This is definitely the most entertaining poker hand of all time. Sammy and Jamie are comedy gold. And so is Doyle’s comments and Antonio egging them on. Antonio was the one who got them to bet dark lol.
I wished this talk would still be allowed in tournaments. If you cannot handle it, dont play it. I dont like Gold, but He did a great Job at his Main Event win.
@@viktorvasilik5477 Gold most certainly was crying to the hilt to try and save some money. Sammy should have shattered him on the river for the rest of his donkey money.
this is what I don't understand, why wouldn't farah think gold could be holding pocket 10's for example? I'm a noob I know; I'd just appreciate the logic behind your statement
@@gxqx797 Because of the dark betting before the flop came out. Jaime was feeling really good and Sammy knew it. So Gold most likely had better than pocket 10s.
You should've got Sammy to react to this hand. And accidentally nod? Sammy flat out tells him he has aces. 5:32 "Sammy you got the aces!?" Sammy - "Yeah"
I have a hard time deciding if this one or the one where Hellmuth runs against the amateur 4 times and loses 3/4 despite starting as an overwhelming favorite with trip 9s against a pair of Kings (and the reaction from DNegs and rest) is the best televised hand of all time.
Yeh that 1 of Ameture vs Phill Helmuth was the best, PH slow rolled him knowing him commited to pot with kings and Helmuth with him having trips. So whole poker Universe Gods came down to punish him big i mean to loose 3/4 on a already Flopped Favourite hands is bonkers in that way. That was the best television moment in poker history.
@@freedomfries6618 Yeah he's completely irrelevant now. The main reason he went broke is because he made a deal with someone/a sponsor that provided half of his main event buy and they had a deal to split the winnings. When he won, he refused to pay the half and was avoiding the person but eventually had to give up the half.
@@HarrisonLovesU The main reason he went broke is that he ran like a god in the main event and gaslighted himself into thinking he could compete with the best in the world. Like why the fuck would you ever sit down at this table? Guy is the only player worse than him and Guy is actually dangerous because he doesn't give a fuck about the money.
I also LOVED the commentary by the greatest poker announcer Gabe Kaplan. Short, insightful, just a few words to help amateurs understand what’s happening. “Jamie’s call is not binding.” “Now everyone knows Jamie has kings.” Kaplan doesn’t chat and chat talking over the important dialogue which is from the players. He doesn’t make lame jokes about his ex or about what a donkey of a poker player he is like Norm Chad. Just perfect for the situation, like a master stand up comedian would do.
there's absolutely no need to throw mud on Norman Chad. he's probably done as much to advance the game in the past 20 years as anyone else on the planet.
@@whitedevil2 What was important for advancing the game of poker? My opinion: 1/ Showing the hole cards on TV broadcasts, 2/ Online poker, 3/ The 2003 WSOP Main Event win of Chris Moneymaker, 4/ The group of poker players with big personalities who played the Big Game in High Stakes Poker like Doyle Brunson, Daniel Negreanu, Phil Laak and Jennifer Tilly, Phil Hellmuth, Gabe Kaplan, etc. Norm Chad doesn't make it in my top 50. I think Chad hurt poker when he was doing his insult comic shtick on Phil Hellmuth all the time. But poeple must like Norm Chad: ESPN stuck with the guy for 20 years. And his commentating, and poker knowledge, have definitely improved over the years.
@@lanceschaina3084 your #3 is what Norman Chad started with his commentary. who did it before him? nobody knows or cares because they were boring. 2003 was the breakout year for poker to reach the masses and it was greatly helped by Norman's entertaining analysis and play-by-play. Moneymaker helped get more people to enter the WSOP events. Chad made more people want to watch poker on TV and thus also in real life. it's not entirely his credit, but his was the voice that kickstarted the poker goldrush. his contribution to the game is akin to what John Madden and Al Michaels did commentating for the NFL. sounds like you just personally don't like him and thus are too biased to view him objectively.
