[@cIeetz]

how do they not make new poker after darks...it was the greatest show

[@Billy_B]

They did but the players were boring

[@nicosmith3924]

Look at these great players and Jamie Gold

[@moehio]

LOL. I love watching him lose.

[@alevargas140]

Why so much hate to Jamie Gold?

[@RestorationsFOD]

@@alevargas140 Because he’s a wannabe trash talker, but fails miserably

[@gregwaisso6838]

@@RestorationsFOD Jamie doesn't play anymore. He got ripped off in having to pay 50% of his winnings. Pure bs. 30% is about the going rate. Jamie plays all the hands and has to give away half of his winnings. I don't care what they agreed to. It is usury. Reminds me of Rocky Marciano having to pay his manager 50% of everything. I hope none of these misers are in Heaven.

[@Rbskater12000]

Love Doyle’s comment at 22:30 “Nice doing business with ya, John” haha I’ll use that in my next pot chop

[@TrevorStevens91]

Ok….. master 🙇🏽‍♂️ 🥴🥴

[@AirBahg]

ah the good old days when poker had personalities instead of dudes in hoodies and glasses that dont know how to say hello

[@Ilija742]

rad iohead So true, and they be like they dont reveal information, yet negreanu never shut his mouth and won 32mil lol, they trippin

[@Stockhandle123]

rad iohead Yeah but the play is so bad I could destroy this game and I don’t play anywhere near these levels. That raise by chris Ferguson on the flop in the first hand is a game theory disaster. The reraise with QQ is not a play you even see in 1/2 these days.

[@bobbylancer4553]

I hate talking and give out info I would only response to the dealer

[@AirBahg]

@@bobbylancer4553 thats okay but it makes for boring television which drives people away from poker

What's so bad about that? It helps u focus.

[@cIeetz]

Ali Nejad is the greatest commentator of all time. He doesnt yap 24 7 tryna enforce his knowledge of the game. He just cracks a pun now and then. Chill guy

[@ryancarrington9418]

7:00 I did not know there was NO CLOCK ON PAD...... CRAZY

[@sadgfasdg542]

Johnny Chan one of my favourite players. Such a classy dude and even compared to other pros hes one who extremly rarely makes a mistake.

[@hulagun]

25:55 "Yeah, I don't know if it's the hand or… the lights? I'm hot…" I think that heat was from Johnny Chan quietly steaming from folding the QJ straight that would have taken most of their stacks.

[@philipepeters]

moneymaker shows a picture of his daughter. a PRINTED picture. cool.

[@jasonhounsell3297]

Sheesh, watching old videos of poker is hard so many horrendous plays that by today’s standards puts you right in the fish bucket lol

[@gkprivate433]

years back , the year after Joe Hachim won the WSOP main event, I was in Pattaya Thailand riding in the back of the baht bus, those toyota pickup trucks with bench seats in the back. Traffic was heavy as we were going down Beach road towards walking street. Started chatting with another guy and he claimed to have had a 10 % stake of Hachim's buy in and win.

[@percyblok6014]

Cool story, bro. Pfffft

[@yaboi912]

Kiindof wild to see how solved the game has become. You'd never see Carlos three bet queens on an ace high flop today.

[@Gentamoru]

20:49 Party horn

[@QuanPham-mx6gg]

If i have a choice, i would of replaced moneymaker, Jamie Gold, and Carlos with Scottie Nguyen, Phil Hellmuth, and Huck Seed.

[@CatherineReardon]

Awesomeness looking forward to episode 2 :-)

[@cillianmcmullan]

chris ferg is the slowest most boring player to watch

[@zacharyshearing7424]

So is mortenson

[@UKMessi1]

he is so bad of a player also

[@Miken25]

J Bad player? Lmao. Did you just start watching poker?

[@imbecilexsavant]

put 20k on a table and see how fast you play ;-)

[@tylermaurer337]

You want to see slow? Go watch the hand where Maria Ho golds a set on the flop...Doug Polk has a video about it, 4 handed heading to the flop...each of them tanks for a solid 2 minutes for each decision pre

[@rcchristian2]

Gold trying to bluff Doyle in a 20k buyin... not too smart. No wonder he plays the lower limits at LATB now.

