Always feels great making a nice run when you are basically out with one blind. Congrats! I'm no professional and you probably know better then me but i probably would not have called with the K4 suited. As you said, people are mostly tighter there. Good thing it worked out in your favor!
The only real misstep was the AQ, also the 33 you busted on you coulda waited for a better spot for your tournament life but not being critical & you played quite well.
The greatest comeback in WSOP history belongs to Jack ‘Treetops’ Straus. On day 2 of the 1982 Main Event Straus shoved his entire stack, was called, and lost. But it wasn’t actually his entire stack. Unknown to Straus, he still had a $500 chip on the table which had been covered by a napkin. Since he had not announced ‘all-in’ when shoving his stack, he was able to continue playing. Straus took that 1 chip and went on to win the 1982 Main Event an coined the expression a chip and a chair.
Yep. He never said all in. Therefor his holdback chip they found under the ring pad, was never in play. He bet. Opponent called. Nobody ever said all in or call. So the chip was never committed technically. He rallied back from 1 chip. There was the line born of “a chip and a chair”
This was so refreshing: the explanation of hands, the show of the weaker plays and the thought put into every move. Not sure what your name is but well played, mate. I`ll follow you from now on, this content is pure gold.
I've been watching a lot of WSOP vlogs, and these are easily the best on youtube. The editing and camera work and graphics are a class above anything else.
@@randomname22223 he wasn’t wrong, I did just lost a 1.8 million chip pot literally the hand before that, but I was not steaming, that was a huge misrepresentation of the situation to better justify his play to himself and his audience.
I lost an all in and got up to leave, the dealer called me back because I had one single 500 chip remaining at the 1k 2k blind level... 45 minutes later I had 150k in the colossus
I love this because it reminds me of my 1st ever win in a low stakes tournament. I was doing well then lost a bad beat that left me with 1 BB. I was moved to another table at that time and these players were the big stacks. I slapped my 2 chips down as I sat and said "you guys are in trouble now." They chuckled a bit but I then proceeded to win the next 14 hands I played and the tournament.
B vs B u gotta shove the threes! One more flippy and you’re goin deep deep. I’ve watched every video you’ve posted in the last two years and it’s definitely improved my play. Thanks Kevin!
No u dont gotta do anything. U have to interpret from history and player type what such raise sizing might mean and if it means usually better pair which he isnt going to fold it is just a fold of 33
150 remaining in a 9k player field and 7BB already being in the middle before the 17bb shove. Implies the SB has no folds there basically thats why I wouldnt have shoved the 33 as youre almost always getting called.
Jack "Treetop" Strauss in the 1982 Main Event had The GREATEST Comeback in WSOP History. He shoved all his chips into the middle but did not call "All In". Upon losing the hand he stood up and collected his stuff and found a single T$500 chip in his drinks napkin. He sits back down and eventually wins the tournament. It wasn't as big entry-wise as this run, but there were not many 'nits' playing in 1982. I did something similar to win my first tournament at Cabazon near Palm Springs. It was a daily $130 buy-in. I was down to one T$500 chip when the BB was T$500 and we combined the final two tables to make the final nine. We redrew position and I am in the BB. A win in that hand with four other people gave me the start of building my stack. An hour or so later I won the tourney.
I agree that you have the best quality vlog it is like a movie. By having a camera crew at different angles makes you stand out from other vloggers, Everyone will have to step up their games. Ithe last hand with 33 I don't like going all in because it is just a flip but so dangerous. The amount the other player bet he is never folding your all in of course, but if those pocket 3s hold you would have looked like a genius and that how it is in poker. Keep up the high energy videos.
Reading the comments it’s clear most people enjoy your content. They like the explanations etc. my two cents worth? I like the speed of your vid. Keeps things moving without taking an eternity for each pot, and still includes enough explanation of your thinking and strategy. Bravo.
