2008 to me will always be the most crazy year in WSOP history. The bad beats were insane some of the biggest in the history of the WSOP. it had the best fold in WSOP history (rominello folding Jack's full and being right). History was made with Eastgate, and hellmuth was the brattiest we ever saw him. 2008 was the greatest year in main event history.
it was on the internet already... its not like they created the content. Infact since they started streaming the main event it became unwatchable unfortunately.
Dennis has also had two top 10 finishes in the WSOP Senior Event. In 2012, he finished second, earning $372,895. In 2014, he finished fifth, earning $153,883. These finishes make Phillips one of the few, if not the only, poker player to have three top 10 finishes and a fourth deep finish in tournaments with more than 4,000 entrants
Dennis was the best from this group. The most relatable in my opinion. No disrespect to the others. Yang was charitable. Moon worked in agriculture. Gold is buddies with Johnny Chan and was hob knobbing with quasi celebs. Dennis was the guy the average player can relate to the most.

Feels good to lose that chip lead, be at risk of busting in 7th, then gettin bailed out to get back up to your starting stack. Probably feels deserved and like justice, when it shouldn’t.
Because he doesn’t beat value and he didn’t think dude was bluffing. It’s really not that hard to figure out. Auto call those hands and you’ll be flat broke.
In watching the 2007 Main Event coverage, I was trying to figure out why Jesper Hougard looked familiar. Fast forward to this episode and the "hoeba hoeba hoeba" chant, and it's a "OH! That's what where I know him."
yeah me too. i was surprised after re-watching this. i was probably thinking of Darvin Moon who finished 2nd in 2009. another amateur player with a sports cap.
I will comment and like every one of these...eventually. You’ve been sharing these for over a month, genius move as far as squeezing every dime out of these. I wonder how far you going up to?

Haha funny. This one lasted a little more than a hundred (105). But the 2004 heads-up between Raymer and Williams really went almost as quick as the ESPN broadcast showed. That might be the shortest.
@@shadowdawg04 Hey it's possible. During last year's Super Bowl, I was rooting for either the Chiefs or the Eagles. And the year before that, I wanted the Rams or the Bengals to win. In 2021, I wanted the Chiefs or the oh you get the idea.
I really don't know what Schwartz and Phillips were thinking bluff shoving with nothing... Definitely could have picked a better spot to make a move. But... winning almost 3 and 4 million isn't a bad payday st all 😂
It feels like im watching flags move around and vanish instey of the battle. Less team flag button holding and more showing the action. Cant see it through the flags.
"6, 6, 6" "6 zero times haha" 💀 that will always be the worst bad beat I've ever seen when you take into account the occasion of it being a final table
@@billysikes1374I think Demidov was the best player. The commentators said that during the break before the November Nine, he won two more tournaments and finished 3rd in the WSOP Europe main event.
First hand with aq vs ak the ak should have shoved rather than called. Shoved or folded. The other player was better and ak is a tricky hand. If you're calling of a third of your stack preflop with ak you'd be better off shoving, it seemed obvious to me that the raising and re raising then re re raising with those hands was because they would rather take it down pre flop....ak.....shove its a tournament and some of these European players are hyper aggressive with a hand like ak stick it to em!😂
While I appreciate Pokergo for providing this, I have to admit I skipped a lot. Very much the commercialization of everything. The sponsor badges, the announcer, commercials and short clips every 20 seconds, and the 'November Nine' idea in general. It's a tough watch if you like to watch poker being played rather than marketed.
montgomery play vs demidov was icm suicide, not too mention just plain awful, he gave up like 4M in equity to be a big shot haha. His A4 play made no sense either so he is lucky to be there but wow.
I remember the Phillips Demidov AQ vs AK hand well. I think it was live streamed with no hole cards and everyone had to wait a couple of days until the ESPN packaged show to find out what they both had. There were some very long forum threads about it!
Now l know how to win the World Series of poker,just hit sets and trips every other hand and finished it with flushes and straight in between, I got it it’s easy 😂😂😂
What a one-of-a-kind WSOP Main Event champion -- zero emotion when he won. And then, two years later, "Eastgate put his main event bracelet up for auction on eBay with a starting bid of $16,000. It eventually sold for $147,500 and this money was donated to UNICEF" -- who does that?!
I always thought the whole November 9 idea was bad overall (what if something happens to a final table player between July-Nov?), but it sure did make for great TV at the final table. All the hype gave the less dedicated poker fans to know the players so they could root for someone. I'm glad they did it, but I'm glad they got rid of it too.

