  • back in the good ole days

  • I never seen Erik Seidel w out a hat before

  • That actually sucks soo bad. He finally made the right call

  • The first play by Leonidas was somewhat questionable but it was to keep the other players off-balance. The second one was a great bluff that would've gotten most people to fold. He only fooled himself with the third bluff but got lucky.

    He made some questionable plays but overall he played great. He made Hellmuth and Seidel look like fools at times.

  • Are there some other sites like PokerFrik where you can get 50 $ deposit free?

  • Leonidas is the best! He can never lose...

  • The 2003 USPC was very entertaining. Toto really did a number on Seidel.

  • and this guy won 11 bracelets ?? come on, the wsop are a joke!

  • looooool what a terrible fold

  • Mabuhay ang Pinoy....

  • Phil is a better player than this guy by far...the problem is that Phil is a conservative player. He likes to keep the pots small. Toto, however, is a wildly aggressive player. I think he knew he was ahead of Toto in most of his hands, but he kept making assumptions. He assumed someone wouldn't reraise him all in with a hand like AQ. When he finally stood up to Toto, Toto sucked out on him anyway. Sucks for Phil here.

  • @Disney312 lololololololoollol

  • u guys must be so dumb hellmuth gets it in way ahead and loses LMAO. he was playing a maniac player he didnt wanna put a ton in preflop he waited to pick him off like he did.

  • i felt hellmuths pain at the end

    wow what a bad beat

  • I like it when people say "your" and use it to insult someone's intelligence. Instead of "you're"

  • Toto is quite a good player; he has more than $3 million in live tournament winnings, has cashed 24 times in the World Series of Poker and has won a bracelet.

    With that said, he has a very loose style that will make him look like a genius at times and an absolute fool in others.

    I think his track record speaks for itself - and if nothing else, he provides some very entertaining poker.

  • This is once again an example of Phil expecting people to play "by the book". He doesn't expect players to be going all in with low pairs. He doesn't expect someone to reraise all in with AQ offsuit. He needed to adapt to Toto's play and run Toto over before Toto got a chance to do it to Phil.

  • he is right with the last comment, is it ever frustrating.

  • Probably the only person i know that has grown more immature with age

  • Has anyone ever hit Phil Hellmuth ? The guy always berates other players, what is the matter with this fool ?

  • So what man you cant handle a few words?

    Idiot!

  • i hear sam grizzle did

  • Phil is such a nit.

  • ...nah...he "just forgot to call" lol!!!

  • "Phil taking it well as allways"

    LOL xD

  • he took that loss pretty well! for him at least

  • i can dodge bullets? nah you dodge everything phil because you're a nit.

  • I saw the title and thought it was a spoof, Hellmuth vs Leonidas the King of the Spartans lmaooo.. but this was good too =P always fun to watch Phil rant away ahah

  • This is why Hellmuth is one of the best players out there. He knows the game extremely well. It seems like the only time he loses, is because a less skilled player gets luck on their side.

  • hahah i love Hellmuth's reactions especially when he gets angry, he's got a point in what he's saying though

  • why i lose with pocket ace two times and pocket king one time and lose 500 dollar in bellagio last winter. silly cowboy people bet everything with King ten in pre-flop and make straight when i have ace. people then say poker is skill. my girlfriend bet everything all in with king queen hearts and won over $1000 and other person have ace king and pocket jack. that must be skill then. even my girlfriend say she got lucky. poker is luck game.

  • ok so how much did you lose??

  • You are a skilled donk!

  • And you are still a skilled donk;)

  • and you are a silly idiot. Lucky people think they are skilled and call unlucky people donkey. In the end, everybody is a donk. real winners and sharks are casinos. so therefore you are donkey. have a nice day.

  • Ok, you dont know anything about poker, so please stop wasting YT with your nonsense, son.

  • lol hellmuth

    "he bets bets bets, i figured that out, waited to have a big hand, but i forgot to call him"

  • Hahaha, that was hilarious.

  • Well, its part luck, part skill. I mean the other day i was at a table, i had pocket 3"s, the flop was QQ2. this dude next to me bets big, i came over the top putting him all in. He didnt call and folded. Was that luck? I dont think so. There is some skill involved too.

