“Jack 10… i knew he started with nothing” - Phil Hellmuth with 9 7 off 😂

Phil: goes all in with 3/2 off suit.
Loses pot

Phil: honey, he went all in with pocket kings!!

"I knew he started with nothing" - Phil Hellmuth holding 9, 7 off against J, 10 suited.

Dwan had the better hand on every single street.

Dwan's reputation for playing an insane range can bring out the insanity in others...

These clips are timeless and give me 2000's poker nostalgia. I'll be watching them on my deathbed.

Tom was bluffing his ass off all night and waited for the perfect moment. Tilt is Hellmuths Kryptonite.

I’ve always appreciated Laaks respect for other players. All poker pros at the time needled Phil constantly. As soon as Phil apologized for taking so long Lakk quickly said “Take up to 4 days”.

“Dwan owns hellmuth's soul for $200k. Phil speechless.” was the title of the YouTube video of this segment many years ago. That title fit better. Lol.

Joke's on Dwan when he spends it all on eye drops

I watched this live in the good old days of poker. Old school Dwan is the best TV poker

A whole clip of Hellmuth pondering a move, that players he would belittle ... would correctly just throw away. Brilliant.

All Helmuth was worried about was how he would be viewed."I am gonna look like a genius if i am right i am going to look like an idiot if i am wrong" instead of thinking about the hand he was more worried about his ego. Don't they say leave your ego at the door when you leave your house.

What if I told you that you could have folded pre-flop?! - Morpheus

I liked at the end how Eli brings Doyle a small bowl of fruit or something at the very end like a younger family member bringing the older one as a sign of respect “here don’t get up”

“I’m gonna look like an idiot if I’m wrong I’m gonna look like a genius if I’m right” 😂

You said it Phill!

[patrickclay]

Phil shouldn’t have been in the hand in the first place 🤦🏼‍♂️

[TheMindGrind]

The Poker Brat: "Sorry I'm taking so long guys..."
The Unibomber: "Take up to 4 days..."
Dolly: "This time..."
The Great Dane: "The beginning of day 3, I will have left the building..."

Fucking classic!

[ZToxLives]

7:54 Hellmuth: I'm sorry I'm taking so long guys
Laak (without missing a beat): Take up to 4 days.

I like how Phil gets salty about how someone played their hand but calls pre flop with a hand that shouldn’t even be in the hand

These Poker After Dark's, and High Stakes Poker's are so classic now.
The new ones just don't hit the same. The show runners need to replicate this exact same Poker After Dark set
and the exact same set they used for High Stakes Poker, down to a "T"
to give it that same ambience
