from the middle to make your best hand CH Up and Deal poker The winner of this event will take home over $1.1 million.

Here we go. The action will fall to two-time World Poker Tour champion, Gus Hansen. Well, he will play almost anything from the beginning. of the door has taken a real hand a pair of fives and is simply going to call it limp as we say in poker terminology now a maseri 24,000 with the queen n is going to call it Dewey folds with an 85 of the suit now we go back to Tino when you look at a good man with a very strong hand, Ace, jacket,

diamond

s, okay, and he's raised, he's going to do it. Vin 75, $75,000 raise here in hand, one from Tino, now this is awesome CU, you're doing well. on a Gus Hansen with a legitimate pair of fives, what is Gus going to do here?

He's been nicknamed poker because he can play any hand at any time with anyone, but he has tremendous instincts for the game as good as anyone in the business and he pays 75,000 now there's so much money out there Abe is going to pay too Work first hand here in bagio and all the backgam and champions in this PO and here comes the Flop we are already betting ace8 du a bingo fortino here he has the best pair in the maximum flush draw which is beautiful and look, he passes to Vince, he is going to try to put a trap, play slow, right at Gus, let's see what Gus does right, he knows these guys are aggressive players, he's throwing them some rope as we say.

See if Gus bites here with his pair of fives oh, he's going to pass 300 and look at Abe 300,000, New York is going to bite with a Cold Stone Bluff, all in. Tino doesn't waste time and goes all out for more than 700,000. He put all his chips in there, he has top pair and top flush, he drew a monster hand, that's FS, we're here to bet, Abe, I know, I know, we're not going to waste our time, baby, check this out, Hey, here we go. I'm here to bet, baby, now Gus has folded, he's got his, of course, falls from him and the man from Melbourne, Australia, with the pair of aces will take home a good-sized pot.

I just want the boys to finish well and early, with a well-played hand by Tino. there, he checked, he raised on the flop and he didn't make it. Tino takes the first P um Tino lickage from Melbourne, Australia and playing these

tour

naments is a lot of fun for me, it takes me back to my younger days, just to come back and I was able to be with the boys again and it's a real buzz . Now it's also a fantastic return for the player. Well, he's doing pretty well at poker. Today here we go again. This time the action will fall to Paul Phillips, who.

I've seen him before on the World Poker Tour, this time he's 98, he's not going to play. Mel shoots a 76 on the way out, quickly folds and we are in the battle of the blinds. Latino got another Ace and simply called. doesn't raise with the ace against Gus and the trash man Gus Hansen has a 5-3 and quickly checks it here comes a flop $66,000 or Ace 53 oh that's tremendous Tino flopped a pair of aces but Gus has two pair and they both check in the slow play by both here is Fourth Street in the turn they are both trying to catch each other here it seems to me that Vince finally Tino comes out to play, he doesn't know what he is playing with a man with two pair.

Tino bets 40,000 don't you realize how Gus plays with those chips guys if you see a guy at your table can do that that means he's been a few hours check this out he'll just call him he's trying to set Tino up The last card, the King of Hearts, that's kind of a scary card because now it's possible to get a flush. Check that Tino has quickly verified that he smells bad, maybe Gus bet 880,000 great. Tina is going to pay quickly. She's not going to like this, of course. Tino says he pays two. Gus Hansen is going to pay. win this pot with two pairs of fives and threes and that's going to hurt a little.

I'll tell you what, though Tino saved a lot of money by not playing aggressively. That's a good point. Vin had any of these players bet on the flop. this pot could have been a lot bigger than it was, you have to admire Tino's conservatism in checking on the river there and then just calling his bet so that he loses the least he could have lost in that pot F, that's true, but correct. Now there will be in The Kid From Brooklyn a Moseri who looks at his cards and this time he has a pair of real pocket fives and he is going to play with them, he is only going to call.

Shall we go out with 93? Now Tino chooses. has a high ace, but it's what we call a weak ace, it's ace6 offsuit, you know, Mike, there's nothing more exciting than watching these guys' cards absolutely vin with the WPT cameras, people at home can even Follow the game and guess who these players are. what he is going to do next is fantastic television Tino is not going to call the game Gus with a 74 he is not going to play this time to Paul Phillips now that he is in the small blind remember that he has 12,000 in the OP it cost him 12,000 more pay.

He does. he doesn't raise with ace 9 of spades he has a strong hand, I'm surprised he just called it Mel doesn't raise with ace 10 from the big blind so here we go three way action flop comes up ace four Deuce both hit Aces , yes they did and look at Paul Phillips right now with Aces, what is he going to do with this? He is passing the two Aces and quickly passes behind him. Paul passes and then Here comes Abe shooting with an inside straight shot the two fives good. They got The Kid From Brooklyn to bet, but right now he sure has the worst hand and both opponents have two aces.

Paul just happened to pay for this. Now, what is Mel going to do here? R and Mel will put himself above both of them and Here comes the sandbag, a good move by Mel to remove them both. Here he has the best hand. I can't believe he called quickly with just a pair of fives and a miracle inside the straight jaw and now it's Paul's turn, well, Vince, I got it. To tell you that this may be Abe's first power tournament, but he's not afraid to play, he quickly called that $100,000 raise, you're right, he's splashing around and Paul Phillips is wondering what's going on here.

I have two aces, one guy bet the other guy raised here. I have never made a move in this pot and I am the one who has the two Aces. We now know that Paul's second card, his kicker card, is not as big as Mel's. It's a dangerous place not to go. To call it, what a nice Paul Phillips bet right there to escape this hand, never make a bet on this hand and then leave it before you get to Fourth Street, well here comes Fourth Street, oh, all three, oh, that It's tremendous for Abe, he got it right on the inside stretch, now look at Ab's expression on his face, trying to be calm and collected like that didn't help him and he has Mel Judith betting straight on him, bets 120,000.

Vince, he has his victim betting directly on him. Well, it's hard for Mel to put it at a five and one guy called a $100,000 raise. Remember that he called a bet before the flop. What might he have to call a $100,000 raise with if one of his cards was a five? Look at Abe's acting job, the kid from Brooklyn, he's taking his time here pretending that he has a problem, we know he's absolutely happy. The days are here again right now 350,000 there you go 350,000, it's gone up to 230,000 and look at Mel shooting him a look and no Don't tell me you called this with a five in your hand I just can't believe it, let me down baby Abe talking trash now oh man and poor Mel is now faced with an incredibly difficult decision here oh this is good, he's weakly nervous cheeky.

Cockiness by The Kid From Brooklyn I can tell you a few things about Mel Judah. ​​We just saw him win recently at the bike club's Legends of Poker. He started with one of the short stacks and is one of the best short stack players in the world. and what he's thinking is what did this guy have, how can he be going up now. He surely couldn't have a five in the hole unless he had the five of clubs with a possible flush shot on the flop. This would be amazing if he could. stay away from this hand 6000, we know he has a pair of aces, but we know the kid has a blocked straight at this point and Mel would be dead if he continues.

I'm surprised AB keeps looking at him like that. Normally he pushes you, you don't get that kind of intense look. I mean, only a New Yorker could do this kind of look. He's saying, please, call me, please, otherwise I'll go back to flipping pizzas in Brooklyn. What decision does Mel face? Here he will call him Mike, you are right Vin, he has called 230,000 more. Mel has read it wrong. Here he is completely dead. Now, if he came up a five, he wouldn't draw a draw from this hand, but he remembers that there are only two left. so gloating may have been worth it for Abe reverse psychology the last card that came up in the river who's the seven of clubs that's a card Abe isn't going to like either because now he's wondering if Mel had a flush draw that that's right look at AB look at Mel now especially since Mel didn't play hard at first, everything about him is Fearless The Kid From Brooklyn, he's going all out Dy bat, he doesn't care about that club going out there, it's do or die time for The Kid From Brooklyn and he's going to take Mel out, he's leaving him now, but Mel should have left him on the street 4th Street amazing result born here in Brooklyn, New York, lives there in New York, is a stock trader, only 30 years old AB moseri, my name is AB moseri I am from New York and I am a game player.

