when the river hits and Jamie wins…. Arms in the air and a YESSSSSSSSSS….. what happened to feeling bad Jamie fake Gold
Exactly. It’s all an act and it’s so nauseating. Dude has ZERO authenticity
The phone call at the end was such a sweet touch!
Great production.
Yes you did in 2003 , with moneymaker.
18:55 say what you will, but Jamie's talk made better players, like Friberg here, make mistakes. And deflate their confidence. Thus making them play worse.
Did Jamie Gold order food and try to use his chips as a plate? Because I would have.
Unlike Michael Binger I never reached my goal of becoming a part time theoretical physicist...
1:15:20 what could of been if wasicka would of called the all in! Kinda funny gold will tell them his hand and they still call losing. Talk about dominating the tournament just crazy!
wasicka was so far behind chipwise... did it really matter in the grand scheme of things?
Have not of. Learn grammar
Sorry but wassika should have went for it wa the 7-8 spades so so many outs. Unless you really want the ladder up It was the best chance to get a good enough stack to go for the win. Bottled it which ultimately cost him any hands of winning
He was playing for 2nd place and got the extra 2 million
@@JohnnyBGood11 clearly. But personally when I’ve already bagged over 2 mil I’m going for it there to get the win.
Straight flush draw it is a calling hand on that spot. So many outs
Has Gold won anything else in the poker world since this?
He took 2nd in some big tournament in Los Angeles, esfandiary won it
He came on a few celeb/professional poker shows and got worked. He was a luckbox, no shame in him admitting it.
Does it matter if you win a tournament this big and walk away with 6 million what do you need to prove, Jamie had to give this other guy 6 million. Jamie is a world champion for life, are you a WSOP main event champion?
@@JohnnyBGood11bro, you are ridiculous with the defense of this dude, it’s never ending lol.
why weren't they at the horseshoe??
I know this is mega edited for TV but ive never seen anyone run as hot in a tournament as Jamie Gold. And i have watched a LOT of tournaments. This is just gross.
I wonder how they arranged it...
Dude got the most lucky pre flop hands I've ever seen. I know it's a super cut but my goodness
In my opinion ,Gold is the worst WSOP champion of all time
why?
Cunningham was light years better than any player at that table. I've never seen a lucky run cards like Gold had in this tournament.
Jamie Gold is a fkn legend. Role model.
Where’s the 10 of ❤’s when you need it. 😊
I don’t understand why no one picked up on golds game. When he was quiet he was bluffing…..
fr...
Did Jamie ever pay Johnnie Chan for coaching or Bodogs for fronting his 10,000 buy in ?
Can i get some of that run good holy shit. They dont color up in tourneys?
Can you talk crap about your hand and get people to fold when you're bluffing and when you have it get them to call?
Why did Jamie have the Shane Helms theme music in there and not pay WWE?
Cunningham played unreal. Minus getting bluffed off once. Up against a 3/1 stack who’s catching cards left and right.
Lucky Gold lol
gold vs binger should be studied
Lee was the best player on that table
He's Allen Cunningham! MountainCo if you see this it's Trap
let´s be clear. To run 7 days... dealing those cards....everyone could win.
Okay were you there everyday with him? on day one he went under 5,000 in chips I like these people that come online and say he got hit over the head with the deck all the while watching Jamie talk crap at the players at the table getting them to call when he had a hand and getting them to fold when he didn't have a hand yeah it was all the deck. smhhhh
Wasicka with the worst fold is WSOP history 8 7 of spades
Possibly a WSOP championship bracelet fold
He thought about the pay jump
The only main event champs this century that are worse players than Jamie Gold are Jerry Yang and Robert Varkonyi
One of the great ICM disasters of all time. Richard Lee was playing great, had a good read on Jamie(mostly) then spazzed it all in with two significantly lower stacks and massive pay jumps with jiggities. Such a shame, right up there with the great losses of all time with the cursed jacks...
Agreed. This is probably a bad play in a cash game, and the prize ladder makes it significantly worse.
@@aheroictaxidriver3180 that's still the biggest prize pool of all time outside of million dollar buy ins. It was a spaz, no other way to put it. I'm sure he regrets it looking back. Gotta find a way better spot than the fourth best pair before the cards are even dealt...
@@randylahey8207 Well, he would have to wait, on average, 70 hands for a bigger pair.
