"you can win with grace, or you can do it this way." love that line
The one and only “Couch Slouch” Norman Chad
After watching this, I remember why I would watch TV poker all the time. So many great characters and the announcers were funny too!
Internet poker ruined it
Now it's full of weenie whiners that want to tattle on each other because someone hurt their itty bitty whittle feelings
I love how free the announcers feel. This always made watching more fun
@Bi-polar Bear twas the golden age of poker
Poker was awesome in the early 2000s
When poker was fun to watch.
Yeah I quit watching poker when they stopped getting drunk and yelling at each other, now I watch the kardashians, all the drama and none of the stupid cards!!!
What's missing now ??
@@pokerboy72 now it's just a bunch of gto nerds running charts through their brain. Good for them a computer is better than a human at poker but for tv entertainment purposes its very boring to watch.
Facts
@@pokerboy72 whats wrong?no one wants to watch a bunch of soulless awkward nerds playing poker on TV
when mike laughs at him for asking Mike if hes gonna fold, is GOLD!
You can't script his comic timing, the way he delivers the whole line with the laughing. It's one of my current favourite things on the whole of yt.
Agreed
I always found it hilarious how hes asking him that when he barely has a handful of chips and mike is sitting next to him with a huge chip stack.
It makes the whole thing 1000% better. The fight itself is just a fight but watching Sheikh's face turn red as Mike laughs at him is just gold. He was probably already on tilt with his short stack and Mike just sent him flying over the edge completely. Perfection.
Those were the best days of poker. Classic
I miss falling asleep to these reruns late at night.
So true....now it is just table after table of bland mathemeticians
Sheikhan literally sounded like he was gonna cry when quoting what Mike said.
He did not want to get punished for saying Fuck on the table maybe
He really did the big baby
Coat uncoat.
Well mike has actually cried multiple times will losing so suck on that buttercup
@@lafondawilliams Grow up
I rarely agree with the Mouth but Shiek was way out of line. He should get a 10 minute penalty mouth should get a warning for language and temper
@Little Oggie They're saying what they SHOULD'VE gotten.... learn how to read.
@Little Oggie And again you missed the point. We are very aware of the rules but quite honestly only a warning should've been given to Mike. You hear Phil Hellmuth swearing and cursing all the time and nothing ever happens to him. Not even warnings.
why? he didn't break any rules.
Yeah, the NBA will rescind technical fouls against players or coaches for yelling at the refs if it turns out the ref's call was wrong. Likewise Matusow should've been just given a warning since Sheikhan's behavior was wrong.
Why hasn't anyone made a meme of Mike saying nuts the second time
Matusow was totally right. Slamming the table tells every player where either the 8 or the Ace is.
You right sheik needs the penalty
The ironic thing is that Matusow was in a hand with Phil [edit: Phil Hellmuth] and some 3rd person (don't remember his name) a few years ago. Mike ended up folding and it went to the river, and the other person jammed against Phil when a flush landed on the river. Mike said, "that's why I folded and made a flush on the river", essentially telling Phil that two extra flush cards were dead. In fact, the player who jammed only had one flush card - it was a bluff.
Phil ended up folding but I would have been so mad if Phil had called due to the extra info. People suggested that Mike didn't do it on purpose, but this video makes it really clear that he knew exactly what he was doing.
I think Phil and Mike had pieces of each other - that type of collusion is just intolerable.
@@iamamish Phil who?
@@argonthesad hellmuth
It was on an old Poker Hands video on Polk’s channel
Me and my Dad use to always watch WSOP on the weekend back then.... Those were the best Poker days.
Matusow shouldn’t have gotten the same 10 minute penalty as Sheikhan if you ask me. I’d be pretty ticked off too if another player gave away some info to the hand in question.
IMO, he wouldn't had gotten any penalty if didn't throw out that "f" bomb.
It's specifically the f word is against the rules
Told him to shut the fuck up, so it was a good decision by the floor
Truth for sure but I dont think they allow you to tell anyone to "shut the "F" up" so thats why there was a penalty for both. Either way this rivalry is wild lol.
shit society that cant handle "fuck"
Sheik should've gotten a 20 minute penalty. He slammed the table and then turned around in his seat to talk about the hand with the gallery.
