WSOP 2006 Final Table Take 9/10

[dfsp95]

jamie gold is a lucky donk...

[let88it88be]

wsop has some silly rules. when its just 2 people in the hand, you should definately be allowed to show 1 or even both of your cards.

[ceramicitbhu]

Alan Cunningham is my new Hero!! Overall better game then anybody.

[superdave31]

@ceramicitbhu disagree, h ecan make great lay downs, but equally he makes lay downs when hes miles ahead

[ceramicitbhu]

@superdave31 Two things:

1) Alan was only one who came close to standing up to Gold with his game (more than one occasion, despite Gold's special commentary on his own cards lol)

2) To each is his own! I liked his game better than anybody, I found his gameplay way awesome considering his chip count. If you disagree with me. I respectfully disagree with you.

[HitemupWhoshotya]

@UTubeCommentsAreLOL and you woullda done better ? your the idiots you wouldnt even make it past the 1st hand at the WSOP

[thematt121295]

gold cheated no one gets as lucky as him

[MarkoAnzio]

Wasicka would have gotten 2nd anyway because he started the hand with more chips. Horrible fold.

[Wazzamazizzi]

Wasicka could have won it right there (getting the chiplead). Everybody all in, no shame in losing, it would be all over and you'd still be 2nd.

[thisfuckinsucks1]

how good is cunniggham in this whole tourney? phenomenal!

[artysmokes]

Gold was incredibly lucky, but then he had such a huge lead that he could afford to see every flop. None of the other players would have played 43 off, but he did it. Wasicka must have felt sick seeing the flush come up.

[Luisa7x]

this show ended when allen got busted

[starcityoldy]

such a bad fold by wasicka.

[shakabrahtastic]

@starcityoldy

probably the worst fold ive ever seen. why even play poker if youre gonna fold a hand like that? fuck the money or alll other considerations. i mean damn a straight flush draw?? i would fold that hand with a gun to my head. id put 95% of my bank roll on that hand. obviously ive never had to make a decision for the stakes that wasica was deciding for and understandably he was thinking about the extra 2 million he could get by finishing second but still man...you gotta play the game

[TheVDread]

gold is such a prick

[BxSQUIRREL]

shut the fuck up bashing jamie.. would u be complaining if u got good cards .. noo so shut the fuck up u jealous pricks.. he played solid .. the only thing where he was lucky is all the donks in the tournament goin all in on jamie when he had the best hand

[NegreanuBoy87]

@kormentra4175

Ahah.. Lets play 1 on 1 my full tilt name is cudren7281 :]

And yep

Full Tilt just announced to all the facebook fans that new players can head to Full Tilts webpage, then create an account usin the code AMERICAS.

It's a amazing bonus deal. Make a deposit and they DOUBLE it + a few other important perks. It's limited to the first few thousand people that sign up with this

[robswift008]

people should just do as jamie gold says,when he bluffs he takes more time and dosnt talk as much

[kokai5]

The Bluff of Paul Wasicka and the constant pressure of Jamie Gold Broke Cunningham confidence for the first time in his life.

[magget16]

i mean how can people look at this and call jamie gold a good player? KJ is not a good hand.

[sonofmunson]

Gold was fucking luckbox for the whole main event.

[yady142]

I just want to thank Full Tilt Poker for giving me 600$ when I used the Referral Code: FTUS600 when I signed up for a new account.

allen is the man! although he lost :D !

[RS22s]

The WSOP final table is all about luck. Everyone goes all in

[MrDude129]

its funny, I watched High Stakes Poker before watching this final table.. I thought, "man, jamie gold is a TERRIBLE cash game player, how in the world did he win the main tournament?" Now I know... he outdrew EVERYONE.

For anyone who thinks jamie gold is a good player, watch him play cash games on HSP. At the end of the show he's literally BEGGING players to check, it's disgraceful.

watch?v=erNjXtuKawU#t=8m28s listen to him beg. Watch the full video for more laughs at his disgraceful play

[JohnF30Music]

lol donkaments... those tournaments aren't poker. poker is a grind with bankroll management

[DanieINegreanu2700]

@furtron7665

Okay dude.. can we play sometime my full tilt name is bicie5119 =)

And its official

I heard people talkin all over their FB walls that ya should now sign up using the bonus code AMERICAS at Full Tilts web page.

