+rd711 if you watched the full thing Laak really was running that hot, it was pretty hilarious. And he continues to run hot pretty much up until the final table, he won 3/4 heats.
I could rewatch this hand till I die. Everything was just perfect, the set up, format of playing, trash talk, players. Even Phil commentating, this is just pure gold
Love how Hellmuth is like “he just has to fold, nothing else to it” when Luke is talking at the end, as if Hellmuth wouldn’t blow every gasket in his brain if he were the one with QQ
V-CHIP, or VPIP, stands for "voluntarily put in pot" and is basically your calls and raises pre-flop, and steal attempts is when you raise from the BUTTON, CUT OFF, or SMALL BLIND when action is folded to you. They are stats to help you understand how aggressive someone is, also giving you an idea of their hand range. Very useful stats IMO...
Love hearing Hellmuth say 'He knows he's beat here, he just has to make the tough laydown and thats all there is to it'. He should cut that sound clip out of this video, buy a pair of Dr. Dre Beatz and blast that on a loop every time he plays poker from now on.
Gota love Phil H's sense of humor... "He does remind me a bit of my self" "wait a minute, theres a european Helmuth?" Its absolutly like watching Phil Helmuth having one of his tantrums :D
he has the hand that isnt aces, so ostensibly...he has aces. obviously he doesnt have kings. so its either aa,qq, or zilch. he basically has aces here.
@@mikecantreed Newbie here. So the way Schwartz is using the term "aces" means not only literally aces AA, but also KK and QQ? And JJ would not be called "aces", right? Is this a British thing because I haven't heard "Aces" used to mean anything other than AA.
@Howard Roark Then "like" my comment so that it gets pushed up and seen when people view this video!! Just kidding. I don't care. I mean, I'd like top know the answer but... I guess I have bigger issues to address in trying to learn this complicated game.
Can someone explain why Hellmuth says Laak would not have checked on the turn if he only had a set? No flush was possible at that point, so I don’t get it.
hellmuth is one of the best tourny players. his problem is his ego, if he didnt have his egotistical mentality he would be as loveable as he is here doing commentary.
2:20 As if this mouth-breathing Make-a-Wish Kid couldn't look any more like a dufus, now it looks like he saw something shiny like a overhead camera light or something.
K7 offsuit is about 30% odds of beating QQ if you put the money in preflop. Schwarz is mad because calling any raises with K7 offsuit preflop is bad play, Laak was lucky his odds were that good, against most other hands Schwartz could have there he would be miles behind (AK for example crushes K7). Schwartz then made his bad luck even worse by betting too big on the river, you decide whether to call or not mostly based on pot odds (amount you have to pay vs amount you will win, and how often you will win in that spot to make the call worthwhile). Because Schwartz bet too big he was getting extremely good odds to call, but he knows Laak knows that, so he also knows Laak wouldn't have made the bet unless he was certain he had him beat and has to fold even though he's getting a good price to call. The rant is mostly because Laak is playing badly but because he's hitting his cards he still wins anyway 😬.
I think my favorite part is that he goes off on a rant and lies about what he was holding. Any King had him beat (even if he *did* have pocket aces) he gets outplayed, and makes the correct fold on the river. Boo friggin' hoo.
Can anybody explain why there is in flop 7KK 100% to win (on screen) for Laak with K7 (full house) if Schwartz still can get four of kind with QQ in hand? Time 1:59
Phil Laak, my favorite all time pro..lve his style and his hoodie look..i bring that with me usually when i play live..or i use to ..havent much had a hoodie lately playing poker though..and gotta always have the sunglasses too haha
I've played enough poker to know there is one important rule that trumps all others- ask yourself "what is he calling with?" With that board I have a hard time thinking what worse hands than queens are calling? Another pocket pair I guess is it really
People who chew gum were never properly weaned as a child. I played against a player just like this in Vegas recently. I shoved, he called. He had a set of kings, I had ace-queen, turn is a jack, and on the river, I hit a 10 hitting the gut-shot Broadway. I thought he was going to implode. In another hand, same situation as this; I was the short stack and flopped a full boat 3s/ks to his set. He's probably still having nightmares about the losses. But, to see him whine and lose was precious. "HE KEEPS HITTING THE FLOPS!! I've never seen such luck!" (implying I was cheating). I replied, "Dude, come on. I got no long sleeves. And nobody would hold a king/three." He just couldn't handle it.
