[@adambutterworth7608]

The difference in how Matusow takes losing a 60/40 to how Doyle takes losing to a 1 outer is staggering.

[@Neto808]

Doyle is classy but he doesn't care about this 20k sit n go at all.

[@mrdjr6544]

Difference is Doyle has big bank roll. Mike is always almost broke.

[@bobvest8973]

Matusow is still eating ranen noodles. He Doesnt have doyles room lol

[@seanarmstrong7767]

Difference between a "pro" and a "true pro".

[@JohnSmith-su3ze]

Doyle has $100 million. Matusow lives his life in debt.

[@joeo5484]

Mikey: “you lose. I win. See ya” literally as the river sends him home. Just incredible 😂😂

[@richardgiordano253]

David Grey. What a pain.

[@lolipedofin]

It's weird listening to Gabe's voice coming from the table.

[@RakkiOtoko]

One of my favourite Gabe quotes was when he played on high stakes poker and said “this games a lot harder when you can’t see the whole cards”

[@youtubersingingmoments4402]

I don't know, you could probably play just as well with the cards cut in half. The number and suit would be preserved any which way you cut it. No need to see the whole thing.

[@thekaptain1555]

It's hole cards you dolt

[@kteddy3290]

Daniel calling Matusow a coin flip genius is peak poker commentary

[@andywarhaul12]

Mikes reply to Daniel saying he wins coin flips all the time was gold. “You win like half of them”

[@potatopoison1130]

Yooo. Look at Brunson face when he looks at Mike right after he had shook everyone's hand. Priceless.

[@tccandler]

And to this day, David Grey remains the most irritating (harmlessly so) human to ever sit at a poker table.

[@iTasteTheTim]

he's not even the most irritating person at that table, did you not see Mike at the table ;)

[@joshuakennedy8094]

You would think people like would take a clue and shut the fuck up when nobody ever responds or acknowledges any of their stupid jokes or comments

[@TrenosUK]

I agree. As much as Mike is annoying I’d rather listen to him singing Old MacDonald than David’s exterior monologue during hands.

[@kennethkerrigan8140]

He reminds me .. of guys you meet on the poker table. You can tell hes socially awkward and he try to make up for it, with shitty jokes about hands, flops, and always talking out of turn. for some reason there always on your table when your having a bad day...They make you wanna give up the game!!!!

[@PokerJunkie83]

Yeah he’s quite the talker.. usually stating the obvious when you’re not in the mood to hear the obvious 🤣😂😂

[@davidelet3652]

They should post this exact same video but the David Grey commentary cut out.

Kaplan is a legend in the poker world. His commentary was more elite than his playing. And he was never bad.

[@davidhill2020]

I don't know how many times I've busted out laughing at his commentary watching HSP. His dry jokes come out of nowhere and it kills me every time. Someone tell Joe Stapleton that he doesn't need to crowbar a joke in at every opportunity, btw...

Matusow always goes from bully/asshole to crybaby. If he would just chill out he wouldn't be so unlikable. But since he is who he is, his losses and reactions are so satisfying.