@@whitedevil2 Norm Chad (and Lon) did do a good job on the 2003 WSOP, I'll give you that. It isn't 2003 Norm Chad that bugs me, it's more the 2005+ Norm Chad. Who did it before him? Again, I think of Gabe Kaplan, how incredible he was. Check out the 1997 WSOP. There's a magic moment when Gabe is doing the poker announcing, a very young Phil Hellmuth on his own joins him, and the two of them are doing commentary together. THEN, after a tough hand, Stu Ungar actually gets up from the final table, joins Phil Hellmuth and Gabe Kaplan at the mic, and they all talk about the previous hand. It's a magic moment that only happens because the pros like and respect Kaplan. But, again, I agree: most viewers like Norm Chad, I personally don't like his style of poker commentary, if I got to know him I don't think I would like him as a person, and that makes me pretty biased. You got that right as well.
People will never understand that this one hand is the strangest and most hilarious hand of poker that has ever been shown on tv. This one hand here will be forever the most funniest hand to be seen anywhere. It's classic...
Agreed. This is my number one favourite poker hand of all-time. Whatever you want to say about Jamie Gold, he helped create some of pokers all-time most memorable and entertaining hands.
That's because the chances of a bigger, luckier, idiot than Jamie Gold are so astronomical. And then it has to make tv. Nah, you'd have better odds of flopping 3 Royal flushes at a WSOP Final table
@@Orppoker An idiot who delivered the most commanding performance in the history of the WSOP and absolutely crushed 8,000 players for 7 days straight It was all just run good, right? lol
@@nicolaizubi2928Jamie isn't a pro lol. If you think he is, you clearly aren't a pro. He had a god like run in the WSOP and all of the pros milked him for all he was worth.
Jamie: You've got the aces! Sammy: Yeah *Smiles* Jamie: Sammy! Sammy: Well-- Jamie: Really?! Sammy: No, it's not that. It's that you don't have a hand. I'm betting against you. It's like-- Jamie: Wait wait wait, you're doing all this with the aces to me?? Sammy: Well, I have a hand. Jamie: Sammy! Sammy: You told me you have a hand. I have a hand. Jamie: You have the aces? Sammy: I have a hand. Jamie: Becuase I'm in deep, I'm in deep, I'm in deep-- if you have aces I'm in deep shit. I'm in so much trouble if you have aces.
Yet he still handed Farha chips like a fool, The way Sammy said he had the aces there was no hesitation next to no hollywood going on was very reactive. That should have been the tell of tells to get out.
Everyone knew Gold had Kings the second he stood up and went on about "You have Aces???" Look at the other people at the table, they're all glancing at each other smirking.
sammy is the most entertaining player , he is what i always thought poker was . smoking on the table , always suited up , and trash talking with a funny ascent and looks like that guy who will tak all your chips lol . when ou play him you feel like you are playing poker in an underground with some type of italian style of mafia lol
Coolest look in poker ever. Fake cig too? Thats just AWESOME. Sammy had balls too. Ive seen a lot of these episodes, and more than a few of the players only seemed to play premium hands. Sammy mixed it up. My favorite poker player of all time.
The fact that Jamie did not even know that he could simply have a look at the flop After he got reraised to 90k and then decide what to do Next, makes him the biggest fish in HSP
He played it terribly except the river. Saved himself a lot of money talking Sammy to check. And Sammy got talked out of betting the river, he left $200k behind him but perhaps figured Jamie couldn't call with a worse hand though I think he would've
It was a dark check by Jamie, followed by a dark bet, a dark raise and a dark re-raise. Jamie cannot say "show the flop" before deciding on the 90k. According to the rules, of course. But etiquette, gentlemen's agreement, honor, code... you understand what these things mean?
I think the funniest Doyle line, was when he was talking during the farha Antonius hand, somebody was saying something and then Doyle said what are you sleeping with him? Shit had me dying
Sammy with the classic old school player. "don't tap the glass too hard" right at the end. He wanted Jamie coming back with the rest of his millions of new friends who didn't come with him that day.
@@CHRISG612 Your missing the point mate. A lot of these old school live cash guys were at their core hustlers. They had to be to make a living. Jamie Gold, a complete fish tournament player, who was utterly convinced that he was a much better player than he actually was, had just won 12 million dollars, he was only sitting at the table with a small fraction of that money. This hand occurred within the first few minutes of him joining that type of high roller regs cash game for the very first time, which was essentially the Bobby's room regulars at the time with tv cameras on them. The likes of Sammy, Doyle, Chip Reese etc have actually publicly stated that in the past the approach with the uber wealthy fish that would occasionally find their way to those games was not to bust people immediately, but to slow bleed them so they would keep coming back to the games with more money time after time rather than immediately being scared away. Hence the old school expression, don't tap the glass too hard, you'll scare away the fish!
