Probably the best poker documentary. Pure atmosphere.
Most nostalgic poker documentary ever.
this is filmed in 1998 but by the clothing worn and the old casino decor it looks like 1988.
A lot more interesting than the current generation of online nerds.
The current generation is easy money though
TBH these guys were a lot more intelligent but this generation is just a lot more arrogant and jaded. These guys were humble.
you can smell the passion for the game in this mini documentary. awesome.
Smells like poo poo
Scotty Nguyen is a legend.
When he was drunk and talking shit in the $50K Horse Event was classic Classic Shotty. So good, so funny.. "where da fuc da cocktail man! Do do do, whatta gotta do for a cocktail man?!" You should read the comment section, all the snowflakes thinking he is out of line
Watched this on channel 4, in 2000 high on mushrooms. Marty Wilson had us in hysterics.
Channel 4? NBC, ABC,CBS OR FOX....channel numbers differ in every market fyi..
@@filipmurzea9211 channel 4 is a major British channel
@@filipmurzea9211 NBC
@@filipmurzea9211 That's the most 1 IQ comment I've ever seen. There's a world outside the US, you complete tool
Loved watching the Devilfish back in the day. What an absolute character!!
He still is lol
@@markemery6104 He passed away in 2015. Dude sure was one of a kind though. Rest in peace.
Scotty Nguyen, one of the first n most memorable poker pros I'd learned of back in the day. I remember years ago my wife and her mother went to Vegas, and one night she called asking "do u know who Scotty Nguyen is? He was at the bar" lol. I just started laughing. Ole Scotty
scotty too hottie, babyyyyy
Hahahahahaha the guy who played blackjack to get ticket money at the beginning
That dude that was stealing caution cones to get in though....
coneman legend;)(; get bizzy he loves all the game.Totel self winner in The Swansters book.
mad marty wilson.hes good bloke fighting cancer atm 😟
How's he now?
@@ewilliams370 unfortunately he passed last July
What a gem this is.
It's technically a diamond
Thanks luke, well done. old school. nice to see devil fish in there too.
This is a true piece of art
Best thing for the WSOP was the incredible, Amazing coverage ESPN did in 2003-2008.
Hole cards
Lol that's Mike Matusow shaking Scotty's hand at the end.
Yep he staked him
The guy at 5:35 is like a character straight out of an Austin Powers movie lmao
Totally normally fella from Wolverhampton
It’s amazing how far the game has come since then.
Ahhhhhh the good ole days!
EVERY single time that I felt out of a game, 31:22 plays in my head, and for a split second, things feel okay..
This was great. Loved it.
Pawn stars cameo towards the end.
Announcer says "dollars" throughout when he should be saying chips. They aren't betting dollars; they are betting chips.
Announcer? That's the late, great John Hurt, mate.
Back then every dollar amount to exact chips, they were trying to get the general public to watch them more so they could say they bet $300,000 dollars even though it was a tournament
Such a different game back then. So funny to hear someone say, "When he went all in after my bet, i knew he had to have Ace's. "
He thought he knew he had it but he didn't think that he thought he knew
Marty Wilson was a legend. love that story of him running up a buy in on blackjack. Thats what the world series is all about.
On the other hand you have him manically laughing also about his gf breaking both her legs falling into a hole because he stole the cones.....
@@huzcer I'll be honest, that entire story went straight over my head 🤣🤣🤣
@@danielcharlton5159 guy seemed proud of the fact that his missus broke both her legs falling into a hole that he had stole the warning cones off. almost as proud as his 18 mile tailback... a true degen in all senses of the word. how did this guy die one wonders...?
Well, he's probably bullshitting, not uncommon for good storytellers.
Wow, how the game has moved on. Not a hoodie or iphone in sight! If only these guys knew what was about to hit them :D
+FirstCenturyFilm ua-cam.com/video/vgTf8EqfvAE/v-deo.htmlm53s
The iPhone didn't exist until almost ten years later.
There may have been a few players owning a PalmPilot with about half a MB of RAM :)
The guy described as "Persian" (euphemism for Iranian) is wearing a black hoodie if you were observant 15:54
RIP DEVILFISH
It's okay, he only busted a tournament... can everyone stop saying RIP just for busting a tournament. Death is a serious thing! Poker is a fun game!!!
aperfecte
Which tournament are you talking about? And stop being disrespectful about death please...
aperfecte
Why are you repeating yourself? Getting knocked out of a tournament isn't the same as dying. Please!
aperfecte
What does that have to do with poker?
