World Series of Poker Main Event 2017 - FINAL TABLE with Scott Blumstein & John Hesp

[@ianshirreffs5604]

This was one of the best final tables in WSOP ME history. I remember watching it live, and everyone was telling the announcers it's pronounced Pah- lick, not Poh- lock. They kept mispronouncing it. Thanks for posting. For me, this is one of my favs!!! ❤❤ John Hesp was a pleasure.

[@iamhorcruxer]

They kept saying the Sweden champ last name wrong too… Jacobson

[@usernamesrlamo]

Biggest takeaway: DON’T play A10 for your tournament life at the final table!

Polish people must cringe every time they say "Polak"😅

I've seen all the Years so far, this one brought me to happy tears. Great final table. Congrats Scott.

[@CrazeeAdam]

I love John Hesp was there for Scott when he won and they embraced there on the side with his parents and friends. Pretty awesome.

[@andybehmke8308]

Hesp was great. What a fun table. I wish he could have found the fold with the 2 pair.

[@leegavino1534]

top 2 is very hard to fold and he shoved, he shouldve called scott's bet on the turn..but still all chips will go down the middle there

unfortunately saved his worst play for last, guess we all have done that, maybe not with the stakes so high

I don't give a damn about the critics - John Hesp added a well needed injection into the tournament platform... not a style for everyone, but it doesn't have to be!

[@CrazeeAdam]

He was basically Moneymaker 2.0. Despite note winning, he 100% was. If it wasn't for Covid a few years later, the momentum of the WSOP main event probably would have just continued on

Hesp is so great, and Piccioli having so much fun was awesome to watch. Guy looked like he was in awe of grandpa the whole time. Also... LIST THE VIDEO. There's a reason why this final table has under 1000 views, PokerGO. You posted this 2017 series Unlisted and you can only watch them by watching the full earlier videos until the end screen where a tiny window pops up suggesting the "next" video, but it can't be searched for.

[@Domisfakename]

Hesp made these pros act like his grandson.

[@Mirvana]

Making two modern WSOP final tables is always a feat, but I don't think enough people give Damian Salas enough credit for not only making this run, but also getting to be crowned champ in 2020. Yeah, it was only $5000 buyin. Yeah, it was online, with the only live part being the US champ vs World champ heads up match. But it was still THE Main Event that year.

[@justinbrett3024]

Blumstein incredibly lucky with some of these hands..like ridiculous luck

[@ricefarmer464]

you need ridiculous luck to even get to the final table

[@El.Espartano]

Exactly. All of them were extremely lucky to get there but Blumstein is just an aggressive donkey that had a lot of luck. The same for Sinclair. Salas plays much better than those players. The same for Pollack and Saut

[@philip-op6de]

All these guys at the final table are there because of how lucky they got but Plumpstein got lucky in the right hands. He’s not great imo but whatever

Hesp went from 120M to 20M in a blink of an eye. Two badly played hands is all it took. Moronicness confirmed. At 120M, with massive chip lead, he could have tightened up and gone home with a second place or better.

[@fredcarpentieri6012]

Poor esp just isn’t refined as a player enough to know that when he goes all in with top 2 after his oppenenf 4 bet him that his oppenenf is never calling his all in with a hand worse than a10 and is losing opportunity to keep his opponents bluffs in by just calling.

[@richardsimmonsjuggernautof9781]

Hesp didn’t understand that Blumstein NEVER would 3 bet the turn with hands like AK AQ etc, the worse value hand he has is A10 and even that is unlikely

[@shadowdawg04]

Hesp said himself he is just a recreational player - that being said, he should have thought it through longer.

[@Potterholic1]

Nah, the worse play at this final table was Ott going all-in over the top of Pollak's all-in with K-9 three-handed. He has to know that Blumstein is calling with almost any two cards with his chipstack, and K-9 plays poorly in that spot.

[@12aR9]

Still made top 4. Was running super hot tho

Hesp gave a lot of informations during this FT and during the other episodes... but we can see that it works for him, all the others players was affraid of money (Pollak in the 1st hand fold TT). This guy played only for fun, he is 63yo so nothing to proof and his life is "done"

[@breakit46]

It was edited to show hands played, John became the main attraction so he had more hands shown. He did nothing wrong in coming 4th, he could have folded to 4th or better but chose to not slow down or sit out. He made a few solid folds here and made a huge mistake over valuing two pair A10. He put the nitty tanking pros to shame, proper schooled them.

Hesp talks WAY too much. He is giving out information like it was candy on Halloween. His betting is all wrong. He bets 3 mil on the flop and gets called. On the turn he should be upping his bet (unless he is unbeatable) but he makes the same bet which gives the opponent better and better odds to call and suck out. He will never make another final table ever again. this was his one and only fluke.

[@mattg7977]

He will never make a final table again because he doesn't even play it anymore and hasn't for quite some time. He doesn't much care about being a polished poker player.