Totally agree. He got off lightly. Should've at least being a full round penalty. Depending on where the blinds were at that time it's possible he didn't lose any chips while on penalty.
@@XaviRonaldo0 He was definitely well out of line there. I guess as was Mike for dropping the F bomb but in terms of what was worse, 100% Sheik.
What is he saying to the crowd? I can't make it out
"well, you can win with grace, or you can win this way" 😂
Man went out like a whole seagull
2003-2009, when the WSOP ruled the world.
I don’t know why, but that “no I’m just gonna fold” scene makes me laugh hysterically every time.
lol it was a silly question, Mike would have had to be a real donk to fold to such an insignificant raise from Sheikhan.
These grown adults literally got a time out
Lol!!
Indeed, the wsop is so stupid 😅
The handshake/hug at the end is awesome.
Agreed.
We were living through poker history during those times
Nice nickname. LoL
Vid was great but it missed an epic hand between the two. It's the one where Sheikhan moves in, and Matusow just needles him for a few minutes by asking him if he wants action. When Sheikhan finally tells Mike that he wants action, Mike just folds immediately and laughs.
Haha yes!!! I remember that, it was hilarious.
At the end, after all the trash talk they still shook hands and gave each other a grudgingly pat on the back lol. These were the glory days of poker :)
This is great. Drama, Banter, Anger and they shake and hug at the end. Fair play
Yeah. Sportsmaship! ❤️
this was THE best era of poker(2003-2007)
Lol, the worst feeling, doubling up someone you're trying to knockout. Getting knocked out by someone you know is trying to eliminate you, even worse.
Mike had a ton of chips if I remember correctly. When you're the chip leader and you have a lot of short stacks and each higher place is worth so much more, you're gonna double them up sometimes. You don't even necessarily care if you're the favorite, you just care that their tournament life is on the line. Ofc you have to be a monster chip leader to play that way, but 7-2 beats aces sometimes. It narrows their ranges and forces them to only play monsters into you because they know they are getting called. This allows you to pick up the ever rising blinds and Antes, and occasionally pick off a small stack.
Love that Floorman. He handled it perfectly. Made it clear who is the boss.
Hes still bossing today. Ya love to see it
Should've been a more severe penalty on the Sheikh. Extremely inappropriate behaviour while the hand was still ongoing.
@@XaviRonaldo0 Mike's behaviour was even more inappropriate.
@@Mitjitsu he's not the one giving away hand info...
@@XaviRonaldo0 He spoke to him in a threatening and disrespectful manner, which could easily have escalated into physical violence.
Mike was mouthy as usual, but Sheiky was WAY out of line. Everyone knows that is super bad manner.
Dude, he was 1000% right to do so. Sheikahn is an asshole. Disgusting human being in general.
He just didn’t have to curse that’s it, the tirade wasn’t why he was penalized
@@mypud4068 what are you saying
Mike to Sheik after the knockout: "I wish you all the best"
2 seconds later, Mike to the floor: "Yeah he lasted way too long"
😂😂😂
That was the golden age of tv poker!
Mike was right, Sheik was way out of line.
You cant show frustration when ur short, make a tough fold and see u woulda flopped the nuts? Meanwhile the Mouth can run his mouth uninterrupted?
@@MacGovernor if doesn't affect the game, yes.
Poker was so much more fun back in the day.
Then the nerds took over.
That wink by Sheikhan was iconic
I miss this type of poker.
Just a huge ego battle lol
@5:38 he wasn't disappointed, he was happy his cards were live
Hey look, Iran and Israel are fighting again!
If only Israel could just win and tell Iran nuts...NUTS!!!
@@theTeflonDon1 I just came from the future to say that iran's president is "missing" and this is probably related to their crazy impulsive drone attack on israeli city.
1:01 lmao, this is gold!!! We need more matusow in live games, whoever broadcasts these should just stake him and let him keep half of what he wins. The ratings would be way up.
3:09
Love Phil Gordon's reaction.
Gave him the universal hands up "ok. Relax" sign lol 🙌🏼
It was more like the double-handed "No, No, No" gesture. Just go take ur penalty.
