- Have you ever wondered how chess superstar Alexandra Botez would fare in a poker tournament? Well, here’s your chance as ice hockey legend Deryk Engelland puts her in a tough spot on the river!
When you are playing in a large pot and you have a short stack you should be aware that it is usually the best play to shove all-in with a poker hand that is likely good but very vulnerable to being outdrawn.
Alexandra Botez is a 28 year old American-Canadian chess player, she became a five-time Canadian National Girls Champion and won the U.S. Girls Nationals at age 15. Recently, she has appeared on both poker cash games and tournament poker streams, one of her first appearances was on the Hustler Casino Live stream with MrBeast, Ninja, Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat’, Tom Dwan ‘durrrr’ and Alan Keating where she won over $500,000. She has over 1,430,000 RUclips subscribers and over 1,200,000 Twitch followers.
Deryk Engelland is a 41 year old Canadian former professional ice hockey defenseman. Engelland played for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Calgary Flames and Vegas Golden Knights over his eleven-season career in the National Hockey League (NHL). Throughout his career, Engelland was best known for his physical play and fighting abilities.

🔍 Pre-flop:
Deryk Engelland limps in with K9 of spades for 20,000 from under-the-gun +1. Following suit, Jessica Canseco in the cutoff takes a similar approach, limping in with K8 of diamonds; Nathan Webb is next to act in the small blind and completes with A8o, Alexandra Botez checks her option with AQo in the big blind and they go 4-way to the flop.
💸 Flop - Kc Qd Tc
Webb and Botez check the extremely connected flop to Engelland, who fires out a bet of 35,000 with top pair and a gutshot straight draw. Canseco, with top pair and a backdoor flush draw, makes the call, while Webb folds from the small blind. Botez, with second pair and a gutshot straight draw, decides to stick around to see the turn.
💣 Turn - Jc
The turn brings in the flush which now also gives Botez the ace-high straight; she checks again to Engelland, who bets 75,000 with the bottom end of a straight. Canseco folds her pair of kings, but Botez decides to just call with her straight.
🌊 River - Js
The board pairs on the river, and now the value of Botez’s ace-high straight shrinks even more; she checks for a final time to Engelland. He bets 90,000 with his bad straight which is enough to put Botez all-in. Back on chess superstar Botez with the A-high straight, she will surely call….right?

What would YOU have done on the turn with Alexandra Botez’s hand? 🤔
Call because clearly this is a very splashy game. Alexandra has really up-ed her poker game and been crushing it!
I wouldn't have done anything because I would have been all-in PF.
I would have touched myself
I would have just shoved pre flop not put myself in this spot
Thanks Little! Your videos have helped me improve my game, learning everyday 🤓
Agreed. I have to get more into the app. I've ordered JL's book too, an 07Mar release. Cheers from Australia, OPD.
Great to see Andrea getting in the mix. The Botez sisters have a very entertaining sibling rivalry.

Great book! Thanks for putting it out!
My pleasure!
Speaking of your new book, after reading it and refreshing my studies on different scenarios you've turned my 2-month losing streak into winning again! Thanks Jonathan!

Reminds me of the fun rounds nearly two decades ago, where everybody thought they are the best, but everybody was bad. Made so much fun though, emotional rollercoasters every game. Good old times..
Not shoving pre-flop is INSANE. I thought Botez has been studying poker? ...
Yeah she lowkey ass I guess
the fact that she's playing high stakes doesn't mean she's good 😂
I wouldn't study as much either if I ran like the sun itself
How many times have you won $450k ?
@@dorian_delorean may be the most stupid comment of all time
I don't think he thought he was bluffing. You don't put her on an Ace. You'd think they'd shove AQ. He thought his straight was good.
Would love to play with Norm MacDonald and ElkY Bertrand Grospellier
I'd wanna play one full 9-handed, 8 hour table with Doyle Brunson. RIP to the goat
Daniel Negreanu, Kevin Hart, Tony G, Paul Newman, Nic Cage, Johnny Cash, Sean Connery and Margot Robbie
Got the literal lol from me on the “everyone’s have a sandwich”
Same!! 😂
Dnegs, Durr, Ivey, Esfandiari, Koon, Holz, Olga, Rousso
Playing against Alex Lifeson and Dave Grohl would probably be the most fun I could have. Both hilarious personalities.
"Everyone's having a sandwich" HA!
it's funny how every single player had an easy allin preflop but all did the opposite 😂😂
exactly why I still think sngs are so good if you can find somewhere to put volume in. recs are unimaginably horrible in these spots
Yeah AQ should have been an easy jam preflop and on the turn can go either way.
Good question. I think different celebrities would be fun to play with for different reasons. Someone like Magnus or Lee Sedol stand out, because it’s an opportunity to play a strategy game with one of the best who have ever lived… but in a game where a mere mortal actually has a reasonable chance of success.
