I had a baby 1 month ago, and these WSOP ME videos have gotten me through the night shift. So nostalgic, legendary commentary, amazing characters. Thanks so much Poker Go!!!
I know it sounds dramatic but I can't explain how much better poker was then.... poker still had that "magical element" to it untill charts and solvers and GTO came along. Now it's just robots with hoodies, earbuds and 0 personality
That Jack Ury hand was beautiful! Young guy was begging the old timer for a call with 2nd Nut... Jack beautifully slow rolled him. Those old dudes love slow rolling... that was their etiquette
For those curious, Frankie Gay didn't make the money, but there were several other players from the Valdosta home game also "playing for Pruitt." One of them, Allen Kennedy, ended up cashing in this ME for about $30K.
27:45 Mark Terry setting his entry on fire, double paired board with a bet and re-raise before he has to act and pushes all his chips in on a flush there.
27:45 Where do these guys come from? I had to rewind it, 8 8 J J Q 3 diamonds... a guy with the flush called a bet and reraise for all his chips... 3 guys put in money after the flop.... One has an 8 or jack in a pot that didn't have much action preflop
When Raymer asked Alexander if he could go back and be in any movie he say Network and Raymer acts shocked and says "I would have thought a comedy" Network is a comedy. Alexander was kind enough not to expose his oblivious comment. Classy move.
30:00 they make a big deal about Matusow bluffing a Q-2 on a 2 4 6 J 3 board... Watching this in 2009 I thought that was odd... Daniel knows Mike will just call QQ, KK, and AA to trap... especially if he knows the other player in the hand is very skilled...
Not to mention Raymer turns the nuts with J8, board pairs on river, he bets 25k, the Donkey called 25,000 with AQ high, and everyone thinks he is a great player
So great!!! Especially since that guy was talking to Jack like a kid trying to entice a call... lol, Jack said "you're in trouble after he seen the 7-6... the guy have laughed like Jack was kidding" 10 seconds later Jack had the hand! Only thing better is if That guy had a healthy stack and Jack had him covered.
Anyone here love seeing Raymer get sucked out on? I know I sure do, went off with Q10, could have been drawing stone dead, then his laughing cause guy is drawing dead to 9 or runner runner straight, then Raymer made 2 pair on river lol
1:31:53 seeing that man has 1 bracelet brings back memories... unfortunately I got heads-up down 300,000 - 900,000... got it to 600k-600k then went card dead... caught a couple 2 pairs vs higher 2 pair hands, and was sucked out on the final hand.
Not gonna lie, when that punk was messing with Phil then PH said “I think you’re gonna double me up for no reason” was quite cold because he was right. Then when the flop came and the guy snap called PH all-in and stared giving it to Phil, it felt cold when he hit the flush. Hahahaha
During that time for us young semi-pros the common saying was "don't be intimidated by pros or anybody" So funny when you watch the young guys during this era they bring up "not being intimidated, I'm confident in my skills etc" but a guy like Sprengers A. Trying to match wits with Hellmuth and B. Actively trying to get involved in pots with him is just Young, Dumb, and full of plum... its like pulling out your guitar in front of Keith Richards and thinking you are cooler... thinking you are going to outplay and outwit him... They are wild west gunslingers, you are a dime a dozen to those guys... they love the challenge.
Seinfeld wasn't the least bit funny, Alexander is the luckiest guy in Hollywood, like Kevin James, not the least bit funny and multi millionaires, the only reason Kevin is in movies with Sandler is because Farley died, this is a fact

Watching poker back then made you want to play, watching it now makes you think what’s the actual point in trying ?
All the best to you and your kid! 😊
The old guy slow-rolling Renodoc with the overfull vs. underfull remains my favorite part of this broadcast.
one of the funniest things i've seen
That Jack Ury hand was beautiful! Young guy was begging the old timer for a call with 2nd Nut... Jack beautifully slow rolled him. Those old dudes love slow rolling... that was their etiquette
What was that KK fold 😆🤯
Amazing... I thought the QQ fold against Yang or whatever he's called was bad enough...KK !!!
He only plays pocket quads.
wow unreal on the kk fold
he only plays pocket QUADS
You’d be surprised how many dope nits you find at the main event 😂😂😂
17:27 might be my favourite hand of all time
You're in trouble. 🤣
Thank you Cpl. Pruitt Rainey for your service and may you rest in peace.

Outrageously bad call.
Jack flopping a bigger boat made me smile! Gotta love it!
The best slowroll ever.
1:43:55 Phil is impressive... then his next 12 years stats are almost HOF status as well... especially vs the fields and players.

