said i like poker a lot more i'm playing cards is this what you wish for my friend oh boy i bet it is what a call this would be well right now we're saying geez it's easier in the courtroom this would be the call of the day but he is gonna fold it nicely done by tyler smith who shows his friends in the crowd there she shows the ac ducey that he had nothing and just bluffed the guy out doesn't have to show the table he laughs in their faces i was trying to compare the two tables from last year and this year i don't know which table is tougher tyler smith playing this first hand since tippecanoe and tyler two were in office this year i've got boyd corkins on my immediate left i told a lot of people that he was one of the best players i've played with but then again last year i had soheil and

the borivage in biloxi mississippi with a southern poker championship where six players remain well hoyt corkins well out in front right now with over 2 million in chips and as he said vince his mission is to get a heads up play what he calls the super bowl and out of his five previous appearances at these wpt final tables he's done that three times can he do it yet again tonight a quick full by jerry van strydonk james reid the owner of a roofing company folding as well but look at this mr brooklyn has picked up aces jerry jaffe oh boy this is how you get promoted in the law firm vince you pick up bullets grace oh boy show tunes going off in your head right there he's going to raise it to 58 000 to go it's very loose tonight tyler smith oh boy well betsy said he was going to force the action tonight but look at this he is getting out raisin chips here with a jack four spade and he is not gonna like it he's raised it to 165 white with just an ace eight cannot play with that jonathan cantor he's the oil man out of tulsa oklahoma and his first wpt event he goes out oh and look at this picking him you know picking on me picking on me oh what about this lawyer vince love that lying line well folks this is why you stop being a lawyer and become a poker player you pick up two aces your opponent comes over the top of you and now you're going to the drama school a tough world isn't it there jared come on just massage him just call it give me a thrill i'm in a race oh don't do it oh don't blow him away what are you afraid of mr brooklyn come on how much more is it oh he's gone up over top all in tyler's acting like how much more have you got here he's got the jack four here it's like 450 right 500. well he's just showing off for the crowd here vince that's for sure maybe he's thinking maybe i'm priced in i don't know not priced in for another 600 000. no i'm not calling you can say that again well there you go the lawyer taking down a pot i should say the poker player now vance he's quit being a lawyer to become a poker pro 28 years old it's just so exciting this game when it's going right oh man all right the next hand jerry vance trijunk tough young pro quickly folds james reid the guy that got his tournament on a 500 satellite throws his hand away i'm now back on danny devito here the actor jared jaffe this time with a decent jack 10 off suit he just took down the last pot with two aces so maybe thinks he's on a little heater here he's going to raise it up to 55 000. put his old nemesis behind him tyler smith with just nine seven going to re-raise this is unbelievable man isn't it you know last year the guy didn't play a pie at this final table this year didn't look like he can throw a hand away white's going to throw that away now back to the oil man jonathan cantor looks at the 10 deuce he's not going to play so the same two guys battling it out yet again the last round went to jared jaffe this round might go to him too if he would play this hand little does he know however that his jacket is the best hand well he's gonna lay it down so the 23 old bluffing here to take it down and again showing his buddies in the audience a bluff you only show the crowd when you play against me yes interesting yeah it's like four times now but only against me i had a since yesterday when i showed you that's not what my wife said oh somebody dropped a dime on him mayor vance your wife's lying to you she might be all right the andes are going up to 3 000 blinds 12 and 24 now back on jared jaffe quickly falls to king jack and now the very reckless tyler smith with an ace seven of diamonds he's gonna raise it to 60 000. as he is hoy cork is behind him though with a suited connector he says he's a position player doesn't like his position he ain't he folds yeah he's got the chip lead just gonna rest a little here now jonathan cantor has an ace five off suit here jonathan from tulsa oklahoma says i'm not playing this for the money and usually that means he's playing for the money but i kind of believe in this time he's going to make a call with an ace five jerry out the roofing guy james reed on eventful eight four goes out canter call him because the other guy's raised every single pot so far tonight so you just can't put a guy in a hand every time flop is jack five deuce so with that flop jonathan has taken the lead but tyler is continuing to bet here on the jack five news flop cool yeah 115 000 with his ace high jonathan gonna call we're going to the turn you know look at this big trouble card check and now tyler checks the two aces here oil man get the chips out that's 175 000 with his two pair tyler dire straights here he was bluffing on the