Sheik is the only player who's actually more annoying than Mike
he should be deported back to sucky Iran
Wow wow wow i bet lost disagree lmao
Prahlad Friedman would like to have a word.
Hellmuth is pretty annoying, how could you forget him?
@@mpup54 sheik is definitely more annoying than Phil. At least Phil is entertaining to watch when he has a meltdown
I can't stop watching this clip. Like when we were in junior high playing.
Good ole days of Poker when everyone had their own personailty. To see Poker on TV back then was like watching a movie, so entertaining. Now no one talks and it just feels dead lol
Yeah, they want it that way. Too bad! Not being allowed to even celebrate.
ESPN thought it was the POKER that was the catch, but it was the personalities. So now they are stuck airing dry poker. Im surprised the popularity hasnt tanked back down to where it was before the shows booms. Its not like poker is a new game or anything.
Golden days of poker.
Ah memories. The Degree All-In promo.
I lost it when they said “World Series of angry poker!” 🤣🤣
Just waiting for Matusow to yell "YUUUUUUPPPPP!!!"
I appreciate the storage war reference!
We had so many stars years ago in poker. Poker was amazing years ago with poker after dark and all
When is their heads up Match on poker feud going to be announced?
gotta love the Milwaukee's Best™ Pocket Came and Degree's™ All in moment
i love that they did hug after. that was cool
One of the best videos I've ever seen
Go to look videos with Tony g and Phil Hellmuth 😂
Oh man, your life sucks
@@sander5457 who knows you might be right
Man Mike the mouth, phil ivey, doyle brunson, patrik, esfandiari, tonyg, and unibomber, those were the days.
“NUTS!” 😂😂😂
“Ya let’s put poker behind a pay wall that sure will bring it back “
If enough people pay for it, like I do, there is enough production money available to make more hsp and pad seasons. So yeah, let’s hope it brings it back. Already did.
Playing poker isn’t free, nothing in life is. If you’re whining about not being able to afford a PokerGO membership then step your game up. Poker isn’t dead, and PokerGO premium vids behind a paywall has 0 impact on game profitability
@@pattylopez566 it’s pretty simple. How the heck do they get the new generation to play poker if all the entertaining parts of poker is behind a pay way. Sure people in our 30s + will play but that’s where it ends. The next generation won’t play cause they don’t know and they don’t know cause it’s behind a pay wall. It’s a old mans game to them so it will die off eventually because of this yes.
@@pattylopez566 any big game in any major sports gets broadcasted on locals for everyone to watch. It’s not about being able to afford or not, it’s that it’s a terrible business decision
Back in the day, the free shows would promote the online sites. Now, with WSOP and WPT being the only legal sites, someone has to pay for the shows. Yeah it sucks...tell your congressman to change it.
For all the verbals, Mike gave him a warm hug and well wishes right at the end, so credit where it's due. Stripey shirt does have such a slappable face.
He’s a paki. It comes naturally
Now that's a floor general lol
JohnnyAppleseed that's basically what he's saying 🤦♂️
@JohnnyAppleseed Agreed. Floor manager put 2 loudmouths in their place
JohnnyAppleseed are you for real? What do you think he means by that statement then? It's not rocket science for gods sake, what a dumb response 🤦♂️
@JohnnyAppleseed Your comment was pretty dumb to be fair. You are disagreeing with him and agreeing with him in the same sentence. It's not the fault of others that you don't understand words.
JohnnyAppleseed your one strange little boy, I think you just like to argue so you chime in with no sense responses just to get an argument from someone. You would argue black was white and shite is any colour.
The dealer and floor staff should have told Sheik to shut up. Mike did because they didn't do their job.
normal night. sheik drunk as a skunk, mike coked out of his mind ..the good ol days!
I lived and played there in those days...it was pure electric magic every day
Mr Sheikhan got away with a conviction for misdemeanor sexual battery on a child under 18...
Tells you something about the man’s moral compass..
Well he wasn't convicted, so it doesn't really tell you much. Unless you know something the jury/judge didn't.
@@JoeyRhubarb Bullshit..
