Phil Ivey makes a sick call

[weatherallc05]

dont touch phil ivey.

[weatherallc05]

this is deep in wsop, give him some credit people.

[Chipexcess]

This is not even a sick call who's the idiot who made this video.

[dejeynes]

@Chipexcess You would have folded.

[wellisaythat]

lol who is that dude at the end talking to phil??

[augiux3]

He just risked for bisket.To call most his chips with middle pair is really sick. IT'S MINE OPINION

[DangerD205]

ATTENTION POKER PROS- STFU, it is EASY to "make these calls" you see on TV and Youtube when you can SEE BOTH PLAYERS CARDS...Get off your ass and computer and try a real poker game, see how long you last...

[danielsnyder1]

@DangerD205 too true too true. Online can not even compare to a real game in a casino.

[G0odf3lla]

Either Ivey is a genius, or he is a complete crazy bastard lol

I would never make a call like that hahah that guy is awesome

[blahblah5492]

Why would you try to bluff Phil Ivey? that's suicide

[MissKateUK2]

I swear, if there's ever a nuclear war, I think Phil Ivey would be so cool it wouldn't phase him.

[kakoivans]

good players must show why are the best, and ivey prove

[ajbbig14]

this is such an EASY fold. can't even fathom how he made that call, i wouldn't have had the guts. dude's incredible

[geniousboy510]

I can make that call with my eyes close.

[RockOOOT]

@geniousboy510 Well it all depends on the circumstances, I'm sure you could playing your $1/$2 home game with your buddies, but this not the same.

[Wisest90]

Mads Andersen is praying for a 6, 10, or 8. Do you see him with his hands together in prayer? Or either he's signaling it's "lights out for me". :)

[thefloyd10]

WELCOME TO IVEY'S WORLD!

[ninjajesus81]

Is Phil Ivey the best poker player in the world?

[Banned4Life]

@ninjajesus81 Quite possibly. One of the most consistent players, certainly.

[WildMike1234]

Poker is just one of those games where everyone thinks they know best.

[barrysbody]

This is not a "sick" call. The guy raising all in had 15bb left. It's probable that he missed the flop entirely. Really the sickness of it depends on how deep Ivey was. If he was sufficiently deep the call is a no brainer.

[ZNT746]

@barrysbody You hear Norman Chad say Ivey will be "decimated" if he loses....I think they were both pretty short stacked and must have invested a decent percentage of their stacks before this action came.  I don't think this is a "sick" call but it's a good play, he had to be extremely confident in his read.

[widebody123]

what a pathetic chidish game. learn the math probabilities, put on some dark glasses and sit all night with some equally pathetic losers and hope you get lucky.

[ZNT746]

@widebody123 lol you obviously know nothing about the complexity of no limit holdem. I'd love you at my home game.

[canadianpoker83]

I wouldn't call it a sick call. A good call yes. Dude only shoved 15bbs. Not saying i could make the call but i don't think it was sick in any way even despite the buyin of the tournament.

[perplexed76]

@canadianpoker83

as i got it "this is for most of ivey's chips" or somthing

[canadianpoker83]

@perplexed76 Yep it was and that's why it was a 'great call". A sick call would have been if Ivey called with like 55 on that board and the other guy had nothing. It's calls like this that makes Ivey the best in the world.

[killjoychris1]

I don't think other players should ever be allowed to touch phil ivey lol CLASSIC.

[rennsalami]

does nayone know how many blinds he had left?

[danoid123]

If the guy had a queen the youtube pros would be saying "wow what a bad call it's obvious he had a queen". It amuses me to read the comments on poker videos.

[nick0mac]

I'm sick of hearing how geat Phil Ivey is, he borrowed and hasn't paid back millions of Full tilt poker money which now is shut down with mine and many more of our money locked in their hands. Then to top it all off Ivey was trying to Sue Full tilt and pull them under meaning no one gets their money back from the site. Any word on the money yet that our full tilt accounts had in em before they shut them down?

[RayWilliamJohnstud]

@nick0mac Phil Ivey wasnt an owner and didnt have control over how they ran there business. He was only sponsored by them. I think Full Tilt is close to being sold and you will get your money back eventually.

