This was an amazing hand and Hank will be remembered for a long time for this one. I had never seen Hank and no one seen this hand coming. Tom said he had played with him many times and hadn’t seen him bluff. GG Hank
This was one of the most interesting hands ever. The tightest player pulling the most insane bluff in the most insane spot. Finding the spot based off of the most important blocker possible. Genius, Insane. It’s a very thin line.
J 10 diamonds are the straights that continue. So he is blocking the nuts by 100 percent. Then the straight on the board also may make some sets to fold. Very intelligent bluff. Will work more often than 5/1.
Maniac ??? Change this title please. This is one of the gutsy bluffs that I have ever seen and takes a lot of guts to pull this off. But in the end, Doug left it to luck in deciding a call or fold. I wonder what if Ah came instead of As.
tf r u talking about. you're not even a millionaire and yet you saying those bullsh*ts. eric persson can do those bluffs. because theyre rich asf and that 737k bluff from hanks is just some of you's can never do and never will cause ur just an average poker player and an average person. what r u compared to hank lol. truth hurts
Both played perfectly. With AA against a polar range, Doug’s strategy to call 1/4 puts ev for Hank to polarize bluff exactly at 0(win 330k at 3/4 + lose 930k at 1/4)
Seems to me like he wins 675k when doug folds, because all the money thats gone in before the river is a sunk cost. So its +675 3/4, and -950k 1/4... But its not that simple, the problem with dougs fold is that AA is near the top of his range, only QQ is better.
@@davids4063 As Doug said in the video, AQ (and KQ) is actually better because it blocks Hanks' most obvious value holding of QQ. The problem with AQ is whether Doug really bets 200k on the river with it or not but based on what he said in the video it sounds like he would. So Doug has QQ, 88, AQ *then* AA in his value range as played, we can exclude KQs because it doesn't sound like Doug would bet that much on the river with it.
Hank's session was the microcosm of a poker player's career He went to the highest of highs to the lowest of low.... what rollercoaster of hell session.
to me it very much looks like Doug is not playing for his own money. The way he plays and the way he acts points in the direction that he is fully staked.
correct me if I'm wrong... but the entire million-dollar weekend, at no point did someone go all-in on the river for half a mill or more and actually have it... each and every time it was a bluff... rampage, hank, wes, etc...
Hank said he was trying to rep J10d but his line on the turn then doesn’t make much sense - that’s a fold to Doug’s sizing, especially since even if he were to hit a diamond on the river he’d only have the Jack high flush. I think Doug was more worried about pocket Queens, which would be a more convincing line. So Hank didn’t really know what he was doing here.
Yeah, a methodical maniac.. that's a fun table. good to see doug being a good sport. I thought Doug will call.. never expected Doug will fold. Extremely hard to call such large bets with one pair. Great play by both players. Great river card for Hank..
And if he had the nuts and he called you would’ve said “that’s a bad call”. In this situations a fold is almost always better. Almost no one has the balls to make river bets live. And for 1M even rarely
I dont understand the players who lead out sizeable on the river and then tank if they get tested as if the possibility of getting raised on the river wasn't there in your head when you were betting 200k? but hey lets play Eeny, meeny, miny, moe to make our decisions
From polks perspective the realistic hand he would have lost to us only jack 10, when you couple that with how long it took Hank to think (which means he doesnt have jack 10) he should have come to the conclusion to call just my thought process
