Chat spamming "SKIP SKIP SKIP BORING VIDEO" in the beginning to then in the end spamming "HOLY CINEMA BANGER VIDEO" is a new level of brainrot that has to be studied

Not really. The chat consists of thousands of people. The people who called it boring were most likely not the people who ended up saying it was cinema. Different people have different opinions. This is a really bad take.

I felt so insane reading chat when they were talking about that. Like you said, 120k right now would still 100% be life changing to any normal person. You really can tell more and more just how young and immature this chat is.

[@Magoooobly]

To be fair having money can't make you not a complete and utter failure of a human being so yeah there's that perspective

[@DGS2605]

That final bluff is genuinely unbelievable. It'd be a ballsy move from a professional, but a random dude? Nuts.

[@Wipez]

Or maybe it's expected for the non-pro random dude to make a bluff that's unbelievable eh? Because pros make believable bluffs hehe

@@WipezFarha most likely thought that a less experienced player like him would not do something this insane without a strong hand

[@DGS2605]

@@Icetea-2000I think Farha's thought process was that Moneymaker either had a pocket pair higher than 9s that had a spade, or that Moneymaker had 2 spades and baited him into seeing the final card before calling All-In.

[@MasterShake1G]

Between 2003 and 2011 this was my happiest time on this planet. Going to homes and clubs every night playing poker, to running 48 hour poker sessions on Fulltilt and Pokerstars, to talking poker strategy with my group of poker friends. Weekly trips to the Taj. Man I wish I could relive this time period. It was something special.

[@1x1nDone]

I remember watching this tournament as it happened. This was when Poker was just starting to get big, and when Moneymaker won, poker EXPLODED afterwards. It seemed like EVERYONE was playing Texas Hold em

Sad part is that Moneymaker's run isn't even the most ridiculous. Jamie Gold had a significantly crazier run in 2006 and his play afterward showed that he really lucked his way through that event. Moneymaker at least had mediocre poker chops in the top end arena.

As a part time poker player (around 1000 live hours this year), this video was honestly a little bit annoying hearing the guy make assertions about what players were thinking in the moment that just are not true. Also, some incorrect terminology was used throughout. But overall, it is a solid video explaining Moneymaker's story in a relatively compact fashion. Needed more clips from the ESPN coverage though.