I'm not afraid to put all my chips in there to bluff. I'm not afraid of that and I know that one advantage I have in my favor is that no one knows who. I'm so they can't read me, they're trying to read me, they can't read me anymore, taking control of this championship,There's more amazing poker action to come, stay tuned, we'll be right back from balagio at Five Diamond World. Poker Classic on the World Poker Tour Hello, Mr. Cunningham Alan, there's a big pot out there, buddy, I'm all in, don't be afraid. Hello, only a donkey would make that call.

We play at full tilt poker.com. Welcome back to the World Poker Tour from the high stakes poker of the heart Bel, well Vance, you know him by now, although Abe is kind of a rookie in his first tournament here, he's not afraid to bet with these guys, well, He looks very relaxed and happy, that's something you have to admire about him now, Mike. Before we get too far into the game, it's time to review the rules we poker players live by here at the World Poker Tour and here's the Honorable Oscar Goodman, Mayor of Las Vegas, to fill us in on the game known as Cadillac.

Poker Hello, I'm Oscar Goodman, the mayor of Las Vegas and the name of the game is no limit. Hold it to start. Each player is dealt two cards face down and then five community cards are placed face up on the table. Each player combines theirs. two cards face down with the community cards to make your best five card poker hand, okay, and betting is what this game is really about. Let's review, you get your first two cards, you make a bet and then the dealer puts down the first three community cards. the table now in poker this is called The Flop, you bet again, then the dealer puts the fourth community card on the table, it is also called the turn card, now the betting round continues and then the last one appears on the table letter called River letter. there is a final round of betting, you hand over your cards, see who wins and here we go again, more action, we have six players in the bagio at the moment, it will be on the Australian Tino Leic, he is going to shoot a 54.

Gus looks down . and a jack eight and he folds, now it's his turn to Paul Phillips, who has an uneventful 98. He's going up ADV Vance. I'm playing, but right behind him, Mel Jud is going all-in with an A6 suited to everyone else. He retired, it's Paul's again, now remember that a few weeks ago these two went head to head for the title at Legends of Poker at The Bicycle Casino. Mel came out victorious and beat Paul that day, so he will try to play Paul again here, he has moved all in for his last 211,000 now Paul only has a nine and an eight he is thinking what me I put I have to match that, match, I have to match it now, he's a mathematician, he knows he's getting more than two to one on his money, in fact he's only around $150 as an underdog, so mathematically it was the right call for him.

Paul did that, that's right, he's supposed to do it at that time, well, Mel is still the favorite to win this pot that he made. very good against Paul Phillips in the past beating him in the Legends tournament will continue here in bagio here we go with the flop the flop comes 734 so far no help for Paul Mel has the best hand with ace high love to double here comes The queen of Fourth Street appears on the turn, which means Paul has to catch an eight or a nine or Mel Judah will double the last cut that comes, it is not and it is a 10.

Mel Judah has doubled how much that is and again Mel has the number of Paul Phillips. he is the true nemesis of him Mel Judah just won't go away. I mean, Paul could afford to make that call with the 98 and he chose to bet there. He was going to try to get Mel out of here by paying a little for what he did to her. him at The Bicycle Casino earlier this season my name is Paul Phillips I live in Las Vegas Nevada right now I really only play poker. Poker gives you many opportunities to make a mistake that will end your tournament if you don't constantly try to avoid it. that mistake, uh, you're just not going to win as much as you should remember the last time he was runner-up in a World Poker Tour event, he's going after victory at all costs, all he wants is to win this title over a million dollars per the first place, the pride and prestige of being a World Poker Tour champion.

Let's get back to the action. GNA be with Paul and this time he has a great hand. Ace takes off his stick and discuses that he doesn't lift with it. I leave with 43 AE and I am not going to pay. Dey puts a 94 on Tino, who is the small blind, he already has money in the pot. She has an offset of 96 and is going to call. Gus with a 10 and five of clubs tells him to hit it. us a three way action on the flop and Gus checks from here we go flop is King King 10 let's ask Gus Hans and tens and Kings heo check he knows check Here comes Gus betting 50,000 50 Paul Phillips has the ace Jack has a miracle inside straight draw well, he only has ace high, what he's thinking is that Gus is bluffing again, in fact, Gus has two tens here, look what he's doing here, he's getting chips here.

Vince, yeah, it looks like he's going to beat the flurry here with just a side ladder draw and he's doing it, he's raising to 0.000 more, he's going to try to push these guys around Tino with absolutely nothing, 15,000 is going to get out of the way, now they're another 100,000 for Gus, now we know that Gus has two pairs. he has the 10 with the kings he is facing Paul right now let's see how he plays this is only going to call him if he calls it with the two1 Here comes Fourth Street A very interesting pot happening here the next card is an ace, so a comes out an ace, that's big for Paul, yes it is, now he gives Paul aces and kings and Gus quickly checks Paul, well what's he thinking, even though Gus just called a $100,000 raise, does he have A king, possibly had a queen, Jack in his hand? hand where now he would have an AI, sure about that, but look at these, you know they look more and more alike, they're actually riffing at the same time, they're like Heckle and Jackal on a branch, yeah, he does Paul's controls. yes, he does, the last card, the last card brings the three of

diamond

s tray, so this makes a flush possible, as well as a possible straight and a possible three kings.

There is a full house. Gus is slower, he's passing, well. didn't find it on Four Street and this is a little scarier now than even then, you have to think this might slow down the pole a bit, the flush possibility was Gus splashing around with a potential flush mind game from two big poker pros on going. here, Paul bets 120, he has to bet 120 Grand on Gus, what bet here, for Paul, bet 120,000 Relentless and look Gus is looking at the stars, there practically all he can beat here is a Stone Bluff, if Paul he uploaded it. a draw, Vin made it, or he made a pair of aces, an AI straight or a flush, so that's what's going through Gus' mind.

We've seen Gus Hansen go crazy against an unpredictable poker player, that's the other option if he came out on top right now. that would make Paul Philip scrutinize his SE. I'll tell you, look at them, it's like The Patty Duke Show in reverse. identical cousins ​​there he lays him down he makes him lay down well there he does he walks away from it don't give it to Paul Phillips credits Vance, he told us before the tournament started tonight that he's happy to be sitting right behind Gus Hansen if you are going to play a pot with him he will beat him, he did it there, great strategy worked on Paul's part.

Phillips on that hand, I'll let you get away with it. We'll be right back with more from Bagio in a moment. I think the most important thing is to not think that you are too good. Oh, I can't believe it. hit the table all good players go through bad streaks and you're only as good as your last tournament welcome back to the World Poker Tour at the Five Diamond World Poker Classic so far limitless rookie Aid Moseri shows no fear 350,000 defending against a table Seasoned pros Paul Phillips may be fighting an old war with his cycling rival, but he shows he is in a position to take on defending champion Gus Hansen.

You know Vince. As the price of poker rises, we are now going to an anti of $5,000 and an anti of $20 and $40,000. blinds once again, it is to instigate action if you didn't have antis and blind tournaments would last three months and for those of you new to tournament poker remember you play until there is a man standing until one person wins all the chips on the table, right? Now it will be Tino Leic from Australia, he has the king seven of hearts and he is not going to call. Look at this. Gus Hansen has landed a real hand.