VivaValdez sad troll. so unoriginal. go back to pokerstars
So he thought he had 1010 and folded JJ. Holy fuck I need a time machine.
RIP Martyn Wilson
Great documentary.
Thanks, Luke! Good job! Lotsa chips, lotsa chairs. I miss the old low-tech scene with all that dirty money.
Poor Andy and his final table blow ups. Must be a nightmare getting back to the monastery knowing he blew it again...
At least he was in a position to blow it. Not sniping from the sidelines having achieved nothing.
Well this was super retro funtimes.
When you can smoke at the poker table haha Scotty is a legend
RIP Mad Marty Wilson
This was as entertaining as it was tragic. Poker is a brutal, unforgiving, yet rewarding game. The problem is that it only rewards a chosen few, but often not consistently, and never for very long.
20:33 the door closed but this mans gambling vibe is still felt it’s like he never let up on the energy all the way till the door closed lol 😂
QQ vs KK nearing the bubble KQ5 flop. Brutal.
I guess the poker boom brought Andy out of "retirement" and away from the Buddhists?
Crazy how he came back and made the final table
7:58 THAT WAS THE BEST STORY I"VE EVER HEARD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Scotty even warned him, "you call, it'll be all over"
All the strategy talk and there’s mad Marty talking about how much he gets from stealing cones 😂😂
Ikr 😂
I couldn't understand what he'll he was talking about.
34:00 , I think you've got 2 10's....folds 2 Jacks
Hahahaha fml
Magee is beating himself up about calling Hoff's shove when he had QQ on KQ5. How tight were people back then?
It was preflop I think
Haha I saw a wsop from the 70s where on 884 one guy had ace 4
Puggy Pearson had 88
And was going on and on about how he trapped the guy when it's just a cooler hand
That British guy near the beginning is a madlad degen hahaha
Love hearing the Irish in this documentary. So cute 💚
Mad Marty was some buzz. Rip legend 🙏
When did he die what happened
Mike Magee is an absolute legend
Andy black
Wow, an entire room full of Old Man Coffees, good times.
history .. ty
Scotty is the coolest dude
He's a drunk and often makes himself look like a fool when he has one too many...
I have to agree with the other person. Scotty is a well dressed drunk used car salesman. Jamie gold won this tournament also. Sometimes a massive ego catches a crazy run of cards.
At 38.20. Was that Scotty wiping excess cocaine from his nose? Probably so. I miss the good old days.
17:30 That Meng cameo behind Scotty.
A nice bedside talk with Andy Black.....WTF? night night Andy.
Andrew black looks just like the hotel front desk clerk in home alone 2
Lmao Tim curry??? Noooo sir
Wow that is spot on.
This was fun.
Agree with most of what Andrew Black says, played poker for a few years in early 2000's full time just as internet/tv boom started to happen. It was a completely different game (in a sense, compared to now). There is a certain freedom but it's a miserable existence and boring most of the time. I think you just fool yourself into thinking its good, you're wasting your life even if you make loads of money...most of the big winners never quit anyway. There used to be good characters, the games were reasonably friendly most of the time, you got to know regulars etc now it's mainly youngsters on their phones all the time, talking about every winning hand, playing like lunatics but not in a good way for the game etc and the games are mostly so boring - live poker I am talking about of course.
It's a hard way to make an easy living.
The highs aren't as high as the lows are low.
Andy Black on the first scene😁😯
The Main Event when Orlando Hudson had A-10 and Sammy Farha had AA and the flop was 10-10-A.... Nothing you can do kid.
Yea but the flop went check check,turn queen and all the money goes in for like 100 times the pot which was rediculous.
No. Hudson had 1010 and Farha had A10 and the flop was AA10
i was down $25 000 playing roulette in vegas, i had $3000 left when i did zero neighbours by $600 and 15 hit, i did same bet 3 more times hitting each time. i flew back to london happy and lost it all next day
Mike Matusow had staked Scotty Nguyen when he won the WSOP main event
Hahahahaha I nearly killed my girlfriend to fund my gambling habit hahahahahah ha ha ha ha ha
Your man at the start is a legend class
352 participants!