[@LifesAGambleLAG]

Nostalgia

[@MrSimonvk]

Its amazing how bad they play

[@royzaarour2429]

Like you could fucking stand a chane against them Go back to your 1/2$ stakes and stfu

[@bobbymunyavi5357]

Seems like anyone can win a Poker Main Event judging by the way these guys are playing.

[@persianprince4689]

Am I the only was that rewinded to make sure I saw that right mortenson folding 98 hearts 🤔

[@jimclark6256]

Need Phil And Phil ,plus Mike the mouth to put some life into the game,

[@hydrablue888]

Jamie gold is absolutely fish

[@jackominty3633]

That DARK bet on the first hand flop was categorically moronic. They stupidity was compounted by re-raising. His only redeeming move was to not see the all-in. Jesus wept!

[@kylemorris9070]

i barely learned who fred savage is lol and mortenson looks like fred savage lol i cant now see it

[@jhonsmit4532]

Long Island poker #1

[@migueltorres-mi5bv]

Why is it only 6 players

[@williamdavis6056]

"Gotta play what ya get boys."

[@joeygallaornsr.5748]

Im always loosy goosy lol

[@Lkrum]

As others have already said, it's crazy to look back on this old footage and see how far poker has come. High stakes players today would absolutely crush this table, these pros make tons of plays that are considered awful nowadays.

[@Simon-gc6uf]

Why do people bother making these statements... I'd love to travel back in time too and use all the advancements in any sport or game and take on people from an earlier era...

The games the same ..only the people have changed..and they're only slightly better because the WSOP exposed the techniques of the pros to the world.

[@Lkrum]

@ They're a lot more than slightly better, and it isn't down to the WSOP. The way these guys are playing is completely amateur today.

[@Mordecai154]

Don't know why Mortenson would bet like that with his Queens. He knows better I feel like.

[@MrIncrysis]

Chris Moneymaker made all these guys rich.

[@garyhauf5210]

Awful lineup for TV

[@johnspence8141]

Two of these champs are not like the others.

[@wmwastle]

no poker till 2.00

[@ciric6334]

Minchia lento Ferguson

[@mdougf]

Wtf was Carlos thinking about for so long? A guy goes all-in with an ace on the flop aka better than your pair of Queens. Obviously the other dude had an Ace. You have to fold. Easy

[@ChipZilla69]

Chris Furgeson has the air of a serial killer about him.

[@anonymousraw4116]

He dismembers

[@joeshittheragman6252]

Jamie Gold LOL what a clown

[@asianlivesmatter3634]

[@sticktoFL]

Wtf are these fish doing on the first hand lmao

[@deathbymonkey69]

This is the “golden age?” This was extremely boring. No super cool hands, people barely talked, and people only played good hands. There was no position raising, a whole lot of checking with top pair, and overall no exciting hands. Crazy how these same people right now would get absolutely ran over by the pros of today.

[@badbeatking80]

Jamie Gold was way over his head in poker. You win big take the bulk and out it away unless you got mad skills, which he does not

[@EmperorNerox]

He cleared 6 mil. He was already a millionaire though.

[@ColletteisaBear]

"that was first date awkward" omg so glad the commentator said something, it was so weird

[@tylermaurer337]

Right after she said something Jamie didnt shut up for the rest of the video. I guess it worked and they need his personality for ratings but jesus if I didnt love Jamie it would have gotten annoying fast

[@Joel-js2gk]

I know this episode was aired a very long time ago, but it shocks me to see how far poker has come. Some of the plays these guys made back then would be considered horrendous plays today. Of course, they were also terrible plays back then, but they didn't yet know that. Makes me respect the people who have been pros for decades even more so, because they've had to make huge adjustments and remain successful.

@@sadclown14 Things like limping in UTG with A2s, or limp-folding UTG with QJo are some examples. Like I said, they weren't terrible plays back then based on how people played in that era, but in today's game none of these players would make those types of plays.

ABSOLUTE CRICKETS!!!!

With you till you mentioned women...shit to do with poker. You sound lame to me. This is a pissing contest for bragging rights between champs...you don't get ahead by running your mouth unless your good at it...like maybe the unibomber. Good players don't talk for many reasons...one being that they're analyzing those who talk to much for weaknesses..while minimizing the window into their own head with silence.
