  • this made me cry. just watching this god comeback, and then showing the picture of his daughter.

  • stu ungar is just the god of poker, i know phil ivey is insane but stu could play poker without looking at hole cards

  • Gabe has aged really badly

  • poko largo tambem hein.....

  • hey your nose is missing you coke swilling fuck,

  • @dannymaclamp wow, what an asshole...

  • @DMenase24 I know he is bigtime. Do you know he gambled away his entire fortune so his kids, I think he had a daughter or two, have NOTHING, couldn't even go to college because daddy snorted his entire fucking bankroll for 30 years. Piece of shit deserved the early death he got for hurting so many others.

  • @dannymaclamp Wow....u are angry and scared !! Please feel better, fast !!

  • I think he would still kick everyone's ass today if he's alive

  • lol

    gabe: you gonna do things differently this time?

    stu: uh idk but no one in the world can beat me at cards

  • Happy Birthday Stu!

    

  • God is plain whit stu at the texas hold em

  • he garunteed a victory and proved himself worthy of it .. most people just hear some listen

  • at the end stu is saying SHIP ITT!!!

  • he truly is our tragic hero!!!!

  • Sadly I had never heard of him till another youtube video & I Wikied him. What a story :-O. What a shame. Would loved to have seen him now in the poker boom era. Would loved to have seen him take some of these youngins to school LOL

  • And of course Dickens didnt write his books cuz theres no "clips" or fotos of him doing it, leonardo da vinci never invented anything, no clips, Mozart never composed any music, no film clips there either, what kind of child-like "logic" is this? jeez.....lol

  • @memyselfandeye3 Well, those that you mention now are no myths! Everyone knows about them, wtf you cant comapare them. Anyway if you read about some stars mention someone that is even better then them, and you will never c that star, wouldnt you be sceptical? Stu got some titels, sure but you have never seen him play! So how would i and probably the rest of the world know...

  • @chriskila No i wouldnt be sceptical, there is footage available, friends and poker players from the community and poker players who have played STU UNGAR know how good he was, his talent we shall never see again and his achievements speak for themselves, look him up- on wikipedia or just read the book about him, the movie about him, or the ESPN documentary about him....i know plenty of people who have seen him play, mike sexton talks about him alot too and many others, think be4 u speak!

  • Stu ungar beat Doyle Brunson in his First win of the WSOP in 1980......Heard of Doyle Brunson, Chriskila ? LOL!!!

  • the names changed and the dreams are the same. but never forget stu ungar R.I.P

  • Stu had the smallest nose on a Jew ever. Just kidding. RIP Stuey. Best ever.

  • I wish he could have controlled his demons...would have loved to see him play on a table with Dwan,Ivey, and Antonius.

  • @JimenezLeon Im pretty sure he was kick all their asses.

  • why was this outside?

  • for the names have all changed since you hung around, but those dreams have remained and they've turned around....

  • along gabe kaplan commentating this is Doyle Brunson?

  • @phobiazzzero Phil Hellmuth

  • what a player r.i.p

  • he looks like voldemort with a wig..

  • Damn, video quality was real shitty back in '97.

  • really sucks that he is dead

  • This is what Greek tragedy's are made of- The only thing greater than his skill as a card player was his self-destructive behavior. What a shame not only for him and his family but for all of us. We all missed some great poker. May the lord forgive your soul for the mistakes made and instead see what made you special to all of us who knew Stuey.

  • Doyle actually said Stu wasn't that good of a cash player, but a monster in tournament poker.

  • Stu Ungar: An amazing poker player and one of the true legends of the game. Three time WSOP Main Event World Champion, 5 WSOP bracelets, and a great cash game player too.

    And the interview with Gabe Kaplan after his win in great, where Stuey dedicated the win to his daughter.

    It's too bad he couldn't beat his addictions and died the next year. If he was still alive, I have no doubt that he would still be a major force in the poker world. A poker legend and a true talent for sure!!

