Final Hand of WSOP 1997

[kluxxxarn]

Poker outside? Thats just wrong!

[PrettyBoyFalco]

Talk about a major string beat lol

[Exodus199999]

Why the fuck would they replace Gabe Kaplan with Norman Chad? Gabe is actually funny and knows something (a lot) about poker

% preflop: Ungar 24% - Strzemp 55%

flop: Ungar 28% - Strzemp 58%

the 3 of diamonds on the 4th street was good for Ungar,which gave him 68% to "save the game" (16% to win or 52% to split the pot and get his money back) Vs Strzemp's 32%!

What's more, Ungar has much more chips than Stzemp....so, after all, he could afford to play this hand the way he did.

I hate how people see this video and form an opinion on Stu Ungar - I have actually met a few people at casinos that have said to me "that guy was a donk"! Please people, get the book One of A Kind by Nolan Dalla before you form an opinion about Stu Ungar. This man was arguably the greatest cardplayer that ever walked the earth. Poker was NOT his best game. Gin Rummy was. He was ABSOLUTELY UNBEATABLE at that game. He made the best players in the world look like children, even with a spot.

[Ayoudell]

But even so, he won the World Series of Poker AND the Super Bowl of Poker(the SAME players that played in the WSOP played in the SBOP) 3 times. EACH. His specialty was tournaments. And when his mind was clear, and he was playing his best game, he dominated like no other. I can relate to Stuey, not because I consider myself as talented as him(not even close), but because he was deeply a good person - and just as deeply flawed.

[Ayoudell]

So don't judge "the Kid" by this hand, or any of his personal demons. This man ate, slept, breathed, and bled gambling. Every honest person here can admit that they have flaws. I sure as hell do. Ungar was continuously tormented by his. Read the book, you'll never look at Ungar the same way ever again. For me, learning about Ungar helped me to have a better understanding about what playing cards is really all about - and my own life, as well.

[DejectedPanda]

Playing A 4 heads up is not a donk play. Stu had some outs even if he got called there (which he did).

[dannyoo2]

@Ayoudell those people at the casino saying he was a donk must have had their relatives from back then play against stu and lost all their money against him, and stu was the reason they had a broke life

[rebar33]

I mean to not put their money in bad

[rebar33]

You gotta call it like you see it. Stuey put his money in bad. Good poker players do all they can to put their money in bad.

Why are they outside

[EdDy4RheelZ]

Back then, WSOP final tables were held outside of Binion's Horseshoe. Now, it's held inside Rio hotel.

[Zao911]

that was the first and only year it was held outside actually

[gr187]

Stu was and always will be the MAN when it comes to NL Hold'em
