FOLD FLUSH WITH KING HIGH!!! EXCELLENT FOLD !!!!!W.S.O. POKER 2008.

[jiamonx2]

I really don't think the fold is as amazing as the commentators put it, the board not only paired, but pros usually won't be the river like this without the nut flush, not even regs i play in the 180 man's bet with a king high flush here for value.

[MrJacked86]

i get in this spot alot online u have the nut flush on a 4 flush board, but it always pairs on the river,,,they raise i fold

[curuzu]

Stop saying bullshit... both play the hand exellent

[Ex0rz]

I think this is an epic play for a non pro... But a pro would really become suspicious when there is 4 hearts on the table and someone reraises your obvious flush. If you had to put all your chips in then it makes sense to fold... I dont know the background of the Ace high player but i bet he plays a lot of ace high hands.

[Mk927]

The craziest part is Demidov checks back the flop, then raises the turn? That looks so bluffy, how does schwartz fold that!

[whatageeza]

Such a sick fold, really nice play here.

[MultiMarc323]

Anyone ever been to the event? how much is the buy in?

[Brian211978]

Well they DO call it $10,000 No Limit Hold'em Championship!!  So.....

[magiconkas]

@MultiMarc323 The amount it costs for bros to take turns pounding ur mums cunt...$10 a pop ya dig

[TRexBAKARoSe]

If Sc with 8h 10h,straight flush vs. A high flush it would be sick.

[sk8rdaniel]

Chad had it right, u cant put him on full house because he would have bet flop with set or 2 pair... only hand he loses to is Ah... I honestly have no idea why he folded but congrats

[Jannem83]

Paired flop also. Good fold in long run.

[Jannem83]

@Jannem83 Mean paired board :)

[scotty2hotty240193]

easily fold, its not even the 2nd nuts when the board pairs on the river

[kawadamark]

@scotty2hotty240193 learn2preflop action.

[OwnageEngine]

@scotty2hotty240193 He never ever doesnt bet a set of a 3 flush flop and never ever ever raises a set on a 4 flush board.

[ryuxdragonx]

If Demidov had contemplated a little before calling the turn he might represent a smaller flush.

[jthrillsnskills]

demidov wouldnt have put that nice pretty and tall stack in unless he had the ace

[Jeeesse]

"I would call hours ago and make dinners reservations!". LOL.

[clarkharney138]

a set or two pair is never raising the turn. he isn't scared of a full house.

[Ser282]

awesome read....:D this is the reason that im not in las vegas...They are so much better than me

[bourdoulas1]

bet he was more afraid of a full than a higher flush,nice fold thought..

[Tycho84]

@bourdoulas1 No, probably not. 77, JJ, 75 and J5 would certainly have bet the flop with the three hearts out there, leaving only 95 and 99 as hands that would check the flop and fill up on the turn. But 95 is not within Demidovs preflop raising range (unless he decided to randomly raise some awful hand). Not to mention that Demidov raised the turn. He would not raise any set or 2pair there. So unless Demidov played the hand completely wrong on EVERY street. He doesn't have a boat there.

[Doublemac88]

Why are there only a few guys in poker championships when there are all these obvious poker geniuses on YouTube?

[alselfad]

schwartz was not worried about the flush, look carefully at 1:58 when schwartz saw the board paired , he suspected a full house giving the fact Demidov rasied preflop representing a hand , or ( A PAIR ) , the bet on the turn from schartwz and raised from demi then called by schartz was the begging of sign of schartwz not much trusting his hand. and on turn when board paird chwartz knew his hand is beaten .. ( thinking of a full house ) ...

who agrees ????

[Ace2w1n]

what if the guy had a straight flush lol

[mcksvnssn1]

@Ace2w1n xD

[chazsinohui]

He did not have the nut flush draw straight flush draw was present

[DGol03]

Board pair on the river saved him a lot of money.

[DeusPayne]

@DGol03 board pair on river had nothing to do with the hand, demidov raised on the turn. no way hes checking a set on the flop

[DGol03]

@DeusPayne I don't disagree that it's highly unlikely, but I believe it created extra doubt for Schwartz to help him fold the hand.

[slatz20]

1:10 is the Tell u need to know that he has the Ahs.

[Legenden81]

If i had a dollar for every pixel in this video i would have a dollar.