@@aheroictaxidriver3180 it's not like it had to be a big pair. Just a better spot. Four bet jamming jacks into the overwhelming chip leader three betting you is ICM suicide. Even if he never won another hand, he'd have laddered at least a couple spots. That's a huge difference in money.
@@randylahey8207 Well, (AK or AQ) only comes up once every 55 times on average, and the flop only improves your hand about one time in three. So the chance of that is even worse.
You can’t be mad at him for the luck, frustrating as it was, but all the times he said “I’m playing great”. No, you’ve been extremely lucky and can afford to push people around. Which he should, with the big stack. But anyone can and should bully with that luck-induced chip lead. Not skill
Sorry man, I call, Hate Gold more than Annie Duke, Lederer, and Hachem combined, throw Raymer and Chan in there too, Talked like he wanted to help guys out, he knew exactly what he was doing
Don’t you think it’s a weird coincidence that Lou Gehrig died of Lou Gehrig’s disease?
Jamie often acts as if he's sorry when he is ahead in a hand. If he were genuinely sorry for winning those pots he'd fold his monsters.
He’s not sorry for winning the hand he’s saying sorry like hey man I know this is a huge pot and it’ll effect your life etc etc.
@@saljablo2767
Right, and if he were genuinely sorry (as I use the word) he'd let them win the pot. I guess it's a matter of language usage. I only say sorry for actions I regret doing and wouldn't do again under the same or similar circumstances. For example, I'd be sorry if I accidentally spilled a drink on someone or folded out of turn. I'd regret those actions and wouldn't do them again under the same or similar circumstances. But, I'm not sorry for winning pots and I don't give opponents brownie points for uttering insincere apologies when they win pots.
@@saljablo2767
Moreover, if Jamie were sorry that the players he knocked out would have won more money if he didn't knock them out he could have shared his prize money with them. But, it's apparent Jamie's use of the word "sorry" is vacuous. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with not being sorry for winning pots, but why apologize for actions that you're not sorry about doing at all?
After rewatching this whole 2006 main event i don't get all the hate Jamie Gold has endured all these years for his behavior at the table. He seemed geniunely respectful to all his opponents and was always gracious.
He was the most narcissistic champ; he thought it was all about him, and didn't realize the cards were just falling his way.
@@aheroictaxidriver3180 I call BS, he out played the these suckers getting them to call when he had it and getting them to fold when he didn't have it. every player that wins any tournament gets cards.
@@JohnnyBGood11 It's EASY to outplay people when you're catching cards, genius. What's your IQ? 10?
If people make this kind of calls its easy 19:00
@@aheroictaxidriver3180 Your stupid he got these players to call him when he had a great a hand and when he was bluffing he got them to fold, what tournament were you watching.
I’m not sure who wins, but I got my money on Wasicka
They need to put a clock in the WSOP the tanking is unbearable
If the players feel the tanking is too much, they can always call the clock. If putting a clock on the game because the viewers are bored, maybe those viewers should watch something else.
@@williamdoyle2063 when another table sees 10 more hands an hour due to people at ur table tanking it's an issue sir
The one and only time I can ever remember lon being wrong... I'm not a believer in this man
You don't have to be, who said you did.
Jamie's call of Alan's all-in was ridiculous. Saying "I'm getting the right price." No, you're not. You could so easily be dominated there. At the very best, Gold is flipping there.
He has the chips to do it. If he would have lost the hand it is not a big damage. Of course he esa extremely lucky un the tournament but in that position I would have also called I think. Only against AK,KK or JJ he was in a terrible situation
@@El.Espartano Alan's range there is going to be AA-1010, AK and AQ, and maybe 99. Against tens and nines it's a flip. Everything else is around 2:1 underdog or worse. I think if Alan wins that, he's got around 18 million; and if I'm Jaime, I don't want Alan Cunningham within that striking distance.
@@colintimp1372 #1 Jamie. #2 Allen. #3 TT. Other than being wrong about basic fundamental stuff, your analysis is off the charts!
The "chip in a chair" story is unbelievable!
Gold was such a suk out the whole way through.
Jamie gold
Was the greatest run in wsop history
Milwaukee Best is the worst beer!
Helen Keller could have won if she got Jamie golds hands
Gold = broke af 😂
Whats amazing is Jamie was still blazing hot even after going what is it months between the summer tourney and the final table in November.
It wasn't in November in 2006.
I think November 9 was from 2009-2016. It was October 9 in 2012 and 2016 due to elections
Lol.....they even wore the same clothes!

C'mon, nothing funny.
Worst final table ever
