The 300,000$ Hand

[xxyanlixx]

this pot is relatively small compare to the other hand phil played against antonius. that hand was 807k.

[KevinDorner]

@19JOERI90 Yes, they are multi-millionaires.

[Ser282]

Dancing with the evil of poker...Its awesome ur description :)

[frankythered]

Faked the bluf and got catched by reverse psychology. Sweet.

[PlayaplayaAP]

You guys dnt know shit lol

[SuperOldwiseman]

I read a book called SECRET ADVANTAGES OF A POKER PRO and it has alot of great information on what you have to do to become a great player! it was definitly worth five bucks on amazon and barnes n noble. you can download it in seconds.

[KevinDorner]

Ivey should have fold on the river. What was he expecting to beat Antonius would reraise him all in with after he has shown strength? Certainly not a flush. There are too many hands Ivey loses to: aa, qq, aq, a9, a4. All of them make a better full house. I don't wanna criticize Phil Ivey since he is the best poker player in the world. But that was a bad call.

[ScottishDoonie]

@KevinDorner What a ridiculous comment. Ivey deserves a ton of credit for thinking about the call and not insta-calling. I dont know anyone who would lay down that hand. He cant put Antonious 100% on AA. AQ, A9, QQ because they are all potentially 3-bet hands pre flop against 2 other players. I suspect Ivey put him on A10. I cant believe you said that was a bad call.

[KevinDorner]

@ScottishDoonie It's a difficult spot. Hard to get away from a full house, no doubt. It's just that I can't imagine Antonius would raise all in on the river without a full house. He wouldn't move all in with a flush or a set of aces. And if he has a full house, his is better than Ivey's. Ivey could only beat a bluff, really. And I don't see Antonius bluffing often enough on such a dangerous board - especially after Ivey has shown so much strength - to make this call profitable on long term.

[ScottishDoonie]

@KevinDorner :) Thats a pretty good explanation and analysis to be fair. To be honest though, even if I was in that situation with that perspective of the hand, I'd still have to pay him off, especially as I'd been betting into him the whole way. Thanks for a decent reply, doesnt happen often on poker videos. Peace

[elxokas]

got on the flop, got on the turn, BYE ON THE RIVER

[eIzzuqpuzzle]

Moderator1: But would Patrick Antonius make this move with anything else?

Moderator2: Hhmm a king flush?

:DDD

[PrinceTuten]

i saw Phil win $75k online in one hand at fulltilt one time

[PunkAstillero]

TAKE YOUR SPECIAL BONUS OF 600$ ON FULL TILT POKER, JUST PUT " WINEASY " ON PROMOTION CODE AND BEAT 'EM ALL

[johnsmith7490]

Everyone knows that Fulltilts cash out is is rigged!!! You win and god forbid you cash out you will lose the next grand you play..Thats BS. That’s why real live webcam poker on pokerview has me hooked cuz I don’t worry about these bots or fixed software and shit.

[Milkou991]

lol look at jesus 2:21

[StaticDonut]

I would have never fold that full house... Ivey have pot so much money in the pot after the river..to get information...and I would never fold.

[gunsblazin1000]

woooooow talk about a fukin river crazy

[dhernandezq]

the best is to know that you made good moves during tha whole hand, i think Ivey played better, but both of them are poker masters

[Milkou991]

Antonius is fucking god

[Boristhewowmaster]

The title " The 300,000$ Hand " Spoils if Ivey is going to call or not lol

[soulfoodmarketing]

LOL

CHEAPENTERTAINMENT:)

[samtheman467]

I am going to admit I am too scared to play these high stakes poker. I watched this video 5 times, and the thought process these players utilize are so calculated, precise and, most of all, insane.

These guys are beasts. Unhuman

[championpokerguy]

The pot here is nothing compared to Blind Hit online poker's $1 Million. I just love the river card.

[skearo75013]

from 2% on the the flop...

but I did the same thing to someone who didnt protect his set

[cyao22]

what's the fuck at the end?

[maroun77]

im a casino manager and i know that as poker player A4 not a hand at all

[dlb8685]

Must remind him of Moneymaker too.

[Beyak117]

Dude he got rivered.. lololol.