Jonathan is NLHE Poker!
Canada here, just feel humbled from finally understanding I’ll never fully understand poker😅
"MyPokerCoaching" is this guy in youtube copying your content? If he is you should report him. If its your other account etc then I don't have anything else to say that good video!
whether his bluff on river (if he even thinks it is, very possible his lack of poker experience leads him to think otherwise) is good or not would be the times his hand is actually good + the % of the time she folds to be 21.18% of the time or not. at her SPR she should have a good chunk of an ace or flush or boat a good chunk of the time on that river (one might say that a lot of the hands that make boats by the river were preflop shoves, and for many players that is true, but she checked back aq with 10 bb's pre, so she definitely can have a lot of rivered boats, mostly j10, qj, but kj should exist in there too) that at some % get to this river in this way. from her perspective after his bet only needs to tie or win 17.4% of the time, and is playing against somebody who might have no idea what he's doing in a tourney with crazy fast blinds where she already put in 6.5 bb's out of 11 to start the hand. i mean if he showed up with say j6 suited would anybody be surprised? not after seeing this one. she can't fold against a player like this.
Everyone at this table.
Watching the play in this hand makes me feel like a pro by comparison. 😁
Ah, I reckon that low straight against a tight player was a 'heroic' shove by Engelland at the time. But also a preflop mistake by Botez. AQ isn't AA or KK, so being clever & slow playing it with 10bb seems dodgy. On the turn, Engelland was stacked, so a shove there seems the go. Not sure why she didn't snap call the river either, hard to put E on a boat imo.
_Good timing! It's 0300 Saturday in Queensland. Just got home from a hard-earned 3rd [& can't sleep! =)]_
You don't wanna go 4 ways with AA or KK too. You can make it 3bbs instead of shoving I guess in that game.
I'd love to have Mike Sexton and Doyle at the table just for the old school stories.
Watching the play here reminds me of opponents I encounter at the WSOP--only it's a tableful of LPPs rather than one or two in the early rounds, along with fair tournament players and pros.
As an aside: Alexandra Botez is by no means a top-class chess player. Even in a women-only event, she would get slaughtered by the grandmasters and IMs.
Or Engelland thought his straight was good. Happens a lot with Rec players have a low end straight and think they’re good.
How did Jose Canseco make that?
The thing you see with amateurs is a reluctance to go all in despite it being the right play. They don't want to bust. Even somebody who should know better like Alex won't put it all in pre-flop or on the turn.
They also don't know what the right play is...
hanks when he bets the river says "will this work, it looks like he's repping a boat now", umm no, she enters the river with 4.5 blinds, started the hand with 10 blinds, even at high level poker standards (the shows he usually is commentating), he does not, nor shouldn't, need a boat to be making this 4.5 bb river bet. he's lucky she's even here thinking of folding at all after already putting in 5.5 bb's of her 10 she started the hand with.
W.C. Fields - but keep a sharp eye on him!
I'd play any dead celebrity they'd blind out giving me the W!! Lol also I watched a vid on RUclips about your upbringing and poker beginning etc. very cool watch would recommend to subscribers of this channel
What happened to poker etiquette? In regards to the clown looking at someone else's hand, HCL's bad etiquette seems to be spreading unfortunately.
He also coached her to call when she was gonna fold 😢 wth
Please don’t show this type of bizarro poker
Star Trek Data chose Eisnstein, Newton and Hawking.
Urgh, wish I could play in these games, quite fancy an early retirement…
The title or conclusion of this video is wrong - HUGH BLUNDER - should he have done it? "A reluctant yes".
He shouldn't of been in that situation in the first place, he made 3 'blunders' to a point of no return
There were BLUNDERS galore on that hand, did you watch the same hand as the rest of us???
that's the first time i've seen alex play a hand terribly
What are the payouts for this tournament
Maybe Alex didn't want to risk busting with Wolanski on 3/4 of a blind
Plus she probably has a post flop edge against these players
About 90% of these celebrities would be fine by me. After a casual watch of Celebrity Poker on Wednesday night, I witnessed the chip leader at the feature table ask if Q-K-A-2-3 was a legal straight. With that in mind, I would probably be knocked out early after being "rivered" by the small blind holding 7-2 offsuit. 😛
It’s pronounced EN~GE~LLAND Senor Poquito!!😂♠️
If i would be able to play a celebrity table, ya why not ?, but definately without chess masters ;)
All four Phils (Ivey, Hellmuth, Laak, Dr.) Negreanu, Lex Veldhuis, Fedor Holz, Ren Lin, Greg Goes All In 🎉🎉💸💸
Dr Phil hahahhaha
He would get crushed in that line up 😂
Yeah shove all in but one clown limped with QQ’s smfh. But he was punished later on. 😂😂
Usually Botez is the prettiest person at the table.. in the building for that matter. She’s like 9th prettiest at this table.
