@@dnx112 he's not a good player at all but he was good at tilting people. He got extremely lucky but his table talk was very entertaining. I'm actually very happy that he won.
Probably the most fun to watch home stretch of the Main Event because of all the creative talking. It just made a completely unique flavor, it wasn't JUST about the cards or the game theory.
I've never understood the dislike some have for Jamie; the guy went on an iconic run that drew a lot of new players to the game. He wasn't the greatest player of all time, but did he ever claim to be? All and all he seems like a nice guy, hope he has success in the future, be it poker or other fields.
I agree. Previously, I was one of those persons who disliked Jamie Gold, too, mostly because of the incessant banter. But, I've actually grown to like him--he made for a more entertaining final table. Like Norman Chad kept saying: he would tell people he had the nuts and they would call; he would tell them he's basically bluffing and they'd fold. He was very good at playing the mind game with his opponents. He was also very effective at bullying everyone around with his massive chip lead. All in all, he really isn't as bad a person (or poker player) as many make him out to be. On the last hand he even admitted he was kind of being a dick to Wasicka with that comment. His analysis of the final table was very entertaining and informative. Watching this video brings back many good memories...I miss the "good 'ole days" of poker of the early to mid-2000s. I used to play all the time online with my younger brother on the freerolls on Full Tilt Poker.
Aside from the fact he tried to scam his own friend who went in half with Jamie (5k each) and agreed to half his winnings and when Jamie won he tried to not pay up, and had to take him to court and settled out of court, the shitty things he'd say at the table (after 06) his outburst on HSP against Sam Farha when he had KK and Farha had AA.... the clear collusion that happened during this tournament against one of his friends with the infamous "top/top..I thought you said chop/chop" LMAO the guy is an inherent douche... that might explain why a lot of ppl hate him but I dont think hes the worst WSOP champ like many say

Jamie commentating: "I just knew he had the 78, I didn't know if it was suited or not... but what else could he have?" Jamie at the table: "Paul you didn't have the best hand did you?"
The commentators are terrible these days. Part of the rise of the poker boom in the early-mid 00’s was because of commentators like Mike Sexton, Vince Van Partton, Gabe Kaplin, etc. They explained what was going on on a level that would draw viewers in, creating new players as a result. Starting 10 plus years ago, the guys commentating sound like aeriodite stuck ups.
as you said as much as people hate on him, its really incredible to watch he knocks player after player after player for days straight . Not to mention he held his own against Allen , Jamie owned that final table .
It's not easy keeping a chip lead; novice players tend to piss their chips away. Credit to Gold for the win. His greatest strength was players not knowing his style; but, the pros quickly learned it after this tourney.
The dude had the greatest sunrun in the history of poker. He had cooler after cooler after cooler. It was that simple. There are hundreds of players with his hands in those 6 days that would have won with his hands. It’s why he hasn’t done shit since.
@@timcarter817 he would get destroyed in a cash game all day long and twice on Sunday. Tournaments require little skill to win. I was actually very happy Jamie won, he put on a hell of a show.
