Scott Seiver telling the guy "you can't fold, I would think less of you", was genius reverse psychology.

[@alaskaguyd963]

I don't think it was psychology. He looked disgusted at the guy after he showed his aces.

[@BrokTheLoneWolf]

Quad Aces vs Royal Flush is Bond movie hand.

[@michaelbonsiero111]

Imagine if it wasn’t on video, trying to get anyone to believe it. “So yeah, Ray Romano is there, and I have pocket aces…”

[@spoomba137]

"It was an aggressive call" is one of the best dead pan needles I've ever seen. Bonus points for Hellmuth giving crap to the new dealer. What a 🤡

[@SobotenbergFAV]

HONEY!

[@CrazeeAdam]

"I just sat down" LOL killed me

[@mariolopez-oi2td]

"he's some online guy" lol

[@Jukeboksi]

It was actually a meme, a quote of Vanessa Rousso

[@quensive]

#12 should be the number one!

[@bobbycaldwell2625]

Pretty low stakes though it was an early round and neither player made it far in that tournament

[@JohnnyV123]

It was my guess for #1

[@qbsean16]

@@JohnnyV123same!

[@jaket1858]

Should be but not because its not Ivey or Hellmuth

[@helloman3676]

You would call this hand fake if you see it in a movie 🤣🤣🤣

[@StFidjnr]

This is the last of the prelims. Now we are into the home stretch the TOP 10 WSOP Hands of all time

[@marnix-h]

Gamble with quad Aces😂

[@soaringscott5635]

That dealer smiling and telling Helmuth that he just sat down is hilarious.

[@danwoods5501]

Hands that haven’t shown up yet that I feel I know are gonna be in the top 10: - Scotty Nguyen ‘you call and it’s gonna be all over baby!’ - Duhamel/Affleck - Moneymaker bluff on Farha - Ungar wins in 1997 - Doyle wins with 10-2

[@gunders85]

Katz v Drinan aces v aces in One Drop probably

[@iangreaves7438]

Romanello fold

[@jeradballard7967]

Moneymaker bluff is #1. Your others are definitely in the top 10. A very strong list.

[@jeradballard7967]

​@@bibbe2078 it was earlier on the list

[@m1keyfreshhh256]

Mikes response “no im just gunna fold” while absolutely really laughing is a thing of gold

[@zachvaught7346]

Having the Moneymaker/Ivey hand anywhere other than 1 is absurd. That hand literally changed the course of poker history forever and kept who many consider the GOAT from likely going on to win the Main Event.

[@gunders85]

Dont worry. The Moneymaker bluff v Farha will be number one

[@Kanders190]

How many of us would even be in this comment section if that river bricked out and Moneymaker finished outside of the top 5?

[@gunders85]

@@Kanders190 They couldnt make the entire top 10 Moneymaker's most crucial hands just because of the poker boom that was ignited, and the bluff was always the more talked about

[@jeradballard7967]

Correct that "The Bluff of the Century" will be #1. I can get behind the Ivey hand being higher though.

[@zachvaught7346]

@@jeradballard7967 Moneymaker isn’t there to make the bluff without that Ivey hand that’s why I rank the Ivey hand higher. Also, not just because of it propelling Moneymaker to the title but of who it kept from likely winning. I know there’s obviously no guarantee, but I think most would agree that Ivey picking up a double up there more than likely propels him to the title (at least he would be the odds on favorite). And right now the Main Event bracelet is the only thing missing from Phil Ivey’s accomplishments

[@BerardiOhio94]

#20 Mike is 100% right, he didn't nothing wrong.

[@LebronCCP]

Nothing he didn’t wrong.

[@Kanders190]

He dropped an f-bomb. This was during a 2-3 year span where that was an automatic 10 minute penalty. One of the dumbest rules they ever tried to institute and it didn't last long. I remember Matusow getting nearly an hour long penalty one day 1 that year after a tirade.