[nick0mac]

@RayWilliamJohnstud right, but Ivey had endless credit with them and lost millions of depositing players money, if he is so smart he must of knew the money wasn't coming from thin air when he was taking it from full tilt and representing them in the fashion he did he basically was one of them. I know I played FT poker for years and i'm sure if i called them and said lend me a thousand they'd think i was nuts and it would never happen so Ivey must of been with "the business" somehow

[weatherallc05]

@HigherPoker he does personify coolness, and what i admire is his courage. you shouldnt be scared by massive bets or all ins, especially if the odds are in ur favour.

[weatherallc05]

guys, seriously all ivey is showing is that if you play poker with a bit of balls and bravery you will win more. the fact is it was an easy call because he had good odds in his favour. just grow a fucking pair next time ya play poker man

[sneak108]

amazing call....

He has a pair, of course he calls. Anyone who folds a pair is a bad player.

[Tomluvsmusic1]

congratualations, 242nd place!

[Blueburst89]

Look how worried that fucking moron is. What a fucking tool. Go back to your day job u fucking idiot

[pwnswoggle]

@Blueburst89 mads anderson is a pro poker player with over a million in winnings you fucking moron.... go back to your day job you broke motherfucker..

[Sk8erDon]

@Blueburst89 

[SuperBaconFTW]

All of you Youtube-Pros just shut the f.. up.

You know nothing about their History,Images,Tableflow,struc­ture......

You simply can´t analize a Hand right if you don´t know nothing about the background.

Just stfu, you make yourself look stupid.

[ihatekings1987]

anyone think phil ivey and ashley young are twins separated at birth?

[Wkng881]

Sorry but this is a good call, NOT a sick call. But yea Ivey rocks anyway!

[HopyHop1]

This is not that big of a deal. Players with fewer than 15 big blinds bluff quite a bit in this position. This is a good call, but I came to this clip after seeing J.C. Tran's call with over 1,000,000 in the pot and 4 cards to a flush, which niether player had.

[VicenzoV]

@gazz12345a We're not dealing with Roman armies here but with modern dumbed down poker, so I think Norman Chad using that word is pretty cool.

[EazyDuzItAgain]

@gazz12345a lol, this is one of the best trolls ever, one that must have taken you quite a bit of time too, you know, googling all the fancy words and such.

[lilcrazyaznboy]

"I don't think any other players should be allow to touch Phil Ivey." I once touch phil ivey thumb, and he was like yep that's my dick.

[itstonymacaroni]

Not really that tough of a call, especially for 15bbs.

[alexandregareau]

sick call? lol learn to play

[thisfuckinsucks1]

how is that a siick call wtf is wrong with you amateurs middle pair top kciker. shiit you dont need the nuts to call everytime. u fuckin amateurs.

[1313Drewski1313]

@thisfuckinsucks1 Well it's a hard call to make cause it's tournament play and you're pretty much risking all your stack with a decent hand, which I really wouldn't want to be doing.

[cdubmeyer]

@thisfuckinsucks1 yea, true, it wasn't a sick call, more like just a good call but these stupid ass youtube uploaders want to get a bunch of attention to their videos by naming it shit that ain't true, or it's because they are just a retarded amateur

[sneak108]

@thisfuckinsucks1 the reason its an amzing call dude is because this isnt a 10$ sit n go online. Its deep in the wrld championship. and i can give you about twenty hands that are beating phil....

[thisfuckinsucks1]

@sneak108 wat any q? 66 77 lol come on bro actually it was pretty deep in the tournament so in between good and great but sick not really i think we see poker differently u and i. when u c 3366 wat do u c?? full house right? i c my ace high wins.

[komot]

@sneak108 but 10k is nothing to him. if he was an amateur and made this call i would be impressed.

[Tavkastaja]

@sneak108 give me twenty hands that beats phils hand

[ParisHilton1982]

@thisfuckinsucks1

yeah i see guys like you, they are the first ones who get broke in our 25 bucks local tourney

[FreeGamble25]

@thisfuckinsucks1 I love all these ppl on youtube who think they r greatest it's easy to say it was an easy call when u see the whole cards. Its the biggest, most famous poker tourney in the world and the guy goes all in he could have Queens or a pair pre flop like A K J 10 9 8 so to say its not good call your the real amatuer thumbs up if you AGREEEEEEEEE

[weatherallc05]

@thisfuckinsucks1 lad, i absolutely agree with ya. its just fucking fools thinking it was sick cos he knocked some1 out. the fact is, ivey was almost obliged to call because mathematically it was there for the taking! so well said me lad

[Minkki82]

@thisfuckinsucks1 it's funny that EVERY SINGLE VIDEO were someone is said to have made a sick call, some "pro" here says that it was an easy call.

