Immortalized forever in Rounders
Seidel as stand the test of time. Truly a great player.
going all in after the river when the other guy has the nuts IS the best way to end a heads up match.
It wasn't the nuts... there were 3 diamonds on the board
@@27jasonfrank 2 diamonds
I hope Erik doesn’t give up on poker, hang in there kid…😉
lol he has hang on until he has no hair, he is still playing, and always come second.
He is doing much better poker wise then Chan since then
@@cathdan10 bracelets and you are nothing
Funny looking at this hand in the light of 2024. I could be wrong here but…flop click back check raise (and was that a string?). Turn check then river shove?? 🤷♂️ 🤦♂️
That's how the 2024 champions club tournament came out when they sat down for heads up they played two or three hands and maybe less but it was over quick in 2024
"From there I think my inexperience showed up, he is the best player in the world. He just outplayed me"
- Phil Helmuth
Never realised Eric was so tall
@@calgaryhockey6991 😂😂
He looks like he's 6'10 there
younger generation always playst fast poker, it never changes.
Winner winner chicken dinner
How much is his shove on the river and how much is there in the pot. Curious if Sidel was value betting or bluffing?
Value bet almost certain. Trying to induce a call from a bluffcatcher.
@@cwolf208 Thank you (both of you). I asked this same question in another thread.
In the movie Rounders, Petra says something like "Johnny knows Seidel will bluff at it, has the patience to wait him out" or something like that. But Seidel started the hand with 15 BBs, flopped top pair and had less than a PSB on the river. The river shove seems to be value all the way, hoping for a call from a weaker Q or more likely a hand like JT.
@@6thwilbury2331 rounders poker scenes are actually comically bad. he was definitely value betting.
When they interview Seidel they say Chan turned the straight but he flopped it. Turn was a deuce. Gotta love the 80s, ah close enough it’s fine, attitude.
Back then they called the flop the turn
@jeffsudbeck4681 they called the flop the flop in this video...
They're referring to a previous hand where Chan was behind. Not this hand
They were talking about an earlier hand when Chan was short
I love how back in the day they referred to chips in dollar amounts
You got $10,000 chips for your $10,000…it was the easiest way of explaining it to Joe Public. Phil Hellmuth STILL treats tournament chips like dollars even though you start with like 60k chips…. honey he called 2000 dollars on a jack nine suited!!! These idiot players… etc.
Haha young Eric!
Johny Fuggin Chan
Wow there so young here this is b4 I was born
Wow who is this Eric kid?
Just likely a flash in the pan!
most iconic poker punt
700,000 for first place and 280,000 for second place in 1988 was a lot better then today's payments 😕
What a punt
Poor kid didn’t know what hit ‘em
How many players in this tournament? 100?

167 entrants according to Wikipedia
Wtf is that Chris Hansen from To Catch a Predator?!
Whoa!
Dunno if anyone noticed when they stood up, but Eric could quite literally rest his beer on Johnny Chan's head.
Great trap from Johnny Chan
He is still winning and playing like a champion is Eric. It was a strange shove at the river, nobody does that with a pair these days.
apparently Erik started the hand with less than 15 BB. it was a value bet on the river. he played it fine.
I can't believe Chan folded his hand face up...then realized he had the nut straight so quickly moved his stack in after to make it look like a call :-) LOL
Exposing your hole cards face up (without letting them touch the muck) is not a fold.
@@jessieball6195 I was just making a joke Jessie :-)
What is Johnny Chan 5'2" or something???
Maybe and Seidel must be 7'9 lol
And now they both have ten bracelets, are both hall of famers, are two of the greatest poker players of all time.
Probably one of the best heads up matchups in WSOP Main Event history (maybe only Hellmuth vs Chan in 1989 surpasses it).
im curious how they knew each player's hands since this was before hole cards were a thing and obviously its too early for them to be using RFID
It's not live broadcast and edited later.
Christopher Moltisanti?
Iconic!😂 People love to use the word "iconic". 😂
*I would've argued Chan folded lol*
Wait, do they actually just give him all those stacks of cash and expect him to go home? Or is the cash just for show and then they write him a check?
Cash payout is certainly the tradition, at one point they would even wheel out a million dollars for everyone to see on the table. Under armed guard!
"He calls the 40 thousand and raises 50 thousand... it's 50 thousand dollars to call"
Lol
Yeah, what's with this announcer? Sounds like a bad Hollywood movie script.
Seidel turned out to be a much more prominent and iconic player than Chan
Seidel is an absolute beast.
What a dnkey move
JOHNNY CHAN BEATS ERIK SEIDEL
JOHNNY CHAN BEATS ERIK SEIDEL
how does Seidel not see Chan's overacting?
hand is dead, he exposed his cards too early
Seidel angled tf outta him with the flop 2bet. I don’t think at that time they would be that strict
He says “call” while the camera is switching angles. There must have been a problem with the live audio from the table because you can’t hear Jack McClelland saying anything either, and he’s clearly talking into the loudspeaker.
It's such an epic spaz punt by one of the best ever. Cannot get called by worse for all in size and turning your queen into a bluff is awful.
hahahah it's heads up. he absolutely can get called by worse. easy game when you see the cards though.