[@CrazeeAdam]

Also Shawn is an a hole. Mike may be annoying, but he's harmless overall. Shawn is a bully and deserved to be called out.

[@elasmojones]

@@CrazeeAdam He did a taxi driver "You talking to me" intimidation routine. That was kinda funny.

[@stephenholmgren405]

RF over quads odds is 1 in 2.7 billion. BUT the odds of it being televised at this level is probably 1 in 100 trillion

[@bajorekjon]

The odds of it showing up in a bond movie is two to one

[@breadandcircuses321]

So many fun things in hand 19 one of my all time favorites

[@ProdRaju]

Why is he talking about everyone’s clothes so much 😂

[@dhunter8314]

My guess is the Chris moneymaker bluff heads up against Sammy farah will be #1

[@leonardjulius6098]

That’s a great guess!

[@toffola80]

my pick: "you call, it's gonna be all over, baby!"

[@jlaux7]

I'm guessing the AA vs AA in the 2014 One Drop will be in the top 10.

[@kenthehobo]

Remember when the turn and river were 4th and 5th street?

[@SpruceMoose304]

Adrian Attenborough's 20 minute tank fold with bottom pair will be number 1

[@StatsRob1975]

This better be the Top 10 of Top 10's lots of great hands in this set

[@labeled1]

I'd never seen Chan's slow play after flopping a straight. That was great!

[@thewolf5444]

#12 Losing with Quad Aces to a runner runner Royal Flush is the absolute sickest.

[@krolik1157]

"Queen-10, honey" has to be the most iconic meltdown of all time, at the WSOP at least. Entire history of poker changes if Moneymaker doesn't catch that Ace against Ivey. My #1 and #2 have to be the Moneymaker bluff on Farha and the Affleck-Duhamel hand, the latter still hurts to watch -- you can just see his soul leaving his body.

[@maartenstoker4734]

Hellmuth is a nit

[@GunnarRatliff]

#19 is my personal #1, it’s flawless in so many ways

[@joshuapatrick682]

Dont know why everyone hated/es on MoneyMaker for the AQ hand, he had the best hand on the flop and beat a fair portion of Ivey’s value shoves.

[@abhimanyupatil1148]

0:15 What melody is this?

[@rajahferrier7475]

Bro in the white singlet with the royal is one of the most famous poker hands of all time. What a time to be in the game back then

[@TP_Gillz]

Id throw up if I had either of those hands in that situation. Thats a bad beat jackpot in every cardroom that runs one! The guy who had the royal I doubt even made the money!

[@joshuapatrick682]

# 16 was talking about combiniturics before it was even cool…. What year was that again?

[@benjaminmuller7517]

This scream will be always in my mind from money maker... I play poker for 15 years and I love it... He open the door for dreamers like me 😂❤

[@kobeyballer]

Oh and #11 should have actually been #1. Most important hand in poker history

[@jonahmishaga1995]

Everyone talks about royal flush guy, no one talks about Quad aces guy. Salute to a fallen soldier

[@Voltanaut]

I figured Moneymaker's winning hand would've been #1. It'll be interesting to see the top ten.

[@MG-po6jc]

Yep either that or his bluff vs Farha heads up

[@weijingburr2392]

"I know you had a set... puddin"" - HHHHHAAAAHAHAHAAa

[@m1keyfreshhh256]

“It was an aggressive call” and then the smirk hahahah. You just knew that was gunna set him off

[@habs798693]

lol, Matusow flips out at Sheikan for talking about his hand with the hand still in progress and then waves "bye bye" to the crowd with players left to act when Sheikan moves all-in.

[@CarlosZelaya-ey6mf]

#16....."Johnny F*ckin Chan" part from Rounders 😂

[@briggsy9768]

I love Raymer

[@jaket1858]

Number 11 should be in top 5 surely

[@calvinhobbes5524]

2003 moneymaker is still crazy. It was on so much back in the day.

[@djharms86]

The dealer that put that Ace on the river possibly made so many people so much more in the poker industry.