Jamie was very entertaining! He was the right type of player for the hands he was getting... He never really did anything idiotic, fot out of line, or tried to make hero calls... He was able to raise with premium hands and hit them, then he'd play a 78, J-10, KJ for moderately afforable and hit it... He never let off the gas and tried to coast into the top 27, top 18, never tried to coast into the final table, or up any ladder... He had a dominate chip stack and used that incredibly creatively to keep building... Honestly if each ladder step after 20 is worth the equivent of a major tournament win, its not easy getting into hands with Jamie when you are in 7th chip position with 25 players left... Everybody knew he was calling bets with J-9, 5-8, any pocket pair, 3-6 suited... It would have been very tough putting him on hands, and everybody knows that guy on a particular day or week who is hitting everything! If you are 5th in chip position with 14 players left with AA, and the flop is 8-9- J and you have AA, and Jamie raises you All-in after your flop bet, its not easy to call... Especially with 3 or 4 very short stacks... Even if he shows you 8-10, or even or a 4 flush draw with 4-7. You could easily wait out 3 eliminations for an extra $400,000-$500,000... I played in the Main in 2005, and a few other events. Got 2nd in event #36 in 2005 to Todd Whittles, won the LA Poker Derby in 2006, and 05 $1000 event made the final 2 tables and got eliminated on a crazy bad beat, and the one thing you have to understand in those tournaments is 'What these players financial situation are'.... The bad beat- I 3 bet pre with 99 middle position, a guy tanked, called, original raiser called flop came 6s 7s 8s, I had 2 black 9's (overpair and straight flush draw) original better bet out very light, I went all-in, the middle aged man tanked, from the beginning I put him on 10-10, A-Q, AJ, or A-10 suited (it was played different back then) he tanked and tanked, I was sure he had 10-10 or A Q with the spade. He called, original better folded, I said "10-10?" spade? He confidently flipped over J-7 diamonds... before I could even process anything or what shape I was in, the turn was 7! I still had a straight and flush draw and a 9, I had 17 outs on the river... but I was in shock at the call pre, the call after the flop, the 7 turn, river was an ace... I would have had top 5 chip stack... Those are true bad beats... its not getting beat with AA vs QQ, the guy with QQ did everything right... The real bad beats are when a guy like Mr. J-7d should have folded even before a raise, 100% folded to a raise, and 100000% should have folded to a 3 bet... and 10000000% should have folded to a bet and then All-in after the 6s 7s 8s board with Jd-7d. I HAD A great run that 05 WSOP so I never lost sleep. 24 years old in the Coast Guard in Alaska, 16 days leave in Vegas, entry to the main, the 2nd day I get in my first WSOP event $3000 Limit, and get heads up for the bracelet down 250,000 to 950,000, get it to 600,000 before getting card dead and then sucked out on the final hand... Its heartbreaking, but that $179,000 they hand you is a great consolation prize.
Gotta give Gold Credit he didn’t really suck out but when his opponents missed Flops he he played him, Call Gold bad all you want but he outplayed a bunch of players.
Gregory Christie You must not know his whole story and how things went afterward....you may need to sit down to hear this, lol. I tip my hat to Jamie Gold for winning the WSOP....his ability to manipulate his opponents will never be duplicated.....mostly bc they changed the rules due to how effective a strategy it is.
I think this is (as of 2021) the largest tournament field of all time? And also possibly the most dominant tournament performance of all time? Insane to put on the best showing ever in the biggest tournament ever. Absolutely brilliant. Yeah he went downhill afterwards, but really there was nowhere else to go! Really subtle how perfectly he chose his words on that last hand. "If you don't have a queen then I got ya." On that flop that could easily mean Jamie has middle pair (8s) top kicker, leading wasicka to think his tens are in the lead.
All I know is that's a tough decision, it's a open ended straight flush draw, the biggest hand in poker on the biggest stage. I think you need to push it instead of calling off tournament life. So the way it was played I thought it was a good fold.
@@antk4189 yes but 1/ if binger AND him lose to gold he STILL gets second, 2. if he hits he is roughly even with Gold if not better and 3. so he wins 3.3 million instead of 6 who really cares...set for life if you manage your money well 4. if he hits and wins the tourn lifetime of free passes to all kinds of events...he was so confident he could beat gold headsup with *10%* of the chips, think if he had 50%! He is basically getting 4-1 (12Mill$ to 3Mill$) + WSOP ME champ and a lifetime of free tournaments...Bad fold
I was dying to see what Gold would say when that happened...very disappointed he just said 'That's true.' Also wanted to hear something about when he knocked out Lee Kort////////////////////////////
Jamie invented an entirely new branch of poker which relies on psychological supremacy. Anyone can learn GTO, but no-one can replicate Jamie's psychological mastery.
@@unnecessaryusername784 I think its a horrible fold considering Jamie gold was in there...you are way ahead of his hands , its never a fold. Its like saying "Good fold with that set."
If Wasicka calls the all-in, I'm pretty sure Binger folds (he went all-in after Wasicka folds), so Wasicka was not guaranteed 2nd place money. I would've called the straight flush draw, but Binger would've folded the hand if Wasicka called because he was 3rd in chips and if Wasicka gets knocked out, he would've been guaranteed 2nd place.