i cashed 3rd in what mustve been the biggest field of a sunday million to date at the time, an anniversary sunday million with about 18000 entrants at the end of '08 iirc, after being down to 1 bb halfway through the tourney. it can be done lol
This is a first video from you I watched after long time and its great! Btw BVB pocket threes I think we can rejam with 14bbs vs up to 3x raise but 4.2x is kind of commiting and I dont think we goona fold out many hands so I would lean towards folding, still great result and I wish you the best for next tournies!!
best quality vlog ive ever seen for poker. The 33 was weird though, hindsight great great great call. I would have folded every day since that bet is committing only b/c i think im dominated by every hand and best case is im 50/50
You played well Kevin. It does take some run good to come back from the dead like that, but it also takes patience and good decisions. Seems like you did both.
I think it was a great run and you did great with it, congrats. One thing I wanted to add, as far as last hand. At this stage of the tournament, 4 X the raise preflop means JJs or something like AK, since the guy wanted everyone to fold. If he was bluffing or playing something weaker, he would raise 2 - 2.5X. Maybe he wanted to ladder up, etc. My point is you went all in thinking he would fold, however if he does not - you are either way behind or at best it's a coin flip. You are never ahead, so to me - 33s is a fold at this stage of the tourney. Congrats again - great come back.
That 4:56 hand you bamboozled him into making that play with the weird non all in size on the turn hahah I think he thought he had a read that you were Uber weak to not just shove turn
My friend just did this in the colossus. He thought he was out and had 1 small blind (100k) and turned it from a min cash to 33rd place ($17580). At one point he had almost 20 million chips. The room was buzzing about it on day 3
The biggest comeback was when Jack Straus was "temporarily" knocked out of the 10,0/00 dollar championship event. Jack stood up and one chip was found under a napkin and he wAs allowed to play it which was the wrong ruling. Jack won the event 🏆
1. There are plenty of hands that beat 3s. 2. He totally had you covered. 3. Folding would have got you many blinds in the future. 4. Let them make mistakes. Leave room for others to rush and make mistakes. You had plenty of wiggle space.
Like on one hand, I understand why, but I’m also thinking of myself that you know you have an increased chance of flipping, might’ve been better to get to the flop. I don’t think against quality opponents you’re going to get away with that and yes, I understand you wanted a flip, but at the same time I want much better odds, which is why I like to call with small pairs and then adjust with Read from the flop
My only issue is your lead in photo was a click bait scam,... as I expected the WINNER of the tourney was making the comeback shown! Nice job though,... at SUCKING us all in! 🙂
Final hand: to me the x4.2 raise vs your stack is screaming “you have no fold equity!” With no possibility of fold, the 3s are at best a flip. Is this the spot you want to take with your 13BB stack?
Commend your comeback. Very legit ... Would have folded the 3s for a better position .Likely the blind v blind is high cards with lots more in the deck if its folded around. Plus good player, plus big bet... Let it go and orbit. Love the video content. Hope you're having fun. Bring back some gold!
Agreed. Players overlook the obvious -- a full table fold means a lot of crap cards were dealt. That should have been one more deciding factor towards folding, and villain won't fold back to you at that point.
I don't have any problem with calling with 6s against AJ. You figured you were probably in a flip, and you were right. But calling with K4 suited was just bad. Nice that you got lucky. Fantastic comeback. Like they say....."A chip and a chair...."
What a punt by that vlogger! He's usually more solid. Tough decision in the BB w 33. I've been in that spot. Did the same play. Same result. What can you do? Nice run. Keep grinding.
You did great! I feel like the 3s was obviously questionable, but you were low stacked and its hard to keep calm when you have opportunities. Also, who expects two freaking kings or the flush run out in that situation. Nice plays!!

