Can you blame him? When I first saw that I was SCREAMING at the screen. I have to admit I lost a little respect for Matusow after seeing that.

Matusow make a grave mistake by not reraising.

#5 20-10-2007, 3:11 AM

the greatest part of the whole hand was after phil bet 40K on river, mike said "I know phil never bets the river if he really doesnt have it." i about died, and im sure hellmuth did as well!

#6 20-10-2007, 3:33 AM

I love the fact that before that hand mattusow is telling everyone what a fish hellmuth is. Glorious Timing! I love phil hellmuth so much more after this.

Hello [FIRST POST]

well, mattusow scared the 3 of kind and with a 40K on the river, he can fold KK, he made an mistake to not BIGraise the flop, but maybe he wants to made a trap to Hellmuth, if the river was a deuce, it would be better

#8 20-10-2007, 3:54 PM

No, I am with Esfandiari on this one. After the hand was over, mouth all agape, "HOW COULD HE FOLD KINGS THERE?"

Yup that pretty much summed up my feelings.

#9 20-10-2007, 11:12 PM

its a huge fold, maybe mattusow was trying to look good on the cameras and just misplayed the situation?

#10 20-10-2007, 11:13 PM

ya wow that was amazing haha pretty funny stuff, sounds like a fun game to play

#11 21-10-2007, 10:14 AM

WOW, that was amazing, i am a fan of Matusow but he really does get himself in trouble with the stuff he says "fish" "never bets big on the river if he doesnt have anything"
massive laugh, great video, thanx

#12 27-10-2007, 12:45 AM

Matusow played that terribly every street, as a result had basically no info on Hellmuth's holding and even then should have still made the call, instead making a 'hero' laydown which went wrong.

#13 27-10-2007, 12:43 PM

hellmuth is a gangster and i have even more respect for him now

#14 27-10-2007, 3:21 PM

the best part of that is everyone had to give hellmuth $500, bc of the 7 2 rule they made that stated if anyone wins a hand with 2 7 then everyone owes that person $500...

#15 27-10-2007, 3:27 PM

What no one has mentioned is that Phil admits to knowing that Mike only had the one buy-in with him, so if he went bust there, then it was goodbye Mikey.

This would have added confidence to Phils betting and weakened Mikes ability to call the large bet on the end.

#16 19-11-2007, 7:09 PM

Great stuff, my favorite high stakes poker video though is where Gus and Daniel battle it out with all the 55's and 66's i think Gus made quad fives or something and Daniel a full house i cant remember still great stuff!

#17 19-11-2007, 8:33 PM

Great vid!
I remember seeing this for the first time, i was amazed. Great way to start the new season!

#18 20-11-2007, 4:03 PM

YouTube - daniel negreanu and gus hansen on high stakes poker

This is what im talking about, this is some pretty sick stuff check it out !

#19 18-12-2007, 4:17 AM

It's easy for us to criticize Mike there but we know what the card were. I wish I could lay down hands like that, when I need to.

#20 18-12-2007, 5:44 AM

Yeah eNTy I watched that one, Negreanu probably felt so sick after that haha I would probably throw up

#21 18-12-2007, 4:59 PM

na the best hand is when there are 2 limpers and farha raises blind from the button, the 2 limpers call. They both the check to farha who bets again on flop still without looking at his cards once, and the other 2 fold knowing he was betting blind

#22 20-12-2007, 10:07 PM

ROFL. WOW, that was some entertainment. I'm surprised Matusow wasn't raising.

#23 20-12-2007, 10:24 PM

The thing is, if Helmuth had pocket Qs or Js then his set would completely fit, so Matusow was either making a good laydown, and would be able to say how amazing he was, or he gets pwned!!

#24 21-12-2007, 12:39 AM

did you see the one where sam farha called phil's big raise with K7o against phils QQ and of course he hit the K. poor phil

#25 21-12-2007, 3:37 AM

Oh man, thats so good! haha

#26 30-12-2007, 7:43 AM

I WISH I HAD THE GUTS TO BLUFF SOMEONE OUT OF POCKET KINGS! haha

#27 11-02-2008, 11:38 AM

Why mike behaves always the same way ??? Phil did a great job there.

#28 11-02-2008, 9:57 PM

If I remember correctly, later in that episode Phil says that the reason he made the big bluff was because Matusow told him (before the show) that he would *not* be rebuying. So if Mike went broke he'd lose his TV time.

Phil was thinking outside of the table. Very nice move on his part.

I just saw that one the other night. Man Phil was pissed. He was just steaming for the rest of the episode. Sammie said he knew he was gambling and got lucky. Phil was typical Phil complaining about every hand Sammie played from then on out.

#30 16-02-2008, 6:47 AM

why folding kings

well anyways lol mike pissed off

#31 18-02-2008, 10:18 PM

#32 20-02-2008, 5:12 PM

This is probably the funniest thing ive seen in poker!! haha. The fact matusow was slating phil to start with. Then he pulls this move on him! absolute classic moment

#33 21-02-2008, 1:25 AM

hehe That Was SO GREAT LOL. Omg But I Dont See How In The World U Can Fold Kings In That Situation Lol. Was A Great Play Hehe. Tell U What I Bet no One Else At That Table Woudlve FOlded. But I Dont Like Hellmuth myself Lol. He Thinks Hes Way TO good Lol Awesome video

#34 22-02-2008, 12:23 AM

The 7-2 game sounds like a great addition to a game. Definitely a fun way to push a little more action. Great play by Hellmuth,

#35 22-02-2008, 12:27 AM

yeah i agree with the 7-2 game makes players think alot more. was good play by hellmuth but could u all imagine way phil wouldve reacted if he lost against 7-2

Lol