Jamie: You have the aces. Sammy: Yeah. Sammy: (realizing that he just f'd up): No, it's not that, I just don't believe you have a hand. Jamie: (Realizes what's going on, says what's going on, but calls, and continues to call all the what until he's all in, only to blame Sammy for playing him all along.) WTF?
I honestly think he was told by Johnny Chan, his coach for the main event, to never fold Kings, and taking that literally. If he was thinking for himself he would have come to the right conclusion in the hand, I think.
Andrew is right. I have played against Jaime another player from those games in Vegas Caesar's Palace and the other dude from that game said the same thing. Jaime had a lot of pull in those games
This one is funny, but the Farha (FD and 2 overs) vs Antonius (i have a pair, top pair) one where they get it all-in in a millisec after the flop comes down is my favorite of all time.
Agree. I think Sammy felt Jamie wasn't very strong preflop during the dark betting but after the turn it was clear Jamie had something decent. Top pair qualifies as something decent and Jamie is the kind of talker who might refer to top pair good kicker as a "monster" when it serves some rhetorical purpose. When the ten pairs a not insignificant portion of the range Sammy had assigned Jamie's hand now beats Sammy's AA. Of course Sammy still should have bet but I've made far dumber plays under the influence of table talk so now I don't participate at all. That Sammy got confused by the table talk and then scared by the river is a far more plausible explanation to me than he knew he had Jamie beat and checked behind because he felt bad or something. That makes no sense to me. He's Sammy Farha not Guy LaLiberte.
I used to play in a regular game that had brothers playing and a lot of the hands would be just like this. It was ridiculous. Some nights we would have to quit early because they wouldn't shut up about one stupid hand.
This was a real "you can kill your friend for $10 million; you have 15 seconds to make your decision" moment. We got to see that Sammy is fundamentally a decent man.
From the sounds of it they were probably friends of some type outside of the poker table, so combined that with all the whining Jamie was doing, Samy figured $400k pot was enough...how I see it anyway
I can answer your question. After winning the WSOP Jamie's new found fame and money gave him access to monster private games with a soft field, most notably Molly's game. Jamie was considered a VIP in these games because of his new found fame, money, and more importantly he was a losing player. Sammy didn't want to hurt and offend Jamie because he didn't want to lose the action he got from Jamie personally and the action he got from Jamie's access to private games. Jamie was actually a very bad cash game player, and he was fleeced by the high stakes community.
Those two they were partnered during this game they been playing "CHECK CHECK CHECK CHECK ALL NIGHT" (line from the Rounders) they were like "i thought we were friends" etc. just check the whole session.
Doyle's one liners will go down in the hall of fame lol and Antonio is the mistro at needling/ egging people on 🤣 win or lose...each person got their money's worth that session just from being front row seat to that entertainment 😂😂😂
Doyle making all those slick comments. Farha puts him right in his place with “who the hell wants to play with Doyle” which everyone knows the answer is no one lol.
I saw this hand when it originally aired. I have never blind check raised since. However, I was about to leave a table pretty soon after running it over. And the table knew it. So I told this one player that if he raises pre flop, I would shove all in the next hand. (I wasn’t sure I would). But, as it turned out I was dealt Pocket Kings. He raised with QQ. I shoved all in over his raise, and he insta called. My Kings held up. And I crushed his soul as I had him covered as he was up quite a bit. I took my chips and left. He kept saying, I can’t believe you had Kings there as I walked away.
So why did Sammy not bet on the river? the answer might surprise you - He really wanted to get into Gold's private Poker games, and by doing this, and making sure to tell Gold 'you owe me' - he got himself the ticket...
Love this hand...Best of all time in my book. Love Sammy and he did a huge solid at the end with the check. Jamie with his misdirection is fun to watch. Its only money I guess...lol
@@kcc1762Right. Seriously, anyone who thinks that Sammy was scared of a set is a moron. Anyone watching this hand knew it was clear as day that Jamie had Kings. The commenters even said the WHOLE table knew what they both had. People are idiots.