'There's a European Hellmuth?' Hellmuth is a much more likeable commentator than he is a poker player.
mulder1979 Northern European ;)
I think he plays it up at least a little bit to make himself seem obnoxious and stupid (not that he's too bright, but the dude really knows poker).
@@KanjoosLahookvinhaakvinhookvin he does he's actually said that in an interview before, he knows the blow ups make good television lol
Jeff Morrison what makes you say negreanu is a douche?
fuck phil hellmuth. I turn off the sound when that pos is commentator.
Anyone who chews gum with their mouth open deserves to lose.
full of shit he is
I was just about to post the same thing, but see I'm 2 years late
He has to chew with his mouth open. He's a mouth breather. He would suffocate if he closed his mouth.
Clearly Schwartz doesn't beast EVERYTHING
Moron is always talked too much...
"There's no way in million years you're good enough to bluff this."
haha
+Mike Raphone I'll admit he's annoying, but that quote is pretty funny.
Yeah. But hey. I got a house.
Yeah, He's the kind of guy I want to punch in the face, but that line was gold!"
That's what Jen Tilly said
Mike Raphone take this good sir, your 500th like
Seeing Schwartz lose... just puts a smile on my face.
Mine too.
Why? I am not having enough information I guess.
Lol same here
Because you people are easily offended like bitches 😂
Yeah he and Phill deserve each other
i like Hellmuth on commentary.
I love watching him blow up but he's actually a really good commentator
Yeah, he's like a completely different guy. I'd love for him to represent the scene this way
@@brianbell504 and him being very good commentator comes from him being extremely good player and from his understanding of the game
He shows his knowledge of the game when he’s on commentary but while he’s playing he comes across as a donk lol
@@nathankennedy4263 He wants to look like a donk so he gets invited to more poker games with billionaires and can rack in real cash.
I love Phil's comment: "Quick call, you know what that means. Quad kings!". He's my hero.
Schwartz should've known with that comment that he was crushed.
The insta all-in from Phil followed by Luke's reaction is pure comedy gold.
So sick
Phil Helmuth and Tony G had a son. Named him Luke Schwartz.
That is about right , he reminds me of them both
I was thinking Ellen Degeneres and Tony G.
i enjoy hellmuth & tony more than luke...he's just bored & stupid
Ha ha ha 😂
Best comment I have ever upvoted
Schwartz is like the British Phil Hellmuth without all the bracelets or money or success
or likeability
And even more of a douche!
@@myoldawesomebootsPhil
Helmuth is likeable? Lmao
@@Johnnycash753yes, it’s you that isn’t
Phil Laak is so good for the entertainment aspect of poker, and he is possible my favourite player because of that
"it's just too schtoopid" "..flops a set, flops a house, flops a set, flops a house..."
+rd711 if you watched the full thing Laak really was running that hot, it was pretty hilarious. And he continues to run hot pretty much up until the final table, he won 3/4 heats.

Spot on, lad! Spot on!
rd711
He's playing with daddies shekels.
Private education for you.
What a bitch.
Lol, someone remix this into a song.
i just love how laak INSTA goes all in after schwartz bets, almost even before schwartz releases his chips
Gotta love how self aware Phil is. Kings stay kings
Wtf does this even mean.
You are retarded go back to school please
Years ago, this was the first poker video I saw. Now, I see a lot more history, context, and best of all, my current favorite poker player is Laak.
What does Lodden think is the %: Of the people who have a favorite poker player, the % with Laak as their favorite?
durrrr would have reraised
+Serge Roa thats the joke
+Serge Roa no, you didn't actually lol
+bonavinter no, actually the joke is that durrr is a hyperbluffer.
just shut up Rodrigo
Hurrrr durrrr herp derp
I love watching Schwartz fail. Stop breathing through your mouth!!!
If he stopped breathing through his mouth he'd suffocate.
Well...that's a bonus then...
It's like watching a Grouper Fish - not pretty and very annoying
What are you talking about? This was a brilliant read by Schwartz, he played this hand really well.
Matthew Power river bet is definitely suspect.
This is still one of my favorite clips of all time
I love watching Schwartz go down.
That guy is a classless Helmuth.
great read by schwartz: ''you just flopped a full house against me , twice, so sick.'' great read man
how did he knew
I've always thought Hellmuth was a great commentator...I've seen him on a couple other shows too and he is entertaining and insightful in the booth
Hot dam, Phil Laak is such a chill guy.