  • Gabe Kaplan still rules as of this day

  • Well yeah. Christmas is coming, you better use that Referral Code: FTUS600 at full tilt poker and get that 600 dollar signing bonus

  • i would like to see anyone calling this legend a "junky" dealing with the problems he had to deal during his lifetime...

    His soul R.I.P. , he was the best ever!

  • Gabe Kaplan:-)

    nice

  • Stu won TWICE with the wheel hand, first in 1980 WSOP and here in 1997, "flip92" should do this thing called "reading" and "research" before he makes DONK statements about a true Genius of the game...Stu always knew what he was doing.

  • Stu sucked out for the win.

    And you guys think he's a LEGEND???

  • @flip92 give him credit hes was wa y ahead of his time....

  • stu did drugs?

  • Comment removed

  • winning 1 million dollars exactly with 1 hand ... THE WHEEL ... less than 2 years before he died

    legendary and destiny combined

  • I wish there was a book about stu's strategy ... :( .. R.I.P Stu ...

  • This video is really sad to me. Stuey just couldn't overcome his demons. In the last year of his life he had gotten so bad that poker games were built around him. But as Mike Sexton says let's try to remember him as the greatest no limit hold em player ever, and forgive him for his weaknesses in life. RIP Stuart E. Ungar.

  • 0:57 fail...RIP STUEY

  • @fortuloco55 that might have been a fail, but during that same second he dropped the chips the mathematical psychological genius that was calculated in his head with speed that exceeded the light speed barrier is something you won't even achieve in your lifetime and you're next life combined. so why don't you shut your fucking stupid bitch mouth the fuck up homo

  • @dannyoo2

    I DIDNT SAY THAT HE ISNT A GREAT PLAYER..HE WAS AND WILL BE THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD U FCKIN DICKHEAD...I JUST SAID HE DROPPED THE CHIPS..AND MAYBE I WILL NOT ACHIEVE WHAT U SAID BUT IM JUST HAPPY THAT I WILL NOT DIE BY DRUGS..

  • @fortuloco55 yea but don't scream in my direction, I'm allergic to dick breath

  • @dannyoo2 u are alergic to dickbreath???but u put dicks in ur mouthe every fckin day..u are used to them

  • @fortuloco55 was that suppose to be a comeback or just a bad joke? it doesn't matter because your comment fails in both cases. now get your cocksucking bitch homo mouth the fuck out of here, homo

  • @dannyoo2 no..its supposed to be the truth...but i know..truth hurts..sorry man..some1 had to tell ya

  • @fortuloco55 A piece of kum flew out your mouth when you spoke that last sentence.

  • @dannyoo2 foreverguga anwsered you..thank you sir...

  • @dannyoo2

    lolololll I checked your profile and what do we see? A Stu Ungar obsessed gay dude, calling people names in EVERY SINGLE VIDEO about Stu Ungar on youtube. Basically that is all you do

    Wow dude you have a sad life. Stu Ungar this, Stu Ungar that.

    It must have made a long lasting impression on you when he penetrated you anally.

    He died such a long time ago and you are still spreading your love for him on youtube every single day.

    Get over it kid. Plenty of gay men left on this planet

  • @foreverguga Look at how much time you spent writing messages to me, are you homo sexual or something? Why are you seeking male attention? I don't even read what you write. Go message your homo partner fortuloco55 and see if you suck enough cawk to raise money and buy a plane ticket and go to let him fuck you in your ass, it's obvious that that's what you're looking for, homo

  • @dannyoo2 man..by writting all these things u seem a fckin retarded piece of shit to all the ppl here..u'll see that many others will reply u..and u will continue calling them homo..every single one..tell me really..do u know any words other than homo??DUDE JUST GET A LIFE..STOP SPENDING ALL UR LIFE IN FRONT OF A SCREEN WATCHING YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND COMMENTING EVERY FKCIN MINUTE!!!!!!!G E T A  L I F E

  • John shremp will go down as the only man to get beat by a crackhead... STUEY was the BEST RIP

  • 3:34 - 3:53

  • he wore them shades so low on his nose because it was so disheveled from snorting so much blow; and he thought he could detract attention to it. pretty cool...