I had AA once in the money with 16bb. I raised 2.2 bb tot called by K3 went all in on K3T flop and lost. Should I have gone all in preflop?
No
hi jon- i say again u played good recent- u ask what celebs i would play against? there is a lesson> pick your table so- i dont know i think someone what dont know how to play> marilyn monroe?- so jon i live in an abusive situation- the cops around me wont let me compete- my world is a false front computer- IF U LET ME?- i havent played or anything for ten years i need to refresh but i need to refresh with the book i started with- someone asked your same question recent and i replied from memory> opie- but now i have a problem of- i dont remember who opie is- eric siedel- o wow i think of people from ten years- phil helmuth- i wanted to say at him> "all your money"- pham locke drrr lam jon ivey madisow- hi jon there is 10- "man- u got no respect"- so yeah after some consideration i still think> opie- but- i also still not remembering exactly who that is- keanu
not sure if this game of recreationals or literal newbies playing poker for the first time needs a deep analysis lol AQ 10bb vs rec limpers = SHOVE video done
first off, i doubt anybody but maybe hockey fights enthusiasts would ever once consider d.engelland a "hockey legend" he was a goon only. pretty sure at 20bb's not raising in some fashion from 3 limps to your big blind is quite bad, and botez this isn't her first day playing poker by now, should know that. this is even before she also learns that her opponents (appear here anyway) to not be tenured poker players, i.e. they want to limp all sorts of garbage. i'm also guessing (i don't know the blind structure at all in this celebrity tourney, pretty sure the WPT's celebrity invite tourneys had the worst blind structures of any WPT events) this tourney has a bad blind structure. that even MORE incentivizes just picking up those limps, a shove easily does that most of the time. hell if these players are bad enough her rate of being called probably goes up too, even with the hands she completely dominates.
nevermind, i misheard/misread, she only has 10bb more to start this hand, that's obscene to not raise/shove here pre, and unless she's ONLY studied/played cash hold em (which there are hours by now of evidence she has) and literally zero tourneys played in nor studied for, would know this.
i mean just this one hand here, if it was played in a free/bar league hold em super fast blinds tourney, the regs would know these people simply don't play (maybe ever) hold em tourneys after they saw this hand.
What’s up with the listed 4-way flop equities? They don’t even close to add up to 100% looks to me like England has way more equity than 37%. And the A8 doesn’t have ZERO… then after the A8o folds, they’re STILL wrong with AQ listed as higher than K9??
because of chops
@@piggy4651 chops still allow the equities to add up to 100…
They didn’t add up to 100 - it’s totally messed up
It shows the win equities only. Not win+chop
World class chess player?
I think this analysis is giving him way too much credit. He isn't thinking about blockers. He bet so quickly on that river. So bluffy.
Celebrity invitational. I loled. Who the f are these newbies?
botez always does well in thee things.
Never under estimate Professionals even chess game against human still day playing a strategy that on the computer just taking shortcuts in a poker game everything is live on this your forget someone still live professional back there🎉
Martha Stewart-ded
Norm MACdonald
Based on this clip I’ll sit at this table please
Who's pokergo gumboy? He's acting strange.
Botez got maximum amount of money out of this hand. So it worked out lol
I think it is hilarious you are talking about a thought process with these really poor players who are not thinking at all about anything much I would guess?
No way they limp w pair kk 10s etc
Stu Ungar
How does that guy get to coach her into a call and not loose teeth?
Celebrities?
Kobe, Ye, Michael Jackson, Tiger Woods, Floyd Mayweather, Magic Johnson, Phil Ivey & Tom Brady .. would be my table of celebrities.
The guy trying to take an obvious look at her hand is kind of a scum bag for doing that. If you can sit in your seat without making an obvious effort to see a players cards and can still see them then fine i guess. Your morals are your morals. But to make such an effort is in bad form and kind of scummy. At any rate botez slapped her cards down as soon as she saw him lean back. Lol😂
The problem with YOU analyzing this is ridiculous. You'd have better luck with crotch theory optimal at this table over trying to break down these hands with standard play or gto. Botez usually plays great, or at least solid. But when you play with people who don't know what there doing, and they are literally limping, and then flatting preflop with pocket aces all before the flop, last to act 5 ways...you start to play that shit limp, flat, lazy ok...let's all see the flop. There's just no point in trying to break these hands down. Your better off breaking down bingo. He certainly wasn't bluffing, who knows if he knew he had a straight let alone an ace and a 9 make a straight lol
Where were the celebrities?
Worst video ive seen in this channel
Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris and Hilary Clinton (on tilt).
can’t stand the botez sisters
“World class chess player” her rating is 2100 at best. She is a good chess player should be more accurate