I think its the recommended way if your a beginner to start playing.. They will double your first deposit plus multiple other important perks. Sadly only going work for the first 1000 people that create an account usin it

[ColourboyMarkyboy]

that jack show was genius. worth a penalty. still, a f***ing cheat tho

[AnimeIntroStyles4]

Wasicka thought jamie was on a higher flush draw, and layed it down thinking even with a straight flush draw only a straight would save him.

[retroherb]

Jamie Gold must have about a million online accounts, I get sucked out on like that all the time. Totally agree with Wasicka, Gold is out of line this whole final table, just using his stack to bully people out, and when people do look him up he hits the miracle card.

[erialton]

Cunningham went too far. he is a disgrace to poker.

[JohnnyCornslice]

"I'm getting the right price. I'm 50/50." LOL. Donk.

[anttiniemi2000]

Does the great Johnny Chan ever feels regreatful for bringing Jamie Gold to the poker scene (he mentored Gold a little bit before the main event)?

[Doppe1ganger]

looooooooool, this is sick this is sick this is sick, he thought Jamie had trips man and just wanted to end second.

[justfunlp]

wasika u pussy how the fuck u can fold straight flush draw on flop u are always favorite vs any hand expect 3 of kind

[rovert40]

@justfunlp My guess is that he was fearing just that, but he still should have called.

[lollerz16]

@justfunlp What if one of themhad the nut flush draw? Then all he's got is 8 outs for his whole tourney life.

[lollerz16]

I would have folded too. The difference in prize money was 4 million or something. Plus, anything can happen heads up.

[erialton]

@lollerz16 yeah. But you are a loser.

[lollerz16]

@erialton You're clearly a dumb internet troll. At least insult people with some level of intelligence/humour next time please.

[SurvivingTheHorizon]

That really is a tough spot for wasicka. Instinct says its an auto all in. If its a 3 way all in and jamie busts both of them then wasicka still gets second place prize money because he has binger covered. But if he calls, Binger no doubt folds to move up to second place himself. He can't even be sure his flush draw is live- higher flushe draws have to be in jamie's range here. Not really sure what the right play is there, very difficult decision.

[YoureSmokingCrack]

Wasica...seriosuly what the hell man.

His balls shrank after playing so bold, (Bluffing AC with KQ when AC had 10z)

Then fold a straight flush draw? I mean what better opportunity to gamble?

We all see that those that take big risk and truly gamble go on to win it.

I cant believe he folded that...it would totally changed the momentum and he couldve ran over jamie heads up...

Seriously tho why even call the pre flop re raise if you werent going to commit if you flopped a monster draw like that

[roadhockey]

2:38 I think that is classless doing a huge fist pump because you are lucky enough to hit a King.

[b2theec]

everyone bashing jamie are tards...they dont show every hand so his luck ratio is skewed...and you cant hate on luck. he plays weak hands because he has the chips and can afford to do so.

he got lucky sometimes, but thats poker and if you cant live with it then stop playing.

[RIgnace]

I like how everyone rags on Gold eventhough Binger played soo much worse than Gold

[UndercoverLdn]

Pathetic how Gold is celebrating....glad that piece of shit's money is now going to people who actually deserve it... too bad Wasica didn't call, Up&down straight flush draw, dumbass...

[b2theec]

@UndercoverLdn dude ur so bad. his fold got him 2nd place money. if he calls the other guy folds and paul could still go out in third. all u scrubs talking out your ass obv have never learned how to play strategic poker.

[erialton]

@b2theec you are so stupid...Don't try to explain poker pal. You have no clue.

[jkilla11789]

he got lucky played decent but def. disobeyed the rules. You are not allowed to tell your hand ina tourney like that.