I would have gone full Tony G on him, told Schwartz to get on his tandem bike, and GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!
and he is very good at poker, he just wants everyone to think he is not lmao that is so great
@@Videosakkohe’s not that good lmao. Big fish. I would love to have him at my game and completely destroy his will to ever play poker again.
Luke Shwartz is everything I hate about the UK.
Richard Griffith Your inferiority complex is showing.
I am British, you tool.
Richard Griffith agreed !
Random Ashe you are projecting your own inferiority complex. nice.
+Random Ashe owned
I could rewatch this hand till I die. Everything was just perfect, the set up, format of playing, trash talk, players. Even Phil commentating, this is just pure gold
I never get tired of watching this.
5:47 Luke still owe Phil Laak 400$ til this day.
lol, really?
He owes me $8. I'm not joking.
@@vladimiroriveratovar6687 yeah Luke said on Joey Ingram podcast he didn’t pay the 400
Schwartz reaction to Laak's All-In made my day !!
i love seeing phil laak put the hurt on people, hes a champ
A champ of what?
I come back every year when im depressed just to see swartz lose his shit over this hand absolute golden check from phil
Love how Hellmuth is like “he just has to fold, nothing else to it” when Luke is talking at the end, as if Hellmuth wouldn’t blow every gasket in his brain if he were the one with QQ
Idk Phil's best part of his game is the fold. But he would be losing his mind, and that would be incredible
Blowup Is guaranteed but i'm Petty sure he folds in this spot
@@paristexas9031he 1M % calls it off and I have seen him do it many times.
@@timcarter817 Phil only calls those on TV, but in the new Big Game season, he didn't even do that, maybe because of Keating being at the table lol.
I come back every time to watch laak bury this man, every time
Hellmuth is a GREAT commentator, where can I just watch this whole tourney or others he's commentated on?
Ross Courtright no hes awful and there is absolutely nothing in schwartz that reminds of him. schwartz plays good poker.
Agree. "He flopped him dead" was classic.
@@rogloglo you don't know much about the game do.you? Hellmuth hate bandwagoner

Thank you. I'm from the distant future.
I probably have watch this video on RUclips 100 times since this this was televised.. never gets olds at his reaction to Phil’s all in. Lmaooooooo
I love the insta all in by laak 😂😂👍🏻
That tells you right there he's not bluffing.
@@Sopranos44 But wouldn't a guy bluffing do the same in order to make his opponent think he is not bluffing?
The best part of this is the self irony from Phil H
The dude can be funny, when not playing ^_^
"Wait a minute, there's a European Hellmuth?" - Phil Hellmuth LOL
Legend has it that’s it’s still too sick.
"Quick call, quick call, you know what that means~" lol the cartoony way he said it
Schwartz looks like a grown up Dudley from Harry Potter.
"He could be Hellmuth, He could be you" lol that was funny
Love hearing Hellmuth say 'He knows he's beat here, he just has to make the tough laydown and thats all there is to it'. He should cut that sound clip out of this video, buy a pair of Dr. Dre Beatz and blast that on a loop every time he plays poker from now on.
In every poker clip, you can expect to hear "so sick"
This comment is so sick! Your right!
I've watched this about 10 times, it is hilarious!
Laak played thisss perfectly and even appeared to be nervous, covered his mouth, not a sinlge word spoken. Bang!
"Wait a minute, dude. There's a european Hellmuth?" Hahaha.
seen this several times...love watching "baby fat" Schwartz get beat like this thinking there is no way anyone can possibly EVER beat him.
Gota love Phil H's sense of humor...
"He does remind me a bit of my self"
"wait a minute, theres a european Helmuth?"
Its absolutly like watching Phil Helmuth having one of his tantrums :D
i come back to this now and then for the laugh haha one of my fav poker hands ever.
5:58 flops a house flops a set flops a house
I love Phil Laak! Luke Schwartz is funny AF.
"When I fold, how much to show?"
"There's no way in a million years you're good enough to bluff this."
I love watching this hand. This was so ridiculous. The Unabomber flops Queens dead with K 7 unsuited. Just insane
What I was just thinking, I think this is the best moment in history
Couldn’t he have gotten runner queens? Or was one folded
@@claydouglas2526it’s in essence dead but not actually
@@Tateygbnah...queens were dead...Timoshenko folded q9 off at 1:12
"$200 to show me now"
"You owe me 400"
My guess is that's the second time he offered 200 to see his hand.