[krazyazn208]

damn a card can kill phil ivey? thats insane

[Fuel1]

that pot in relation to ivey's money is fuck all

[REP0M4N]

Really?

Next time you see him, ask him about that.

[rockardross]

@REP0M4N he might be his bank manager

[Dr3aMCaster]

@REP0M4N

Well Phil Ivey is worth around 150 million dollars.

[circuitdesign]

I've concluded that most of you amateur poker players commenting on this thread are overweight, sweaty, fools who dream that if they can win the Main Event they might actually have a chance of meeting a woman and having sex.

Good luck, all in!

[REP0M4N]

Whatever you have on your heart that needs to be unleashed, just spill it out like it means something

[circuitdesign]

I did. I feel better now. Thanks for your understanding. (But everyone knows that what I said is true. It's OK, though, everyone needs a dream.)

[knowledge117]

@REP0M4N lmfao that is awesome. i will use this saying one day good sir

[sande1212]

ohh man that was funnny nice one circuitdesign ahahhahaah suckers :))))

[nickcigich]

@circuitdesign lawlz

[MrSmartComment]

iveys thoughts Hmm i lost 200k dollars... oh well got unlucky

[simonjeste]

@MrSmartComment which is what ANYONE playing poker at proper bankroll would be thinking there... saying "I'm good 4 out of 5 times" is what you have to do in those situations, i.e. "love the action, hate the result".

[MrSmartComment]

yup man, bankroll management is the god of poker

[ptnpoker]

Talk about breaking your heart! But that is poker.

[noooooooooam]

is it a cash game?

[ngolengzai]

yes.

They are using their own money

[MrJohnnyk27]

i dont get it antonious has triple aces triple jacks are stroger what is this\?

[aftersteps]

if the river come out 9 is different story. tony g all in phil ivey gonna win =D

[evdragon]

omfg what a lucky guy , a 4 in river , luckyyyyy never seen

[kingcityguru]

He would have also won with a Q on the river.

[jposco]

i HATE tony g

[074Jesse]

I hate this commentator..... BRING KAPLAN

[butters226]

@074Jesse really? that guy sucks ass

[estimisav]

what antonius had on the flop is called backdoor full house draw my friends =))

[ml497]

Not to forget, he also had backdoor quad possibilities. No way is he laying this hand down.

[Th3Z0ne]

lmao, as in... every time u flop a pair haha

[naiki4sparta]

that's what i call lucky^^

[totaselpioculo]

impossible

[superdave31]

im suprised at patrick tho -every big hand ivey seems to have the nuts where as patrick is calling with rags i.e. liek this hand except patrick spiked on the river....

and other hands like the one where patrick had ace 10 and ivey had a full house on a board with two aces.

I know youll slate me for this but when the mega money goes in it always seems ivey has the best of it and ive not actually seen him do an e.g. 250k bluff

[circuitdesign]

I know Phil is the master, but if it was me, I would have checked the river and then called whatever Antonius bets. Of course, I would still have lost the hand, but I wouldn't have lost as much money. Most likely, Antonius would not have gone all in if Phil had checked. He probably would have made a value bet of $40,000 to $90,000, putting Phil on K-Q or Q-J. Still would be expensive, though. :)

[superdave31]

dude antonios was goign all in there every day of the week REGARDLESS if its would have been like a 150% raise of the pot

It was obvius ivey had a huge hand, and patrick would have shoved all in

and also.. if your checking on the river with a full house then why are you even playing poker? i mean do you want a royal flush before you shove all in on the river or something?

[circuitdesign]

Hey genius, I'm sure you saw Rounders, right? What was Mikey's big mistake against KGB? Remember, Mikey had a full house. And he lost. Even the pros said that Mikey should have just called. There was plenty of money in the pot already, just like in this $300,000 hand real life video. You should think before you criticize me. I have a World Series of Poker bracelet (replica). Shizzle!

[superdave31]

no ihavent seen rounders but ill take your word for it.

The only time i could agree with you checking a full house would be e.g. when the board is 8 8 jack and the turn is a jack (and you hold an 8 in your hand) - other than that, i dont think you can get away from a full house like this

and also, gteed patrickl was going all inon this hand no matter what

[joking84]

the difference is patrick went all-in and they both are worth millions of dollars.