[errberdurb]

LOLL at half of these comments.... last time i checked he won the WSOP and you didn't

[angielog44]

@koningkorkY MY THINKING IS ALLEN IS GOOD BETTER THAN GOLD, BUT HE PLAYED BADLY THE FINAL TABLE BECAUSE HE FOLDED WHEN HE SHOULDNT AND RAISED HE HE SHOULDNT.

[koningkorky]

Gold is just a retard tbh, Allen deserves it

[pmam1968]

Actually almost every time Gold told the truth about his hand (as Chad pointed out at about 6:34). Usually his opponent wasn't prepared to take him at his word and paid for it.

[08zea]

GOLD DID AN AMAZING TOURNEMENT

[Coopafly21]

@08zea ya an amazing job of cheating by disobeying tournament rules like flashing the jack to binger

[znoxYO]

i fucking hate gold

[lister1nePaz]

LOL fucking gold

[SuperChalkster]

he tells em he has the nutz they call ....he tells em he has nothing and they fold! lmao!

[Coopafly21]

@SuperChalkster ya which you are not allowed to tell they let him get away with bullshit that entire tournament

[lllshokoboylll]

sooooo obiuuuus he was bluffing.. playing with his cards? telling ill show u after?.. showing 1 card the other guy thinks he has? wow blufffff

[BEATROCKPAUL]

How can Wasicka fold that one, bad, bad play! There was no better chance to win that thing, no balls at all.

[thirdaxe]

cant believe wasicka folded that. Wonder what he put gold on, he seemed to be really worried about Golds hand. Even if gold had a pair, or two pairs, even trips, wasicka's draws would knock him out, whiich he would have if he called.

[10crow]

worst fold iv ever seen. cleary playing for 2nd place

[lamegliogioventu]

the guy would call with 1 card if he could... f*cking retard

[deazn1]

I wish I won 99% of my all-ins too

[deazn1]

I wish I won 99% of my all-ins.

[jericho2281999]

When you're consistently being outplayed by a better opponent, one of the ways to deal with it is to force them to take coin flips with you.

[outrightrocker]

Everyone was saying how much gold sucked out, it was hardly a suckout because it was virtually 50:50.

[ucciditiduevolte]

wasicka folded the 7-8 of spades?

WTF?

[Optimus1991Prime]

gold is a bit of a prick

[frusionnn]

@Optimus1991Prime why do you say that? because most of his bluffs' work?

[JohnF30Music]

how fucking lucky was gold

[addy1231]

@JohnF30Music not because he won this, The call was 50 50 nearly, but because he cant fold a good hand, he is a very normal player

[JohnF30Music]

@addy1231 he still is lucky... the call was 50 50 but the chances of him making it after seeing the opponents cards is lower

[newcilad]

@JohnF30Music, Jammy Gold 

[alexandergreenb]

@JohnF30Music He was way overstacked on him. He should absolutely call in that scenario, with 3 people at the table.

[rafeqdemarco]

jamie gold is a one motherfucking lucky fish - most of them u can meet online playing poker... They've always way the best hands while u're crushed just like that... JAMIE GOLD U DONKEY

[p4nd1ll3r0]

For me wasicka, made a understable fold, because maybe another player had a flush draw, and higher.. x) so he was only for the straight flush, that was only ONEE out

[gobstopper33]

considering he had like 3bb invested in the pot, its not actually a really terrible fold. Versus a legit range that is willing to go with that flop he cant expect to have much more than 55-60% equity, and especially with a player behind, a I nd a drooler like Jamie I really think a fold is fine.

[peterpetrelli45]

gold always tell the truth he never lies in those situatins why have nobody picked that up lol?

[blazejoker]

lol gold clapping his hands like he made a good call

[naiki4sparta]

I'd never fold 78 of spades in that spot

[matparkinson]

not even if you'd make like $2 million more if you fold & binger was eliminated?

[naiki4sparta]

well, not even then. if I ever reach final table in the main event, I'll promise you to play for the win and not for 2nd place :)

[cashguy1]

He had a huge opportunity there. By calling and winning he would only be down about 5:3. The fold was a fold of a man who was playing for second, not playing to win.