Two jacks. This is a monster, especially for Gus. He's going up. He comes for 110,000. Paul. Phillips with a Queen n right behind him he's not going to play Mel looks down and an ace two of the suit he Ops to fold it and the guy from Brooklyn look this has a great hand Ace Jack of Hearts meets Gus lightning with anything call, he just calls it with that hand, call and Dey folds via two-way action Ace Jack against a pair of jacks, so the back players are doing it again here Vince, it's Ace Jack of hars versus two Two Jacks , here comes a flop flop. the Queen appears 43 4 does not help Abe at this point check he checks checks Gus with a pair of jacks slowing down he is not going to bet this fourth card four got four Hearts for the flush check and passes check check Gus checks again last card last card up three pair the table doesn't help Abe at this point check Abe checks again AB Che Gamblin Gus what's he going to do he's going to bet this time he's going to bet 100,000 here with the two jacks he finally hits it right on the guy from Brooklyn, what are you doing , Gus, and now Abe has to be thinking that his Ace must be good here.

I mean, why wouldn't Gus have bet anywhere in this hand? That's what Abe is thinking right now, suddenly, in the end he comes out betting. he's still going to call this with just a high A he'll look for it and I don't blame him that has to be good he's not going to like it but you can't blame him for calling here he turns the cards over and they win and you have to reevaluate that in reality he wasn't crazy about just checking that hand on Forre, his opponent could have won that pot by catching a harder ace, you're right about that, but for the first time today there's not a smile on ab's face remember that Tino, Jus and Abe They are very familiar with each other because of the backham world, they play with each other a lot and are literally some of the best players in the world.

We return to action. it's going to be about our Australian friend who folds a queen Deuce now he's on Gus Gus has a 10 n which is a suited connector interesting hand in poker the type of hand you want to see a flop with he pays 40,000 Paul Phillips has a king jacks suited and calls Mel folded his King 10 and ab from the small blind has a nine five of diamonds that pays 40,000 and look at this, Wy veteran Dewey tomko is moving all in over all of them with just an a of four oh, he's pushing it Dy finally comes out in this game.

I mean, this is a great game of poker, folks, when you see all these guys limping around begging trying to see a cheap flop here. They force them to be equal to everyone. for their money and they respect Dwey because he hasn't played any hands, so when a player likes that perception of him, when he goes all in, you really have to respect him, now we know that he doesn't have an incredible hand, he is solid but he is playing like it's amazing. Well, Gus knows that D is a poker veteran. Is he making a move here?

Is it possible that King Jack could be the best hand? Well, he leaves it. Paul is going to let that one go and Abe goes. to leave it Dewey is going to take this boat Dewey welcome to the game now that's the experience for you Vince we see you right there Did he have great instincts? He saw all these guys limping. He felt that his high ace was good. He approached. the top even though it was an ace4 to take that pot great play from Dewey right there don't go away folks there's more amazing poker action to come only on the World Poker Tour stay tuned welcome back to balagio at the five Diamond World This week's Poker Classic stops at the World Poker Tour and Vince's final table tonight is a diamond in the queue.

It's a beautiful, unpredictable wild poker game going on here right now, but we wouldn't expect anything less from this group. Let's find out how these players compare. Now, Dwey goes up to the board and collects the first pot from him. He is Mr. Solid, a great Florida gambler, a former kindergarten teacher, and a highly respected poker player. Well, Vince, he has been runner-up in the world on three different occasions. Dewey comes back this time he has 108 off, he doesn't go crazy on us there Tino throws a 74 Gus with the queen six suited gets out of the way back to the mini Gus Paul Phillips has an ace five this time on the button in the position of that button Of course, represents where the dealer would be.

It's a good place to be in Holden poker. Abe stares at him. When a guy looks at you like that, it usually means they're going to play Pod 100. Well, Paul's going up. make it 100,000 Mel leads but Abe is interested with the king and out of the suit here he goes again The kid from Brooklyn is not going to let Paul get away with this, he is calling, calling the Rays out of position here with a king nine, the hand continues here we go and it hits the Kings, yes it does, so here comes King Jack. Six Abe checks, now Paul hasn't hit his hand, he only has ace high, how is he going to play so well?

He might be trying to catch it here to get past it, get it up, maybe look. the intensity of the boy from Brooklyn will make Paul fall into the trap 100 Paul bets 100 Paul bets 100,000 here directly on the boy withReyes and quickly goes to equalize it. Abe just calls, he doesn't raise it back here, so now there's about 450,000. in the pot the turn card that appears here is now a jack now the board pairs jack jacks no help for Paul Phillips check Abe checks again CU does it now Paul with only an ace high here remember well, he is in that position and he has to act at the end, he doesn't know if there's a trap here 300 Paul's going to bite 300 300,000 Paul bets on this pot Two Jacks King six on the board with two wow, that'll put Abe to the test here, that's a bet brave you know by not raising on the Flop or betting on the Flop or the turn AB has put himself in a cookie jar here, Vince, because now he doesn't know what to do, that King n doesn't look so good anymore in case his opponent had a jack which he now made. three Jacks May, it's going to be a tough call, he's in a spider hole right now, he's drinking that water quickly, this is one of the happiest poker players I've ever seen, but he's quitting right now, Vince, oh , if it does. came down and it was Paul Phillips' pressure so well done, yeah, there was no doubt about it.

Abe has been spanked twice here tonight first by Gus. Now for mini Gus Paul Phillips, let's take a look at where Abe went wrong, well he made a couple. of kings on the flop, he could have taken the lead there and bet instead, he checked and then called Paul's $100,000 bet when the jack appears on the turn. Abe checks again and allows Paul to take control with the $300,000 bet. Now what he was thinking here is he and Paul had over a million dollars when the plot started. He didn't want to face another big bet on the river where he could jeopardize all of his chips.

This just shows that the guy who takes the lead, the aggressive player has the advantage. advantage and won this pot thanks to Paul Phillips showing the pro that Vince is fine, we certainly witnessed Abe's inexperience in that hand. Paul Phillips ended up taking that pot away because he never took the lead back to the action is on the guy from Brooklyn A7 this time from Hearts 120 he's coming for 120,000 right behind him look at this Dewey TOMCO has beaten the pair of Divas queens all in Dy says Tino dates 97 Gus Hansen with Jack Deuce isn't going to pay Well, Phillips right behind him isn't going to play with Mel, so back to Abe here, two magic poker words Holden, all in Dewey with the ladies, that's the three words for Abe right now, dagger and me, 345, Dave, you have a very good starting hand A7 of hearts, well, it's going to cost you another 345,000 to call this bet.

Look at him looking at Dewey at this point. Oh boy, this is the guy who said beforehand that playing with people in poker is overrated. I play percentages, but in the meantime. this guy criticizes everyone like he's dissecting them that's why he's become a gaming expert instead of a poker expert in poker you have to play with the player now you have a good hand questions how cool wow talks about poker in a nutshell look at this I like it his attitude though he has to be frustrated by that last hand, he flopped top pair and ended up losing that pot.

I just can't imagine he would call dwey with an ace and a seven. I pay, he pays, he's going to pay, well, he can win. this pot, but he, in my opinion, his armor is broken here, well, he faces the ladies, the Devas, the cabore sisters, whatever, he has some problems, he is a bit of a dog, we are going to see a failure here , it's Jack 65. Right now you're going to have to catch an Ace or two of Hearts, otherwise Dey TOMCO will double up and here we go, the King of Hearts comes on the turn, so now you have the max flush draw here, It has many outlets here. he can catch a heart or an ace if he doesn't catch that Dy he will double here comes the river he is not going to help the boy D is going to take the pot his pair of queens waiting you call with that name you call it that name is Bestwood and Vince, the guy from New York who has gotten here, in my opinion, the last two deals in a row, the way he's played them, both mistakes on both hands have cost him dearly, but look, the smile is back on the kid from Brooklyn, who always smiles even. when he takes bad beats, well that wasn't a bad beat, it was a bad play Vince, I honestly don't think any of the other players at the table would have called Dy Rays there with the A7 of Hearts like AB did in this one moment.