  • @viedee9175

    Okay dude, Do you want to have a heads up match my FTP username is dalkag8888 =D

    And its true

    I learned on the Full Tilt blog last tuesday you can register an new account on their web page with the bonus code AMERICAS however you cannot currently have an account on their site.Great method to acquire fast free cash to play around with. Make a deposit and they DOUBLE it oh and a couple other beneficial perks. Sadly limited to the first 3500 players that sign up usin it

  • @NegreanuDan81 I think its really disrespectful to the game for you to whore your poker site on this video...

  • wow

    look how young kaplan is

  • Instead of naming the hurricane that destroyed New Orleans, Katrina. They should have named it Stu Ungar because stu stormed through the field and destroyed every last bit of hope this opponent had left just like how Katrina destroyed new orleans

  • @dannyoo2 They have a protocol when naming hurricanes. That particular hurricane had to have a girl`s name starting with a "K". Also, it was named well before they new what it would do. Please delete your stupid ass comment.

  • @hubertandclyde I think the majority of the population would agree that you should shut your fucking disgusting cocksucking homo mouth. if you criticize my comment, you might as well do it with the under yours and say that Gabe Kaplan is not young. besides learning to suck cock you also learned about hurricanes and think your smart now? get the fuck out of here with your fucking filthy dickmagnet kum having bitch mouth filthy redneck wigger

  • @dannyoo2 Your comment was racist, grammatically incorrect, and just plain stupid. Apparently you think using strong language makes a point. Well, it doesn't. It makes you seem like an idiot, which of course you are.

  • @hubertandclyde you're black and racist yourself, get the fuck out of here homo. you think because you're black you can be racist and other people can't? go wipe my kum stains off your mothers wedding dress fucking homo

  • @dannyoo2 I'm not black though, I'm Caucasian. Also, I wasn't even racist. What they hell is wrong with you?

  • he lived a sad but absolutly epic life! He died young but his legend will last forever! Nobody will win three times the championship again! (also beacause the field is too large nowadays) rip Stu

  • Fuck you cocaine. 

  • How bout that full tilt poker referral code: FTUS600 that gets people 600$ just for signing up with it

  • Yes, signing up with the referral code: FTUS600 at Full Tilt Poker really does get you 600$. My friend did it last week.

  • Why does Full Tilt Poker give people 600$ when they use Referral COde: FTUS600

  • lol the announcer has almost no emotion when stu won the hand

  • I just got a 600$ bonus from Full Tilt Poker all because I used the referral code: FTUS600

  • Its crazy that Full Tilt Poker is giving people 600$ when they use the Referral Code: FTUS600

  • Join Full Tilt Poker using Referral Code: FTUS600 and get a 600$ Sign up Bonus

  • he looks like an alien in disguise lol

    I found out on Full Tilts blog recently you can register an account on the Full Tilt web site using the bonus code AMERICAS 1 thing though you cant allready have an account registered with them.I think it's the recommended way if your a beginner to start playing.. They will DOUBLE your first deposit in addition to multiple other nice perks. Its limited to the first 2500 players that sign up usin this

  • kaplan!

  • LEGEND

  • luckbox

  • @DZG

    Seriously? How about you read One of A Kind, the biography about Stu Ungar.

    The man was a freak of nature. A complete mastermind of ANY card game.

    Youre calling the greatest cardplayer in the history of man a luckbox while youre playing your $1 donkaments on FullTilt.

    Well done.

  • Is this the muppets?

  • Ivey the goat imo

  • The best to ever do it.

    Phil might have the most bracelets, but Stu has the most of the bracelet that matters.