[ruarihennessy1]

@thisfuckinsucks1 are you a pro mate??

[Peanoob]

@thisfuckinsucks1 I bet you lose a lot o' money clown...

[DanSaw120285]

@thisfuckinsucks1

Right but you better have a good read on your opponent when calling with middle pair. 

[thisfuckinsucks1]

@DanSaw120285 it looks like he did

[DanSaw120285]

@thisfuckinsucks1

You don't say? 

[SL4VE0WNER1904619]

@thisfuckinsucks1 you don't need the nuts to call every time? if your playing hundred dollar games you don't.

[DJAx3L2]

@thisfuckinsucks1 retard

[A3kiro]

@thisfuckinsucks1 Was a very tough call ! It is a big difference between GO all in and CALL all in. You can GO all in with any rags, but to CALL you have to sense your hand is better or will become.Here there were 30 hands better than Ivey, constantly playing hands, that`s why this WAS a sick call. After your "tone" I realize you are least one pro and you're at least as good as Ivey, perhaps better... You dream like this, I know you are Phil Helmuth.

[blockhart]

the black guy looks like tiger woods

[throughhyperspace1]

They other dude going all-in first on the flop made him look weak because it was such a big overbet (trying to chase Ivey out). The guy probably didn't have a pocket pair of 8's through J's, or a queen, or an even stronger hand. Seven with an ace kicker looks pretty good under those circumstances.

[OceanSkate401]

it was a bad push.

[ckyownz9]

thats not a good call he got luckey

[wetalknaboutpractice]

@ckyownz9

You're an idiot

[ckyownz9]

@wetalknaboutpractice no youre an idoit going all in with 7s is about the stupidest thing u can do

[therightstuff90731]

Wow this is why some people say Phil Ivey is the best in the world! Nice call Phil Ivey wow.

[LTinvasion]

BakhBiz RIP

Chuck Norris was right behind him after he hit enter.

BakhBiz RIP

[scottiec75]

Phil thought he was behind. Look at his eyes after the guy turns his cards up

[JenniferJames77123]

@HigherPoker lol

[asdfglglgl]

srsly LOOK at this guy, a donkey could read that hes weak.

[mikeaprice09]

@asdfglglgl so its easy to call in the wsop main event with middle pair for almost all of your chips? yea okay then, teach me sometime.

[StonewallJackson26]

Good player. Good call. I don't know about a sick call. I've seen much better. Phil had middle pair top kicker.

[Barathor1992]

not really...

[ekosquad]

sic caw

[dothequack]

fighter59135 should play me heads up if thats an easy call

[fighter59135]

a sick call?? why?

[2lasiiJAkuppi]

@fighter59135 Daa.. its not the nuts! HE DIDN'T HAVE THE NUTS!! 0_O

[wesleyhoulihan]

Chuck Norris would've snap called that and had time to stroke his beard!

[LisaJJMerry]

@wesleyhoulihan puhleeze stop with the chuck norris jokes, they were awful 5 years ago

[tabber87]

Stephen Hawking is the Phil Ivey of theoretical physics.

[razelnutsofficial]

such a tough call

[McDjabba]

@BakhBiz dont you know obama is their son?

[SHiF7Gaming]

@BakhBiz HAHAHA! OH YEAH!

[padobah]

@BakhBiz With its mind.

[AceRagger]

@BakhBiz you do realise she wouldn't have both their baby's?. Only one of them. And no, what shed have is a niglet!!.

[KnalwousX]

@BakhBiz Impossible!

[yellow6100]

@BakhBiz i can kill chuck norris who gives a shit,who cant

[MrVende2ta]

@BakhBiz Impossible, Chuk Norris is immortal

[Sillett77]

@BakhBiz dont be silly the only way that would happen is if chuck norris was the "babe" lol

[scarletinne]

@BakhBiz no.

[dakachronic]

@BakhBiz what? a woman can only give birth to 1 mans child, you cant just let 2 dudes fuck her n hope her baby is a mix of them all

[neoplej]

Phil Ivey isnt womanizer. He is more than Tiger Woods!

[vokalakoss]

lol

[TheMuzzylover]

phil ivey is the phil ivey of poker

[lg123xyz]

...Anderson, put your tail between your legs, turn around, and just.... walk away. lol

[joecool759]

@coldhearted hahahahaha

[Izaak247]

Didn't exactly see the whole hand...