  • that is such a dumb remark. Please keep your thoughts to yourself, you don't have a clue what you are talking about..

  • you can beat the average player on the long term, it's called statistics but at the look of your reply you won't know anything about that..

  • so why the fuck do you watch poker than?

  • i saw one poker video. hinkle beat akenhead because hinkle is lucky. and then people say poker is skill game. they say hellmuth is best player in the world. i youtube hellmuth and i see this video. anybody can beat hellmuth because poker is luck game. my mom can beat hellmuth.

  • Poker is luck and skill, just like..EVERYTHING in life. How FUCKING stupid can you possibly be? Does it take skill to catch a football? Yes, but if you're unlucky and someone misread a block, you're fucked when you turn around. Luck is everywhere, the only reason you can complain about it is because there's a word to describe it. If there was no luck, there would be no chance, if there were no chance, could you flip a coin for a decision? Learn what you're (attempting) to talk about.

  • It is luck. But the pressure is the thing that gets to people.

  • you are so stupid

  • lol noobs..

    thats why u all are such fishies and u think u no all bout the game, but the reality is u no nothing... Phil will destroy u 1x1, and u just have to hope u will get the type of imba luck Leonidas had

  • Everyone here is saying how bad Toto's plays are, but what did Phil do to stop him? I don't know the chip counts, but by the time Phil makes his stand, Toto has run over him so many times that he can simply afford to keep trying it. This clip is all 4 and 3 handed poker. Phil played TOO TIGHT.

  • Phil's problem is that he does read well, he does play well, his problem is that he misses opportunities to win hands. The second hand, you HAVE to raise there. If they have a set, they'll raise so you know. But you can't let someone with a straight or flush draw and maybe a funky suited king catch there. You HAVE to push big.

  • perfectly played by hellmuth.

    i thought toto looked like a total donk.

    hellmuth didnt want to flip with the AK and was just waiting to trap with the best hand. he got it. toto sucked out

  • Hellmuth should know better than to mess with a Dodger fan... we're far more superior when it comes to knowledge of the game.

  • Do you notice the RED 7-3?? The table cards are BLACK.. Only in 2003 are those errors allowed. LMAO!

  • No they aint... the 8 is black look at the contrast.

  • look closer. those r hearts

  • What in the world are you talking about, Matusowned? The 7-3 on the table are hearts. Hearts are red in every deck of cards I've ever seen.

  • what?? Hellmuth completely outplayed him, Toto won by that last hand by pure luck, that last hand had nothing do with skill or 'knowledge' on Toto's part

  • i love when people suck out on phil. lol

  • astig pare!

  • the thing is... phil is right, this is the kind of donk that always eliminates me from tourneys. they keep hitting the damn card

  • Yes Phil, what a terrible play putting all your money in with AQ. Terrible play. Not standard at all. Terrible play.

  • yes..one OLD poker saying is never lose with a queen in your hand..I THINK ITS IN SUPER SYSTEM

  • superchuck

    cmon the fuck poker is not 70% luck

    its much more skill based than that

    u obviously no fuckn nuthn about poker anyway

  • Madness? ...

    THISSS ... IS ... SPPPAAAARRRTTTAAAAA!

  • "He got all his money in with Ace Queen?!?!?!"

    Seriously Phil?

  • You cant fold AKs against Leonidas he's loose.

  • I think Phil was worried he had a pocket pair, maybe 10's or so-he didn't want to get it all in just flipping with the maniac when he felt he could catch him in a much worse spot(which he did beautifully) Phil won the poker part of the hand - Leonidas won the luck part(and the pot) sick...

  • Lindgren suffered the same scenarios( as Hellmuth) during Lindgren's Bracelet win last year 2008---The opponent WOULD NOT REGRESS..(Bonomo)-Only the scene had Bonomo having a decent holding, after the Flop--It's WEIRD how the plays in Poker are Parellel !

  • I thought reading the title of the video it was going to be a 300 spoof with hellmuth...

  • I love the video!