  • Lets see ALL the footage ESPN! C'mon, we only see ONE singular hand heads-up, how long were they playing heads up anyway ??? lets see Stuey at his finest and most imposing! Lets see him reduce his opponent to tears and tantrums, lol, lets see it ALL ! Why not release the footage on a special edition dvd, what r u waiting for ESPN ????

  • Suckout Masta

  • stremp's got some balls to have his nickname be, "the treasure of the sierra madre."

  • helmuth is definatly not kobe of poker lol

  • what a ghoul

  • gabe was young.

  • amazing story

  • phil ivey is the lebron james of poker

    phil hellmuth the kobe bryant of poker

    and stu ungar was micheal jordan

  • @Araknophobik that's an insult to Kobe Bryant. Kobe is an MVP today. Hellmuth is overrated and the poker talent today has passed him by quickly. In your comparison, Kobe would not win anything anymore, he would leave the court most nights in a temper tantrum, while still telling everyone that he is the greatest ever, and his main income would be from a few endorsements. 

  • @Zank40 yeah actually there are alot of better players like dwan just as an example but when it comes to tournaments, and helllmuth is on his game, he plays quite incredible.

    on a side note, fuck kobe. and im from cali. lol

  • they actually did some research on that...turns out the good players in poker really are good. it's skill over the long term, luck over the short term, think about it

  • mentally, stu ungar was the mohammed Ali of his 'sport'/skill, Stuey was THE GREATEST!

  • @memyselfandeye3 If Stu was the greatest..how come only 162 182 people have only watched this clip!? He is def overated by the looks of it. ( have not seen so many clips of him playing)

  • @chriskila youtube views mean nothing, Stu was from a different poker era before the money-maker effect and the online poker boom, Stu was the greatest natually gifted player of all time, earned $30 million dollars , won the WSOP 3 Unpresidented times(*johnny moss won three but his first win was voted by his peers, not freeze out structure*), Stu also won the Amarillo slim Superbowl of poker 3 times also and many other tourneys, try to learn about the greats before saying such ignorant comments.

  • @memyselfandeye3 sorry, that comment was meant for the person below you :)

    

  • @314nayar no worries, there are always newbies who know nothing of poker history who always display their complete ignorance of the true Greats of poker, " chriskila" is one of them, theres footage of Stuey winning two wsops, the 1980 footage of his wsop win is scarce but exists in the ESPN vaults, she really is making a fool of herself, LOL, you have to feel sorry for these types of people, LOL :)

  • @memyselfandeye3 And i cant varify your claim. I have never seen him do anything spectacular. There is no clips of him doing it. He is like a myth.

  • @chriskila Dude, Maybe..just maybe you posted just for the sake of posting. It's blatantly obvious to the rest of us who know the game in and out that you don't have the slightest clue as to what you're talking about :) and I mean that in a friendly tone.

  • @chriskila

    He is one of only two people to have won the World Series of Poker Main Event three times (Johnny Moss also has three WSOP titles but his first was obtained by a vote of the players, not by winning a tournament). He is also the only person to win Amarillo Slim's Super Bowl of Poker three times, the world's second most prestigious poker title during its time

  • @brigada777 Wikipedia.

  • RIP stu

  • Stu Ungar, one level...

    Phil Ivey, Hellmuth, Negreanu...

    Others.

  • Which drugs was he addicted to?

  • cocaine

  • @OnlyKnives cocaine. 

  • Stu Ungar R.I.P. The best of all.

  • one of the best players ever along with chip reese, doyle, hellmuth, johny moss and ivey

  • Dear Stu, I miss cameras in the table during your play !!! I miss Stu Ungar, too !!!

  • Poor Stu, in this video its really sad what he has made of himself... his nose is nomore;

    And despite the love for his daughter he could not stop taking drugs... rip stu :(

  • Just a year or so later this young man was gone. So very sad. He's greatly missed by all.

  • Not by me... hhaaha

  • Legend of Poker!