All laughs aside it was a nice lay down.
This video is so satisfying to watch after playing poker for quite some time.
"You owe me 400"
hahahahahhaha
Laak: quick call, you know what that means 😎
Schwartz: 👁️👄👁️
Schwartz: $140,000
Laak: ALL IN

Thanks for not giving any spoilers in the title :)
I hate when people throw their chips out like Luke in live tournaments
GRINDS MY GEARS ARGHHHH
“You owe me 400” lmaoo
that‘s the funniest shit I have heard all year
I flooped full house once with 3 queens and 2 jacks. I made it so obvious that everyone folded and I was like fuckkkkk!!!!!!
Really impressed with Shwartz. Very vibrant and in sync
Can someone explain why Hellmuth says Laak would not have checked on the turn if he only had a set? No flush was possible at that point, so I don’t get it.
Laak shuts up.....biggest tell ever
5:30 haha and i love the commentator loool

Anyone: a
Luke: so sick
I like looking at comments that are like years apart, it’s like RUclips recommends this video every year
Why does it show 0% in 1:55? If the next two cards were both queens he would win, no?
A Queen was folded before the flop. 😊
I had trips
Sick
So sick
You owe me 400.... Bahahaha
I think my favorite part is that he goes off on a rant and lies about what he was holding. Any King had him beat (even if he *did* have pocket aces) he gets outplayed, and makes the correct fold on the river. Boo friggin' hoo.
DashCat9 How did he get outplayed?
DashCat9 He did NOT get outplayed in the hand at all. In fact Laak played it pretty badly, couldve gone alot more out of the hand
Panox1991 I dunno I think that was the max laak would get
Any kind of raise at all from Laak on the River has him folding his queens.
Haha, how did he get outplayed? In the end Luke is the one who made a great fold with a strong hand.
1:28 "Luke Bubblegum Schwartz and Phil, hopefully not cherry bomber Laak, about to play a hand" xDDD
This will always be the funniest hand of poker ever. Hello future me!
British whining does become a person.
Nice "aces" buddy lmfao
European Hellmuth!
Can anybody explain why there is in flop 7KK 100% to win (on screen) for Laak with K7 (full house) if Schwartz still can get four of kind with QQ in hand? Time 1:59
1:11 Someone had a Q and fold.
Eder L. Aaaah, it make a sense. Thx a lot!
Hellmuth: he does remind me of myself a little bit
-Laak shows his cards-
Schwartz gets up steaming: HE CALLED A RAISE WITH KING 7 OFF
Laak is so fishy, K7 really? Turn that slot machine
He called 22k to win 84k and he is in position. It is not even preference or a style of play, it is a mistake to fold.
Nit?
bvb, small raise, position and clear chipleader. Both calling and raising makes sense. Folding is the worst option here.
the chips look ugly
Haven’t watched more than the intro yet but lemme guess... “sooo sickkk”
Phil Laak, my favorite all time pro..lve his style and his hoodie look..i bring that with me usually when i play live..or i use to ..havent much had a hoodie lately playing poker though..and gotta always have the sunglasses too haha
The speed at which Unabomber went all in just to mega-tilt him was epic...
i love how he snap raises the $200 offer to show at the end hahaha and Schwartz gets back up and storms off
After the flop, why does it say Shwartz has a 0% chance of winning? Isn’t there a chance for 2 queens to come out??
Because someone of the other players threw a Q away ;)
vandammestijn123 just re watched after your comment. I didn’t catch that dude folding a Q9! Makes sense now! Thanks!
5:06 Id definitely go all in with that pair.
I've played enough poker to know there is one important rule that trumps all others- ask yourself "what is he calling with?" With that board I have a hard time thinking what worse hands than queens are calling? Another pocket pair I guess is it really
I could watch this all day.
So can anyone answer why he would’ve done something other than Check if he had flopped 3 of a kind vs flopping the full house?

If you look up slop in the dictionary you will see a pic of luke Schwartz face
Lol. Hellmuth is good at calling out play when he can see the hands. When he's in the hand it's a different story.
Can someone explain to me why he wouldn't check the Turn with 3 Kings ?