[Xcernator2]

@naiki4sparta That was a tough lay down, you only say that because you saw the rest of the hand result. I probably would of folded because it would be the best day

[Bell0my]

man... the only way gold could eliminate cunningham was through a suckout

[icandodgebullets86]

i dont like defending gold,but u obviously dont know what a suck out is!

[Bell0my]

cunningham was almost a 3 to 2 favorite preflop. and the call was ridiculous - he would have been dominated if cunningham had AK or AJ and at a disadvantage if he had any ace.

[icandodgebullets86]

it doesn't matter about what if situations...

the fact of the matter is that cunningham having a less than 6 to 4 favourite is nowhere near a suckout!!

so admit you're wrong,and move on ..

[Anaxagoran]

You also have to consider how much Gold has too, he was able to make tons of moves like this with the huge chip lead he had

[Snailbarf]

the perceptions of what your opponent has changes when you're 4 handed or less. More hands become possible for all in stands.

[djdarklyceum]

wassika will look back at the choice he made and never forgive himself. worst. fold. ever. you play for first, not 2nd or 3rd.

[Mitjitsu]

I agree that was a very weak fold given the circumstances. He has no chance against Gold since he has 10 to 1 chiplead over him. He has Binger covered so he could guarantee himself second if Gold sucks out on both of them. But if you care more about climbing the money ladder then folding would be the best, but I'm still fairly certain it's a -Ev fold.

[Snailbarf]

it's one of the worst laydowns in wsop history right there by Wasicka. Do you want to win or not basically.

[marcko90000]

A call is wrong. A fold is wrong. This is the birth of so sick for me and Wasicka basically summed it up with 'disgusting'.

[adrianehm]

Wow amazing plays by Jamie Gold. He single handedly knocked out 7 of the 8 players in a 1v1 all-in draw. Very lucky w the cards, but also excellent reads on the other players

[ILLMATIC2222]

the more chips you have, the more you can gamble!!!! i would hate to lose with Adime piece

[SneakerHustler]

of all poker players...I dislike Gold the most.....

[lookaguru]

KJ he calls? What a donkey!

[YumeNK]

no he's not. He's only slight underdog vs pair of tens. With such a big stack, you can gamble.

[fuggybootnling]

Whatever the case, can we all agree that three way hand may just be the most talked about, debated, and just plain crazy situation in WSOP history? It gets my vote!

[lookaguru]

I don't understand how you can possibly fold an open-ended STRAIGHT FLUSH DRAW. I mean you got 3rd place guaranteed, and the gap between 2nd and 1st is so much greater than 3rd and 2nd. Plus the bracelet.

I would call if I had to put my house in the pot.

[patoschi280503]

jamie is so trash...what a hell!!!so sick...assssssssssssss

[IMakeBoringVideos]

on the contrary to what everybody has been saying...Jamie has played incredibly well not just having luck. and his mindfuck talking skillz

[Zakillah]

horrible fold by Wassika; you dont throw away an open end straight flush draw.

[bender2004]

I dont know how much the money motivated his decision, but any name pro would make that call in 2 seconds. Im sure if it wasnt the main event or if it were a cash game he's calling for sure.

[thechris104]

Although he finished 4th, Cunningham played very well this final table. His biggest misstep was folding to Dallas doucher Wasika's bluff.

[Josephysky]

from 5:35 jamie flashed his jack with 3 hidden. did he really get a penalty ?

[shiraq07]

i hope so, thats a dirty trick.

[nathanrenard]

Yes, he did.

[DBFriday]

No, he just earned/deserved one.

[DaDooM88]

omg i guess wasicka will never forget this laydown... wow, i really dont want to know how he felt when he saw the Q of spades

[Dan742617000027]

Wow. That 7 on the turn was crazy!

[godfather819]

this was actually my favorite WSOP to watch.