    Nice film "High Roller"(2003) advise look !

  • It's a bad film. And all of Stu's friend and family is ashamed and disappointing of the movie. Read the book that the movie is based on instead.

  • Comment removed

  • Stu does a string raise! His opponent bets $120,000 and Stu says "raise" but does not state an amount. He goes to his chip stack 3 or 4 times, so that is a STRING BET!!!! HA!

  • Once he says raise he can go to his stack as many times as he wants till he completes his raise. Its not a string bet in this tournament play setting.

  • That is not a string bet Sir. Once you say raise you are allowed to stack your chips anyway you want and then declare the amount.

  • I was thinki9ng the same thing, what the fuck, I did not hear him say an amount

  • @ErockNJ I think we just didn't hear the raise. If you notice Gabe calls out the $800,000 before all the chips are in the center. Meaning Gabe knew it was an 800K raise before Stu put the chips into the pot.

  • I love that pro chip shuffle at 0:55

  • he would never last today with that addiction to drugs....so heavy 2 see what they made out of him...

  • I wonder who he's flipping off at 3:36...

  • I wish they would redo these videos and show the cards on the screen like they do now. This would make these classics.

  • is this 1997 .... It looks like the eighties

  • So sad, but sadly predictable that he f*cked up AGAIN after this and was dead within a couple of years.

  • why was it an all in play? both still had chips left o.O , answer any1?

  • Stu still had chips and the amount he raised put the other guy 'all in'. For the other guy to call, it is understood that it was an all in bet. In live poker games the dealer just tosses a chip in front of the 'all in' player that says 'all in' on it, so everyone knows. You don't have to actually push all of your chips into the middle. Does that make it clear for you?

  • blind was pretty big

  • The gy was a legend..I doubt you will see someone with his ability for many years..a tortured soul but what a great player..single handedly closed down the game of gin rummy and banned from most casinos!Genius..

  • Stuey rocks

    everyone who likes him should read the book the man behind the shades, its great

  • i never knew about that book. i'll have to look for it. did you see the movie 'high roller'? it's about his life story.

  • no I haven't, thx I'll take a look at it

  • That deuce on the river was worth 1 million dollars.

  • Comment removed

  • no hes laying it out so it can be seen you tittyfuck

  • nope. When you raise, you should either state by how much, or push your chips over the line in one movement. You can't push a few in, then a few more, then a few more. Try doing that in a casino and see what happens. His opponent could have called him on it if he had wanted to. Google string bet you foul mouthed youtube comment thug.

  • dude, he said "I raise," which is enough ... the rest is history.

  • Stu was no doubt one of the greatest players of all time!!  If only he had beaten hi addiction, he would still be a force in the poker world today. He is a true poker legend!!!

  • he used the glasses to cover the nose damage from sniffing coke

  • i want his glasses to..!!!!

    and he was the best poker player !

  • WOW............ just watched this clip right after watching the "High Roller' movie. Makes this clip that much deeper.

  • he was a junky but Stu is the real poker

  • Stuey is the best player ever lived.

  • I would like to see who Stu Ungar kick tom lucky dawn's ass in poker...

    there won't be as good player as Ungar...

  • Hmm, Stu was a genius who I am sure would have adapted to todays game quite well.

  • dont believe the hype

  • LOL

    There is more donkeys now.

  • Most people entering a 10k in the 80ths and 90th was top class poker pro's. Of course there was a few rich people entering but comparing a tournament. It is true the game has envolved but saying that the Main event that Stu won only had a bunch of donkeys in it is just nonsense. There where no 1 dollar sattelites back then like there is now. During the WSOP there where 500 and 1000 dollar sattelites running but back then that was a lot of money even for a pro making a living in Las Vegas.

  • @girlie347 ammazzati pezzo di merda figlio di puttana!!

    respect 4 stu!!!

    è stato il numero 1... e basta!!!

    tu piuttosto...va fa i bukkin strunz!!!