  • 8:06 LOL

  • wow, i dont see how this guy is at final table

    i mean all his plays sucked pretty hard, and the one that phil had him dominated he sucks out for a 7

    just unbelievable

    poor philly

  • Come on guys, srsly, Phil is the man and I love how he plays. He's right = GREAT T.V., but come on... poor Phil. Poker is 70% luck anyways, sometimes a terrible player like Leonidas can beat a legend!

  • totally agree, you suck gazz12345a. the ability to read people and have a great feel for the game heavily outweighs math ability. any donk can calculate outs and rough percentages.

  • fuk that must suck big time lol

  • First, there is a reason why Phil makes a LOT of final tables and TL does NOT. Second, if you notice, even as TL is bluffing Phil off, Phil has a LOT more chips. Third, the skill Phil is talking about includes the ability to put donks like TL on hands and get your money in good. Luck is a very short term concept. Skill ALWAYS prevails over time. ie, 11 bracelets vs. TL having 0.

  • Rofl this Leonidas guy is terrible.

  • @Stormy2021 why didi u say so?! because he BEAT an AMERICAN?!

  • @gemawie If you knew anything about poker, then you would understand. Still doesn't take away that Phil played too conservative though.

  • that was brutal.

  • Wow...sfida all'ultimo sangue....si sono dati delle belle sportellate.

  • "If no luck was involved, i would win every single game"

    wrong phil. If no luck was involved, then this game would be pure math game and some of my friends along with everyone else from cal tech and mit would win. Poker doesn't work that way. Varkoni is from MIT and he tried but doesn't work. that's why after his win in main event, he couldn't win anything else. Luck is the reason why poker exists.

  • I hope Phil comes across this comment... :D

  • I'm not gonna deny it. Phil is 11 times bracelet winner and he's pro at this game. But he sounds so arrogant when he says "if no luck was involved, i would win every single game" If there's no luck, it's pure math game. my high school friends from mit, cal tech, stanford, ucb, ucla studied every math-related field, such as game theory, classes beyond calculus, etc. they're one of geekiest math people u can find. but are they good at poker? they lose to me although we just play $20 buyin tourney.

  • If there's no luck, it's pure math game

    Here's where your logic fails you sir.

  • that wasn't pure math.... that was pure donkey.

  • And also, Chris Ferguson may be the big math guy but math isn't the main and only reason why hes' good. Chris Ferguson doesn't show ANY tells and also, he can read people and calculate everything in quick matter of time and make rational decisions using the given situation. I know people who suck at math but who can kill people in poker so easily because they're sharp and know how to read people easily and know when to depend on outs and when not to. math itself won't win u bracelets.

  • "My friends from MIT, Cal tech, stanford, ucv, ucla"

    "I know people who suck at math but who can kill people in poker so easily because they're sharp and know how to read people "

    Shut the fuck up trying to impress people with pretentious bullshit. Your amazing friends probably don't exist and you're probably shit at poker.

    PS Phil was joking with that quote. I know because my friends from the KGB told me.

  • oh, and u know so much shit, right? Talk ya fucking bitch. I know what i'm talking about. I know you suck shit at poker. If not, then come to Hawaiian Gardens and play against me. I play 5/10 live. You prolly one of them microstakes player online or freeroll player. And I do have friends who go to those schools. We just meet up 1-2 times a year and play poker for fun. home game $50 sng style. I win majority of the time and i don't know shit about game theory or any math courses above calc 3.

  • at 0:18 Phil's chips are perfectly stacked it looks cool

  • ffs every video on here shows hellmuth gettin sucked out on or beat...is there any where he wins a hand...

  • i now what im saying atleast....its true that most people that have putt out phil on tournaments have usually worse hand and gets lucky on river...phil normally dont take any riskes if hes not sure he have the better hand...but its not only skills in poker its a bit off luck allso,just luck at gus hansen

  • lmao

  • phil really is the best player in the world... and he is rite ... if there were no luck involved hed win every1! everytime phil gets knocked out its not due to bad play,,, its because of no luck and bad beats!

  • You're saying he never ever gets knocked out cuz of skill? Dont be foolish

  • nigga plz, if no luck were involved, my friends from MIT would win every single game bcz they know every concepts behind game theory, probability, etc. I'm sure people from high mathematics background would win every single game if no luck was involved.