[VicenzoV]

@Legenden81 That is such a good one. You also do Chuck Norris jokes? 

[Legenden81]

@VicenzoV No, mostly about your mom.

[VicenzoV]

@Legenden81 That's unpossible, because I was aborted.

[Legenden81]

The word you're looking for is "impossible" :P

[VicenzoV]

@Legenden81 I did mean "impossible".

Also "adopted" .

[Legenden81]

@VicenzoV Are you some kind of special child? :D

[VicenzoV]

@Legenden81 If by special you mean "armed and extremely dangerous",

then yeah.

[Legenden81]

@VicenzoV HAHAHAHAAHAHAH what a tragedy you are... sorry.

[VicenzoV]

@Legenden81 Apology accepted.

[nikodimous]

this is clearly one of the best folds i've ever seen. some may fold this hand in a tournament,never on a cash game,and pretty rare on the final table of the tournament. but you cannot leave out the possibility of being afraid of the board pairing. if demidov had pocket jacks he propably would have played them that way,so...... but great fold anyway.

[alessaapathy]

just shows the value on accurately being able to put people on a range of hands... its being able to make folds like that, that seperates the champions from the merely good..

[TacoMaster07]

demidov doesnt have a full house in that spot, he wouldnt raise the turn with 4 hearts with a set he would only smooth call and try to hit a boat

[ronanocarroll]

Everytime I think about this hand, I wonder how Schwartz managed to cheat. Fantastic fold

[IMKINDASHY611]

I wouldve lost all my money!

[FL8FFan]

Read this only if you have lots of cash at pokerstars! I know that is is a kind of strange favor to asking for money but i guess you guys have been in the same situation and hope you can understand me better! Just a small donate would be enough. I really need some money i would be so pleased and thankfull to you. 1 dollar($) should be enough i guess... Thank you! POker name player: FL8Player

[JeeRaph]

The board pairing means almost nothing. If he didn't bet a set or 2 pair on that flop, he's an idiot.

[entw168]

if demidov had cbet the flop, schwartz wouldve called the river raise. by checking in position only mean 2 things, trapping or chasing.

[mitchellpeake1626]

The 5 on the river scared him off. Pocket 7, 9 or J or any combo of those with a 5 beat him as well as A of hearts, good fold tho.

[weefeatures]

@mitchellpeake1626 Demidov's never raising two pair or a set on a four flush board, so the 5 pairing means nothing

[nightmaredust911]

@mitchellpeake1626 5 meant nothing!

[size123]

@nightmaredust911 The 5 ment a full-house possibility

[nightmaredust911]

@size123 i know ive been playing poker for 10 years.... i meant demidov wouldnt have bet a set on the turn with 4 hearts out there, the 5 didnt affect his play.

[thisfuckinsucks1]

thats instinct my friends

[elrafalin297]

i call n river XD

[Flopsy62]

"If he puts him on the flush only the ace would beat him" 8h10h/6h8h no good.

[postflopper]

we can basically rule a set on the turn for demidov outta the picture. no way demidov would reraise on the turn with a set, he'll just flat to see what comes on the river, for certain. so basically it's a decision about whether he has the A of hearts or not. excellent fold under the circumstances, 80% of pros would make a crying call in this exact spot.

[benjspurs]

A high is actually the second nut flush because T8hh/86hh are the nuts.

[MackVirus888]

@herrmumin you're an idiot...

It's a pretty sick fold...most people would call and see if second nut flush were good...but he had the instinct to fold...

[HerrMumin]

@MackVirus888 Yeah, most people would have called. But as I said, it's a good fold but not an amazing fold. I mean, what can he beat exept a bluff?

Even i have folded king high flush and i'm a freakin micro-donk.

[HerrMumin]

This isnt really an amazing fold.. It's a pretty good one, but i dont understand how someone can say this is an amazing fold.

And i really dont understand why the commentators think he would checkreaise the river.

[Taffykill]

@HerrMumin Because he can't see the hole cards like you can. You're just like every other troll on poker videos that thinks they could do what the pros do but you know,... easily.

[HerrMumin]

@Taffykill Are you retarded? AS I SAID: This is a pretty good fold, but not an amazing fold.

He can only beat a bluff ffs? And yes, most people would hace called. And most people sucks.