[frochi]

Oh, and having the most bracelets sure as hell is not a measurement on who is the best poker player in the world. It gives you an indication on who is good at live tournaments

[TheBarbahaba]

@frochi more like indication of lucky good in tournament and experienced +played longer than 15 years

[frochi]

Being the best poker player does not mean being the best tournament poker player. It means that you are the best, period. Phil Hellmuth might be a good tournament player, is he the best - far from it.. is he the best poker player - not at all.. To see who is the best, you need to weigh in more factors. I'd say that Ivey still is the best in the world

[DoctorGaga87]

@frochi How can you say Phil is from far from being the best? The man has 11 WSOP bracelts...

[frochi]

@DoctorGaga87 - I'm boldly standing by that statement as the amount of bracelets doesn't decide who's the best in the world. It's just stating which poker players has the most success in the WSOP tournaments. Hellmuth sucks in cash games and is completely outclassed by Ivey - overall Hellmuth is outclassed by Phil if they play a round of each also (HORSE). Phil Hellmuth is an excellent live tournament player, but not the best poker player in the world. Lol bracelets.. :p

[Reach1335]

The best poker player was Chip Reese. Idk who's the best living atm though.

[ColdHearted]

tiger woods is the phil ivey of golf

[sunmutsison]

@ColdHearted why cant he be the Wayne Gretzky of poker RACIST!!! Trolololol but i have a point

[jellycar101]

@ColdHearted lol way to copy my comment

[roeKY]

@jellycar101 u mad?

[jellycar101]

@roeKY ooh creative answer man, did u make that up?

[roeKY]

@jellycar101 haha u mad

[aro327]

@ColdHearted they both bang pornstars?

[Zer0nite]

@ColdHearted Seriously. I just think of Tiger Woods whenever I look at Phil Ivey.

[rtahouri1]

@ColdHearted dont u mean phil ivey is the tiger woods of poker

[K1ngstonW]

@ColdHearted  wtf are you saying?

[yellow6100]

@ColdHearted fuck tiger woods

[JDLupus]

@ColdHearted You, good sir or ma'am, deserve cookies.

[alexnzxVersion2]

terrible call by ivey, when your man showed the six ivey looked at it and looked surprised as if he thought he was beat

[rommi27]

@alexnzxVersion2 yeah win 10 million or more with poker too, and might get attention

[alexnzxVersion2]

@rommi27 easy to win 10 million at poker when you have money to play with in the first place. he never wins the main event at hold em

[buddabhudda]

@alexnzxVersion2 u dont know what u are talking about u obviously dont know iveys story...and he may not have main event bracelet but he has EIGHT bracelets in other games and is arguably the best poker player in the world

[alexnzxVersion2]

@buddabhudda I know Ivey has 8 bracelets, none of which are for Hold Em. I do not like when people watch Hold Em and say Ivey is the best player in the world. Because most people dont even know he won his bracelets for H.O.R.S.E and Omaha etc. The best Hold Em players are Brunson, Hellmuth and Chan, not Ivey

[rommi27]

@alexnzxVersion2 brunson chan, haha... they won their bracelets mainly 10-40 years ago, with less than 100 players do beat. not more. they are not even close to iveys level. neither tournament nor cashgame, neither holdem nor any other poker variant. maybe he is not the best tournament holdem player but calling brusons and chan is just ridiculous

[hillsonger]

@alexnzxVersion2 hellmuth is good, but instead of sticking to the facts you must look deeper. he feels entitled to win every pot he's on, not every hand he's dealt, but the ones he plays. that air he brings about him along with the berating he does is not cool. his bracelets don't give him the arrogance needed to be just in acting like that. so shut the fuck up and never fucking mention hellmuth as a GOAT. fuck you and suck a pimple covered dick.

[thatguywithnothing]

i agree norm

[Djbiggie24]

Mads Anderson is actually a pretty good solid player. So it was a very good call by Ivey.

[gk10002000]

He wasn't able to deduce that the other guy didn't have a queen.  He concluded that he didn't have a queen. That is not the same as following a concrete chain of evidence.

[crcrulez]

easy call

[nobrusds1]

was not a sick call at all

[cdubmeyer]

it wasnt a sick call, the term "sick" son is when you would know read your opponent so well and call with a botom pair like that and know you had him. Again, this not a sick call sonny boy
