WSOP Top 100 Hands of All Time | 5-1 | Phil Hellmuth, Matt Affleck, Scotty Nguyen & Chris Moneymaker

[@gratler]

I would switch #3 and #4 around. the line "you call gonna be all over baby" is just so epic

[@conorchristopher8089]

Nah #3 was crazy

[@stevest8675]

Agree. Epic

[@danwoods5501]

I called #1 from way back when the list first started. When you consider how much poker changed forever after Moneymaker won, and that hand being the poster child hand of ‘a nobody can outplay a pro’ making everybody think they could too, a huge ingredient of why poker boomed as crazy as it did, it really couldn’t have been anything else. That hand could very well be the reason this list was able to be made.

[@TheTrollTrollyYeti]

Mmm Farha is not a NL holdem pro though. He's known for Omaha play. And Omaha players approach poker entirely different than holdem players. It's why you rarely see Farha make it deep into NLH tournaments.

[@bbertgilo1574]

Ths thing that Made CMs run iconic aside from what you mentioned is unlike Gold who was really running hot, CM made moves that were unprecedented for a regular guy at that time...

[@woodysmith2681]

Yup, he bluffed the consummate Vegas pro beautifully. He made very few (on-camera) bluffs all tournament. Moneymaker built an image and exploited that image when it mattered.

You could even call it the moneymaker effect

[@darylmixan8170]

@@bbertgilo1574 80% or more players at that time read Doyle's Super System 1 and 2 and played Power Poker... players were pushing and calling with top pair only... and almost every straight and flush draw was getting raised, if not pushed... It was a standard play to shove with a flush draw... Poker has come along way and players are lightyears better than what they were in the 2000's.

Sammy has that mob boss vibe. He's like how a poker player would be portrayed in a movie. Chris the amateur gets to his final opponent and it's this old school mob boss guy. It's like it was written in a script.

Little known fact about the Moneymaker/Farha hand... Sammy actually tanked for 21 minutes on that river decision. 21 MINUTES!!! Not exactly what an online player wants, to sit motionless while bluffing for what must have felt like an eternity 😂

[@rupertbob1463]

I heard that on a poker stories podcast! In the footage it seems tense, but 21 minutes, insanity! Does anyone know how much the river shove was for? Pot was 1.3M, was it a huge overbet or pot size bet or what

[@rupertbob1463]

Apologies, pot is 1.8m on turn. Its a sort of weird hand as far as i can make out action. Not sure what blinds are. Chris makes it 100k pre, sam calls. Flop check check. Sam overbets(?) turn for 300k, chris raises the over bet. Then jams river when checked to for unknown amount. Pre flop seems normal enough, rest of hand is a bit crazy. Seems like way too much chips went in here on turn and river

[@johnscott4196]

I've agonized with Farha. He knew 99.9% he was the winner but KNEW he could outplay Moneymaker later, then he got frustrated internally about the fold and called later.

Unpopular opinion here, but I think people overestimate Chris Moneymaker's influence on the game. If they didn't introduce the hole card cameras for the 2003 main event, very few of us would know who Moneymaker was, just like how very few of us knew who Robert Varkonyi was, who won the 2002 main event as a total unknown. Give special kudos to the people who thought of the hole card camera concept, as they are the ones primarily responsible for the poker boom in my opinion.

[@Newbcardcollector-sv8wd]

Its not an unpopular opinion just an incorrect one

[@joemac999]

poker was increasing in popularity before moneymaker won, but just look at the entries the year after in the main event. His effect was massive.

[@zachschacher6142]

@@joemac999 Moneymaker winning certainly helped. But as I mentioned before, the hole card cameras started being used in that exact event. ESPN also had covered the 2003 event way more extensively than any previous events. If the hole card cams weren't there, that coverage likely wouldn't have happened as the viewers would've been bored out of their minds. This was an experiment by ESPN to cover poker with the hole card cams and it worked wonders. This along with an amateur winning caused the boom. If they did this in 2002, the boom would've started a year earlier with Varkonyi in Moneymaker's place.

Nobody would have folded to Ivey’s shove. It’s statistically almost impossible to win the main event without sucking out some times.

[@avocado6266]

For Matusow’s hand, I don’t see why another suck out to another suck out makes it so high. This list is littered with back and forths after cards have been shown. Mike didn’t really make a bad move in pushing, and the guy had to call. I was figuring the top 5 would’ve been all like Number 1, where the full ins and outs of poker is played, which doesn’t have to always end with the tournament ending, or a massive bad beat. IMO, the number 11 (or was it 12) pick should’ve been number 5. It was quad aces versus the royal flush. The odds on that are astronomical.

I CAN DODGE BULLETS BABY! Iconic moment for phil hellmuth

It’s funny how no one’s talking about the fact that Affleck did not five bet the AA. I think that’s a very important point to talk about. This is not a cash game. Chips mean more than cash here.

We are going to be results oriented and leave out the fact that he had a commanding CL with 15 left in the ME 80% of the time, but he made a bad flat? Did you want him to fold out villain with a face up 5 bet?

[@JoeDiego]

If he 5-bets Duhamel probably finds the fold. His flat got him in the position to be a MONSTER chip leader with 15 left in the main. It’s all about risk management, and that was certainly the right risk to take.

Sick AA beat, in retrospect so easy to say how aggressive he was in an important moment at an important table, but unless you been there you don't know what you would do. Must have been absolutely heartbreaking, really played it perfect, except i guess simply getting too aggressive not having hit anything on the board. Fiery for sure.