    Poker doesn't work that way. of all wsop me champs, only 2 have strong math background, who are chris ferguson and robert varkoni. Ferguson is good poker player but where's varkoni? No luck involved = pure math game.

  • Good Idea, but the first two words you said sort of diminished your idea. lol

  • first two words "nigga plz" might make me think i'm ignorant in general. but it's slang of saying "bitch please, get real" never meant that in racist way. I say it all the time to imply "bitch please" or "get real"

  • phill really sucks so much

  • when Phil had pocket Queens he should have re-raised Todo. Phil even says,"Todo plays reckless" So if Phil would have re-raised all in. I'm sure Todo would have called and Phil could have taken down that pot. And for all the Hellmuth haters, do me a favor and stuff your dick up kevygee's ass. He is a butt pirate so I've heard, I dont care but it was what I heard. And don't reply heavy kevy, your blocked as well as OWNED

  • i hate cocky ass players who suck cock and are lucky like todo. hess a fucking idiot smiling thinking that he can look up phil hellmuth. he shuld go fuck himself becuz hes a no name.

  • how the fuk can ya say that.. he gottta bad beat dikhead.

  • It was obvious from his betting patterns that todo was trying to buy the pot with the queen jack. His attempt to represent the king was obvious.

  • Leonidas is the perfect example of why being a poker "pro" don't mean shit.

  • All i've been looking at these last days were entertaining videos about Phill getting beat all the time.. Now this video is the first in which i really hoped he would win. Moron Toto.

  • Phil is still the better player.

  • lol

  • Todo destroys the conservative player.

  • what a moron Leonidas

  • Leonidas Sucks or????

  • Leonidas is a donk. That's why you don't hear about him anymore.

  • That's strange; I guess you didn't hear about the 3 big tournaments he won in 2008 or the 4th place finish in the WPT Championship event last August.

  • That is why i hate holdem sometimes. That is unbelievable. To go all in with a lousy pair and hit the trips!!! And what amuses me most - these idiot acts like hes really won. But he didn't. I am shure that in these situations u just HAVE TO APOLOGIZE like in tennis when the ball hits trhe net or in pool when the wrong ball sinks. But act like you WON and crying YES, I DID IT - it is just DISCUSTING.

  • You hate Holdem?lol

    I play 7 Card Stud Hi/low.

    That is sometime unbelievable

  • i think Toto is somewhat comparable to Kido Pham, whereas Kido is an unbelievable psycho kamikaze-king - Toto can hold back when he thinks its time to give up on a pot

  • LOL he said hes embarrassed by the way he acted?!?! Hell, this was 2003.  He's acted like an ass many more times between then and now.

  • i don't like Phil(because of his style), but here he played good, and had "luck" like D.Negreanu. not funny

  • That is the worst way to lose. Ive had the same thing, super aggressive player who you let run over you knowing there will be a spot where you will take all his chips. You correctly find the spot and then he sucks out. This is the one time I can forgive Phil. That hurt.

  • I really don´t like Phil....but I agree

    that hurt.

  • Helmuth is the best but his problem is he folds to easy so people will go all in and suck out

  • Toto is terrible, that's why he lost that PPT title against Tom McEvoy despite having a monster chip lead with 3 players left.

  • the first hand Tom played at the final table.. Tom McEvoy folds off like over a third of his stack to a tiny Toto bluff on the turn, Toto had no pair no draw..

    The worst mistake you can make when playing against a player like Toto is to just assume theyre terrible players. Toto is a great player

  • And later he lost all chips in stupid coin flips, he had about 70%-80% of the chips.

  • luv hellmuth

  • THIS IS SPARTAAAAAA!!!!!

  • Phil does not play perfect math poker he uses instinct and reading ability to win. Internet players will never understand this philosophy and that's why they hate Phil.

  • dont be racist you retard

  • Hellmuth set Toto up folding the AK and the QQ then on the last hand shown he was a favorite to win but lost to the river. My question is: why didin't Phil call on the AK or the QQ or raise all in on the QQ hand. His strategy is old and he need to change it. This has happened to him a lot recently and he needs to change and make moves with great hands like QQ and AK.

  • well, he had to do something right to get 2nd place..!