[MrBollinski]

@circuitdesign

thats a film... oke its based on real life poker but the "tells" he sees is bullsh!t, so every time you see a man eating a cookie in a weird way he has a monster.....

[surrealpast]

You don't know what you are talking about. Phil played perfectly, he just got really unlucky. He had a 5% chance of loosing and it would be crazy for him to fold. If you check with a full house in Ivey's position thats just donk. The only reason you are saying all this is because you knew what each player had.

[xpoondiggy]

exactly

[hkistink]

@surrealpast

he would lost to

qq

Aq

A9

A4

AA

[onlnr2]

you're check/calling the full house there? lol.

[methmade]

why is it always Phil and Patrick with sick hands.

[Vmasterpimp]

any amature would instant call patrick when he said all in. but ivey thought about it for a while, even though he called. he had doubts about his hand.

[WitGovern]

Phil would be god if he folded...

[darqblue42]

god what a brutal river.

that's why i never feel too comfortable with bottom set / full house when the board pairs. =/

[FreeZey78]

I feel a little uncomfortable but most of the time any action you get will come from trips or sometimes even an A high flush.

The hand I fine a tough one to place myself with and get value from is the idiot end of the straight.

[ZehRawen]

you can't have a fullhouse without a pair on the board -.- so are you always uncomfortable with fullhouse?wtf

[darqblue42]

I meant with bottom set, when the turn or river pairs the board, trips can catch up more easily than if we have middle- or top-set, even though we still have a full house.

[therealkabs]

WOW set of 9s for Ivey is baaaad luck for him daaaammmnnnnn, money maker did the same thing. And the aces and queens were present lol

[qazwsxoi]

I love cash!! i would kill for cash!!

[ekim051084]

i love having sex with women, i would kill to have sex with women

[vietnegro]

dMN.....i want that stone cold poker face antonius has!!!!!!

[PlayaplayaAP]

Ivey looks justa lil devestaded

[AlvaroVasquez123]

wow!

[fourfives89]

Ivey was a 98.3% favourite on the flop!

[thevoid1231]

has to be more :S? hitting a one outer=2% hitting running perfect cards should be less then 1%?

[Juntahh]

just go play on Ftilt

happens all day

[todoz11]

he didnt have to get perfect running cards

, he could also have gotten aces on both turn and river, which would have given him quads.

[pmanngw]

Ivey played this hand really badly. The correct play would have been for him to smash the shit out of Antonius when the cards were flipped over.

[REP0M4N]

There is no bad way to play those hands.

No matter what, they end up being all-in at any point. They were both trapping each other. Poker can be like this sometimes. No merci and cold.

I mean how can you fold a full or the tree aces. This is exactly a situation where a player goes broke.

[pmanngw]

You mis-understand me. The point I was making is that Ivey should have used physical violence on Antonius when he realised he was beat. By doing so he minimises the chances of Antonius entering the pot with him again.

[REP0M4N]

I was just making a point on "Ivey played this hand really badly".

Sorry, I didn't get/see the "physical violence" part. Probably why I didn't comment on that part.

[ccnt89]

antonius has a full house on the river very nice hand beats phills three nines bit unlucky though

[Uriel333]

ivey had a full house, not 3 nines

[TeexaYang]

yea russian get out!

[therandom2]

if he did a laydown . that wud hav been insane

[julyboy66]

¸tony g suck

[Garush47]

what a interesting flop

[danprentice2008]

how is it bad announcing? the kicker is weak, so weak that it isn't one of his best five cards

[X54bears54X]

yeah the four was his fourth best card

[MrCheckRaise1]

of course with the 4 on the river antonius makes AAA44.

[ingislakur]

They talked about að weak kicker from antonius on the turn

But on the turn the board was Q 9 A A

So the weak kicker doesn´t matter anymore.

His best 5 card where on the board plus the A he holded.

Bad announcer i think.

[rigbst]

so if Ivey had A10 it would be a split pot? I don't think so...

[MrCheckRaise1]

it's different, if ivey had AT his hand would have been AAAQT, instead antonius with A4 has AAAQ9, because his other hole card doesn't play unless a four comes, and indeed happened.

[X54bears54X]

uhhhhhhhh huh?

