Idk what Tran is doing making that call though? The flop was bet, then the turn and then it was followed through on the river 🤷🏽♂️ it completely stinks of A❤️ K! … 90% of the time an 8 is no good there with four ❤️s on the board.
I think this was the same series where Kenny called someone down with J high in the H.O.R.S.E. tournament. Jack high is my sickest call as well, and I have lost money chasing reads attempting to beat that call with 10 high. That was awhile ago... Going with your gut factors in a lot less in poker when everyone just factors ranges/plays as a solver.
When the main was happening and I saw him I recognized him instantly. Dude is a legend. Think he place 16th? Still sick run from him glad to see him back
Great call. When you think about it his range is super polarized on the river as I don't think an amateur like that is competent enough to be bet/folding on the river with a Q high or K high flush (the big sizing is telling too and they're deep in the main event so the stakes are high) and he's never betting a set (that turned into a boat on the river) on that turn. So it's either an A high flush or air almost always.
Kenny said in an interview that he knew Winston didn't have a heart because he never checked to see if he had one and bet quickly. Kenny knew he had a red card so he had to check. Winston never gave him an impression he had a red card.
2007 Main event was definitely a colorful event comparing to other main events. I would love to see an interview with scotty nguyen about bubbling the final table after being cheepleader.
It was awesome when Kenny Tran told him to stop praying at the table, how stupid can you be asking god to show his glory at a poker table, i guess he considers himself a Christian ambassador for poker ,no matter how you justify it its fucking gambling and it ruins so many people's lives including top professionals, but Jerry is such a good person he is deserving of God's help to win all that money from people, i dont care if he was charitable hes a fucking moron and doesn't belong anywhere near a poker table, hes so lucky that 2007 was the year of complete morons playing poker and basically gsve him chips the either tournament,
Yang actually played a lot better than most people realize. Yang kinda bossed that final table, he made some really good plays and was fearless. He played to win.
@@JohnSmith-su3ze just because he wins the pots doesn’t mean he played it well. Even the hand he knocked Helm out with. He calls in like 4 seconds like top pair is the nuts on that board. Then someone else folds QQ or KK at the FT against him. He got insanely lucky. He’s only won $31,000 since 2007 and hasn’t made a FT in almost 15 years.
yang played in the 08 event and was out day one luck was on his side after helm busted out of this final table gift wrapped handed to him on a silver platter eventually ended up squandering his winnings
Weird fact he opened a really nice shushi restaurant in my home town Merced CA called pocket eights after he won, has a bunch pictures on the walls to :)
If he used any "live reads" you can tell how strong Yang was and he had a good hand ! !st mistake is playing 58 out of the SB but why punt away your tournament life like that
Hand 4: the mistake Winston makes is being too aggressive and yet too passive at the same time. The immediate bets, along with the increased sizing screams bluff, not made hand. Throw in the announcing of the bets and it all seems desperate, the actions of someone trying to bully rather than get paid for the winner.
lets put Jerry Yang aside and remember that Hilm basically donked off all his chips to the worst players at the final table...this is way worse than Jerry Yang winning the main lol
I remember binge watching the old WSOP on youtube when I was in University. Who would of thought I would have to pay to watch these videos again. What a world
Tbh that Kenny Tran hand was a sick soul read and the like MAYBE two times I've done that kind of shit in my life I felt like I just got shot and slowly revealed my bullet proof vest.
@@PokerGO I think kenny tran or hevad khan could be an intresting choise to interview. Scotty nguyen would probably be the best guest for that analysis!
Yeah you're right maybe im being biased cause this was my first year watching wsop but kenny tran, Scotty Nguyen, Havad khan , jerry yang , Phillip hilm anyone that ran deep or final tabled to get some insight on how it went down.
If you could get Kenny Tran that would be incredible. He was on poker after dark cash game also. You could talk about both! And he was a very very good cash game player back then not sure what hes doing now.
Kenny Tran! I saw him make a sick call at commerce casino cash game live! He called a 100k bet on the river with J9. Board was AKJ52 , straight and flush were there...3rd pair with 9 kicker it was good old man just folded
Back when Poker was still gambling and the modern day gold rush. The quality of play can't hold a candle to what we see today, but as a fan and spectator the game was so much better back in the day.

that was an insane call that tran made!!!! 4 hearts and a pair on the board, he calls $750,000.00........only in a tourney will you see a play like that.................all 5 hands in this video were outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wau what a call with the 88, it's actually decent call...PFR usually over cbets Ax, and doesn't go for 2 street value with Qx, so he is saying he has a 7x, and 88 with the suits the guy has blocks all 87s, A7s is blocked by the board, same with 97s, which leaves reasonable open range with 76s...
@@XaviRonaldo0 yeah i hear that but about 3 hands before that he was the big time chip leader and best player at the table so he was due for a much bigger win
I would honestly pay money to know exactly what went through Trans head throughout that entire hand and how he made that call. I mean I understand he had Top-Top so it's not like he had air, but you got basically an amateur betting hard on every street with 4 hearts on the board. I mean at the very least that's gotta be hard to not at the very least put him on an over pair. Crazy call. Also on a side note, sick call by Rahme as well haha.
Scotty Nguyen, he blew it at the end. He stacked off with top pair against Hilm's set. Had he not make that mistake, he would've had the best chance of winning the main event. Scotty let Hilm get to Scotty's head. Hilm on the other hand, after knocking Nguyen out, Hilm thought he was unbeatable that despite coming into the final table with humongous chip lead, he got knocked out 9th place. LOL

The Kenny Tran hand is one of the best calls I’ve ever seen in poker in that stressful of a situation and so much at stake.
"I'm a genius!" And Kenny Tran is back. A super deep run in the Main in 2022. Only 20 players left!
When the main was happening and I saw him I recognized him instantly. Dude is a legend. Think he place 16th? Still sick run from him glad to see him back
Who Cares. Jerry Yang disappeared off the planet.
Glad he didn't win in 2022.
I'm sure the guy who Kenny Tran called had to re-evaluate life for a couple years after that hand. One of the sickest soul reads ever.
One of my favorite TV poker hands ever
great call but sadly he tried it again later and got busted
Haha you're a legend
Great call. When you think about it his range is super polarized on the river as I don't think an amateur like that is competent enough to be bet/folding on the river with a Q high or K high flush (the big sizing is telling too and they're deep in the main event so the stakes are high) and he's never betting a set (that turned into a boat on the river) on that turn.

I’ve played a few tournaments with Raymond Rahme, a pure gentleman and makes those kinda reads and plays pretty often.
Forgot about that guy Hilm’s epic meltdown. Final table chip leader to 9th place. Still won close to a million, but ouch
58s out of position against the new chip leader? oh man what simpler times you saw in poker
He was steaming for sure

I remember this final table very well because of Phillip Hilm -- came in as the chipleader and finished 9th by repeatedly committing ICM suicide.
"I'm a genius!" Lmaooo
Sick call by Rahme
2006 n 2007 my favorite years for wsop
Hilm with an icm punt for the decades, cheap leading the final table to out in 9th has to suuuuck
His total career earnings are like 670k of which ~525k are of this tournament..
Chance of a lifetime wasted indeed loool
He was shocked when Yang called. You can see it in his face. He f'd up REAL bad.