Rate my play in the comments. This is without a doubt one of the craziest runs of my entire career... Hope you guys are enjoying the videos so far!

Ur not a fish like you said in the vid, you are actually catching fish considering the hat on your head🤠
The only real misstep was the AQ, also the 33 you busted on you coulda waited for a better spot for your tournament life but not being critical & you played quite well.
I think 66 is a fold there buddy
Loving these WSOP videos ✌️
Shoulda just folded the 3’s. Great play other wise.

i came here to say the same thing. This just shows the poster's lack of poker history knowledge.

@@agentstepheng289 lol what a comment
@@Showermore Says a lot more about him than the content creator.
@@Thelastgenuinearticle yup lol
Llama with a punt of the year candidate
Great quality editing and voice over 👏👏👏
What did you expect from him😂
Rip anyone who purchased his stake
Wsop history
that was chipdumping lol
Can someone explain why the threes so deep and in the money?
Gus Hasen did this about 8 years ago. He went from a chip and a chair to taking the final table. Outstanding.
And the phrase comes from Jack “Treetop” Strauss winning the WSOP main event.
@@mrbejam Which makes anything less than 1 chip to ME winner NOT the greatest WSOP comback in history... aka clickbait title!

I don't care how bad you are, "a donk cosplaying as a fish" is top tier.
8:24 I am the villain with AJss vs your 66. You played it great! 😂
How much were you actually steaming going into that hand? haha
@@randomname22223 he wasn’t wrong, I did just lost a 1.8 million chip pot literally the hand before that, but I was not steaming, that was a huge misrepresentation of the situation to better justify his play to himself and his audience.
@@randomname22223 the only thing I was truly steaming at is his camera crew filming everything
@@andrewtouchette6455 lol you came back to say that after 10 mins thinking about it hahahaha. it'd annoy me too tbf
I lost an all in and got up to leave, the dealer called me back because I had one single 500 chip remaining at the 1k 2k blind level...
45 minutes later I had 150k in the colossus
Yo the entertainment value in these videos is insane it's legit like watching a movie.
Don't ever stop trying. Your mentality and the way your explain these hands going through this event was 🔥🔥🔥. Stay safe and good luck brother!
That is a Greg Merson 2012 level of come up. As far as the play. Solid, which gives you a massive edge in this field
Came here to say the same. 50k in chips on day 5 and grinds it all back to finish in 1st. $10 million for his trouble 😂
I think Greg Merson is the greatest comeback. 2 and a half big blinds to win the Main when considering field and top prize monetary value.
I love this because it reminds me of my 1st ever win in a low stakes tournament. I was doing well then lost a bad beat that left me with 1 BB. I was moved to another table at that time and these players were the big stacks. I slapped my 2 chips down as I sat and said "you guys are in trouble now."

It takes a while to drop, but your quality is unmatched. Gl this summer Kevin 🙏
Loved the edits and video! Was fun to watch!
Finally the RUclips algo has brought me some quality content! 🔥
Subbed..
Keep up the grinding 🤩
B vs B u gotta shove the threes! One more flippy and you’re goin deep deep. I’ve watched every video you’ve posted in the last two years and it’s definitely improved my play. Thanks Kevin!
No u dont gotta do anything. U have to interpret from history and player type what such raise sizing might mean and if it means usually better pair which he isnt going to fold it is just a fold of 33
young and bald, instant fold
Sometimes got to play like Phil Hellmuth
150 remaining in a 9k player field and 7BB already being in the middle before the 17bb shove. Implies the SB has no folds there basically thats why I wouldnt have shoved the 33 as youre almost always getting called.
easy fold with 3's there
This sunrun deserves a sub. Excellent play and great work staying with it.
First video I've seen of yours. Great content and editing man!

Best documented tournament journey I’ve seen on RUclips, change my mind.
Clickbait, best comeback in wsop history and didnt even win lol
Favorite poker content creator right now.
Loved seeing you on the amazing race this week lmao 😂 somehow i had no clue
Honestly my favorite WSOP vlogs. Thank you for sharing. Jim
Insanely high quality video production. The best on the market.
One of the best quality poker channels I've ever seen
8:37 said the wrong suit lol thought I’d give you some sh*t for it! You’re a great player tho definitely subscribing!!!
i cashed 3rd in what mustve been the biggest field of a sunday million to date at the time, an anniversary sunday million with about 18000 entrants at the end of '08 iirc, after being down to 1 bb halfway through the tourney. it can be done lol
probably the best poker 'vlog' i've seen. top notch.

was this MTT hr levels if so I think the 33 is a fine fold vs his 4x open
Cavalito is a monster here in Brasil, pro player, really good.
GG Kmart! Congrats for the epic comeback!
Yep was watching it live was rooting for yah
best quality vlog ive ever seen for poker. The 33 was weird though, hindsight great great great call. I would have folded every day since that bet is committing only b/c i think im dominated by every hand and best case is im 50/50
Just watched for the first time. Great video, good story, and great content. Congrats kid.
Hey, you're the guy on Dnegs videos! Glad I found your channel Kmart ")
You played well Kevin. It does take some run good to come back from the dead like that, but it also takes patience and good decisions. Seems like you did both.
Congrats man. Great call with 9's. I would have chunked and been wrong.
Damn good commentary... And Play.. That deserves a Sub...
Cavalito is a brazilian beast, a studied poker player! GG, K, love the content ❤
"Us poker players cannot deny...we see top pair, and get sprung!" lol 14:36
14:36 was that a Sir Mix-A-Lot reference? You magnificent *bastard.*