Brattiest… calling someone an idiot like 5 times, oh yea he’s jus a brat
amazing
2006 was even better!
Don’t forget about the royal flush in diamonds that beat quad aces…. One of the sickest hands I’ve ever seen, 1 in 2.7 billion is the odds

wtf u talking about? PokerGo had all these WSOP videos REMOVED, just so they could repost them. PokerGo is destroying the poker community 🤦♂️
Schwartz fold with the king of hearts is absolutely insane! What a legend
Not sure why the commentary didn't include the two straight flush possibilities? But yes, I said "holy crap!" aloud when watching around 31:00
amazing fold
The Dennis Phillips run was brilliant for the game. It gave us donks HOPE!

Amazing to watch.
Peter Eastgate on the other hand decided to give the bookmakers $5 million according to an interview he gave.
what do you mean he gave 5M to bookmakers ? he gambled his 9M away ??
The ultimate needle when Phillips goes through the deck to show the case 6 he folded lol
"That is one polite short stack."
Eastgate came outta nowhere and crushed it.
Eastgate had unbelievable luck at that final table
Feels good to lose that chip lead, be at risk of busting in 7th, then gettin bailed out to get back up to your starting stack. Probably feels deserved and like justice, when it shouldn’t.
Name a main event champ that didn’t
2 people bluffed into him with the nuts
@@saljablo2767Phil Hellmuth, lol
Literally every player there was extremely lucky to even get that far. Blows my mind that some people don't understand tournament poker.
How did Schwartz lay down The King high flush there.
Yeah that was nutty af
Because he doesn’t beat value and he didn’t think dude was bluffing. It’s really not that hard to figure out. Auto call those hands and you’ll be flat broke.
Not true @@Scott-rq7nu
Plus Ivan barreled on the river when the board paired. @@Scott-rq7nu
Demidov checked the flop so it's tough to put him on the Ace of hearts...in my opinion it's definitely a solid fold
Phillips should have said all in or just folded the AK to Demidov, then when flop came, Dennis said, I raise, nerves gave his hand away
This was the first wsop I saw, back when I was 12 or 13. Go0d times, great series, the other events were also great.
The best part of the whole tournament - 1:31:53. 😂😂😂
So deserved that one, whining baby 😂
I now want Video recaps with music for the tournys I play
Scott Montgomery is a funny dude played with him quite a bit back in the 2000s
Maybe its just me but I've never seen so many uber aggressive all ins with absolutely nothing at this final table

What's you don't flat with AK, Dennis had to jam preflop there or fold.
Class from Marquis, that was brutal
Amazing the first half of this episode the eventual winner is never shown. Unbelievable
@11:39 Phillips should’ve 5 bet shoved pre. Bad play all around!
You know all these pro’s were not happy Chino went out in 7th, the more chino won, the more he coulda payed them back 😭
Nobody runs better than Peter Eastgate. 😂
Joe Cada: "Hold my beer".
watch him on the Cash game steams & you'll change your mind
I ment in this tournament, check final table.
Chino Rheem and Kelly Kim both have Americanized sounding voices. They don’t have foreign Asian accents.
Never liked the "November 9" and waiting a few months to finish the tournament. Totally broke up the momentum and grind of the tournament.

He just couldn't keep folding.....the best hands so he went all in with the worst hand.

@@Itsabigworldoutthere I agree...I was just using his words for his final hand. It made no sense.
Everybody bluffing away their stacks.
hitting a 2% 6 of diamonds on the river is just filthy.
why does a 6 of diamonds win over his aces?
Golden age of poker.
I miss the days where no one played with their chips. Now all you hear is chips, chips, chips the whole time.
31:30 great fold by Scwartz
Montgomery played all that time and got so lucky and then just gave them away. On A 9 and A 3
Remember this is the first of back-to-back final tables for Phillips - no else here came close...
That is a sick run.
he didn't make back to back FT's what you on about?

You should cry yourself to sleep.
Was Chino Reem a pro? Not sure if this was mentioned...
ESPN tells us he is a top pro, then admits he was broke (and almost certainly deep in debt) going into main event. Some pro
that 74 flush by eastgate was cold blooded
Brutal beat for Marquis but isn’t that a huge blunder shoving when Kim has less than 2 big blinds.
Amazing Las vegas i will be there soon
That has to be the only main where the final 2 only saw 2 hands

Theres only 3 aces and the 3 fours with the 2 aces gave the other guy a full house