flop now he's hit two aces he's checked and his opponent has bet 115 000. very dangerous place he's in right now oil man's been playing pretty tight so far well he's going all in big mistake by tyler yeah one pair yeah you got a set well he doesn't have a set but he's got aces up and you were in trouble well tyler's gonna have to catch a jack or a seven to win this pot nothing else will do for him big opportunity for the oil man from oklahoma will his hand hold up one card to go here it is comes the river card well it's a nine of diamonds yeah mr oil gets lucky the oil is on fire in biloxi so even though tyler is not out of this tournament he's down about any money right now man that was a big blow to the youngster right there stay with us we're coming back with more action here on the world polka tour oh a little kiss from the wife and why not [Applause] i like playing poker because i'm a very competitive person it's not really about the money for me i'm playing for the title if i go out sixth i'm gonna know that i gave it my all and that's the best that i can do welcome back to the battle of biloxi we are on the mississippi gold coast of the southern poker championship i'm vince van patten alongside mike sexton we still have six players left looking to net a payload of cash and the chance to call themselves a wpt champion let's get back to the action you can see right now the wpt champion hoy cork is out in front with close to 2.1 million jonathan cantor the oil man from oklahoma with about 1.6 but on the short stack now there you see him tyler smith very dejected right now knows he's virtually going to have to play about any two cards that are dealt to him here because of his chip stack he's moving all in with a four deuce offsuit you can't pick up too much worse cards than that but that shows you how short a stack is he's moving in here because he's going to be in the big blind the next hand wait behind him with a7 he's going to muck though mr oil jonathan cantor with a jack eight will he play ball no he goes out jerry going out as well boy fold would be nice good luck don't hold your breath james reed is going to call this royal five with a queen five five and jared jaffe with the four three in the big blind also calling not gonna raise good luck tyler thank you well tyler has a chance to triple up here we're gonna have to get very lucky to do it let's see if that'll happen well it's king nine four that's a good start for tyler he's tied for the lead right now with a pair of fours yes he is the other guys are gonna check just seen the turn as a ten of hearts well again it goes check check so tyler still tied with the two fours but a six of spade on the river will give him a chop pot he'll be happy to get that another four god i hope we chop it yeah it's the best you can do is chop with it and that's what's gonna happen at first he thought he got beat with his kicker but he's excited now he realizes he's gonna split and his mom donna also excited but boy's gonna stick around how is your three not better than a two okay i don't get it well it's not better because it doesn't come into play you only play five cards in a poker hand both players are playing the two fours and the king ten nine all right well vance even though tyler has chopped this pot he's still in dire straits back to the money pit next hand we play hoyt corkins first to act the old alabama cowboy wpt champion peeks down in a king eight offsuit not going to play that under the gun mr oil from tulsa also folding around to the 24 year old the biological engineer from cornell university now a poker pro has an ace queen he's going to come in the pot for 55 000. james reed out and now jared look at this he also has ace queen that race he's going to come over top of the 24 year old here 155. yep makes it 155 now tyler smith with just jack three is going to throw his chips in trying to get lucky well vince already had 24 000 invested in the big blind so just gonna gamble here and try to triple up i got a really big hand but i guess you can't really be messing around now jerry he's gonna fold this can i do you a favor maybe maybe so two-way action i just hope i got two long cards where's your phone it's quinn man tyler said good i hope i've got two live cards and he does have that so he's got his wish now he's got to get lucky to win the pot right now the lawyer is trying to put tyler into bankruptcy we will see if it works nearly 300 000 in this pot though so if he could win this tyler could get right back in this thing vince the flop comes king 10-6 tyler's shaking his head no because now he sees it jack is not going to win the pot for him that would give jarrod a straight worst flop imaginable so he's going to have to catch a three to win this pot could catch two runners to make a straight but things looking very bad right now for the 23 year old white dismal here comes the turn card can he get there no four spades well we are down to the river card and if a local pro wants to stay alive in this tournament he's going to have to catch a three on the river nothing else we'll do well the board pairs sixes so that's going to do it for tyler smith who made this final table one year ago last year he was very tight this year was very loose next year maybe he should do a compromise of the tight loops that's entertaining picks up close to 87 000 and just like that we are down to five i was playing to win so i'm either normally i'm either gonna get six fifth or six or i'm going to win it and this time i got six big money at stake here at the forward bars we're coming back with more action in just a moment on the world poker tour the wpt event has played the beau rivage southern poker championship it takes a lot of patience to win these events people don't understand the number of hours that are involved it's as grueling or can be as grueling as a major sport you may sit there for 12 hours 14 hours straight so you have to make sure you're disciplined a lot of the new guys today they don't have any patience they want to get their money in they want to see the next hand it's a little bit hard to win this event it takes a lot of patience a lot of hours welcome

