Raymer is one of the most graceful winners of the tournament. One celebratory yell, then goes straight to the runner-up. And he was that respectful to anyone he busted. Well, except to Matusow lol.

[@clipsahoy88]

He was respectful to Matusow too (also he's not the one that busted Mike). Given how well they both did in 2005 I think they both gained a lot more respect for each other.

@@Kanders190 Yeah he was taking more than a minute. Even late in a tournament, I'm giving you like 3.. maybe 4 minutes tops, unless we're in the final table or something. In the middle of the hand especially.. not even the end of it.. like, it's just try to make a move within a couple minutes is all. Like Mike had it out for Greg that tournament as at the time, Greg was a newbie and a rookie, and they were paired up a lot together

I know poker is skill based, but this list definitely shows how much luck plays a huge part in winning.

Luck only works in the short term, skill in the long term. So you'll always see top players getting busted from tournaments, even when they play flawlessly. But over their career, they'll have the $ to show for it.

If you’re ever worried about making bad plays in poker just remember Phil Ivey, the best to ever do it, mucked the best hand in the main event.

[@JoeDiego]

I remember back in the day that Hudson hand was seen as the ultimate cooler. 200bbs deep, first hand. Feels like AQ, AJ, QQ and JJ are out there. Also, what’s he getting value from when he 3-bet shoves the turn? Does he think Farha is calling it all off first hand with AK?

[@danielgerald4551]

You can take out AJ and JJ as the J came on the river and they got em all in on the turn

[@JoeDiego]

@@danielgerald4551 yeah, I should have explained better - the only play when Farha x/r turn is to flat, so he would have seen the J.

agree with @Sponger760 will definitely be in the top 10, Moneymaker’s bluff is my guess for #1, Romanello fold also in the top 10.

[@Sponger760]

@@iangreaves7438 yah the stakes were pretty low on that royal vs quads hand. Top 5 for sure but not #1. Now that you mention it the moneymaker winning hand probably #1 because without that we aren't here chatting about it. Another honorable mention for top 5 was the AA vs AA flush in the million dollar one drop.

[@CrazeeAdam]

Maybe go with a classic like Johnny vs Erik since it is kind of a legendary hand. Or something like that? Could also be something really off the wall too though.

[@gophukyurselvs3621]

#48 horrible call by Snead. Jack 7 is a weak calling hand. Opponent could easily have you out kicked. There’s also the straight and flush draws on the board. Possible Trips with pocket 3s or 10s. Even high pocket pair queens and up have Snead crushed. Horrible decision to call 📞