The poker perception of Dwey TOMCO is very strong. He makes a nice dribble there and is back in action. He has been a school teacher. He earned $6,100 a year. I had to supplement my income. He had played poker all night and I came there to sleep. It was the best job in the world, not because he slept all the time, but because the kids were fantastic. Owner of a golf course. When I became a golfer. I tried to become a scratch golfer and once I became one, I started looking into other things and now a casino. owner, I had to get bored and I need a new adventure.

The casino business is quite a lucrative business. I like it. I've been on it for about a year. They didn't build all these lights here in Las Vegas for a non-profit organization and after a 15-year hiatus from poker, there is another undertaking that this second time WPT finalist wants to fulfill. Now it's another challenge for me to become a good player again and my son is really the main reason why I try to teach him how to play poker and with a teacher like Dewey his. The children will surely learn a great lesson, yes, even when my children were growing up, I used to tell them when they played baseball, basketball or something like that.

Never show your emotions every time you do it, you are giving your opponent an advantage, how would you like it? have that as a teacher when you're 5 hey I wish it would have been fun bring the cards to school okay it'll be on Dewey once again this time look at a 93 off suit that doesn't go. to call is Ono throws a 108 Gus looking at San Francisco for n in his hand 49ers are not going to play now Paul Phillips just has a different suit 5-3 folds over Mel Judah this time he has an interesting hand he has Jack 10 of hearts and He's only going to pay 20 grand plus he's only going to pay 100 and the guy from Brooklyn, can you spell tilt with a king?

Six of clubs goes up, no, it says 100,000, it said 100. I don't know what, now I believe. AB wanted to raise that 100,000, that is 100,000 in total, the tournament director, Jack mlen, tells him which means that it will cost Mel 60,000 more to pay, so he considers it okay. AB has been losing control here a little bit, well he has King six and raised the pot with that, here we go with our flop and the flop is King Jack seven and they both got pairs on the flop. Abes was bigger with the Kings and Mel quickly passed and they were all over the Brooklyn boy.

It's up to Abe, he has two kings here. the top pair remembers that the last time he had him he ended up losing in the pot because he didn't play him 150 and won a cool calculated 150,000, but Mel without hesitation Mel moves all-in on him and without hesitation Abe calls him. It's happening fast, we have kings against jack, so now Mel is going uphill, he has second pair, two jacks, his opponent has top pair, two kings. Mel will have to help him or he will end up in sixth place. Incredible Mel just doesn't believe it. the guy from Brooklyn thinks maybe his Jack was in front, he's not, we see he's a dog going to Fourth Street, so this is a $900,000 pot.

Now he needs to catch a Jack or 10 or two cars racing to make a straight or he's going to be our sixth place finisher and here we go it's a seven that matches the sevens on the table doesn't help Mel well that hurts Mel because now he can't win the P with a 10 he shouldn't catch a jack either here's the cash card no he's not going to do it he's not doing it Mel Judah is going to be eliminated here Mel Judah a former winner on the World Poker Tour this season he's our sixth classified here in Palazio very nice Ovation for M Judah well, very good sport he puts on the jacket he shakes his hand he is going to take $101,000 for his effort the crowd loves him but now there are five of us and the boy from Brooklyn is coming back stay with We'll be back at Bagio in Las Vegas Just after this welcome back to the Bellagio Hotel and Casino, this week's stop on the World Poker Tour, we now return to the men at the center of all the action Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patton.

Well, Vince, former World Poker Tour champion Mel Judah just got eliminated. We have five players left from this final table. They are going to open the games a little more. You can't wait to have big couples. You have to bet. Let's see what happens with the boy and Abe. first he folds the 86 D is going to quickly fold an ace five Le with a king queen of spades is going to raise with a strong hand good good hand against the two blinds 320 look at this right behind him betting Gus has a tennis ace Spad and is raising, he's raised it again to 320,000 to $200,000 and raised his playing partner Paul with Jack Tarts coming out quickly and look at this Tino with a strong starting hand, he could finally apply it, I guess 200 more, yeah, the interesting thing.

The thing is, he's thinking that Gus could be playing with anything, after all, he's the poker player. This may be a very difficult decision for Tino to make right now. Tino has around 450,000 F left, he has to put in 200 right now. leave it with only 250,000 left we know they both have quality starting hands Ace T against King Queen all Spades these guys have fought many times at the back table but this is the poker table we are at guus it's King what is Tino going to do it? Same, he's calling, he's going to call so we're going to see a flop here and right now there's over 700,000 in the pot, give me a spin, honey.

Gus is going to be in a good position, anything can happen on the flop, but he does it. He's in a good position in terms of odds with his hand, so remember he's king, queen of spades. Gus has Ace 10 of Spades, so here we go for over 700,000 in the pot, here comes a flop and look at this Ace King Jack, they've both made top pair, yeah. they have Gus two aces with an ace high straight Tino has two kings with an ace high straight which is a great flop, you got some of that Gus, that's a great look at this little poker conversation, you know, he says, what? do you have any of that?

You have no idea, I think he'll find out soon. Gus has top pair here and a straight draw with ace high. He is sitting pretty well. How is he going to play? 300. Gus is going to put him all in. Tino could have paid quickly. a bet of $300,000 and right now for Tino to stay alive in this tournament he will have to catch a king or a 10. I need you a 10. A queen won't help him because that will give Gus an ace high straight. Lino quickly pays for it. Because of Gus' reckless reputation, can the man from Down Under survive this?

Let's go see Fourth Street. Well, a five comes up, so now Tino has a king or a 10. He must catch one of those cards. The river card that comes out, doesn't make it and doesn't understand it, so Tino returns as our fifth place finisher. Oh, great effort from Tino today. Tino Leage took home $130,000 for his efforts. Well, he waves to the crowd, the Aussies give him a good round of applause, but even so. The Aussies are gone now having come out in sixth and fifth place here. I'll tell you, very impressive, he's shifting gears like a NASCAR driver, well Vin and no limit, keep it up, you've got to know when to put the pedal to the metal. when to back off when to shift gears shaunah Hyatt focuses on gear shifting strategy in this week's poker corner presented by anheiser World select flying around the Raceway or fighting on the mat if you don't shift gears at some point You're destined to burn out, you have to be extremely aware of your circumstances, they're all set up, they know what the flow of the table is, they know who's playing, you're cold, you're looking at eight other guys, you don't know what.

What anyone really does when they take a seat in a no-limit tournament with a field of sometimes hundreds, the action can change Fast and Furious, the key is adaptation, the smart ones, you know, they just learn it that way, they just have no problem adapt to a new table and come right in, then you have to be like a quarterback, when he wants to switch to play at the line of scrimmage, you have to make a calculated assumption of how everyone plays, as well as what each player's style is. unique, just like every table in a tournament and the best strategy to stay in the race is selective aggression.

I play a lot of hands. A bit crazy game. People like us just dominate anyway wherever they go. At some point, if I'm sitting at the same table, they're going to play. He answers me like that I like to change tables and be aggressive at that table too. G comes to everyone slow down because he is a bit animalistic. There is not limit. Celebrate them. Tournaments are a lot like Darwin's natural selection. It is the survival of the fittest. You plan to outlast your opponents. You better learn how to handle Stick Mik. We are down to four players and the anties and blinds have gone up.