wants to play this hand nope gonna lay it down roofer folds and the two-day lawyer jared can't play that so hoyt is gonna win this pot nobody wants to mess with hoyt message but i've had something to

the top ten all-time money winners on the world poker tour if we could take this title tonight all right to the next hand we go jonathan cantor with a nine eight quickly folds his hand okay it's on jerry from rochester here's an ace nine this time and he's gonna raise with it makes it 58 000 to go as the roofer looks down at an awful looking 4-3 quickly folds hey over to the two-day lawyer whoops sorry in sloppy fashion folds his hand and how many chips you start with sir um 1.1 maybe let me ask how many chips the kids got about half as many chips as hoyt has which got the ace 8 of spade he's in the big blind for 24 000. if white had position on him maybe he re-raises but he says he's a position player doesn't like his position and just calls let's see what happens now flop comes queen 10-9 so white's got a good shot straight draw he checks and jerry he's got bottom pair but he also checks here's fourth street deuce of hearts helps neither player back on hoyt white's going to check again jerry checks right behind him and that tells me that he's not looking to clash with hoyt right now who's the chip leader now an ace comes off so the youngsters now got aces up but wait might think his two aces the best hand right here the kids checked a couple times in a row you wouldn't think he'd check ace king erased jack we're acing any pair that was on the board but this could spell a lot of trouble for hoyt he bets and just a quick call no consideration of a raise by jerry well a value bet by hoyter but he's going to lose this part to aces and nines very cautious play by jarrod not coming back they respect this he puts you [Applause] well the catfish are jumping as the cards keep flying here in biloxi there's more to come from the wpt so stick around [Applause] welcome back to the great state of mississippi we are in biloxi for the final table of the southern poker championship the folks at the bow revised resort and casino really understand

jerry quickly folding and now it is on the roofer james brady's got a five seven short stacked and look at this he's getting his chips and he's putting them in well he's making a move right here vance just hoping nobody calls so he can pick up the blinds and annie's oh unfortunately right behind him on the button the two-day lawyer looks down at a pair of eights how much pretty decent hand in a five-handed poker game and he is pondering this decision well he's in fourth chip position right now out of the five the only guy he's got covered is the guy that moved in i call so he's going to make the call point out texas tee with a king eight won't play eights you got a pair no well then it's a flip no i know you need it well the lawyer thinks he's in a race as it is his opponent doesn't even have one over card the roofer has one leg run over by a forklift at this moment he's baby thank you as his wife nicole looks on she asked what you got man 388 let's make a straight yesterday she's the greatest reader of all people she should have known him there's still hope he's done it with slop before he's stuck around can he do it again got to get lucky sometime man he's going to have to get very lucky to stay alive in this tournament otherwise he'll be getting the bucket the ladder and heading back up to the rooftop i put five clubs on the board he's 37 years old from noon in georgia a dream alive can he get it there he got one of his cards it's come ace queen 5. so the wife's smiling now she knows if he catches a five or seven he could take the lead and win this pot [Music] the man from brooklyn not happy about that flop he wanted to shut him out completely but that didn't happen here's the turn carter six comes off two child that was close right in the middle of what he needed seven or a five he needs to get lucky hey hey will it happen here for james reed here comes the river four hearts comes off that's gonna do it from the roofer from noon in georgia james reid is gonna be out in fifth place tonight [Music] [Applause] finally falling on the roofer going to take home 106 000 and just like that we have four players remaining at four rivage my wife she got me here just

