It’s the correct jam and it’s the correct call there was nothing actually wrong with this hand between them other than Phil going off on a rant. He got owned all session in a game he was sure he would crush.
They are there for fun, Phil is there for competition. When your as experienced as him you want to make the right calls and folds everytime. Getting beat like that makes him look bad.

Tom Dwan should not be allowed to play poker. The absolute terrified look on his face every time, is just too much for him to handle. His eyes watering, the nervous body language, he's got to go.
I love that no one is even paying attention to Phils whining after he lost. He's upset that she called with A9 off when he shipped on a crazy table with A8 off lol.
I think Alex is the smartest person in the room! I don't know if she is just using calculated math to compel her plays or if she blends in some "gut" feelings along with a careful understanding of the methods her other players use.
@faismasterx she is 100% doing math. She's constantly asking for her opponents stack sizes to calculate pot odds. Plus in one hand she put the other guy on a flush draw and still be, so she at least knew he had a 50/50 chance of winning. She is also using her gut. But it's more like she has spent time studying tells. She has a coach for reading tells. Anyway most people who have played poker for more than a week should be doing both.
@@brutalhonesty5138 You have to play well to get lucky, stupid! A lot of her bets and calls were calculated, especially preflop.

“I don’t think poker is easy, I’m sweating my balls off here!” That’s because you have the biggest balls on the table, Alex! I can’t remember watching a player going on that kind of run in a cash game ever. It’s one of those once in a blue moon type where you need the right mix of players. Fun to watch! The table was entertaining all around with Alex, two poker legends, Mr. Beast mixing it up and Alan the gambler. Hahaha And of course Classic Phil Helmuth highlight! He never lets us down! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 HCL is the biggest winner though. 🔥
You should thank Ludwig. Ryan wanted Mr. Beast to play at Hustler, and Ludwig mentioned he had his number. Ryan later gets a call from Mr. Beast wanting in. Ludwig gets a few of his more well-off streamer buddies who can throw 50 grand or more into the cashier's cage, including xQc (who also does gambling streams). Afterwards, Ryan gets the idea for a "sequel": Everyone who sits must stake a million bucks at least, which was what happened a few months ago. Rampage, Nik Airball were among them. (Mariano's backer, sadly, flaked on him, so he had to sadly tell Ryan he couldn't play.)
it would be a jackpot to get to play in these type of tables, where there is multiple super weak players that have a lot of money and are just throwing away all ins for the sake of it.
Tom Dwan, Phil Helmuth, Alan Keating - all utterly destroyed by Botez. At one point Boten said to Hellmuth "I can't hear you for the sound of all my chips" But its missing from this tream.
Enjoyed the game and Alex seems cool, but it was odd how much she was allowed to take off the table throughout the session… for those who don’t watch much poker this is referred to as “going south” and it’s a big no no in virtually every game. I get this was a special game and it’s their money, I just hope new people watching don’t think they can do the same after winning a big pot in their local casino or home game.
They made a comment that it was pre approved prior to this specific game. Yeah, it’s normally not allowed, but in a private game, a lot more is allowed in terms of behavior.
Dan, most of what I saw was her racking up chips for the purposes of “coloring up” or trading for higher-denomination chips. Of course, if she didn’t have enough space for the chips even after coloring up, they probably gave her a storage area to hold them (as an extension of the table, not technically “off the table”).
Did Durr get all his money from making plays like getting reckless with Q7 for 90,000 against a TAG player like Botez? He looks and plays like he's washed in every new stream I've seen.
Lol, Phil is so absurd, raises all in with A8 then complains about her calling with A9. Such a cry baby, can never lose gracefully. Always has to whine
The sweetest thing about Tom "Durrr" Duan is he doesn't look like a Tom, his nickname Durr doesn't match his character, and he absolutely doesn't look like his last name is Duan.
@@egone61 I agree that she's intelligent, but it would still be extremely difficult, professional poker involves such absurdly deep thinking, and understanding of every situation, I mean most of these pros start when they're like 16 and she's 23 I think

Phil stated that he wanted Botez to call his all in. When she beat him, he cried. 😂
haha yeah and beast said he waited all night to go all in with Q5 o? lol
Phil's a crybaby, he while cry for his bottle all day long.
Poor Phil
Even tho she had him and everyone else piffed pre flop lol
Did Phil just say "I hate poker" lol
Haha,original poker Pros onthe Tablet 😮😂
crazy how much action a weak player gets
It's so funny that Phil is a lifetime poker pro and yet totally unable to deal with variance. He should get into chess!
Its Phil Helmuth
It's because these guys are all rich and not afraid to call on big bets. He should've realized that and changed his strategy up.
@@tylerh1648 This so much. Not a single person at that table had the intention of playing a tight game.

Phil was trying to start one of his insult rants and no one cared and drowned his voice out.
He's so annoying!!!
Love Hellmuth calling out Botez for calling with A9 off holding A8 off 😂😂

Only helmuth berates a player for making the right call. Especially in a game where nobody is likely playing with their own money.
She's sharp. She could transition to poker pro if she were so inclined.
She's got a bankroll now to do more with WPT Global to do so, or do more goodwill games with others for them too.

This game reminds me of the Ocean elevens poker game. Lol
Her winning is worthless now investing in LUNA 😂
pls Botez vs Hellmuth heads up duel.
These pros must love playing with donks like Mr Beast
She's one of my favorite women players
❤
Rumour has it Hellmuth still bitching about botez calling with A9 off
That’s crazy!! 456k is exactly what Mr. Beast gave away in his squid game video 🦑
Real ones know that Ben is the one and only poker queen 👸
Hilarious! I've been saying that for weeks! So funny!
I prefer Shaun Deeb
He a weirdo
She played well but it helped that everyone was donking off money to her
Alex is better at poker cash games then phill lol he can't keep up in today's cash games and will never admit it to himself lol
And she's a cutie
it would be a jackpot to get to play in these type of tables, where there is multiple super weak players that have a lot of money and are just throwing away all ins for the sake of it.
4:02 I thought he was going to throw in the keys to his car for an extra 100k. That would've been hilarious.
Botez slow called Keating's all in...
with Kings!
How do you think you are in with the best hand with A 9 off 😂 I would be in such fear. 😅
She runs hot even when she loses.
This is the most fun poker i have seen 😂 so fun to watch
they are simping!
Where did Alex put her chips ? Are they supposed to stay on the table? .... or did she condense them.? ⚘
Best thing about this is hellmuth talked so much smack about botez and she recently was in a after dark table with him and beat him again lol
Phil is a sore loser😂
Phil thinks he’s the most famous on the table lol

great game alex! don't ever ever apologize for winning!
Mr. beast... lol
This was a joy to watch
Phil was mad at A9 (correctly) calling but not the A3 suited or Q5 offsuit?
I love how Phil Hellmuth put down botez for her hand Ace nine off suite and helmuth has Ace eight off suit
And now comes the downswing...
Im amazed Phil Hellmuth ever wins cos he aways gets emotional and think he deserves to win. He plays like an idiot
A8 all in from Phil... Aginst a bunch of rookies. This guy losing his mind and money
If Vanessa Selbt was playing she'd look more like a dude than most of this field.
Botez shaking Keating’s hand after the first hand is adorable - it’s as though she beat him at chess

Has Dwan aged 25 years in a decade? Homey needs to lay off the booze
Maybe true, but he cashed in already. So it's all good