Yes, they have, and our chip leader right now is Gus Hansen, the guy who was the chip leader when the day started. over a million dollars for the winner, let's see who gets lucky at Pole Phillips this time, everyone is the first to act, look at a 75 offside, abysmal hand, he's going to throw it overboard. 15, now there are 150,000 left, so up 990,000. has that hockey puckwhite in front of him which is the best place in poker Holden because he will have to act last and he has an ace3 this dwey looking at him because he has a great starting hand King Queen of Clubs and he puts Vance, he leaves it quickly.

I can't believe that's a pretty close abandonment in a four-player game. V I have to tell you that, in the meantime, Gus Hansen has a jack four of hearts. Gus, you know, he plays anything. a big chip leader at this stage and look at this fence he's going for your chips he'll call you with the jack four and Dey folds the king and queen of clubs to show you different styles unique and world class so here we are . come on, we're going to have a flop and the flop is Ace 10 n of spades, which is great for the guy from Brooklyn who picked up the pair of aces does nothing for Gus and Gus is going to check.

The Brooklyn boy can't believe this attempt. To act casual I'm all in, he's going all in, he won't let him get a flush in case he has a spade in his hand for nothing. Just putting all his chips in the pot, I'm out and Gus does his best. Well done to the kid from Brooklyn, he's in for a big boat. Well, V, so far you must be impressed with the way Ab is willing to bet with these top players. He's loose and paying off, stay tuned, we'll be right back from the Five Diamond World Poker Classic here on the World Poker Tour.

The first thing you should do is never show your hand unless it is necessary whenever you think you are being cute and want to show your hand, all you are doing is giving information to your opponent, the best thing you can do is just throw your hand every time and make you guess wrong Poker Face, hey, it doesn't matter when you play online at partypoker.com, it's fun, it's easy, it's the biggest poker room in the world, welcome back to the World Poker Tour in Pachio, in the heart of Las Vegas, defending Five Diamond champion Gus Hansen, continues his relentless style, sending Australian league Tino back to Australia and giving his old friend Abe Moseri a lesson at Reading School.

It will be in session for this rookie in the tournament, but the Brooklyn kid shows some street smarts by defeating bicycle champion Mel Judah with his enemy-turned-millionaire Archen. Paul Phillips has a new challenge to overcome as he attempts to overtake Gus for the lead while Dy TOMCO remains. The Silent Force on the table bites the clock as he waits to attack with four players remaining, anyone can still shine in this five-Diamond matchup. Welcome back to Balagio in Las Vegas on the World Poker Tour. Here we are left with four. Mike vce, what's interesting? What I believe is that three out of four of these final entrants have been to a World Poker Tour final table before facing the pressure, the bright lights, let's see if the experience is worth it.

There are many ingredients to being a great poker player, but none more important than having Street. smart Mr Street Smart from Brooklyn the kid Abe Moseri looks at a queen of a suit he won't play he's like a kid in the candy store here today he just loves this Dewey TOMCO on the button finally picks up a big hand Ace King of Clubs , he got the Babe Ruth from very skillful poker hands, now even he can play this strong 260, so he raised 200,000, he made a 260 to make an ominous sound directly towards Gus Hansen, who now also has a very big hand, has Ace Jack. of Spades seven, he's going to fight Dy TOMCO right here 700,000, he's going to try to upset Dey, obviously we know he's behind here.

Paul Phillips with an ace, Jack is going to let that go well after raising a r ra, throws his Ace Jack left and now plays with Ace K suits, probably just going for the whole Kaboodle here, whatever it is Oh, he also does it in such a nonchalant way, with a flick of his finger he goes all-in, he only has 850,000 in chip, 700,000 to call so he's just going to put them all in there now okay I call of course he He's going to call this I have to call there are no two cards I could have to fold this for that amount of money Dewey has a big monster hand and now he's a big favorite to double up here in the biggest pot we've ever had today Vince, it's a monster pot, but don't forget that if Gus got lucky and beat Dewey, he would eliminate Dwey from this event.

About the cards Even though you're in good shape, I guarantee your heart races when, if you lose this pot, you report to the rail, if you win it, you take one step closer to a million dollars. Gus's neck twitches a little. The best thing is to see a flop, well the flop is queen 93, so at this point Gus will have to have a jack or hit two consecutive cards to make a straight or he is going to double the give n on Fourth street and a five that won't help. Gus now has one jack left, the last card doesn't catch him.

Dey TOMCO, the former kindergarten teacher, just went to grad school on that V hand, just schooled Gus Hansen right there, pick up 800,000 in that pot now. That could be the great Gus Hansen's first misstep. He is trying to look up at the sky to reanalyze. Did he make a mistake or was that the play he's thinking to himself? I'm sure it could have been the right thing to do against everyone else. player other than Dy TOMCO, but against him H, you wonder if you made the right play or not it's easy for us to say, sitting here constantly reeling in danger and playing without limits, keep it here, we are at Bagio Ultimate Resort, you know and V. we are literally sitting in the casino that offers the highest stakes poker games in the world every day all year round, right here at balagio high stakes.

The bagio hotel casino in Las Vegas in a nutshell oh yeah baby a poker player's paradise this is my casino at home I live on the street so playing bagio is a dream come true for me. We offer the highest limits in the world, but we also have games for the average novice poker player who is just starting out or you can buy your way in for as little as $25 and if you are a high roller or just want to feel like the five star amenities of Balagio definitely has you covered, not only do we offer good action in our poker rooms but it is also a resort environment where a person can have a vacation world renowned shows exclusive shopping award winning restaurant and that is just the beginning bagio guests receive the royal treatment the bazio is just a first class place i feel comfortable and it makes me play better great place to come if i came here once or twice twice a year for the rest of my life to hang out with the guys.

I like it. I like it. He would be a happy man. Yeah come on. He's going to be Dewey again, who has a lot of chips in front of him. pushes them to take a look at his hand, yes, KN ​​drops to 93, now folds it, goes back to the stack and signs Gus Hansen with an ace six, A6 offsuit, comes back and raises the next pot, puts it At 150,000, it doesn't work. to be discouraged, Paul Phillips threw a five Deuce now Abe only has an 87 suited, but opts to call 90 thousand more to fight Gus Hansen, maybe he thinks Gus is at a disadvantage and will slide a little after losing the last boat. he's going to splash around here, let's see a flop, well it comes to 83, they both made their pairs, of course, Gus is being bigger with the aces, so the action is on Abe, now he has two eights.

Gus has two aces, there are 370,000 in the pot, he looks. Abe looking down at Gus, well, Ab has a little over 400,000 left, but what do you want to do here with a pair of eights, a kid from Brooklyn so far playing impeccable poker? But we know, of course, that he comes second here to Gus. Overall, he's doing well, he's doing it, he's making a great move right now. Remember that Gus has an ace and a small card, a six, so if his opponent has an ace, it is unlikely that he can have the best hand. How much do you have? strong pressure bets on the boy Gus, his kicker is a terrible kicker, what will Gus do?

What will Gus do? What 20? How much is it? There are 420,000. That is what it is. Gus, that will be a big hit to your stack if you call and lose this pot. you should double, gush, okay, he's doing it, he's made the right decision, maybe he's convinced himself to call, you don't want Gus Hansen, what call is he making here, his instincts are strange, he's got it with this marginal hand, of course. has the best hand and right now Abe is not feeling very well, he knows he is facing this here, obviously disappointed, but he is not out of this yet, there are still two cards left, no, he can catch an eight or a seven here and win this jackpot if you do.

