That was the best part of the whole video! He realized no one was listening and he wasn’t getting the attention he normally gets so he shut up. Such a baby. 👶😭👶
he was the first aggressor seeing all the straddle money sitting on the table so technically she IS supposed to fold with such a marginal hand. you're not a poker player and have never made a living at it so you see 1 example where it worked in someone's favor who didn't play right and think the pro is wrong. he's made 10s of millions in poker since he was 21 and you haven't.
It’s the correct jam and it’s the correct call there was nothing actually wrong with this hand between them other than Phil going off on a rant. He got owned all session in a game he was sure he would crush.

I think Alex is the smartest person in the room! I don't know if she is just using calculated math to compel her plays or if she blends in some "gut" feelings along with a careful understanding of the methods her other players use.
@faismasterx she is 100% doing math. She's constantly asking for her opponents stack sizes to calculate pot odds. Plus in one hand she put the other guy on a flush draw and still be, so she at least knew he had a 50/50 chance of winning. She is also using her gut. But it's more like she has spent time studying tells. She has a coach for reading tells. Anyway most people who have played poker for more than a week should be doing both.
@@brutalhonesty5138 You have to play well to get lucky, stupid! A lot of her bets and calls were calculated, especially preflop. Which is what gave her a chance that put her in a position to win in the first place! Wide range, but she was never out of line. A lot of those hands she was ahead. Do you not know how to play or are you blind? 🤦🏻♂️ The only player on the table that wasn’t calculating every move was Mr. Beast. Mr. Beast was either going to get lucky or he wasn’t.
@@AoughiBeing smart and lucky are not mutually exclusive, obviously. That day she had both and the probability that it won’t be the only time it happens for her is very high.
@Aoughi ummm ... she was ahead with the best of it literally every time she called a big bey or raised all in herself. That's a lot more smarts than luck.
Tom Dwan should not be allowed to play poker. The absolute terrified look on his face every time, is just too much for him to handle. His eyes watering, the nervous body language, he's got to go.
Enjoyed the game and Alex seems cool, but it was odd how much she was allowed to take off the table throughout the session… for those who don’t watch much poker this is referred to as “going south” and it’s a big no no in virtually every game. I get this was a special game and it’s their money, I just hope new people watching don’t think they can do the same after winning a big pot in their local casino or home game.
They made a comment that it was pre approved prior to this specific game. Yeah, it’s normally not allowed, but in a private game, a lot more is allowed in terms of behavior.
Dan, most of what I saw was her racking up chips for the purposes of “coloring up” or trading for higher-denomination chips. Of course, if she didn’t have enough space for the chips even after coloring up, they probably gave her a storage area to hold them (as an extension of the table, not technically “off the table”).
“I don’t think poker is easy, I’m sweating my balls off here!” That’s because you have the biggest balls on the table, Alex! I can’t remember watching a player going on that kind of run in a cash game ever. It’s one of those once in a blue moon type where you need the right mix of players. Fun to watch! The table was entertaining all around with Alex, two poker legends, Mr. Beast mixing it up and Alan the gambler. Hahaha And of course Classic Phil Helmuth highlight! He never lets us down! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 HCL is the biggest winner though. 🔥
You should thank Ludwig. Ryan wanted Mr. Beast to play at Hustler, and Ludwig mentioned he had his number. Ryan later gets a call from Mr. Beast wanting in. Ludwig gets a few of his more well-off streamer buddies who can throw 50 grand or more into the cashier's cage, including xQc (who also does gambling streams). Afterwards, Ryan gets the idea for a "sequel": Everyone who sits must stake a million bucks at least, which was what happened a few months ago. Rampage, Nik Airball were among them. (Mariano's backer, sadly, flaked on him, so he had to sadly tell Ryan he couldn't play.)
The sweetest thing about Tom "Durrr" Duan is he doesn't look like a Tom, his nickname Durr doesn't match his character, and he absolutely doesn't look like his last name is Duan.
Tom Dwan, Phil Helmuth, Alan Keating - all utterly destroyed by Botez. At one point Boten said to Hellmuth "I can't hear you for the sound of all my chips" But its missing from this tream.
@@egone61 I agree that she's intelligent, but it would still be extremely difficult, professional poker involves such absurdly deep thinking, and understanding of every situation, I mean most of these pros start when they're like 16 and she's 23 I think

it would be a jackpot to get to play in these type of tables, where there is multiple super weak players that have a lot of money and are just throwing away all ins for the sake of it.
A8 shoves because there’s so much dead money from all the irresponsible straddling. He expects to have the best hand often and he might even get A9 or AT or 22 or 33 to fold. This is known as the gap concept. You need a hand stronger to call than to push. Generally by some sort of gap. Unfortunately alex is not here to fold so there is zero gap and she calls with the next best hand. A3s calls because he’s super rich and doesn’t care about money. He’s just gambling with a single high card suited hand. Even against KK, A3s isn’t doing terribly. It is gambling though. Then mr beast also just wants to gamble. You can tell because he put 26k in blind preflop. And in his mind he doesn’t want to call he just wants to shove since it’s not much more. To win the biggest possible pot. Then of course alex is pot committed so she calls then keating doesn’t want to leave any behind so he shoves or calls all in. He’s pot committed as well. You can tell just how rich mr beast is because when they talk about running it once or twice he definitely wants once. He wants to gamble! Then when everyone else wants twice he’s like oh you guys actually care about this money? Ok I’ll do whatever you guys want to do I just want to have fun. Super rich and/or doesn’t care about money
An observant poker player would have picked up on her choosing to put her shades on. Its very slight cues that professionals can pick up on. Cues that have a slight variation from normal typical behavior. A true poker pro wouldn't have done that.
That’s poker! Only 4 players have won the WSOP back to back and the last time it happened was 35 years ago. Most run hot and do ok after. Some run hot and have a bad spell after.
Phil stated that he wanted Botez to call his all in. When she beat him, he cried. 😂
haha yeah and beast said he waited all night to go all in with Q5 o? lol
Phil's a crybaby, he while cry for his bottle all day long.
Poor Phil
Even tho she had him and everyone else piffed pre flop lol
Did Phil just say "I hate poker" lol
It's so funny that Phil is a lifetime poker pro and yet totally unable to deal with variance. He should get into chess!
Its Phil Helmuth
It's because these guys are all rich and not afraid to call on big bets. He should've realized that and changed his strategy up.
@@tylerh1648 This so much. Not a single person at that table had the intention of playing a tight game.

Phil hating on Botez for calling A9 but said nothing to Keating for calling with A3
He’s a pro/guy take your pic
I mean A3s > A9o particularly in multiway pots
Because it’s Keating he calls with anything 😂

"I'm sweating my balls off here" - Botez LOL
13:05 wow I didn't realize Phil said this and after the hand he's bitching about Botez calling.
I think that was his attempt to pretend that he wanted a call and therefore get her to fold.
He keeps bitchin but no one is listening, He's more mad at the fact that no one is paying attention to him.
Phil complained how Botez could call over $50,000 with a Ace 9, .. but neglected to talk about how stupid he was .. to go all-in with a Ace 8! .. maybe he ought to challenge her to 10 .. $100,000 head to head games! .. 5 poker challenges .. and then 5 Chess challanges! .. "GOOD LUCK PHIL!"
hellmuth raises 55k and then is mad that he got called with a better hand
He didn't mind being called by 2 other worse hands because they didn't win 😂

Best thing about this is hellmuth talked so much smack about botez and she recently was in a after dark table with him and beat him again lol