‘Sheikhan was arrested at his Las Vegas home on August 30, 2007 for violating his immigration status due to a 1995 conviction for misdemeanor sexual battery on a child under 18, where he served nine months in prison and 5 years probation.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actively searches for foreign nationals who were convicted of a sexual crime against children and then tries to get them deported. He was detained on an immigration hold for 1 week facing deportation proceedings however those proceedings have been since halted.’
Matusow actually looks good in comparison to that fool.
Probably the most satisfying elimination in WSOP history.
Definitely the most satisfying elimination in WSOP history! :-Þ
Nah, that would be Justin Schwartz in the 2015 main event.
@@Moolers I think that one is a solid second from a piece of shit point of view,but I think this one wins because of Shawn's antics during play.
When poker was actually fun to watch.
Yea this is a classic now, helped with the poker boom i think
Nice officiating! No bullshit, I love it!
I believe I remember reading that Mike and Shawn were actually decent friends during these days and you can see at the end Mike gives him a hug and Shawn accepts it. I believe that they did all this just for the show. Also, I think Mike staked Shawn on a couple of occasions.
Yeah they were good friends. Shawn staked matusow on one of the seasons of high stakes poker. Matusow went broke bluffing into phil laaks flush and you can see how annoyed Shawn is in the background haha
Yeah Mike says "I was just having fun." Which hey, fair enough. Trash talking can be part of any competitive event.
Pokers still fun to watch.
Fun to watch.
Both of them are sooooo classy
This was awesome poker was great back then fun
Back when ESPN showed poker like it ought to be
A classic!
Now that’s what I call entertainment 😝
Best laugh of derision ever! 1:04
So crazy how you can literally see how bad Matusow got under Sheikhans skin...you could see his blood boiling and the steam coming out of his ears!!!
dude seriously, this is prime time poker
If I were the tournament official I would have given Sheikhan a 10 min penalty for starting it and affecting action. I would given Matusow a warning that he’s getting a 10 minute penalty the next time he curses or has an outburst.
This was when Poker was raw fun to watch
If I got to play with my dream table, these two would be there.
I’m surprising they actually hugged it out as hard as they did. That was a pretty tight squeeze! 😂😂😂
I think I saw a reach around and an offer of a happy ending later
@@mpup54 you have a filthy imagination sir.
Mike might be an idiot but he was completely right about Sheik slapping the table. That's completely out of line to give away any info about the cards you were holding. Total scumbag move when there's a hand going on
Only thing that can top this if Phil
Was there giving that classic stare back and fourth as the camera pans to
Him
“It’s now or never, Lalalalala” 😂😂
The good ole days
What year was this? Wanna re watch on pokergo
hard to believe these guys are actually friends away from the tables...
A classic
At least they shook hands at the end
The golden age of poker- I turned 21 around this time and card rooms were so packed you couldn't find a spot
They're both IMPOSSIBLE to root for...
Sheikhan was the worst. Wasn't he accused of being with a minor?
Team Matusow on this one all the way!
At least they hugged at the end 🙂
I remember i was in 7th grade watching this, i still remember this mike the mouth was the guy id always root for lol
This fight really started 5 thousand years ago.
Only thing we got like this now is Hellmuth and he’s just a hot head. We need some balls at the table
I literally grinned the whole time I watched
so entertaining
Classic Mike🤣🤣
i miss this era of wsop.. its gotten too big, hasnt been interesting in long time... miss this format..now its hard to even find the final table game, there isnt much characters like they used be (and noone famous or Pro Players we know are ever at the table ..! but yeah from 839 to 10k players over last 20 years of wsop... ive never understood why they never had a pro wsop game where its only recognized players.. they would do better in ratings...
Mikey was always the most entertaining player to watch!
Phil Helmuth? Lol
I was surprised when he knocked him out he didn't say ON YOUR BIKE
When poker was A LOT more fun! The crowd was insane, what an amazing experience that must of been. Everyone stop hating on Sheiky!
Love Sheiky! Always a great watch at the table. Currently watching High stakes poker season 3 him and Matusow are in it
Sheik reminds me of every angry player I ever deal cards too. Man I don't miss dealing cards🤣🤣
Amen brother
Bring poker back
so funny ty
The two most unlikeable players hahaha
The Mouth is a angel next to Shiek..that guy is very unlikeable
Sounds like they like mike