If there is any hand Demodov would have raised on the turn and valuebet on the river that is worse than king high flush (except a bluff), please tell me what hand that is.

There are tons of folds better than this one here on youtube.

[Taffykill]

@HerrMumin First of, check your grammar before you call anyone retarded. Secondly, do you always fold king high flushes when you're reraised on the turn? If so, you're a nit. :) You wanted hands that could reraise on the turn? ANY HAND. People play like idiots. If you go around folding the second nuts you're going to be wrong most of the time. You wanted hands he could have on the turn? 6h8h, 8h10h, 55,77,JJ,99, and top pair Qh. The raise on the turn is a standard bet to see where you are.

[Taffykill]

@HerrMumin The pot was raised preflop, that raises the odds of people trying to take it down with nothing. If a lay down of a king high flush on a 12 million chip pot in the main event isn't amazing to you, then I have to ask... with all the millions you've obviously made with your exceptional talent, why waste your time here discussing poker on YouTube? Why aren't you on tv like the other pros? Or better yet, since you can tell what people are thinking, why aren't you out there saving lives?

[HerrMumin]

@Taffykill

I've never said i've made millions playing poker. You should stop discussing on youtube if you cant handle when someone doesnt have the same opinion like you.

Romanello folded jacks full, thats an amazing fold.

Annette Obrestad folded 4-4 on a J-4-J-7-Q board, thats an amazing fold.

[Taffykill]

@HerrMumin So what you're trying to say is that folding full houses is more impressive than folding king high flushes? Well, muther fuckin duh. The point I was trying to make is that, despite the fact that there are better folds out there, this one is still pretty bad ass. And it amazes me how many people on Youtube claim to be able to do that easily. But then I go play on Fulltilt and Pokerstars and everyone plays like donkeys. Weird, no?

[Tycho84]

@Taffykill The flop was raised preflop from HJ position which means Demidov probably has some kind of hand (KJ, KQ, any decent pocket pair and AK up to A8 or any suited ace). Demidov's check on the flop means he is NOT afraid of the flush coming, so he has to have air or a flusdraw. His bet on the turn means he probably has the flush, his reraise on the river means he has to have the A high flush. Ofcourse this is just theory. If I was schwartz I would've been sooooo tempted to call. Great fold!

[geroni2]

@Tycho84 Brilliant analysis, but he doesn't re-raise the river, it's a check-raise-fold. That's why it's an amazing (I'd say almost hero) fold.

[Tycho84]

@geroni2 Oh yeah. You're right :P. Still the bet on the river by Demidov means he most probably has the A-high flush, because if Demidov had the the Q-high flush (or lower) he would have been scared Schwartz would have had a better flush. He would probably check behind with showdown value. Still like I said in my previous comment. This is all theory, and actually folding the K-high flush their takes a lot of discipline and commitment. It's an amazing fold indeed!

[kutaplex]

I love when people talk about folding king high flush. Wonder why they are losing in real life if they are so good. Maybe it's because they can see their cards?

[gokawi]

re-raise on the turn was a bad play. demidov should just flat call it

[daimen6]

once demidov makes that stuipd face at 1:06 then ~minraises the turn it is obv he has the nuts. bet/calling turn is fine i guess. on the river it is an easy muck

[ikawpipa]

i will also fold... im the best poker player in the universe.

[atomisten]

since 4 heart is on board, K high flush is very weak compared to 3heart board so its quite an easy fold

[DRondeel]

Its not such a amazing fold, its just what sepperates proffesional players from the rest. But it does take guts to lay down the 2nd biggest possible hand. (excluding full houses, wich were very unlikely in this hand)

[MetalViking1992]

that re raise on the turn wasn't a good move for me, he had position over him he could just called him and raise on the river getting more of him

[sh1tabr1ck]

All these expert comments (not) after the event. Face it everyone , your all donkeys.

[moedanglez]

it is absurd to think he could check raise the river

[dealerG]

re-raise so Demidovs play on the turn suggests again that he has trips. Now unfortunatly for Demidov the board paired on the river which let Scwartz get away from his hand. He was most likely expecting Demidov to have improved to a fullhouse. He DIDN'T fold think that Demidov had the ace-high flush. If the board didn't pair then Schwartz will have flat called seeing as the straight flush IS there on the board. Demidov was probably cursing in his mind on the river that the 5 scared Scwartz away.