[masakenji]

you missed the point. the commentator made it sound like the 4 is the kicker, when it's actually not.

antonius kicker would've being the board not the 4.

[f8twista]

he had aces full of fours.

[minclLess]

No, the point of the commentator was if Ivey had an Ace with a kicker bigger than a 9, and not a Queen, Ivey would also win with better trip Aces. If Ivey had an Ace with a kicker lower than a 9, they would chop.

So Patrick could not beat much of what Ivey would bet on the turn.

[fourfives89]

It still matters. On the turn, Antonius still can't beat AK, AQ, AJ, AT or A9. So there are still alot of Ax that beat him.

[RickAstleyForever]

i like the look on Antonius's face at the very end, i think he was a bit surprised that Phil was that strong, all handled with class though, good poker

[KnowYourTeam]

If I was Patrick I would have folded flop and turn, but on the river I would have dipped into my wallet, stuck another $100k on the table, and raised all-in. You can actually do that in London during the hand, which is where this was played. Ivey should have check raised flop turn and river. This is the textbook spot for the trifecta. Ivey should read SuperSystem III.

[acskee]

ur an idiot and all talk

i can't even be bothered explaining why..

[jackeees]

lame

[KonstantineTheGreat1]

what a hand!!!

[namsu22]

thats sick

[maximarisio]

that sux

[xylitol333]

from what i see this guy antonius is a calling machine. he has no clue where he is in a hand and is constantly outplayed by ivey, but this time he got lucky.

[Assassin546]

idiot, you try to judge Antonius after watching a poker Tv-show. You know they only show the most exiting hands. The show lasts one hour, the poker session maybe 12 hours or more. Patrick is one of the toughest cash players in the world, anyone playing at this level is one of the worlds best players, except maybe a really rich business man or something.

[asong1588]

My goodness... Patrick Antonious... Gus Hansen.... How are they Pro's???? Seriously??? How many times are we going to watch them draw out and suckout every single hand??? They don't know poker, there out there just gambling their money.... Do they even think about their opponents hands???? Give me a break... The only Poker pro's out there are Phil Ivey, Daniel, Esfandiari, Laak, Harrington, Lederer.... Fuck Gus, fuck Antonious... Can't believe they are considered "PRO'S"......

[ViggiMassi]

I agree a little about Patrick, but you win the Aussie Millions (or a major tourney for that matter) and then you can talk smack about Gus. Yeah, on the internet, everyone is a poker pro.

[ShredJK]

How about u kill the biggest online cash games out there, and then you can talk smack about Patrik. These guys arent playing some micro cashgame with 20 big blinds behind them.

[asong1588]

??? what the hell are you talking about? lol

[willemdawillem]

Dude, OMG.. He called 15K on the turn.. NO WAY you can EVER fold an ace there, lol.. So funny..

Patrik consistently beats all the big games that exist.. Patrik's level of thinking goes far beyond what is even possible with your brain.. Certainly donks like you who think calling 15K on the turn against a TAG like Ivey is a "station" play.. LOL..

[asong1588]

WHEN did I ever criticize his play about calling 15k on the turn????? when?????????? idiot...

[willemdawillem]

Dumb ass, I have to explain your own comment to you?? Ok.. lol... in your previous comment you said Patrik has no clue, is not even thinking and just puts his cash in like a gambler. If you had even one clue about poker you would know these players are either called "calling stations" or "maniacs"..

In this hand we talk about he just made a very normal call and you act like he's some crazy gambler...... you... have... no..... FKING CLUE

[EGarrett01]

This looks like the same situation as the JJ hand. They had a prop bet where Antonius thought it was really unlikely that Ivey had a red ace in his hand. There are reasons that these guys do what they do. Don't jump to make ignorant comments, please.

[little69111]

sooooooooooo sick

[Avidago]

It is ..

[investur]

Ah, when can we see a pro fold a hand? sheesh.

[Avidago]

yeah you would probably fould it,

wouldnt you Daniel Negreanu..

[ViggiMassi]

Ahahahahaha :')

[Kuuba2006]

When was this played?

[REP0M4N]

2007 in the Million Dollar Cash Game Show from the UK

[FOFPLAYER]

sick sick hand.. first comment btw