That 4:56 hand you bamboozled him into making that play with the weird non all in size on the turn hahah I think he thought he had a read that you were Uber weak to not just shove turn
Shoving 33 deep ITM in a live tournament and getting snapped is nightmare fuel
Hahaha, totally NM fuel
Easier to hit a big W on a poker tournament than success on a reality show. 😂 props. Good luck and have fun
Yeah i think the 66 and last 33 were too bads to play but a big gg for your perf !!! Amazing remontada 🤩

There is no feeling like going on a heater from one big blind. Good on ya!
love the vids dude, absolutely eating up this new style and high quality
idk nothing about poker but subbed from BBCAN3 and just wanted to say good work on episode 1 of Race
First time watching a video of yours...excellent content!
He's kind of player that goes wild after the money bubble 😂😂😂
amazing storyteller and filmmaker! great job kev
Pocket 16:58 3’s shove?
Lol makes a sound play and gets the money in ahead “TELL ME IM SHIT TELL ME IM SHIT” 😂
The biggest comeback was when Jack Straus was "temporarily" knocked out of the 10,0/00 dollar championship event.
Jack stood up and one chip was found under a napkin and he wAs allowed to play it which was the wrong ruling.
Jack won the event 🏆
I like how every opponent is called VILLAIN 😂 Could have also used THE ENEMY
This was amazing to watch !!!! MOVIE with our favorite DONKEYDONK!
These video ARE like movies man good job. Make them more often tho 😅
1. There are plenty of hands that beat 3s.
2. He totally had you covered.
3. Folding would have got you many blinds in the future.
4. Let them make mistakes. Leave room for others to rush and make mistakes. You had plenty of wiggle space.

This is a ridiculous run holy shit congrats bro the story documented aswell is worth way more than the 9k.
Great vlog! Love the commentary! Makes me feel like I'm in the hand!
Enjoy the series and play great!

The bell sound when he wins a hand...what's that from? It's driving me crazy I can't figure it out.
Another awesome and massively engaging vlog. Thank you.
Kevin, are you playing in any of the upcoming events in Edmonton this month?
True Jason Sudakis vibes :)
Desire a Jaime staples collab. I can't die in peace without.
Easily My favourite poker vlog the narration is very funny.
What in the actual hell was that from Llama. I can't even describe how horrifically bad that is
I don't have any problem with calling with 6s against AJ. You figured you were probably in a flip, and you were right. But calling with K4 suited was just bad. Nice that you got lucky.
Fantastic comeback. Like they say....."A chip and a chair...."
Definition of "99% of gamblers quit before they win big"
Such a great video 🎉
Well done 👍🏻
7:25 i really like an overbet on the river, he representing a single pair or A high typa hand
You went God mode 😂
This is the best poker video I’ve ever seen, production out of this world. WOW. Please keep these up
Great work grinding the short stack. Enjoy your content.
The pocket 10 fold is wild
What a punt by that vlogger! He's usually more solid. Tough decision in the BB w 33. I've been in that spot. Did the same play. Same result. What can you do? Nice run. Keep grinding.
You are playing great! Just gotta win all the flips :) GLGL
wow made it to end of day 2 when calling with 6s is incredible
Did you hire a videographer to follow you for the whole 3 days?! That’s graft. Great content!
That come back is better than the win
You did great! I feel like the 3s was obviously questionable, but you were low stacked and its hard to keep calm when you have opportunities. Also, who expects two freaking kings or the flush run out in that situation. Nice plays!!
Tough to keep focus for so long. Good job!!🎉
People usually raise with AA,KK, and QQ and the next he min raises with KK 😂✌🏻❤️
really liked the format. dedicated cameraman.
"The GREATEST Comeback in WSOP History!!"
*Jack Straus has entered the chat*
tht sizing on last hand was so weird though the rest you played awesome keep it up
That was some good production
Huge Win great strategy. It is good to do it for big profit. I will watch your next videos.
I was sweating on the first hand and then read the title 😂