Was playing a 1/3 NL this week where I had a guy check raise me ($85) blind pre-flop with ace king suited and I had pocket aces. I blind raised him all-in for around $250. He thought I was an idiot and tanked for 30-45 seconds and called. He was the aggressive, shit-talking shark of the table and I honestly can’t describe the feeling of turning those cards after the river 😂😂 He got most of it back from me before I left tho lmao
We both went all in blind. Neither of us knew what we had. We both just happened to have good hands when we went all in blind. That’s why I said the feeling of turning the cards was crazy. Kind of hard to believe without a recording.
I remember watching this live on TV about 15 years ago. Laughing my ass off. I couldn't believe Sammy didn't shove the river. I'm guessing he decided to be nice to the biggest fish at the table aside from Guy Laliberte.
At 4:00 Sammy and probably the rest of the table knows what both of them have... But by 5:30 everybody knows both of their hands, including Jamie... and Jamie's soul is leaving his body. LOL
Yeah, that Doyle line is the best. "If my daddy knew I was losing in this game he'd come out of the grave and beat the heck out of me."

This hand occurred within the first few minutes of him joining that type of high roller regs cash game for the very first time, which was essentially the Bobby's room regulars at the time with tv cameras on them. The likes of Sammy, Doyle, Chip Reese etc have actually publicly stated that in the past the approach with the uber wealthy fish that would occasionally find their way to those games was not to bust people immediately, but to slow bleed them so they would keep coming back to the games with more money time after time rather than immediately being scared away. Hence the old school expression, don't tap the glass too hard, you'll scare away the fish!
@@zimzimma5688 I understand keeping the fish happy but that didn't occur here. Don't be naive
What did Doyle comment? I couldn't quite understand. Thanks!
If my Daddy knew if I was a loser in this game he would come out of the grave and beat my azz. Doyle is so funny.
Jamie: You have the aces.
Sammy: Yeah.
Sammy: (realizing that he just f'd up): No, it's not that, I just don't believe you have a hand.
Jamie: (Realizes what's going on, says what's going on, but calls, and continues to call all the what until he's all in, only to blame Sammy for playing him all along.) WTF?
@Damien Montero Yes! So kindly permit me to ask again: WTF?
I honestly think he was told by Johnny Chan, his coach for the main event, to never fold Kings, and taking that literally. If he was thinking for himself he would have come to the right conclusion in the hand, I think.
@@Johann757 What an interesting insight! I never knew. Thank you for sharing!
Sammy regrets he didn't bet the river.
Yes, I'm sure Sammy regrets showing mercy. Oh wait, no that doesn't make any sense given the time he took to consider the circumstances.
If you were to ask Sammy today, if he regrets not betting the river. I wonder what would he say?
Scott is wrong, Sammy was not sure what JG had. Sammy was down a lot at this moment.
yeah Sammy is obviously confused by Jamies talk and i believe he was serious when he said "if you got a 10 you got me". Haha crazy hand none the less!
Incorrect. You are ignorant on the Hollywood home games and how much say Jamie Gold used to have on who got to play.
@@andrewdinns1746 where is ur proof
Andrew is right. I have played against Jaime another player from those games in Vegas Caesar's Palace and the other dude from that game said the same thing. Jaime had a lot of pull in those games
This one is funny, but the Farha (FD and 2 overs) vs Antonius (i have a pair, top pair) one where they get it all-in in a millisec after the flop comes down is my favorite of all time.
And honestly I think a small percentage of Sammy was worried Jamie had a ten.
Yep, that is likely why Sammy didn't bet.
Agree. I think Sammy felt Jamie wasn't very strong preflop during the dark betting but after the turn it was clear Jamie had something decent. Top pair qualifies as something decent and Jamie is the kind of talker who might refer to top pair good kicker as a "monster" when it serves some rhetorical purpose. When the ten pairs a not insignificant portion of the range Sammy had assigned Jamie's hand now beats Sammy's AA.