He will be our fourth qualifier here is Fourth Street he needs a seven without help it will not be an eight or a seven it is a five of clubs so it all depends on his last card if it is not an eight or a seven Gus Hansen is going to get him out of this tournament , let's look at Fifth Street, it's a no, it's not going to do it, it's a Duce and it's over for the kid from Brooklyn and Gus Hansen pushing him back to the ball, he'll be our fourth qualifier. Masari, what a performance he did today, the first poker tournament ever played to finish fourth in a World Poker Tour event, that's something, but you saw a little bit of inexperience there.

Vance Abraham is still smiling, great attitude, good effort, here today. to be our fourth qualifier and he's going to the Players Lounge where he can practice saying forget it with two other casualties so if you're a backgaming player I feel like maybe there's a little bit of rivalry between you and Gus there definitely is a rivalry between me and Gus and right now he's a lot better than me, but at some point we'll fight again, well Vin, we've got three seasoned poker veterans left here, three great champions facing off at Bellagio, stay tuned, we will be back on the World Poker Tour, welcome back to the World Poker Tour and to this record-breaking event here in Las Vegas at the wonderful Bagio Hotel and Casino.

Well, Vince, what a pleasure it is to see three of the best poker players in the world compete for this title here and now. It is incredible that three great champions, Gus Hansen, are seeking their third World Poker Tour title. Paul and Dy are trying to get first, but they've all been here at the WPT final tables. before Dewey Gus Paul Men in Black at work so here we go the action will be on Paul Phillips here this time check this out he's beaten the Divas a couple of checkers a huge hand especially in a three handed poker game , has taken his time with this 150 and is going to raise, yes he does, TOMCO with a king four quickly threw his hand now to Gus and the big blind who has an ace high, opts to call the 90,000 plus, so which is Ace Duce to Gus two queens.

For Paul, it's very exciting for Paul to win checkers with three hands, here we go with a flop, well the flop is Jack 73, all spades, now this gives Gus the best flush draw, the flush draw high with ace and gives Paul the top pair of the two queens. Look at this Gus checking his hand to see if he really has that Ace of Spades and yes, he does the right thing with it and he's going to take the lead and bet on the four that comes to the flush and he goes right to Paul Wy. I bet 130,000 now Paul has top pair here, so it will be interesting to see what he does now I raise, he's going to raise, he's going to try to punish Gus Hansen.

I would raise two with two That in this place, of course, you have a big over pair three-handed they make him pay 300 plus 300,000 more for Gus now friends, he has tested Gus Hansen right here remember that these are the two leaders in chips you're up against in this pot this could be the online tournament right here right now what to do now with just one color draw bold rays straight towards your arch nemesis Gus Hansen, but what's going through your mind is that if you lose him in Fourth Street, you call a bet and go to Fifth Street with it. are you going to fall with this hand? that's the question well now these guys are mirroring themselves they're both riffing the exact same way same suit same haircut you know what I think they were separated at birth well Gus Hansen look at this he's going to call it, he opted for match here, why not? he's going to make a move to try to get that flush, so on Fourth Street we win a huge pot and we sue Fourth Street, oh, Gus got it, it comes up the six of spades, which is home.

Run for Gus Hansen, well he has landed the ace high flush. He has done incredible. There is a hand that could beat him if someone had the four and five of spades, but trust me, if you have the ace of spades, all your money will be gone. If your opponent bets so excited, look how cool he is right now, well I can tell you that Paul Phillips mr.com didn't like it coming up six for spades, remember he doesn't have a spade in his hand, that's a real Disaster for Paul Phillips and very cool Gus right here, what is Gus going to do here? 800 and he is going to make a big bet of 800,000 and Paul got upset and suddenly his two queens shrank, they went from being lovely ladies to ugly looking girls.

I have a top pair. I can not continue. That is, you will get everything on the turn. If Paul makes a good throw, he throws both queens. How horrible for Street's card for Paul Phillips right there, over a million. 200,000 in that pot and Gus Hansen is our big chip leader once again, two-time WPT champion Gus Hansen speaks many languages ​​withfluency in Yemen High Stak yatsi and of course no limit Texas Holdem being a game player you got this huh. Same train of thought, play games, play games for money, okay Aming, high level competition got it, but the stakes are high, yatsi, in Denmark some guys were joking and created a similar game with six D , we still call it yatsi, so the end result of this.

World class player is any game he plays he plays to win, but the Great Dane may have a new challenge on his hands with a similar Type A personality paul.com Phillips finished second in this season's WPT event at The Bicycle Casino. I have several came close to making a lot of money, but before the bike he had never had a six-figure cash. I made at least two clear mistakes. Wow, you have my number. Any of which, if he hadn't messed up, would have definitely won the tournament. I'll call you. He called me, he has to do it, he hits the table, he knows it's over, but Brandon's mistakes that I made I won't make again, it's not about the money at all now, just at a higher level, the more you bet if he plays poker and money means too much to you, you might get a little tense and too shy, so in that area I would say he has an advantage over me.

Gus has a different style than any other successful tournament player and wow! It's difficult, but on the other hand it could make you too sloppy. There's a counterstrategy for Gus and I have a pretty good idea what it is, so I like my chances now that they're playing total mind games here, both knowing what the other is doing. The tricks are: I can tell you, Vince, no matter how much money they make here, the stylist will not reap the benefits again. Gus Hansen this time has the king four of spades and is going to raise the big surprise 150,000 opens PO for 150,000 Paul Phillips looks at his cards he has a jack nine of spades he puts the chips on his cards to protect them now what is he going to do? what to do with this 400, he's reraising Gus Hansen with just jack n vents now Dewey quickly folds an 83 suited against Gus Gus only has a king and a four, remember it's the best hand, but he doesn't know it, for supposed. but you have to admire Paul Phillips for outplaying Gus, raising 400,000 to go here, not letting him dictate the pace of the play, he's going to win here, there's no intimidation, you're absolutely right, you know, that's his game plan. game. outplay Gus as much as you can here today, it was worth it for him, he won this pot by doing so well at poker, you will always want to be sitting behind the poker maniac and I mean that in the nicest way in the world, Gus, I know.

You are a brilliant poker player, but yes, sometimes you are a maniac and that is what makes you the best on the planet. Can Gus hold on and defend his title here at the Five Diamond World Poker Classic? Stay tuned, we'll be back. bagio on the World Poker Tour The World Poker Tour has landed in Balagio for the Five Diamond World Poker Classic and what a

classic

it is turning out to be fierce competition. You're seeing everything going on here, let's go to the leaderboard and see how the players have anties and the blinds have gone up to $10,000 Annie right now the blinds are 50 and 100 million as we move towards the finish line Gus Hansen our leader in chips with 3.1 million in chips Paul is in second place with about 2.1 million and dey in third place with about 1.1 million dwey TOMCO from Florida sitting patiently and right now it's going to be for our man Dewey look at a jack three off suit he's just looking at these guys Collide, get out of his way here Gus Hansen with Queen n I'm going to call him Paul just got a jack Deuce off suit says okay give us a flop so once again Gus and Paul fight with queen nine against Jack two, look at this Jack 64 comes up on the flop, he has hit Paul Phillips, yes he has. and Gus checks to Paul who has flopped the top pairs, we say Paul bets 100,000 but he is going to bet 100 grand directly to Gus, yes he is what Gus is going to do here now he realized that Paul bet the minimum bet possible now, why have you bet so much? a minimum bet and he's going to raise it he feels weakness on Paul's part it's B 300,000 raised to 200,000 with nothing friends he has a queen and a nine this is Artistry poker right now or a poker mistake I'm not sure and he has Test Paul Phillips, now we see that Paul has the Jackson or the best hand, but believe me, when you're sitting there with a jack and a two and your opponent has raised you on this flop, you're not crazy about a jack. and a two more, that's the strength of the check-raise, just being able to check and then come back and make a raise makes this game much more interesting, well, not only will you have to deal with calling this raise that you have. two more streets to be bet again, so what are you going to do when your opponent bets?