Pot odds alone say a 39% or higher chance is profitable, without all the rest of that stuff added in. I guess the real question is, "Was Alan in an A - x all-in spot?" And how much does Alan's superior poker knowledge and Jaime's stack size factor into those odds.
Listening to him talk like he’s actually good at poker is hilarious. He was as close to a movie script set deck as anyone I have ever seen. Just incredibly lucky in every critical pot
Epic final table! The champion's level of performance was off the charts. The remainder of the participants performed somehow solid. Interaction is impossible at the same time when you're playing (live) poker though i would be reluctant to interact with such a pot stirrer as Jamie Gold. It's an no brainer otherwise your stack will be ruined. I can still be respectful towards each opponent even though i'm ignoring him or her that stirs the pot! In which way did he go downhill?
The difference between 3rd and 2nd was several million dollars. He was meta gaming. At this point Gold had such a massive chip lead that he just wanted to get the extra money.
Wasicka should have thought about it. Only way he doesnt get 2nd place money is if Jamie beats his hand, but doesnt have enough to beat Binger. I guess you could fold. Jamie could have a weaker 10, wasicka mises his draw, but Binger triples up and Jamie takes side pot. As played only way Wasicka doesnt get 2nd place money is if Jamie were to have hit a 3 or a 4 for just a pair that hand. Binger wins main, Jamie wins side and knocks out Wasicks.
in the last hand wasicka never said all in or call. I think you talked me into it is not a call he accepted it anyway. would like to know the ruling on that one.
@@r.w.221 I played a lot of live poker i would never flip my card without say fold if its not a fold because if I flip without a word pretty sure it's a call
Question: I am at the Wynn and on the river I check to my opponent. He thinks for a minute and with a sigh and without saying a word pushes his cards forward and releases them to the dealer causing one card to flip and be exposed showing a nothing 4h. I had flopped a set with Kings. I think he has mucked his cards and I start to push my cards forward. Then the dealer grabs my cards and draws them forward and leaving opponent cards in the middle of the table and I say wait "he mucked his hand". The dealer thinks for a second and says no you mucked and the opponent had exposed his hand. I say no he mucked to you and in doing so flipped over only one card that appeared to be done accidentally. Dealer still has my cards under his fingers. I say flip my hand and he does showing the set. I said, "You should have taken his cards first". Dealer calls Floor and Floor listens to Dealer and gives the pot to opponent. Who was right? Was I scammed? Thanks
One day physics will explain how people are able to do things like this. Luck isn't what it seems. Is the collapse of a quantum superposition wave luck? No.
They have to pay alot of people and the casino takes a huge bite out of the prize pool. Vegas always wins. The players always lose in the long run it's called gambling
I still cannot believe Wasika dumped his Straight Flush draw on a three way all in. Man, you gotta forget the numbers sometimes if you want to be a legend.
Wouldn't Wasicka still have gotten second place money even if somehow JG won the hand? I mean what is Wasicka avoiding? He has to have a good chance to win the hand and if he doesn't and Gold wins he gets second place. He had Bing covered so he would still be there if Bing won. Right?
@@PoppysGuitar Bing wasn't committed all-in when it was Wasicka's turn to act. Bing called the all-in after Wasicka folded, so we wouldn't know if Binger would've called or not had Wasicka called.
doesn't really take skill to win..maybe 50% skill....if u get the cards and luck u can win WSOP like moneymaker or gold...i like how he talks them tho...interesting....him and tony G at the table would be great
7s8s hand....call that 100% with that chip stack. Worst case 2nd place $. Best case we don’t have a video of this guy. His explanations make no sense haha.
7:59 So many idiots saying Jamie got lucky, but he had a lot of bad beats in this tournament The truth is that Jamie's WSOP 2006 win was the most commanding and authoritative main event win of all-time. Jamie played the Main Event with total virtuosity. He barely made a mistake in 7 days
Jamie was an above average ballsy player, aggressive, the type of player that can make a deep run in a huge field... just not a guy that'll will ever be successful in a cash game. Cash game players will eat away at him with huge hands and slim value calls and bets.