6:28 misregs gonna misreg

It is at most a very dark comedy and a very dark drama.
Gotta love Todd Brunson... He just rolls to his own drum. He doesn't hum up to being Doyle's son.
Phil Ivey receiving a massage whilst casually winning a pot. Maybe the chillest dude in the land.
17:22 bro was trying to talk the old geezer into calling because he thought he had the nuts.. great gramps with the reverse uno card 😂😂😂😂
24:39 Were Gavin Smith and Todd Brunson in a relationship? Or did they get outed?
Jason Alexander seems like a nice guy to hang out with.
11:04 Have to wonder if his "broke even" involved Full Tilt player funds
Can we get a more recent world Series final Table ???.
30:00 they make a big deal about Matusow bluffing a Q-2 on a 2 4 6 J 3 board... Watching this in 2009 I thought that was odd... Daniel knows Mike will just call QQ, KK, and AA to trap... especially if he knows the other player in the hand is very skilled...
This got me through the holidays. Ty Pokergo.
2:06:40 "sore ankle really restricted my Sicilian defense" -- you weren't playing black, Norm. You were playing the English opening.
Who names their kid Pruitt?
that K high flush call on the JJ88 board with a bet and a raise in front of him on the river was something else
hey i might have missed it but why dont you guys premier these episodes live when you upload them? get the chat going with the old skool
25:46
Ferguson played the most optimal back in the day
The old Seinfeld stuff is still hilarious.
1:23.57 future main event champ
Not to mention Raymer turns the nuts with J8, board pairs on river, he bets 25k, the Donkey called 25,000 with AQ high, and everyone thinks he is a great player
Serious I wanted to see Ivey and Hellmuth and Dwan was fullin my screen the whole time😵💫
Chris Ferguson, totally misunderstood fella… people respected him back then!
It woulda been epic if George Costanza won the main event
More like Art Vandelay.
1:31:32 what a fun crazy hand, why you play the game
If Hellmuth would just zip it he could really crush it.
Should let him know that champ
@@truth_serumm no thx. I don't think I'll take being berated very well.
Thanks pokergo..😊
still the most epic slow roll ever!!!!
Jack Ury the Legend. Slow rolled that loser. RIP
So great!!! Especially since that guy was talking to Jack like a kid trying to entice a call... lol, Jack said "you're in trouble after he seen the 7-6... the guy have laughed like Jack was kidding" 10 seconds later Jack had the hand! Only thing better is if That guy had a healthy stack and Jack had him covered.
17:36 URY 💪
Norm's Q&A with Lederer during the chess match was still harder hitting than Matt Parvis' Lederer Files interview. (OH!)
17:32 What a man ha ha ha
How hot can Raymer run
58:47 first look at Tamayo. Future Main Event winner this year, 2024…oh wait, I mean his computer won the Main Event in 2024
Lol call with a flush on a double paired board with 2 other opponents wtf
Anyone here love seeing Raymer get sucked out on? I know I sure do, went off with Q10, could have been drawing stone dead, then his laughing cause guy is drawing dead to 9 or runner runner straight, then Raymer made 2 pair on river lol
Jamie Gold is the king.
Didn't know who the VP was. Now we all wish we didn't know who he was.
1:31:53 seeing that man has 1 bracelet brings back memories... unfortunately I got heads-up down 300,000 - 900,000... got it to 600k-600k then went card dead... caught a couple 2 pairs vs higher 2 pair hands, and was sucked out on the final hand.
Would have been so funny if Hellmuth busted on his first hand :D
Nobody reconized the seinfeld george "was that wrong?"
THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR TRYING TO BULLY THE ELDERLY!!!! WAY TO GO JACK
Does Greg Raymer just sun run every hand?!?!
1:20:13
Grover Cleveland
Brad would be riffing even if he was sitting in an empty room.
I’m from the future - Let’s go Eastgate!

Not gonna lie, when that punk was messing with Phil then PH said “I think you’re gonna double me up for no reason” was quite cold because he was right. Then when the flop came and the guy snap called PH all-in and stared giving it to Phil, it felt cold when he hit the flush. Hahahaha
Lon and the Walrus nugget.

Super edgy take 😂
I love how Tomko forgets bidens name when asked who the vice prez is. If only we all could forget that mans name. And existence.
The things I don't miss with the old coverage are these puff pieces. Nobody cares.
Frankie gay
Don't worry about the 55th POTUS, 45 was bad enough.
Folding Pocket Kings Pre-Flop is a ROOKIE MISTAKE... You have to at LEAST see the flop...SMH!!!!