Of course Sammy still should have bet but I've made far dumber plays under the influence of table talk so now I don't participate at all. That Sammy got confused by the table talk and then scared by the river is a far more plausible explanation to me than he knew he had Jamie beat and checked behind because he felt bad or something. That makes no sense to me. He's Sammy Farha not Guy LaLiberte.
And honestly, what the fuck is this sentence you wrote?
Gold such a clown lol Jesus
RIP Doyale Brunson one of the greatest of all time
This hand is absolutely hilarious
Back when it was fun watching guys with personalities play high level poker !
I used to play in a regular game that had brothers playing and a lot of the hands would be just like this. It was ridiculous. Some nights we would have to quit early because they wouldn't shut up about one stupid hand.
U were playing for 5 dollars
@@SlimPickens1940 5 cents
This was a real "you can kill your friend for $10 million; you have 15 seconds to make your decision" moment. We got to see that Sammy is fundamentally a decent man.
What is dark or blind check raise?
Legendary Hand. I watch it at least once a year LUL
5:33 Sammy was extremely honest. Nice hand!
Jamie was the real genius in this hand. He somehow managed to avoid going broke with KK.
Sammy sure had sympathy.
guy would’ve broken down crying if he made him shove 😂😂😂
@@mattnick23 Would've been great to see it happen. Paramedics called immediately to attend to Gold laying on the floor!
Surprised I've never seen this hand before..quality :D
I’m watching this just because Scott is my hero
Everyone makes mistakes, but up to this day I do not understand what made Sammy Check the river After all this
From the sounds of it they were probably friends of some type outside of the poker table, so combined that with all the whining Jamie was doing, Samy figured $400k pot was enough...how I see it anyway
@@viktorvasilik5477 yeah... i dunno if he was scared of the ten. dont think so but...
@@viktorvasilik5477 WRONG. Jamie Gold speech play is master class and it is Sammy spooked. Even Gabe Kaplan said the same exact thing after.
Because sammy likes him
I can answer your question. After winning the WSOP Jamie's new found fame and money gave him access to monster private games with a soft field, most notably Molly's game. Jamie was considered a VIP in these games because of his new found fame, money, and more importantly he was a losing player. Sammy didn't want to hurt and offend Jamie because he didn't want to lose the action he got from Jamie personally and the action he got from Jamie's access to private games. Jamie was actually a very bad cash game player, and he was fleeced by the high stakes community.
Antonio is my favorite player ever lol under rated funny and an amazing player.
Those two they were partnered during this game they been playing "CHECK CHECK CHECK CHECK ALL NIGHT" (line from the Rounders) they were like "i thought we were friends" etc. just check the whole session.
More content like this. I'm still laughing.
Thomas over here thinking this kind of Content can be produced.
What is Doyle saying at 7:25 ? something about his dad with beat the heck out of him?
If his dad knew he was loosing in this poker game he would come out of the grave to beat the heck out of him
Yes. Doyle had a very abusive father.
5:30 this was the moment jamie gold went from invincible lets go all in right now to wait wait lets just check it down.
Doyle's one liners will go down in the hall of fame lol and Antonio is the mistro at needling/ egging people on 🤣 win or lose...each person got their money's worth that session just from being front row seat to that entertainment 😂😂😂
Couldn't even understand what the hell the geezerface was saying. And it wasn't funny. But that's only if we're being honest.
Doyle making all those slick comments. Farha puts him right in his place with “who the hell wants to play with Doyle” which everyone knows the answer is no one lol.
What was Doyle’s quote ?
Sammy really had the fish on the line and then set him free. That was actually a very nice deed that he didn’t take the rest of Jamie Gold’s chips.
I saw this episode when it originally aired, and never laughed so hard watching poker! Still very funny!!
Greatest poker hand of all time 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
This is what gambling addiction looks like.
The thought they both have aces would of definitely happened 😂
til this day the dealer is still waiting for his tip from Jamie Gold
3:15 he threw a chip at the dealer right after that statement
A masked Jew joke -- I love it.
@@hughjainis8302 problem is this "joke" doesn't make any sense
Sammy is my favorite poker player ever. Such a gentleman.
