My top 3: #3: Jonathan Duhamel vs Matt Affleck in 2010 This is probably the most heartbreaking hand in the history of the WSOP. Given the stakes it happened at (2 tables left in the Main Event), the fact that whoever won the pot was going to be a huge chip leader and the fact Duhamel made a pretty bad call considering the odds and the fact he still had enough chips left if he folded to be competitive, yet got rewarded for it demonstrates how unfair Poker can sometimes be in either direction, whether its losing or winning when you shouldn't. #2: AA vs KK vs KK on the 2018 Main Event Final Table Bubble The odds of this happening are unbelievably low and it happened on the ultimate bubble where the tension was so high and nobody wanted to be 10th. To watch the bubble burst on the cooler of coolers, plus knowing the feelings Labat and especially Zhu had to have considering they put their money in effectively dead and seeing the electricity in the room is something we may never see again. #1: Chris Moneymaker bluffs Sam Farha heads up in 2003. This hand literally changed poker forever by showing a (then) nobody could legit outplay a seasoned pro in a hand that had nothing to do with luck. Moneymaker went on to win and the rest is history. The thoughts of 'if he can do that, i can do that too' is literally what propelled the poker boom to the heights it reached, in most other games or sports amateurs know they can never compete with pros. That hand could very well directly or indirectly be the reason nearly all of us are watching and/or posting on this video.
@@PaulRoos-p3othen you have to throw in the MoneyMaker A-Q vs Ivey 99... That was a hand that screamed even when a pro sucķs out and amateur can catch a Historical River!
The rest is history because of combination of ESPN's tremendous coverage of the event (first show shot in 4D) along with Worldwide exceptance of online poker, Awesome Online sites... It wouldn't have mattered who won in 2003... The Boom was created by ESPN... In 2002 Robert Varkoni, a lesser known amateur WON vs a tougher Final table... Ivey got 23rd in 2002. And Absolutely zero changed in Poker (except online sites had smaller buy-in satellites)... The Major Change was ESPN's new COVERAGE... and the importance of Lon and Norman creating "characters" out of players instead of focusing on gameplay.
#90 isn’t a slow roll because Cynn didn’t have the stone-cold nuts, and he was making what was undoubtedly the biggest decision of his life. Respect to Cynn for taking the time to think it through
I mean it's not like the "stone-cold nuts" that you're afraid of are gonna bet first twice and shove like that on the turn for almost a pot-sized bet. KJ never folds there given the opponent's specific line. 100% slowroll for that much time.
@@flaminggalah1 Have you every been in a situation calling for the Main Event title? It's so easy to run your mouth on the internet when you see both hands...
@@RomanPer LOL You are completely ignorant, and have no idea what you are talking about. The only way Cynn would surrender his hand in that spot is if he had a medical emergency and was unable to continue to play. That was 110% a slowroll, it was absolutely disgusting, and it was AN INSULT to everyone who plays the game with conscience and respect.
@@CaveJohnson13except it doesn't fit WHO John is. And what we saw from him that tournament. Dude didn't have a bad bone in his body and never slow rolled anyone the entire tournament. Why start then? He was stressed and just wanted to make sure everything was in order. If his opponent was that upset he could have called time on John, but he didn't.
John Cyn did not slow-roll him, it was late, he was tired, he was thinking it through. Tony Miles made a bluff it didn't work, congratulate him and do not be a personal pity-party.
I think they had been playing for like 10 hours heads up.. I would be exhausted.. pocket 5's or 8's and it's over.. he was just thinking about the options
What are you talking about? This is what the dealers are for in these high level events - to count the chips properly when asked. He still would have called, but players can't touch other players' chips to get proper count.
@@RomanPer yes the dealer made a mistake but ultimately if you make an action it’s on you to know. And for him to act like they should toss the hand out or take some chips back is ridiculous. This kind of thing happens. The action stands period.
@@beatingu8347 I never said that the action shouldn't stand. I was replying to the "guy out of line" comment. This "guy" has $16 million in cashes and constantly plays in the high roller tournaments. I'm sure he knows the rules
@@RomanPerTDA rule is very clear on this. “41: Accepted Action: Poker is a game of alert, continuous observation. It is the caller’s responsibility to determine the correct amount of an opponent’s bet before calling, regardless of what is stated by the dealer or players.

It is always your responsibility to get accurate info- poker is a game of deceit, if your info is wrong and you make a decision because of it, you are still acting on your hand.
@@Nosirt The TDA is a bunch of jagoffs who have no skin in the game but think they know the game better than the people who play it every day and succeed at it.
John Cynn may have been one of the lost likeable winners ever. Like you would not say he was "slow rolling" if you actually watched his game and deminor during the event. It's clearly not something he would do as a person. =/
At 19:00, the dealer calls showdown, and Dario is perfectly fine with it. At 19:02, Dario sees he's beat and only then has a problem with it. Then he goes on and on about it. Very ingenuine and fake, and a sore loser. The rules are clear. There's no argument.
@briansweeney6733 there isn't anything special about it. KJ in that spot is a must call. What makes it top 100? The fact it won the main? Then ever main winner would be top 100. Boring, slow roll hand.
jack is a chummmpp for that. like hello? the dealer told him how much the bet was. idgaf bout whatever ancient rule he’s talking about. That was messed up.
It wasn't... If you watched that while world series, Cynn never slow rolled anyone, and was always curious and personable at the table. He was never a d bag and honestly that's not in the personality we saw of him that world series.
@@CrazeeAdam And the Siberian tiger at the San Francisco Zoo never attacked anyone, until it did. The problem with people like you is that you think a slowroll isn't a slowroll unless it's malicious. But you have absolutely no self-awareness, so you don't comprehend that the malice can't be proven nor disproven, because it's merely a state of mind. So you think it's only a slowroll if someone can prove something that can't be proven.
Yeah, business people spend months negotiating and examining the details of multi-million dollar decisions, but we should expect Cynn, who is exhausted from hours of poker, to make that decision for millions of dollars in a few seconds.

