World Series of Poker 2005. Sam Farha and Oliver Hudson both flop a full house. Sammy has the nuts. Oliver Hudson thinks he has the nuts. He goes out in his first hand, Sammy doubles up.
Aah the terror of No Limit Hold’em.

Hahahaha I so hate Humberto Brenes and I so love Scotty Nguyen. Scotty makes a perfect bluff on Humberto, and I’m absolutely lovin’ it baby!
Way to go Scotty, send the Shark home!

Daniel Negreanu gets a lot of respect in the poker world and that’s pretty much thanks to making laydowns like this one. Sammy Farha possibly got a little greedy on the river but hey — if you feel Daniel Negreanu has a straight you’re thinking he’ll pay you off right?

David Layani decides to play his Aces slowly against Phil Ivey. I repeat — this guy decides to PLAY HIS ACES SLOWLY against Phil Ivey. Dude, you’re up against, PHIL IVEY, why pick the riskiest approach to playing your hand?
I mean — if he just played the hand it was supposed to be played against […]

I can see people berating Phil Hellmuth’s play in this hand, but I’m quite sure he played it correctly. Not only is Bob Safai not the most solid player in the game, he also would have made the exact same play with any set or even two pair…
The “call” wasn’t what Phil wanted to hear […]

This is televised cash game poker from Sweden, Scandinavia. Some top players are on the table including Tobbe Persson, Ilari Sahamies, Patrick Antonius, Tony G. & Per Hildebrand. When Ilari hits bottom two pair on the flop (3/5) and both Per and Patrick hit top pair — we can see the aggressiveness of Patrick Antonius, […]