I don't understand all this hero talk about Allen Cunningham. At times he played like shit against Jamie, he was very inconsistent. Ultimately Jamie crushed him, just like he did to the other 7,000 players.
You don't put him on a 10. and You don't put him on a set. Then your Paired Q on the end had to be good. You've basically put him on Air or a Jack according to your own commentary, but then you claim you don't want to bet the end because the only things he has beat you. Gold contradicts his own statements during the same hand several times.
@@HitokiriShaggyTTV Moneymaker lost his money but made it back through smart sponsorship...he also won a few tourney cashes. Gold went bust and never showed any skill ever after. Moneymaker>gold. But not by much.
I forgot all about Allen Cunningham. That was one of my favorite players back in this day. Jamie gold is by far the worst player to win the main, but this brings back some memories
@@johnspence8141 Jamie lost a lot of his money in legal battles... he only saw about half of that $12 million he won BEFORE taxes. He also lost a lot playing high stakes ..something Moneymaker never stepped into...had he..he would have lost same amount as Jamie. Neither one are good players but I've watched Moneymaker make some HORRENDOUS plays... not to say Gold hasnt either...
@@seankiesling2054 yep not saying that...Go look at Hendon mob...Gold is no where to be seen, Moneymaker has won some significant wins since WSOP. Anyone who wins $6 million and lose it in a delusional state of mind about your abilities in clearly documented episodes says you're a worse player than moneymaker. Moneymaker also lost his first purse, but he was smart enough to use the sponsorship to battle in more tournaments.
@@santaclause3487 2x back to back world champion sucks at poker, ok you obviously have no clue what you are talking about, and the year after he won it for the 2nd time he was runner up, yeah total sucker gtfoh
Not even remotely scummy. It's brilliant gamesmanship and part of what makes poker exciting and unique. Whiny babies like you ruin poker for everyone else
and yes he would get second place in Jamie knock them both out so yes it was a terrible lay dawn of coarse if i were playing for this kind of money i would just vet my pants )))

Unnecessary Username he might almost have to call that even if Jamie showed him a set, I think that may be one of the worst folds I’ve ever seen
If Wasicka calls the all-in, I'm pretty sure Binger folds (he went all-in after Wasicka folds), so Wasicka was not guaranteed 2nd place money. I would've called the straight flush draw, but Binger would've folded the hand if Wasicka called because he was 3rd in chips and if Wasicka gets knocked out, he would've been guaranteed 2nd place.
It never hurts to have
Johnny fucking Chan as a teacher and on your side
wonder what he got paid....
27:29 I can’t justify that call. 57%/43% is the best Jamie can be in that situation
Pot odds alone say a 39% or higher chance is profitable, without all the rest of that stuff added in. I guess the real question is, "Was Alan in an A - x all-in spot?" And how much does Alan's superior poker knowledge and Jaime's stack size factor into those odds.
did they seriously remove all the espn coverage of all the old main events? literally vanished from the internet.
PokerGo got it all.
Wasika calls that open-ended str8 flush draw, it's a different game!
Stephen Parkinson it was kinda dumb for him not to call when you think about it.
2 mistakes when it got shorthanded alan not calling wasikas all in and wasika not calling with straight flush draw
john Weller I`d say Allans raise with 10s is way worse than his fold to the 3b allin from Wasicka.
it was a horrible fold considering the situation.
He was waiting for a better spot. Flushes get counterfitted by a paired board constantly
Was Jamie Gold ever all-in for his tournament life???
I think he said he was once early in the tournament
Listening to him talk like he’s actually good at poker is hilarious. He was as close to a movie script set deck as anyone I have ever seen. Just incredibly lucky in every critical pot
💯. Human luck box. Tons of mistakes payed off with luck and he was ignorant with some of his table talk. Top top hand was just ridiculous
still dont know how wasicka folds here. literally cannot get much better spot ever.
34:20 Wasicka had no business folding that. WTF was he thinking?
All that money...gone. The entire LA game was based on Jamie Gold
At least he put it back into the poker community.