they shouldn't allow the pros to show their hands to get a reaction. showing the hand t give them a lot of pressure, and you can get a much easier read on . nice job hank
I love this move J10d would play this way and it was on Doug's mind. blocking the Jd makes this a superb spot. I would have hated to be in Doug's shoes there, his Aces become a bluff catcher.
What I hate about this play is Doug leaving the 25% up to pure chance. How bout looking at your opponents and decide for yourself if you want to call or not?? Knowing that you should theoretically call 25% of the time. But player poker for gods sake this isn’t some online crap
Absolutely hate this 200k bet by Doug. It's completely transparent, he's clearly making a bet that basically no matter what, he has to fold to a jam. It's just small enough to insure that he can fold with some equity, Hank got that read and that's why he jammed. Doug needs a lot more time in these nosebleeds, he came in with a poor attitude of wanting to "push it" with a huge stack. Bad combination of factors. He doesn't know this player, or his net worth at all. I truly see no other hand he could have that would beat you there, other than J-10 diamond, or QQ. Possibly some crazy Q-9 (very unlikely). Most likely QQ. If he doesn't put him on specifically that he should call.
Time to learn more theory. 200k is fine. 1/2 pot is better. And you should only fold 50% of the time to a shove here. Doug decided to fold 75%....so that's very close for an on the spot decision.
@@HAHAUEFADRID he induced a bluff, not so much a shove, with a 1/3 bet you can fold easily or call a reraise, with his river bet size he created drama and only had one pair
Both these players faces gave away their hands, I know I might be biased because I knew what they had, I'd like to see them live, I've noticed Doug's tells in a couple videos lol
The only thing he could of had was a set but if he had a set he would of re popped it on the turn wen the second diamond rolled off nothing else he could of had sometimes u just gotta say if he got it u got it 100% dwan calls in this situation
Doug got blindsided with the amount and didn't focus on the cards itself on the board he had AA and there was no straight or flush to be worried and the chances of playing does low cards to be paired was not probable he should of called. With AA the board had a Q only just bet
I’ve noticed Doug does this, drinks water when he bluffs, seems like a lot of people do it too, watch next time u see someone bluff if they drink water
Such a tough decision. The board is dry enough on the river that Doug actually beats certain hands that Hank could semi-bluff with thinking he is best, like AQ, JJs, or obviously the complete bluffs like busted diamonds draw (like Hank had). Of course, there's the chance Hank has a set, the straight is extremely unlikely (how do you call the flop and the turn with 10J?). I don't know anything about Hank's player type, if he is a more aggressive and loose type of player, than I think I call here almost always. Instead, if he is much more tight, I could respect a set. Another thing is that Hank could attempt to slow play Kings here, both preflop and post flop al the way to the river. In any case, Doug gets 2:1 for the call and I think he is more likely to be ahead of more hands than not. I'd call there, but of course the knowledge of whole cards + not being my own money is definitely making this decision much easier.
He was representing J10 diamonds and was holding J of diamonds; or he could rep a set, but sets would likely not call on the turn given the extra diamond to force out flushes. Polarized between busted diamonds and that.
The scream at 9:23 😂😂😂☠️
And commentator's laugh gets me every time
I can rewatch this all day