[@m1keyfreshhh256]

Mike was absolutely right. In a tournament like this all of the players know etiquette, along side the fact these 2 don’t like eachother. Yeh sheik was mad but his response messes with the action. The players know some big cards are out or something that hit the board and thus less outs or less chance the 3rd guy connected as well

[@SkilledTheory]

I was fully expecting #11 to be #1. I have no idea what the top 10 can even be at this point.

[@eagleboy2202iam]

You call it’s all over baby

[@MrVIP1234]

This should be number 1. This basically started the great poker boom

[@kobeyballer]

Idk how that isn't #1. Arguably most important hand in poker history

[@SpruceMoose304]

Dan Weinman winning a 3 way flip with JJ vs QQ and KK maybe there

[@michaelmarsico9740]

Affleck vs Duhamel AA vs JJ .. big one I haven’t seen yet

[@FloydMaxwell]

One in two point seven billion.

[@manueld5253]

28:42 “Greg Raymer has its own tv show?” 🤣🤣🤣

[@mentaldavethefirst]

Absolute cheek of Skeikhan takingvthe moral high ground over an f bomb when he was slamming the table

[@ensomniiac]

Crazy Dnegs called Aces while holding an Ace blocker. Unreal that fact he's so sure of it

[@Iamhimberly]

Ivey farha for the title would have been 🔥

[@markchalled3976]

Hand #11 is historic, but it's not possible without Moneymaker getting away with a bluff earlier in the showdown. That's the had he talks to him about after the final hand. Top 10 awaits.

[@walterheisenberg251]

Negreanu called clock because he knew what Reinkemeier had after the flop.

[@stevencantler]

Did Mike really knock him out then walk around the table and shake everyone’s hands lol😅

[@brianwillis8447]

The disrespect 😂

[@dustyguadian7570]

I don’t think a lot of people understand the moneymaker effect. Online guys would get it all in 200bb deep with AJ, never fold top pair. It was beautiful

[@user-eo9on3dn3z]

And one more is neaganu vs Colman last hand one drop 2014 A 4 vs kQ

[@Bobby-bp6be]

Thought #12 and #14 would easily be top 10, 12 should be top 3 easily

[@ukdnbmarsh]

im happy for Matasow he is a good guy that has taken some bad beats in the past

[@NightwingOO7]

Moneymaker winning the WSOP Main Event should be in the Top 10. Not necessarily Number One, or even top 3. But his win literally changed the WSOP & poker as we know it.

[@bward793]

Hand #18 fold makes the man a true legend. Hand #17 shows that it takes 100% pure luck to beat that legend.

[@jordansmith2647]

is it me or on the moneymaker hand the guy announcing the hand says" sam has one pair " before he turns it over?...weird🤔

[@jeradballard7967]

#11 should have been in the top 10 IMO. Changed poker forever.

[@kamrinmartin6236]

“hey man you seem upset, what did you lose with on your last hand? trips? a straight?” “quad aces”

[@HitTheStixBRODIE]

I LOVE RAYMER

[@stevencassidy447]

Number 14 should be number 1. If that ace doesnt hit the river. Phil Ivey wins the main event and there is no poker boom.

[@dhunter8314]

Def can make a case for that, but also the bluff with moneymaker vs Sammy is another HUGE one. Think that’ll be #1

[@user-eo9on3dn3z]

Top 2 is duhamel suckout against afflack

[@jesusmayen2189]

Money maker should have been number one reason why I started playing poker

[@dhunter8314]

The bluff against Sammy I think will be #1

[@elasmojones]

yea, that's most of us

[@zappadali8696]

How I didn’t see Mike as a coke head in my youth only goes to show my innocence…

[@PabLo9992]

Chris Moneymaker glasses are cool

[@SpruceMoose304]

"he called a raise with a queen ten" 🤣

[@jaket1858]

I'm guess number 1 will be the folded full house Jack's hand because it's so random.