I saw this hand when it originally aired. I have never blind check raised since. However, I was about to leave a table pretty soon after running it over. And the table knew it. So I told this one player that if he raises pre flop, I would shove all in the next hand. (I wasn’t sure I would). But, as it turned out I was dealt Pocket Kings. He raised with QQ. I shoved all in over his raise, and he insta called. My Kings held up. And I crushed his soul as I had him covered as he was up quite a bit. I took my chips and left. He kept saying, I can’t believe you had Kings there as I walked away.
Later when Jamie left the table Doyle asked Sammy if he was sleeping with Jamie xD. RIP Doyle, you had the best lines.
The fact that all that happened and the board was ten high rainbow is insane.
Not in my house!!best line
Sammy is a class act to check the river here.
I don't think it was mercy. Mercy makes no sense.
Best moment of Doyle was 6th season of HSP when impersonating Ivey
I think it was when Gabe said in the middle of a hand that we were seeing a big yellow manatee floating by.
I also liked the Eli elezra routine about the Chabot dinner. But that has nothing to do with Doyle.
What was that Doyle line that Scott said he now uses all the time? Something about the hand being slow (hard to hear the whole thing)
AHA -- from another comment:
"If my Daddy knew I was losing in THIS game he would come out of the grave and beat my azz."
So why did Sammy not bet on the river? the answer might surprise you -
He really wanted to get into Gold's private Poker games, and by doing this, and making sure to tell Gold 'you owe me' - he got himself the ticket...
LOL that very first line from Doyle
It was so funny, I couldn't even hear the geezer talk or remember what he said! (neither can he)
Jamie's mother wasn't shrieking over this hand
Love this hand...Best of all time in my book. Love Sammy and he did a huge solid at the end with the check. Jamie with his misdirection is fun to watch. Its only money I guess...lol
If you asked sammy today I guarantee be would say he should have bet it.
He got scared of the set
@@keithkelso9872 ummm....no.
@@kcc1762Right. Seriously, anyone who thinks that Sammy was scared of a set is a moron. Anyone watching this hand knew it was clear as day that Jamie had Kings. The commenters even said the WHOLE table knew what they both had. People are idiots.
Jamie thinks he has the winner the whole time and when Sammie turns over the aces Jamie says “ I know you have the aces, enough!”. What a mooron
Jamie: “I check…”
Sammy: 😁
at sandia about 20 years ago, i had AA, vs KK vs QQ at 200 no limit table, we each had around 350, Q on flop, KK with last action almost got out
People underestimate that antonio drove the action on this whole hand. If the magician wasn't at the table, none of this ever happens.
That does appear to be the case.
Antonio is such a shit stirrer 😂
Was playing a 1/3 NL this week where I had a guy check raise me ($85) blind pre-flop with ace king suited and I had pocket aces. I blind raised him all-in for around $250. He thought I was an idiot and tanked for 30-45 seconds and called. He was the aggressive, shit-talking shark of the table and I honestly can’t describe the feeling of turning those cards after the river 😂😂
He got most of it back from me before I left tho lmao
What do you mean you two were blind pre-flop if you both knew what you had?
@@HankTheTank23 because we ran out the cards
How did you raise in the blind when you knew you had aces?
Do you not know what being in the blind means.?
We both went all in blind. Neither of us knew what we had. We both just happened to have good hands when we went all in blind. That’s why I said the feeling of turning the cards was crazy. Kind of hard to believe without a recording.
@@Theflavuhry I believe you
Yes, of course!
6:44 - 6:49 I will never not laugh at this moment
I re-wound that shit for sure.
i had AA vs KK on first hand of a tourney at motor city...of course we went all in and a K showed up... but i rebought and placed 6th in the end...lol
Motor shitty.
Jamie is the Bob Saget of poker
This is called playing the player. Jamie trying to minimize risk, Sammie wanting to create enough doubt that Jamie won't fold.
I remember watching this live on TV about 15 years ago. Laughing my ass off. I couldn't believe Sammy didn't shove the river. I'm guessing he decided to be nice to the biggest fish at the table aside from Guy Laliberte.
I seriously am sad there will never be a new Doyle Brunson video...
At 4:00 Sammy and probably the rest of the table knows what both of them have... But by 5:30 everybody knows both of their hands, including Jamie... and Jamie's soul is leaving his body. LOL