@@cial67 not really arnt the odds like %46 %54 on a all in. %54 being dwan
Ummmm Doug is much worse player than dwan
Then he loses a massive pot back to Wesley
Durrrr is a different beast though can’t really compare the 2
The ongoing "doom-zoom" of LSG Hank when he kept falling asleep was hilarious. Cameraman was taking the absolute piss out of him!
On which minute IS IT?

Genius, Insane.
It’s a very thin line.
Doug is my favorite poker player now, the most chill guy ever even when he is down.
Doug is a bitter, mean person who openly attacks other players. He is not a good person and he certainly is renowned for not being chill.
@@compscilaw i now agree with you after watching a few more of his poker blog

Hank's bluff made complete sense - this was a well played hand by both players IMO.
Lol your funny
@@robertverwijs2879 lol IKR?
I can see 1M means a lot to Doug, but apprently nothing to Hank.
Nah he was randomizing….he even stated it out loud.
5:40 great to hear a dealer actually control the game vocally and sternly
she's the best
Lauren is a sexy woman
She controls the table well 😍
She only control the table becuz Ryan was yelling in her ear ... normal big game ... wesley would totally be the one picking the card
This is how you do it, Wesley should take notes on how to position your body. Hank is a beast.

cmon bro he shoved all in as a greedy bluff, it wasn't artistry.
These numbers might be "right" to you, but they're missing a basic point
Hank's session was the microcosm of a poker player's career
He went to the highest of highs to the lowest of low....
what rollercoaster of hell session.
Hank folded AJ off suit right on the next hand. He was holding on to that highest of high for as long as he could! 🤣🤣🤣
If they let Wesley make the first pick he would have had A heart
5:25 I appaciate Nik helping dealer with chips that's a big pot.
Hank's celebratory scream is beautiful.
50/50. Maniac was sweating balls 😂
One of the best hands on HCL so far
13:02 .... what happened to the "English only at the table" rule?
Obviously when a million is on the line, it influences the decision, but this is 100% a call in any other lower stake.
😂😂
No its not. You have no idea what your talking about homie
Tom Dwan has already made more in 1 night then Garret did his whole career. Smh
This stream was so epic
to me it very much looks like Doug is not playing for his own money. The way he plays and the way he acts points in the direction that he is fully staked.
9:23 MRW the wife says, "Actually, honey, you're right. I was wrong"
Was doug worried about losing to Q-8 or Q-9 two pair hands?
I doubt hank would’ve called a 3bet preflop with those hands; he’s mostly worried about J10 maybe QQ
6:36 Doug literally called it out "turned something into a bluff" with the diamond flush draw not completing on the river
how long did this game go for, or is it still going?
As much as most viewers can't stand airball if he sees you do a major bluff he almost always gives a ton of respect.
Gotta check that river, Dougie. Then you can just call a $200K bet and pay off sets but catch some bluffs.
Hank shrieks like a a freaking rainbow bright 😂
correct me if I'm wrong... but the entire million-dollar weekend, at no point did someone go all-in on the river for half a mill or more and actually have it... each and every time it was a bluff... rampage, hank, wes, etc...
poker cash games arnt all in on the flop like you see at tourneys these things happen
Wesley jammed like 600k on the river vs hank when he had trip 7s
I really thought Doug was about to call
The long tank to ship makes his hand seem weak
use the pointing finger to chip shuffle (not the middle finger), looks better
Showing cards before making decision that is pressure(checking his reaction) on the player, it is forbidden
I want to say a massive shout out for the supreme leader Doug Polk. All class.
mannn watching this I was surprised Doug folded even though he was set to win! the little 50-50 thing he did when he flipped the Ace
Hank said he was trying to rep J10d but his line on the turn then doesn’t make much sense - that’s a fold to Doug’s sizing, especially since even if he were to hit a diamond on the river he’d only have the Jack high flush. I think Doug was more worried about pocket Queens, which would be a more convincing line. So Hank didn’t really know what he was doing here.
Doug gets lucky at the lodge with his “strategy” but not at HCL 😂
Playing poker at high stakes is such a different experience than it is sitting down at a $1/$2, $1/$3, or even $2/$5….I love it 😅
Yeah, a methodical maniac.. that's a fun table. good to see doug being a good sport. I thought Doug will call.. never expected Doug will fold. Extremely hard to call such large bets with one pair. Great play by both players. Great river card for Hank..
when the bluff gets through theyre a genius. when they get called they are the worst player in history.
Doug wanted to fold the whole time. He is not ready for these big boy pots
Solver folds 50%......so, he was very close to perfect. He decided to fold 75%.
And if he had the nuts and he called you would’ve said “that’s a bad call”.
In this situations a fold is almost always better. Almost no one has the balls to make river bets live. And for 1M even rarely
@@Solving_Live_Poker Yes sure. You def solved a 3 blind ante ring game hand 1k bb deep. Good for you.
You should use this type of title for every video since it doesnt expose the hands and who won the pot
When Frank went all in and crossed his arms that was the tell… i wouldve called him for sure with AA
Frank wasn't there.
10:30 Airball saying 牛逼 hahahaha
I love airball’s reaction lol 😂
I dont understand the players who lead out sizeable on the river
and then tank if they get tested
as if the possibility of getting raised on the river wasn't there in your head when you were betting 200k?
but hey lets play Eeny, meeny, miny, moe to make our decisions
check call river is a standard move,Doug is a bit greedy with that value bet which put him in a tough spot
Hard to call there with just a pair
Massive over bet
I think better for DP to check turn and call any pot bet on River
How to call j10 on the flop, not a sizing its a easy call
“Doug’s going huge”. Literally bet like 80 percent only lol
From polks perspective the realistic hand he would have lost to us only jack 10, when you couple that with how long it took Hank to think (which means he doesnt have jack 10) he should have come to the conclusion to call just my thought process
they shouldn't allow the pros to show their hands to get a reaction. showing the hand t give them a lot of pressure, and you can get a much easier read on . nice job hank