[dealerG]

Really is that such a difficult fold? Look at the number of hands that has Schwartz beat and the way the hand was playing and you'll see exactly why Scwartz folded. Demidov played the hand like he hit trips on the flop and raised with a pocket pair before the flop, like 7-7 or J-J. He would have checked because of the flush in fear of being check-raised. He would think Schwartz has either the nothing and he bluffed on the flush or he has a weak flush or straight which he would folded to a

[dodgerguy1981]

If the board doesn't pair, Schwartz at the very least calls. 100% guarantee it. 

[fred5644]

lol norman chad "maybe looking for a check raise", what a fucking donkey

[Jfly1215]

Your all idiots, its simple logic there was no way he would have reraised the turn with a set so the board pairing on the river didn't matter. He put him on a flush and the only way you would play a flush like that is with the kh or the ah. Since he had the king the the only logical answer is he has the nuts. Simple fold, long live biggie braaaattt!

[brenecki]

commentator is an idiot why would you check reraise the river?? The other dude isn't going to call that bet with anything but Kh or Ah and since he had the Kh Its pretty obv that unless the dude is retarded that play will never be profitable

[Flopsy62]

"If he puts him on the flush only the ace would beat him". stragiht flush obv would be no good.

[BenNCM]

the commentator is a dick

[Nuttingstube]

worst thing about poker videos on youtube is the knobs who think they can school pro's on strategy...

[Lettenbichler]

The board paired on the river otherwise he would have called

I love how every1 on youtube is an absolute poker pro and never loses a hand, always plays it perfect. It's a lot easier to say "fold you idiot!" when you can see the cards. Everyone who posts that it's obvious he has the ace of hearts is an idiot.

[1Arnak]

Demidov should bet 1 million.

[lhipsher]

1:09, lips. tell?

[johnsmith7490]

Man these rigged sites should be banned!!

[MrSkyun]

its the 5 on the river that made him fold... not that he put him on Ace high flush

[aznguy11111]

i wouldilve been fucked and went all in

[antifagate10]

unbelievable player!respect!

[johnsmith0133]

That's not really a standard fold, maybe in the early stages but at the final table of the main event he is supposed to go broke with that.

standard fold

@beeradz you are a fucking nit

[beeradz]

standard

[A1PHOENIX]

i have 20/20 hindsight.....good fold!

[sebaxoo]

good lay down, but  at long terms it will be a bad fold, because most of the time the villian has air.

[jmbd07]

@sebaxoo LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL shut up fkn moron

[ohyeah2034]

its a good laydown...russian was about to do a dance on the table....maybe not unbeleivable....just had to think it over

[jmbd07]

@ohyeah2034 Finally someone who talks GOOD strategy on youtube... well played sir

[qqleq2]

Considering the pot size and the bet size (I do not now his stack size, though), I cannot understand how anybody can say this is a standard fold or a "correct decision"?!? You get 4:1 on a call with 2nd nut flush, to me that is a standard CALL. A call would be bad only if you lose more than 3 out of 4 times... Not likely with K high flush and no realistic boat possibilties. Why fold, then? You'd only fold if you have a very clear read.

[jmbd07]

@qqleq2 perhaps HE DID HAVE A VERY VERY CLEAR READ. retard. There's a freeroll starting soon on pokerstars you might wanna register now.

[lookaguru]

Easy fold

[budweiser4]

He doesnt have the nuts with A high flush

T8 of hearts are the nuts :) but that would happen only online

[Laggsy1]

@husapi Pocket pair that hit a set u poker genius. god some ppl donmt understand this game.

[Husapi]

@Laggsy1 if u made your set, WITH 3 HEARTHS IN THE FLOP! why... why you would check postflop??

Giving your opponent a free card with an allmyghty set, ON AN ALL-HEARTH FLOP! makes sense to you?

You should learn to play poker before talking about stupid plays...

[drbdrbrobertdrbdrb]

nice fold, but the title of this video is retarded lol

[mCanoodles411]

let's call it the right laydown. now a good one, not a great one, just a correct decision.

[blamtasticful]

He had to fold yeah right! To many people think that because the board paired he had to fold. If he had a set he would have bet the flop. Demidov is good enough to bet there with nothing or value bet the Q or 10 of hearts against a jack. This was a good fold.