[moltisanti72]

what a luckbox

[fffcccf]

not to mention him donk pushing all in when binger is committed with any 10 and taking wasicka out of a hand where he can knock someone out...and to those of you calling out wasicka for not calling would you call on a draw after a raise and a insta push for 2 million dollars? if gold has a higher flush draw or trips youre calling from behind and risking losing an extra 2 mil if binger beats jamie and jamie beats you

[fffcccf]

lol obviously its easy to say you need skill to go through these fields, but sometimes luck and cards are enough...during this final table session they prob played 2,000 hands...and in those 2,000 hands we saw jamie gold hit the nuts vs top or trip like 4 or 5 times...even after 2,000 hands (tops) thats very hard to do...watch jamie play after this, losing over a million in cash, and not even coming close to a deep run again...jamie was lucky as hell, and is a decent poker player at most

[DZG]

no one is good then they dont catch cards

[Tehui1974]

Gold is no good when he doesn't catch cards.

[bagoubagou02]

it's so sick. how wasicka can fold this hand?

flush draw, straight draw, straight flush draw, by the up, the down... so sick

[marcko90000]

Part of the reason being is that his flush draw could be no good. Gold or binger could have Wasicka's flush outs covered.

[pyhEek]

Gold is da best!!!

[41htdex]

Do u flip a coin for a chance at 9 million. Fold for maybe 1 million assured. I think Wasicka should have called that bet. Any hand he makes is the nuts and he has a chance at the title. Trying to outplay Gold was an impossible task. Its alot of pressure; but ur already assured millions so pressure signifigantly wilts.

[Jaenne87]

jamie gold is the worst world champion in history

[41htdex]

He played well using his image aggression other players checked to him and let him hit his draw and he bet. brilliant run of luck skill and pychology.

[hello999991]

Jamie Gold is the best

[SewTheBeat]

no skill just ALOT luck

[Darkdemon911]

Some skill, and A LOT of luck.

[downgreyd33]

This is sickening. I would have hated to go up against this guy at the final table. He sucks out EVERY SINGLE time. Has to be the hottest streak of cards in history.

I wish they would have edited in some hands he actually lost, if there were any. Seems like the editing is done to make him look even more lucky than he was.

[oiltankrs]

"Has to be the hottest streak of cards in history"

Ever seen Gus Hansen playing?

[dallasj7]

Although Gold got ridiculously lucky catching cards, he actually didn't suck-out much once all the money went into the pot. He was just so lucky to get QQ vs. JJ twice (particularly against Richard Lee's big stack), and to win the race against Cunningham.

He did suck-out to knock out Binger, but only because Wasicka stupidly laid down his open-end straight flush draw. Binger's chips should've been Wasicka's.

[FireWorshipper]

Jamie Gold's luck (as talented as he REALLY is) makes me sick in this tourney...

[sienipata]

[Peebs2070]

jamie gold would lose at my home game

[asd9028]

i dont think he play .5/1

[fourthwind1]

gold is so annoying id tell him to f off...

[tavbf]

man i didnt know wasika let go that 7-8 spades. either way if he lost he was going to get second place money and recognition... he ends up second anyway but that pot would of made a difference.. maybe the same outcome but more hands were going to play out heads up if he went with a flush and straight draw there. wow but i guess he waned the big stack to knock off bunger and then play heads up.

[schumi26]

i hate gold. he is such a scumbag.

[bEddE]

that all in was sooo mean. but genius!

[THESHR0G]

It was terrible...

[biker2410]

[FragosoJorge]

jamie gold is a douche

[woohoolf]

cunningham is simply amazin....jamie is an incredible talker... n he jus got once too lucky in the final table...dayam...

[u2makepovertyhistory]

i don't mind gold i think people are way too hard on him. Sure he's no way the best player, but it takes a lot of luck for anyone to win the WSOP, even the best, so it wasn't like he was the only winner to luck out. And you can't get mad at a guy for getting lucky.

[omgshredderw00t]

its a disgrace a douche like jamie gold has a wsop bracelet.. jesus. he keeps saying how well he's playing but it's easy to appear good when he flops the nuts everytime

[littlenickyscarfo]

adreneline and 4 3 of spades ...that will never happen again for me jaimie