He'll climb over it and get back on Gus. I love this play. He is re-raising Gus Hansen. Here he is going to say yes. you can beat these Jacks, good luck to you my friend, how does this man know? Come on, this is a tremendous over-the-top raise, just a huge raise from Paul Phillips right here and he raised another 500,000, he wasn't going to face a decision. on Force Street and Gus folds, oh he's out Gus Gus Paul Phillips did it brilliantly and look at Paul's wife in the audience loving that tremendous bet, you have to love the game of these two players, Gus to make a raise like That thing about trying to win the pot and then Paul getting back on top with a jack and a two.

What sensational poker we are seeing here and for the first time Gus Hansen seems like he is a little furious, he doesn't like advantage poles. taken from him right now he doesn't like his left he doesn't like that he's dressed in black as well as him Paul Phillips is on a little streak right here I can tell you every pot he beats Gus his confidence level is going up but D he's sitting patiently and he's going to let these guys knock each other out maybe I can take the second or first place prize money the jump from third to second is almost a quarter of a million dollars so you know you don't want to get too involved If it is not necessary, that is the tactic used in tournaments.

Well, we still have a million dollars in chips, so believe me, it's got a lot of chips, but hey, back to the action, it's hot and it's heavy. Gus Hansen. This time he looks at two1 in his hand, a very good hand from Gus, and he's going to raise. This guy isn't used to real hands. He tried to steal the last boat. He comes back and picks up a royal hand, but right next to him, Paul Phillips has I've got a big hand for Ace, queen of another suit, these two, the Heckle and Jackal show goes on and it's getting nasty, well, a Queen is a monster hand in a three-handed game, especially when Gus Hansen raises in front of you, what is he going to do?

I'm all in, he's all in, he's betting almost three million in chips, here, quickly comes out what he says to Gus, okay, you want to bet all your chips, let's do it, but Gus has the big hand, we know he has a pair. of tens a legitimate interesting hand is a good hand that's interesting but what goes through your mind is if your opponent has two top cards if he has a top pair or would he make the same play with two eights Gus is in a dilemma what decision The face by Gus Hansen here will dry your mouth out awfully fast.

Yeah, well, I'm telling you, it's going to cost Gus all his chips, which is about 2.3 million. You want to bet them here with two tens against Paul Phillips, what a monster? pot they are going to play here if you choose to play this pot Vince Gus is ahead with pocket tens at this point he would be a slight favorite over Paul Phillips with only Ace Queen what decision did Gus Hansen face with the poker power people? Paul Phillips knows it by taking advantage here, can he oust a man with tens in a three-handed game? That's the question: how can I make this decision?

How can I make this decision? How can I make this decision? I have Gus Hansen talking to himself here palagio I call him, he called him, what a decision by Gus Hansen, here he made the right decision. We are in a race situation. Paul nods, he knows it was a good decision. You know, come as it comes. You have to admire the instincts of Gus Hansen, who has the most chips. Yes, you must love this action tonight. Simply sensational poker. Look at this. All his chips are inside. Will it be victory or disaster in the desert?

Find out below. the World Poker Tour continues from balagio in Las Vegas welcome back to the World Poker Tour at palagio in Las Vegas right now Internet millionaire Paul Phillips is trying to take over Danish champion Gus Hansen, will the rich get richer or can the Great Dane busting out the .com again, well here we go, we've got Paul with Ace Queen and Gus with a pair of tens. Gus is a slight favorite at the moment. This is fantastic poker and I don't care who wins a moment of the pot in TR time. Flop 99 arrives Jack Gus is in front of this point with the T Gus is now a three to one favorite to win this hand here comes the turn and a four of G is still in front with the T he has to avoid an ace or a queen, if you do so, will double and have over 5 million in chips.

This would be great for Gus. The River card appears. Oh, a lady. Paul Phillips has gotten a queen on the river to eliminate Gus Hansen from this tournament. Gus Hansen right there folks, the two-time World Poker Tour champion is not going to get his third title today Vince, I'm speechless, it's just horrible pace. Wow, it's Paul Phillips' lucky day, he's done it. Beating a big champion, the crowd gives Gus a big ovation, they are a little surprised that he is eliminated because the card came on the river, which makes it even more shocking. J Hansen will be our third place finisher.

He'll take 276,000, but right now Gus Hansen has to go back and inform the players. Lounge, which to poker players feels like San Quenton. I assume you won last year's Five Diamond World Poker Classic? How does it feel that you didn't get there first? I mean, I'm happy to have made it this far, but it was a pretty tough loss. I mean, from the beginning it's a very open hand, everyone can win, but it's always difficult when it's down to the last card, so it took my breath away, but I'll come back, but Mike, we have two players left in Bagio, here we go.

The cash is coming, the pretty girls and the mayor of Las Vegas, Oscar Goodman, are coming to do the cash presentation, the big hitters are here tonight, you know, that's how you know when poker has become popular when the mayor shows up in your poker game. I'm a criminal defense attorney by trade and I'll see you guys only a mayor of Las Vegas can get away with this if he's been mayor for so long here walking away there you see the cash on the table well we're looking at about 1, 6 million on the table, we're about to begin for the heads of the poker competition, the Dewey TOMCO round against Dr.

Paul Phillips, we have two left, let's go to the table, Vince, as we begin the heads-up game, we remember that both players have been to the final table of the World Poker Tour event but neither has won a WPT event and both want to fulfill that dream. One of them will be here very soon. Both players experimented tremendously, very Savvy and right now it's going to be. be at Paul Phillips in the head-to-head competition to make a decision first look at the eight of diamonds we don't know it's an interesting hand 250 250 is going to raise it's 250,000 to go well he's going to use the advantage of that button says there is no Advantage now 'cause Dewey's got a real hand, he's got a pair of nines all in and he's gone all in with them, he's taking both and he's come out on top, he's going to test him here, oh him. just push Paul back to his spot, well you know Paul has a big chip lead, he might be tempted to bet but he knows he doesn't want to double up on a guy like Dewey, just too hard to get his chips, now the strategy is to go. all in takes all the question marks out of the equation and recognizes that although Paul has a big chip lead now, if dwey wins two consecutive Allin state pots he will be the chip leader, so everything changes quickly and there is no limit to retain it.

What's more, now Paul knows that if he calls us and knocks him out, he is the champion. It will cost him 570,000 more to pay. Oh God, he could afford to call because he has over five million in chips, but do you want to? a bet here, do you want to double up on Dewey TOMCO here this early in the final table? PA Phillips looks like he has that quick headache, this has to hurt you, well he has an interesting decision, Vince, that's a big mistake on my part. Never leave this here, but hey, he's saying that he made a mistake.

Well, I'm not sure I did it. That's not the hand I want to bend you with. I don't know if you want to dub Dewey right here right now. Dewey had the real hand. I'll tell you this, even though Gus would have paid, he's right about that, he's right that one is a guarantee. I think he would have with over 5 million in chips, he would have paid another 470,000, so the key for Paul Phillips. Right now, since he is the main chip leader, he shouldn't make a crucial mistake right now, he doesn't want to do anything silly like doubling up to give him confidence and let's not forgetthe bicycle when he played at the final table.

He made some mistakes when he had a lot of chips, maybe he will learn from that action. This time the person on the button will act first playing heads-up before the Flop and will act last after the Flop and then this time. the doctor has jack8 off suit, he Ops to call the other 50,000 and look at this, oh the fingers go up with an abysmal hand 53 of Hearts, he has five high, he com comes to the top, horrible hand, but it will work with the all inclusive. To bed, friends, this is a poker lesson that everyone should recognize and there is no limit.