yea but he couldnt get a read an was scared he was envisioning j10d in mind an yea. games about decepetion
Honestly this isn't a movie leaving it up to chance to fold or call.
Cant believe Doug folded the Aces 😵

That's a fold on the flop.
The only thing he could of had was a set but if he had a set he would of re popped it on the turn wen the second diamond rolled off nothing else he could of had sometimes u just gotta say if he got it u got it 100% dwan calls in this situation
I’ve seen enough. I love Doug. He’s a class act. But I will watch him for entertainment and good poker hands. Not for analyzing the game..
Hank isn't a maniac, that's why this was so tough call. It seems that every time Doug does the card thing, he picks the wrong card.
Weasley should not be so nosy
If Doug would just concentrate more and ask and answer all the questions in his mind he probably would've won this hand.
You could always make up an excuse with hindsight somehow
No that’s tough spot definite fold most of the time
GOOD Hand Great Play Great Bluff. I do wonder if Polk would have called if the stakes were smaller.!??!. Maybe?
Doug got blindsided with the amount and didn't focus on the cards itself on the board he had AA and there was no straight or flush to be worried and the chances of playing does low cards to be paired was not probable he should of called. With AA the board had a Q only just bet
you have to understand polks buy in is not all his, so that is also involved in his decision.... Hanks money is all his
When you start the hand with 100-200 bb it is an easy call on the river as long villian is not a nit. But that deep i cant blame him for folding AA.
It’s a set or I guess 10J and he floated the turn? I mean I’d assume he must have a set I guess. So much money. Man that’s rough.
*floated the flop I meant. Oh right AQ of diamonds is the only hand I’d think he’d have that I could beat in Doug’s position.
what hand ca he represent? I can only think of QQ
he was mentally going j10d
This bluff is not advised vs your average rec 😂
Their big blind is about 20 times the usual buy in value for my games.
Their buy in is about 20000 times the usual buy in for my games.
Why is AQ better to have than AA
AQ blocks two pair and set of Q's.
I’d like to have seen how that would have turned out if he pulled that bluff against Tom Dwan with pocket Aces.
He lost a huge pot to Wesley yesterday. Probably why he plays like this!
This hand made the difference in Doug’s session if wins this the night would have gone totally different for him. Not such a big loss
I’ve noticed Doug does this, drinks water when he bluffs, seems like a lot of people do it too, watch next time u see someone bluff if they drink water

Yea, Hank didn’t know what he was doing. Said he was repping J10d but as you say that hand basically never takes that line, esp on the turn.
what did Polk put him on? Trip Queens? I really don't believe Hank would have 10/J of diamonds there.
The way he played more like LSG Tank, amirite?
Just before I saw this video I made a comment yesterday on Doug being a bad poker player, this just proved my point.
Wow Doug, don’t decide like that!
Wesley so excited to pick card then gets blocked. Poor Wes 😢
“My story .. 10 jack diamond” 😂😂😂 I love playing with Asians
I really thought Doug had talked himself into a call ,handled it like a champ tho .
wait hank he say he thought he have 10-and jack diamand lol?
Wesley’s mad the attention is off of him😂
actually the desicion of doug, in a coinflip, make the bluffer lucky...
Not sure what he was repping in that board and run out... only a set and nothing else , thought Doug was going to call
He was representing J10 diamonds and was holding J of diamonds; or he could rep a set, but sets would likely not call on the turn given the extra diamond to force out flushes. Polarized between busted diamonds and that.
Doug copies Tom Dwans chip shuffle 😂
The dealer is alright looking 🙂