Wasika never says call on the last hand Jamie flips over his cards
Epic final table! The champion's level of performance was off the charts. The remainder of the participants performed somehow solid. Interaction is impossible at the same time when you're playing (live) poker though i would be reluctant to interact with such a pot stirrer as Jamie Gold. It's an no brainer otherwise your stack will be ruined. I can still be respectful towards each opponent even though i'm ignoring him or her that stirs the pot! In which way did he go downhill?
“How lucky am I”
Dude is broke LOL
dierks bentley
How can Paul fold open end straight flush at final tables when he had second in chips
The difference between 3rd and 2nd was several million dollars. He was meta gaming. At this point Gold had such a massive chip lead that he just wanted to get the extra money.
@@mattbenz99 people fold pocket aces preflop before a pay bump when that kind of money is on the line
Could have been 3rd place money. Good fold
It’s a bad fold
Jamie, don’t listen to the childish keyboard warriors. You’re awesome in every way possible.
Eating your food was like your dad
Jamie was so broke he took 100 bucks for this gig
lol
I will write his book for $300 and he can have half the profits. He is a sucker
Wasicka should have thought about it. Only way he doesnt get 2nd place money is if Jamie beats his hand, but doesnt have enough to beat Binger. I guess you could fold. Jamie could have a weaker 10, wasicka mises his draw, but Binger triples up and Jamie takes side pot. As played only way Wasicka doesnt get 2nd place money is if Jamie were to have hit a 3 or a 4 for just a pair that hand. Binger wins main, Jamie wins side and knocks out Wasicks.
in the last hand wasicka never said all in or call. I think you talked me into it is not a call he accepted it anyway. would like to know the ruling on that one.
I think if tour your hand without saying fold its a call
@@mathieucaron4990 I do not think this is true.
There is a rule called "accepted action"
@@r.w.221 I played a lot of live poker i would never flip my card without say fold if its not a fold because if I flip without a word pretty sure it's a call
Question: I am at the Wynn and on the river I check to my opponent. He thinks for a minute and with a sigh and without saying a word pushes his cards forward and releases them to the dealer causing one card to flip and be exposed showing a nothing 4h. I had flopped a set with Kings. I think he has mucked his cards and I start to push my cards forward. Then the dealer grabs my cards and draws them forward and leaving opponent cards in the middle of the table and I say wait "he mucked his hand". The dealer thinks for a second and says no you mucked and the opponent had exposed his hand. I say no he mucked to you and in doing so flipped over only one card that appeared to be done accidentally. Dealer still has my cards under his fingers. I say flip my hand and he does showing the set. I said, "You should have taken his cards first". Dealer calls Floor and Floor listens to Dealer and gives the pot to opponent. Who was right? Was I scammed? Thanks
Gold just hit all the hand he played simple is that and surprise surprise he won
I want to know why Jamie had to have bodyguards and security ??
he got some threats thrown his way.
Constable Dodo
Such as ? And why ?
Because he can't back up his mouth. If you dish it out you better be able to defend yourself.
@@adamirishconundrum851 ???
@@adamirishconundrum851 the guy won !
One day physics will explain how people are able to do things like this. Luck isn't what it seems. Is the collapse of a quantum superposition wave luck? No.
How is first only 12 million when the collected entry fees was almost 100 million, shouldn’t first have been at least 20%?
They pay out top 10% and u get at least 20k for min cash. A lot of tourneys do like 1.5 x min cash.
They have to pay alot of people and the casino takes a huge bite out of the prize pool. Vegas always wins. The players always lose in the long run it's called gambling
Did Jamie give Johnny chan any money for his tutoring and cheerleader i wondering
Idk if I would fold a straight flush draw for all my chips ...
That's why that would be the last hand you saw in the tournament
I still cannot believe Wasika dumped his Straight Flush draw on a three way all in. Man, you gotta forget the numbers sometimes if you want to be a legend.
Wouldn't Wasicka still have gotten second place money even if somehow JG won the hand? I mean what is Wasicka avoiding? He has to have a good chance to win the hand and if he doesn't and Gold wins he gets second place. He had Bing covered so he would still be there if Bing won. Right?
Yes. He blew it. 2nd place if he loses, triple up if he wins.