It's funny how he waited until after he saw he was dominated by QQ before he started complaining about it 😂

These are great! Looking forward to the rest of the uploads
Poor from Sammartino, only questioned it when cards were exposed.
Quads vs quads on the Main Event bubble is crazy...
John Cyn did not slow-roll him, it was late, he was tired, he was thinking it through. Tony Miles made a bluff it didn't work, congratulate him and do not be a personal pity-party.
Not a slow roll but a definite nit roll.
@JimmySands-pd7xt That's how I look at it too. Lots of things to consider even though a fold is never in the cards (pun intended)
@@albertschaf6985 If you're never folding, what is there to consider?
I think they had been playing for like 10 hours heads up.. I would be exhausted.. pocket 5's or 8's and it's over.. he was just thinking about the options
@@kodymyers384 The option was to fold, and no sane person would ever do that.
Mental note: if you ever get to the WSOP, remember, everyone has pocket queens.
Awesome series !!!
Hand #85 is a waste of time in this list. He threw his chips in front of him. It's the most standard ruling ever. Give over, Dario
# 82 is such a ❤️ breaker 😢. Pollack was playing tight the whole way, then gets burned 🔥 by 4 in a row hearts. This is 1 hand ☝️ I always remembered.
😂😂 The 17 and 22 guy only complained because his 10s were beat. I bet you anything he would've called regardless
Jack was right "if you call 17, you call 22" 😂
Once you say call you are committed
Diaz with that boss laydown
#83 quad on quad violence. Sickness.
the Diaz fold still very impressive
14:56 dude just drank diarrhea from an aquafina bottle
#85 the guy is out of line. It’s ultimately up to him to count the chips. Had a ten hit the flop he wouldn’t have said a word.

9:00 best moment in history of poker
#82 was a tough way to get knocked out. Poor Pollak, the joke was on him being he's a comedian.
The diaz hand should be top 5
#81 should be much much higher
I miss Normal Chad.
13:20 how is that a bluff?
Eastgate 6 of diamonds needs to be way higher on the list.
Diaz fold is literally the best ever.
It was a nit roll, not a slow roll
It would be a nit roll if he was contemplating folding his hand. He was thinking about Vegas and the effin Mirage.
That Kevin Pollak hand was disgusting
Is that Garrett behind Marcel in hand #89?
I doubt it, he woulda been 18 back in '04
HOW WAS QUADS OVER QUADS ONLY NUMBER 83 AND NOT TOP 5?! FLOPPED QUADS TURNED BETTER QUADS WTF
Was absolutely a slow roll at the beginning. You’re not folding trips heads up. Dot. Care if it’s life or death.
86 was a TERRIBLE hand
If Sanmartino sees the other guy has 88, 99 or AQo after he ACCEPTED the first floor ruling, then he doesnt start crying like that....smh
First clip with Cynn is a disgusting slow roll, make you think he has Ace high, wouldn't shake his hand after
John Cynn may have been one of the lost likeable winners ever. Like you would not say he was "slow rolling" if you actually watched his game and deminor during the event. It's clearly not something he would do as a person. =/
You are clearly deranged. Whether it's a slowroll doesn't depend on the person's character. A slowroll depends on WHEN, not why.
isn’t a slow roll!
Vogelsang has nothing on the OG UNABOMBER LAAK
Diaz is top have folded hand ever
Luske is annoying

There's no argument.
He called with jack high better be in top 100.
I think that’s in the first part around #94
Apparently Rebei has never heard of the concept of ICM, playing a massive pot on day 6 of the Main Event with A5 suited.
Sammartino is the type of person to complain he got twatted in a fight he started. Typical Italian to be honest.
#90 is ridiculous. KJ pal, f@cking call already. JFC.
Sammartino was so far in the wrong. It's CLEARLY accepted action, shut up and pay.
#90 sucked
Why?
@briansweeney6733 there isn't anything special about it. KJ in that spot is a must call. What makes it top 100? The fact it won the main? Then ever main winner would be top 100. Boring, slow roll hand.
Its YOUR responsibility to confirm and know the bet the dealer can help but its on you to use your abilities and confirm
Start off with a slow roll
jack is a chummmpp for that. like hello? the dealer told him how much the bet was. idgaf bout whatever ancient rule he’s talking about. That was messed up.
Sammartino just a crybaby, he was calling regardless. He only started getting mad when he saw the other guys hand.