Hold on, you don't necessarily have to collect cards, you have to play against your opponent. He feels that Paul was trying to get in there to get a cheap flop, which in fact he did. He thought that if he moved, Paul would throw the cards away from him, that's exactly what happened. He gives credit to Dewey for the way he played that hand. This time he's going to be with him again, he's just staring at a 10 and he's doing it all over again, he's going to do it again, he's getting carried away, now he's going all in once again with a mediocre hand.

Now Paul saw Dwey go all out. a few times in a row he is getting upset now that he has King Sixti in his hand. Yeah, King High, now Dwey has over 900,000 in chips, so he's not really the kind of hand you want to double up with, but on the other hand he shows it to you. that again Dy had the worst hand, but he beat the pot fence and this is making Paul Phillips a little hot right now, he's starting to get a little worried, here he is letting Dewey Peck get away from him, dwey is cutting, as we say. and when you're removing these blinds in anies, you're doing pretty well because you get 170,000 in pop, so dwey again uses a very impressive tactic and he's won three pots in a row, Vance because he made that aggressive Allin bet and he's on Dewey one once again, all good, this time he takes a good hand, Ace 10is Spade, goes with everything and you see Paul's frustration, look at a 73, I can't call it well this time.

Did he have a strong hand? He had a 10is gap, but who cares. I mean, now he does the same thing no matter what, but Paul just tells himself why he can't. I have one hand against this guy, that's all I need. I can arrest him. Paul Phillips, although he hasn't made the mistake, is keeping his ego out of it. Right now, he is very smart. You see the strategy being carried out here. Now there will be no more. plan we're going to have a showdown for this money here shortly don't touch that remote we'll be right back with more of the balagio in just a moment in poker it's good to have multiple personalities I'm always mixing up my plays so people keep guessing who I'll be in this one hand catching Gus who checks raise your chips aggressive Gus who plays all hands no matter how I play it's up to you we play at full tip poker.com welcome back to bagio in the five Diamond World cker Classic we start with 314 players, we have left two heads-up for the title and over a million in V cash, it's been an incredible ride here.

I can't believe Destiny is on Paul Phillips' side tonight. Two, let's get to the table, well Paul admitted that he's not really playing for money here, he has a lot of money, he really wants to win a title on the World Poker Tour and who knows if he'll ever get a better chance than this. Paul Phillips shows a lot of emotion but he is absolutely an expert at poker, very composed today, although I must say that now Dwey TOMCO is going to show the finger again. He was going all out. I can't believe these cards marked Paul Phillips are going to give him the Finger back here in a minute Paul falling 43 this guy is a runaway train right now.

I mean, he just left the station. He goes at full speed. It's absolutely brilliant. Dy TOMCO, how far will he slide before Paul Phillips catches him. That's a question, well Dewey is coming back into this match right now, he has about 1.2 million, he started the heads up with about 700, this is having some very interesting action, he's on Paul, he's looking towards a five Deuce, now that's a religious hand, you need a prayer to win it pretty horrible 250 he's going to try he's bet 200 15,000 with a high five but look right behind him all in again like he's swatting flies there you're really getting me with the moves in the bad spots the Dewey machine goes over the top with ace4 but give Paul credit, he tried to win the Pod V, he just couldn't do it, he took it right away, look at this, it made Paul start whistling and generally in poker that's not a good sign.

Well, Vince, we haven't seen anything but all the extremes of Dewey. Tomin comes so far and there is a saying in poker. Vance says playing always works, but once it's good, he's fighting hard and doing everything he can to hold on. D will launch away once again. he has a 10 n suit and he has gone all in again and this time Paul Phillips has a real hand, he has the queen ten of diamonds. I'm not sure it's a real hand when your opponent bets a million dollars and you're counting on that. well you have to take a stand at some point he's been over a million dollars in this pot almost a million more now he's squirming in his seat he's really going to squirm if he folds his hand when he sees the doy cards it's on a dominant position with a queen 10 of diamonds versus 10 n of suit welcome to paul's poker pain fest.

It's getting worse and worse for him. I mean, you think you could relax. You have all those chips, believe me. Paul Phillips won't relax until that trophy. he is in his hands, otherwise he will get stressed and lose the little hair he has now. This is a very smart guy. He realized what happened in the bike tournament earlier. He doesn't want to make the same mistake doing everything he does. He can keep his composure, he has a pretty good hand, yes, he does. I love his instincts. He has a hunch. Is he pulling the Rogue out from under him again and again?

If he knew what we do, he would be jumping for joy. and having his chips there in a second seems like a coin toss. I'm thinking about it. You see VY wants to flip a coin, whether he calls it or not, that's the way to do it. Boy, I'd better take it back. a two-sided coin is called heads. I'll tell you that's the way he bets on football. I listened and it's as good a way as any. I'll tell you. I'm with you, my brother, look at Paul and look back at you. now people remember that D has just gone all and everything and everything and everything continually here until he drives you crazy, eventually you'll have to draw your sword in the sand and hold out here if Paul does it here.

I will be in very good shape, well, this head-to-head competition continues for a long time. Paul's hair is starting to grow back. Look at this and I think he's starting to fall a little. You know, you can't say he has a poker face. I'm sorry, he's a great poker player, but hey look, it's painful. You know you don't want to double down and give him more than a couple million in chips, which is what would happen if he lost this pot. I master half of the hands. wait and I'm dominated by the other half well you're not going to get anything looking at Dey I'll tell you look at that face and he leaves it, he's going to leave it and if dwey knew how lucky he was that hand that Paul left that hand was about to pull the trigger there Vince really did it he's getting frustrated you see he wants to play he's dying to play a pot interesting tactic he realizes he's still way ahead isn't he going to bet right now it's just a matter of time, he thinks that sometimes I have to raise a hand when he does this, right?

That's what he's thinking, where is he? He makes the difference, sometimes he wants to bank his money with the best hand if possible and here we go again 1.1 million for the winner Dewey looks at a king eight why doesn't he surprise me? He's doing it again. I paid but Paul Phillips got a pair this time and says pay. You, he has chosen Sunset Strip 77, so he has two sevens. He now remembers that that was his lucky hand at Legends of Poker when he beat TJ Cluder, who had two jacks, hit a seven to make three sevens and won.

Can they hold out against Dey? Well, can he get lucky today? He is in front. We know that the Flop is here. Oh, he hit three sevens on the flops. Oh, tremendous for Paul, but Dwey hit a flush draw on the flop. Vin, yes, he can win if a spade appears. Dy would love to double with the flush draw he's like playing online, can he do it? here we go with a turn no it's not going to work it's a three of hearts right now Dey TOMCO has to catch a spade that doesn't match the board to stay alive in this tournament if he doesn't Paul Phillips will be our champion here we go with the river the queen of cash cards has done it he is Hing all Paul Phillips is our champion finally got a pair he has in a race situation, he won the race against Gus, he won the race against Dewey, he is our champion, oh this It's beautiful, he was pushed in head-to-head competition all night, but finally Paul Phillips' patience and perseverance paid off with a big win here. and he's going to be our champion and he looks at this, he's going to approach his wife at The Stand, he's going to walk away with $1.1 million, but what a great effort by the Florida poker player.

Dy carried the torch very well for poker veterans. here tonight what a performance by Dewey Tom so on the rich get richer he wanted the title he got the title well Vince I know this means everything to him he had a chance at The Bicycle Casino he didn't do it he did it here tonight at bagio and I guarantee you it feels great what an exciting five diamond world poker championship we had here in balagio right now we want to have a towar champion with the poker players favorite beer and Heiser World select so let's open the beer and toast to our champion.