[@tumbleweedconnection7906]

"You can win with grace or you can win this way!" 😂

[@mathprodigy]

Money makers ace was such a sick suck out

[@feltupoker]

No. 19 is an ELITE job of leveling by Seiver. However, without context of time passed due to editing nor DNegs stack depth, calling clock in that situation while not being part of the action seems slightly messed up with a guy making a decision for 2/3 of his chips that deep in the tourney. To be clear, I don’t think Daniel was being consciously malicious. It’s just a huge decision in a tournament that costs a fortune to enter with potential generational wealth up top. Am I wrong?

[@awzm123]

they say immediately afterwards that it had been ten minutes before he called clock which seems like a reasonable amount of time to me.

[@dft110]

locco punted so hard lol

[@crawkert2]

14:00

[@dustyguadian7570]

Also I bet Ivey doesn’t feel too bad about getting knocked out in 2006. It made him way more money

[@B3LiiZ32]

#12 Quad aces losing to a royal flush? That has to suck!!!!

[@jacktyler54]

Quad aces vs royal flush gotta be 1

[@soxhater819]

The one time that Mike Matusow wasn’t out of line

[@thelonewolf191]

24:58 This is why you stay quiet at the table

[@tiltwang2323]

Where is 1997 main event last hand? Probably the greatest moment of the main

[@mistralbeach]

27:27 GAMBOL!

[@bajorekjon]

If I lose a hand with quad aces i'm quitting poker for a while

[@tylerowen3829]

Quad aces vs royal flush at 12 is diabolical 😡😡😡😡

[@richgiordano2784]

#18 is a joke. He 4 bets all in. Worst case is Qs and it’s a flip. Daniel schtick is so old. Still always looks around to see who is looking at him during a hand. Get over yourself.

[@everdash]

Royal Flush over Quad Aces? 1-in-2.7 billion chance? Has to be #1.

[@sawg4607]

I have a feeling If he hadn't foldded those Aces, that river would have made the straight.

[@manuelmartinez595]

I want to know the Top 10

[@Zooby19]

The guy who hit the Royal flush is such a mouth breather

[@Antonocon]

Honey, he called me with a Royal Flush?

[@brianevanweitz]

Nothing quite as satisfying as seeing Helmuth humbled and salty about it.

[@piratesfan1995able]

13 is legendary

[@trenrae4426]

Seiver KT hand was insane 😂

[@elasmojones]

Pretty normal bluffing hand. Still gotta be hard to lay aces down.

[@byronmurrill2186]

Sam Farha pure class.

[@colinwilson1788]

He went on to win it.And bluffed a big pot heads upp

[@henryy8150]

mattusow might be the coldest poker player

[@squirrelturdz6868]

The moneymaker Ivey hand was the most history changing hand, imo, moneymaker loses, the game doesn’t blow up from the moneymaker effect, history of the game could be completely different….🌎✌️

[@smrriles5668]

Sami farha true gent

[@drewwhezzy]

Not if you are a dealer

[@aro3275]

14 is the biggest hand in poker history.

[@Killpopkulture]

"No chance that's Aces".. it was Aces..

[@jbdpozza]

probably duhamel vs matt afleck top 1?

[@dhunter8314]

Should DEF be in top 10, probably gonna see that, Kenny Tran calling with pair of 8s on 4 heart board with no heart in hand, but I think moneymaker bluff vs Sammy will be #1

[@thamiosmgtow3678]

Tf is on 15th place who really cares, that's just bad hand

[@Wes36Man]

Why was #18 ranked so high? Folding AK before the flop by a top pro not even top 100 unless I’m missing something

[@magicolivier]

Never understood why Seiver was so upset Reinkemeier folded AA. Did he really want to be called to get a chance for a double up or something ?

[@michaelmarsico9740]

He was not upset that he folded lol

[@Charvez]

Why was 18 even on here... that's an easy fold with just AK and he raised then went all in after your 4 bet come on that's an easy decision

[@johnnywilson7579]

#14 should be #1