[jimbob1969]

He had to fold. There was only two cards A or Q that Demidov could have to bet the flush. He didn't put him on Q's so he deduced he had an Ace.

[jimbob1969]

He had to fold.

[dimgoku]

in this wosp, i think Demidov made the same fold against Peter Eastgate!!!

[Laggsy1]

board paired on the river. full house now possible. makes the fold easier.

[Husapi]

@Laggsy1 lol, how many loose aggressive players likes to play 5/x?

[MarktheSharkSheehan]

incredible fold that can only be made because the jack of hearts hit the board. WIth such strength, only a Qh and an Ah can be represented. Not an impossible fold, but a very good one that, under the situation, I probably wouldn`t have made. Probably had a good read on his opponent as well.

[XOGoldFingerOX]

i think he didnt know that he had a Flush xD, no , it was a great fold!!!

[WindBreaker77]

this is officially the fold of the millenium

[baremenos15]

Wow..

[calahoon22]

i feel sorry for demidov not winning the main event he was the best player at the final table overall

[Da1337DoOD]

Every set, an ace of hearts and 68hearts will beat him. I would have call it, but it's not that hard to fold it... That's where read comes into play :)

[tjpark0420]

I think Schwartz thought Demidov hit a fullhouse on the river..if he knew he was beat why would call the reraise? nonetheless great laydown

[Raadloser]

Demidov check raised waaay to abruptly in that last round. Fucking dumb cunt. Should have played smooth and won atleast another 2 million when he revealed his devestating Ace high flush. Stupid

[whydidipickthis]

@Raadloser i forgot, you played your nut flush way better at the WSOP. can't believe you didn't win it all

[GGRSC]

not that hard of a decision, try putting him on a range, check on flop, i would have thought he was slowplaying some monster flush or maybe ace high flush draw or just nothing, raise on turn indicate he either has the ace high flush or air, because he wouldn't be raising a Q high or lower flush, bet on river means hes continuing his bluff with air or with his ace high flush draw (can't put him on full house because there's no way he would check a set on 3 heart board or raise a set with 4 hearts

[LoLR0gerLoL]

@GGRSC and thats why you live on your moms basement throwing your analysis on youtube and he was at the wsop :)

[GGRSC]

@LoLR0gerLoL This coming from a spic lol. It must be hard sharing your room with 12 other people.

[unclepunkle]

@GGRSC racist prick

[GGRSC]

@unclepunkle implying you aren't prejudiced

[martysparty2042]

Pretty easy fold. WIth the paired board and 4 flush on the board, there is a lot that beats the King high flush

[UndercoverLdn]

@martysparty2042

In a 2-way pot? This certainly isn't such an "easy fold", we can see the hole cards and that makes it way easier than when you're onder pressure in such a big tournament.

[Vazoline]

@martysparty2042

Nice troll retard

[fagonator]

@martysparty2042 shut the fuck up you fucking donk. lay down the king high flush every time and your gonna be a losing player.

[XalaXification]

@martysparty2042

fk off man if u were there u prolly wudnt fold it ...TRUST ME!

[the3bigreddevils]

@XalaXification lol , donkey . Maybe if the board didnt pair it woulda been a better laydown but the guy was either betting the nut flush or a full house on the river. Most likely the nut flush cause their would be no reason to raise with a set on 4th street.

[XalaXification]

@the3bigreddevils

id like to c u there youtube smartass

[KaLiLoKz]

ITS SOOOOO OBVIOUS HE HAS THE ACE OF HEARTS!! THATS Y DEMIDOV DIDNT WIN THE WSOP!! HE HAS TERRIBLE TELLS!!!

[GOTSMOKEDv2]

@cantescape1987

lol what are you talking about.... Demidov had position , so if he checked the river the hand would be over HEE HAW. And if the board didn't pair on river and Demidov checked it he would be penalized for it. Were you not paying attention to position? He should have bet more like 2.5 to 3.5 mil, he might have got called. I would have bet 3 mil. I would make the 4.3mil chip bet to David Rheem tho

[cantescape1987]

@GOTSMOKEDv2

LOL I think i was stoned when i was typing that.

Anyways it would of made sense if he didn't right? :-p

[GOTSMOKEDv2]

@cantescape1987

it would..... it just depends on the player your playing against.