Funny note, you can see Mike Matisow celebrating Scotty’s win because he allegedly staked 50% of his buy in. And inturn won huge too
Most mikes ever won
And as Mike will tell you, he lost it all quickly
@@Jeremy_the_bot not at the poker table, to the local coke dealer
25:20 D Gen, orange hat. Also Andy Black gave out some real truth bombs regarding winners and losers and the gambler's psyche.
Scottty is now …well he’s the star of a beer commercial lmfao he’s much more than that now cmon guys
I didn't know that "baby" was a vietnamese word
Haha 😆 now it is, baby. I love Scotty!!!!!
You call, it's all over, Baby...
I'm surprised it took 24 minutes and 48 seconds before we hear Hellmuth.
One thing about Vegas, everybody has a Story.
how much the game has changed
"you call its going to be all over baby"
26:30 is that celine dion from this guys headphones?
Matt Damon…
Jesus Christ, wish I was playing back then, they were pretty bad!
They’d be as good or better than people today had they had all the same learning materials available back then as the new gen has now.
@@Johnny2Feathers exactly
Andy black looks like Andy crack in the thumbnail
They need to raise the buy-in to $15k or $20k. It’s been $10k forever
They need to keep it 10k to bring new faces. Winning a million isn't the real prize here for super high rollers. It's now endorsements and paid to gamble at casinos. Same with NFL and most sports these days... oh we gave this guy 20 mill for signing an NFL contract for 4 years. After taxes and cost of preforming at that level and taking care of ur self it's not millions any more. But for 3 photo shoots and a TV add for anything with residuals paying you that's money.
I had to put on subtitles for Mad Martyn.
Lol@ this guy thinking he should have folded a set of queens to Bobby Hoff. Even funnier is just calling preflop.
"The only hand he could call me with preflop is aces"
Hahaha
Bobby and I were from the same home town, Victoria, Tx. When I was in my late teens, early 20s I would drive he and Steve Lott to Corpus Christi to play in a game on Ocean Drive when he came home from Vegas. Bobby was know by many to be the best no limit holdem player back then. This was late 70's early 80's.
17.24 doyle drunson ???
Dam, Mike towards the end there was running about like I do. Ran QQ into the table bully's KK, n picked up KJs super short stacked but still ran em into AA.
O fuk, n he was on the bubble lol.
Lol talking about folding a set of queens on KQ5. This is cringe levels of absurd.
yeah
Back when the horse shit wasnt a piece of shit filled with 6:5 blackjack and no customers
The story about stealing cones and hospitalizing someone is one of the darkest stories I think I've ever heard. "Two broken legs... HAHAHAHAHA".
yeah, I think I'd have to punch a dude in the head that would laugh about doing something like that.
The worst.
1999?
just wonder how they got john hurt to narrate this?
Bumped into him on the street - asked him to do it, paid his agent (quite a lot). First voiceover session I was ever in on, and still the best. What a master. Luke (Producer)
so he's not one of those celbs that play poker on the side?
@@lukemcmanus thanks for posting this, Luke. I really enjoyed it!
Wish I saw Vegas in those days before it got over rubbed by corporations
Cigs on the table loud machines must of been exotic to what it is today
You call and it's gonna be all over baby!
4:38 what the fuck did this man just say?
No clue but sounded like a fun fucking time
THE FULL STORY / Nguyen's Main Event triumph in 1998 was followed immediately by tragedy-the very next day, one of his brothers was hit by a car back home in Vietnam, and killed.[4] For this reason, Scotty does not wear his 1998 WSOP championship bracelet.... ENJOY LIFE
was this peak America ? seems like it to me
Byron "Cowboy" Wolford has a book that I got at the Dollar Tree... It's a fun read... So full of shit... He talks about being in the rodeo circuit and the cowboys couldn't make that much money so they had to supplement it in other ways, mainly gambling/poker... So funny how these guys supposedly make $40-500 in rodeo prize money, yet somehow everybody had large amounts to gamble with... He told a story about inviting a 3 card game that they'd play... He said he played it against 3 rodeo clowns and won $1500 off'em... This was the 70's... How do these guys have that much cash on em to play in a game that somebody made up .. of course he said they thought they cheated him and wanted to kill him...
1998
the most hillbilly poker documentary ever
Andrew Black before he went pyscho
poker was so easy back then... everyone is so freaking old
these guys look young lol
look unconfident" oh shit I raise " wtf who does that?
24:50ish people talk about the internet kids, take a look at these goblins
Internet kids are still far worse
33:41 He sounds like muhammed ali
