Yup he is a terrible player and a degenerate gambler but he had a run of a lifetime and then had the stack to bully people the rest of the tourney

[@ajcbd5912]

So on day 3,I was sitting next to Jamie. He was sitting in seat 7. That whole side of the table was his chip glacier stack, & many times, he was so busy stacking his chips, when it was his turn to act, it was so much easier to put the chips in blind to call. So this happens in a hand, shortly before the bubble, flop comes 535,seat 3 goes all in, seat 5 all in. Jamie, still trying to stack his chips from previous hand, reaches around his stack to look at his hand, he kinda chuckled & goes"well I gotta call, I flopped the joint" as he flips over a 3 & a 5...Ty Jamie for folding to me a few times, cashed in 650th place. Also, I told you, you were gonna win it all

@@michael2305 The WPT, in case you did not know, was sold to Element Partners an investment fund. The 2 bidders were Element Partners and Ballys. The new format is absolutely pathetic.. I just watched today on the WPT stream. The played a $200/400 holdem format with 6 players in what looks like someone's home and a private dealer. Koon, Dwan, and Dan Smith were 3 of the six players but it didn't seem to matter. I'd have spent my time better watching paint dry.. High Stakes Poker or Poker After Dark - it is not. Boring players and a boring commentary crew. Haven't watched the WPT much since Mike Sexton passed.. It was Mike and Vince. I give it 2 years and it'll be worth half or 1/4 of what Element paid for it. The commentators are lousy, the production is cheaper, etc. Poker today, hardly anyone talks. Every player is a boring grinder / Millennial oddball who tanks and solves in their heads. The new tourneys they have broadcast are watching everyone tank on every street for 30 seconds, because "timing tells" etc.. That's why they do it.

[@StrikeTheRoot]

The thing that made Gold so hard for other players was that he was brutally honest. but nobody believed him. They thought he was lying when he had it, and they thought he was lying when he didn't. if people would have just listened to him, he would have been out in the first round. it was a master class in reverse psychology.

Did win 2 mil more just by folding

[@bavarianwolf3806]

he was a master in raising people nearly to their stack and everyone was affraid to call and kicked out of the tournament

[@AveryB.0]

A lot of the comments are talking about how bad Jamie is and that he is broke now. But if you won the main event, you would feel invincible also AND probably consider poker as a career too lol

[@philiprodger4943]

He is one of the sleeziest players of all time.

[@dantaboo]

The WSOP literally had to change the rule because of him, so now no one is allowed to talk about their hands during the game. Jamie Gold exploited this method to extinction.

[@davids4063]

Alot of people mad about his table talk, like he was breaking the rules... back then they didnt have so many rules about what you can or cant say. You were allowed to show cards and say what you want. When he was "explaining himself" to people and tellin them what he had, its a pure mindgame hes playing start to finish, and it worked! Saying out loud what you have is risky, but people can lie, maybe. Its a double edged sword and a risk people can take on the psychological side of the game.

9:00 JAMIE‘S LEGENDARY 🔝 🔝

[@bigricko311]

I can't believe he actually said "but I'm also playing well" 😂😂😂

[@jakecooper5855]

Imagine making the top 3 of the main event, folding a straight flush draw against the maniac out of fear of coming 3rd, then calling off with 2nd pair no draw for everything...

[@jdf9456]

Meh that was a pretty large payday and would make a difference in his life 2nd over 3rd, he clearly decided to go for 2nd, achieved it and then was done.

[@jakecooper5855]

@@jdf9456 Baby that threw away the chance of a lifetime that he has no chance of ever replicating. You shouldn't even enter the main event if you don't want to win. He might be one of the best ever examples of why you shouldn't play scared

​@@jakecooper5855 winning 6 million is throwing away chance at a lifetime? lol i'm sure you're the bully at your local 1/2 game chasing draws but playing for millions is a different story.

[@le9335]

This was fantastic. I remember coming home from class excited to watch each ep. Jamie was pure entertainment.

[@davidglaus2613]

Craziest and luckiest run of card by someone in a tournament. But the way he made his opponents call when he had them beat or fold when he was bluffing was a masterpiece..

[@Moonwired]

He completely won that on how he acted and talked. I always thought he was a super nice guy, he’s actually an evil deceptive bastard lol.

[@cocoman00]

Man, Jamie's chip stack was ridiculous. Haven't seen that big since.

[@breakbad9753]

Poker used to look so cool with the insane amount of chips they used to use lol

[@ramonbenitez9253]

Incredible run, insane, and jamie make the perfect show, make it à movie !!

[@KROGANLovesKittensAndPuppies]

Friedman disappointed his parents 3 times that I know of. When he set out to be a white rapper, then when he set out to be a poker player, and then for being a bad poker player and folded to Gold when he had the right read.

[@mikegrand4181]

He is still playing very high stakes for being a "bad poker player."

[@gordygreen7159]

I've been searching for this just yesterday and now it's here. Can you read my mind skynet?

[@liudizzle]

He straight up obliterated this field

[@bigvsouthphilly2156]

During these years i fell in love with poker

[@brianw3749]

I don’t think wasicka said call. All he said was “alright you talked me into it”. That’s not binding. Unless I’m mistaken and he did say call. If not, he could have backed out after Jamie flipped his cards over.

[@daandemeyer1708]

Lol I have never noticed that. That’s an expensive mistake.

[@slydaxpoker5646]

He tried to call out Jamie for acting out of position but there was no 3rd player in the pot as he folded before Jamie’s act😂

[@Andy713uk]

His talking gave him a massive edge. Agree with the commentator that lot of it was inappropriate.

[@MrCoolBeans]

People are way too soft, speech play is part of the game and if you can't handle someone talking to you, that's on you.

[@Andy713uk]

@@MrCoolBeans speech play is fine but talking about what his hand was when there was a person behind to make a decision isn't ok. He ran amazing which had more to do with it.

[@CrazeeAdam]

True, but if it was truly inappropriate he would've been told to stop many times. Since he kept talking to people, you'd have to think they allowed it. Sometimes being an extrovert and able to know what to say matters