@@PoppysGuitar Bing wasn't committed all-in when it was Wasicka's turn to act. Bing called the all-in after Wasicka folded, so we wouldn't know if Binger would've called or not had Wasicka called.
doesn't really take skill to win..maybe 50% skill....if u get the cards and luck u can win WSOP like moneymaker or gold...i like how he talks them tho...interesting....him and tony G at the table would be great
7s8s hand....call that 100% with that chip stack. Worst case 2nd place $. Best case we don’t have a video of this guy. His explanations make no sense haha.
Ah, 2006: the year of the donkey.
2007 was worse lol Yang was by far worse than Gold
7:59 So many idiots saying Jamie got lucky, but he had a lot of bad beats in this tournament
The truth is that Jamie's WSOP 2006 win was the most commanding and authoritative main event win of all-time.
Jamie played the Main Event with total virtuosity. He barely made a mistake in 7 days
Worst case Wasicka would have gotten second regardless if he lost. With a draw like that you can’t get your money in any better on a flop like that.
Not if Binger wins the hand. He would be in bad shape.
Gambling all in on a draw is a losing predicament most of the time if the opponent has a hand.
after watched this I believe I can win wpt. any donkey can becomes a stallion.
That’s 2006 poker for you lol much much tougher today
Jamie was acting like if he lost the final hand he didn’t have 99% of the chips still left....
Jamie was an above average ballsy player, aggressive, the type of player that can make a deep run in a huge field... just not a guy that'll will ever be successful in a cash game. Cash game players will eat away at him with huge hands and slim value calls and bets.
He folded 78 spades to this fish, he deserved and was destined to lose.
县上邮局
I don't understand all this hero talk about Allen Cunningham. At times he played like shit against Jamie, he was very inconsistent.
Ultimately Jamie crushed him, just like he did to the other 7,000 players.
Wasica laying down straight flush draw man and he would win the hand and had a huge stack
You don't put him on a 10. and You don't put him on a set. Then your Paired Q on the end had to be good. You've basically put him on Air or a Jack according to your own commentary, but then you claim you don't want to bet the end because the only things he has beat you. Gold contradicts his own statements during the same hand several times.
so much more detail and enjoyment WITHOUT RR the Pokergo shill
The worst player to ever win a bracelet lol
Na the asian Christian guy
Jerry Yang
Yes Jerry F'ing Yang
No what about Varkoni
Lmao
@@39offsuit hardly the worst, just crazy tight back when that would pay off
Jamie Gold is tied for the biggest joke wsop champion along with moneymaker
Jerry Yang is far worse than moneymaker
Gold ran really good. Moneymaker got lucky. Gold>Moneymaker
@@HitokiriShaggyTTV Moneymaker lost his money but made it back through smart sponsorship...he also won a few tourney cashes. Gold went bust and never showed any skill ever after. Moneymaker>gold. But not by much.
Wasicka was badly outplayed by gold
I forgot all about Allen Cunningham. That was one of my favorite players back in this day. Jamie gold is by far the worst player to win the main, but this brings back some memories
Jerry Yang
Not even close... Yang and Moneymaker were easily the worst with Yang being the absolute worst
@@seankiesling2054 Gold lost all his money playing cash within 2 years...at least Moneymaker has won some tourneys (check hendon mob).
@@johnspence8141 Jamie lost a lot of his money in legal battles... he only saw about half of that $12 million he won BEFORE taxes.
He also lost a lot playing high stakes ..something Moneymaker never stepped into...had he..he would have lost same amount as Jamie. Neither one are good players but I've watched Moneymaker make some HORRENDOUS plays... not to say Gold hasnt either...
@@seankiesling2054 yep not saying that...Go look at Hendon mob...Gold is no where to be seen, Moneymaker has won some significant wins since WSOP.
Anyone who wins $6 million and lose it in a delusional state of mind about your abilities in clearly documented episodes says you're a worse player than moneymaker. Moneymaker also lost his first purse, but he was smart enough to use the sponsorship to battle in more tournaments.
Haha calling for a queen

Not even remotely scummy. It's brilliant gamesmanship and part of what makes poker exciting and unique.