the old man from oklahoma jonathan cantor the online pro jerry van strydon and the two day lawyer jared jaffe all for a quest of becoming the champion of the southern poker championship we're coming right back for more on the world poker tour welcome back to the world poker tour four players remain and hoyt corkins is out in front with close to two million in chips oil man jonathan cantor with about 1.7 million in chips well vance all four players have well over 1.2 million in chip so it's anybody's game but certainly hoyt corkins got to be the favorite all right to the felt we go mr oil jonathan cantor looks down today king three of diamonds quickly folds his hand over the 24 year old online pro out of rochester new york yeah he's gone out and now jared jaffe i call with ace four gonna call it really limped in on a small blind with an ace high and hoyt with a jack three is gonna raise it well vance hoyt thinks the guy limped in just trying to see a cheap flop would never put him on an ace in this spot so hoyt is going to raise it he's in position he's got the chip lead and his opponent has made the call here comes the flop well it's king 10-8 two clubs no help to either player action on the two-day lawyer he's gonna check and here comes hoyt reaching for chips with an absolute garfunkel and he's going to make the continuation bet of 80 000 here to put pressure on the lawyer and jared looking back to see if he could squeeze out a second a somehow but it's not there jared he lays his hand down so aggressive play by wpt champ hoyt corkins taking down that pot bullying me again see the paranoia of the new yorker once again you're picking on me well they can talk all they want to ahoy just nothing's going to phase this guy all right into the next hand hawaii this time with an uneventful 10-4 and he's gonna throw it away hey man from tulsa oklahoma looks at an a3 on the button and get out so once again a battle of the blinds into jerry looks like an online opie doesn't he remember opie from the andy griffith show he's grown up uh he's called it jared not gonna race with jack six so here comes the flop oh what a flop for opier a760 flop top and bottom pair and he's leading right out and betting 35 000. he did jared who got a piece of that pair of sixes because the pot wasn't raised before the flop there is jerry's not going to put him on an a so he's going to try to raise it to take it away from him with bottom pair here that is not going to work 120. 120 000 is the bet train wreck before our very eyes jerry knows it's possibly could be beat but believe me when you're playing against another blind and you flop top and bottom pair your money is going in there whether you're beat or not in this case jared virtually almost drawn completely dead he's got a one percent chance to win this pot gotta come jack jack and indeed jerry's come over the top and raised it and look at this jared has made this call vince with just bottom pair and that was a 175 thousand dollar call and now what's going to happen if your opponent bets on the turn what do you do with bottom pair five of diamonds comes off that's a scare card because it's the possible straight doesn't scare jerry too much he moves all in with it oh boy another five mess you got yourself into jared oh boy no place to go and hide here i'll tell you vince in case he decides to make the call here with just the two sixes it'll be case closed for the lawyer he is drawn completely dead no card he can win the pot with and that's all he can beat is a complete stone bluff nothing else even his opponent had an eight nine in a straight draw he made it no way the two day lawyer is calling this in my mind but you never know big problem for the new yorker and he finally gets it he folds the hand well he does fold it the judge says overrule my man give the pot to the youngster big pot for jerry four players remain here at biloxi we're coming back for more on the world poker tour tonight's episode of the world poker tour is brought to you by planewpt.com welcome back to the southern poker championship on the world poker tour four-handed poker and the annie's are going up to 4 000 lines of 15 and 30 000. wpt champ hoyt corkins came to this final table with the chip plead he's still the chip leader let's see if he can go wire to wire to capture a second title action on the 24 year old out of rochester quickly folds his hand and now jared jaffe from new york also folding so it's a battle of the blinds here well hoyt corkins our chip leader reaching for raisin chips here he's got a 10-3 but he likes his position and he went back to a stack for more chips not really allowed this is what we call a string bet he didn't say anything oh look at this oh man i recognize that fact i can't bring it back i'm bringing some chips mr oil very astute noticing that but i'll bring my hand back and they're going to discuss it right now but it should be 65 000. when you bent in poker you must announce the size of your bet or take all your chips out there in one motion look here we put some chips out there but now he's reaching back to get more chips that's considering breaking your stack it's not allowed because you might get a read off your opponent if he's thinking about playing or folding maybe you might want to bet a few more chips to get him out that's the reason for the rule and mr oil spotted that gets off cheap does have an a6 let's see if it'll work for him now flop comes king jack five no help to either player boy now reaching for chips he's gonna make a continuation bet here looks like a hundred and ten thousand yep gonna try to steam through this hand re-raise i think oh man that's absolutely nothing vance we haven't seen any speed from him yet at this final table yet he's raising here with just a nice high just a good read by the oil man just thinking this guy's steaming i don't believe him i'm gonna try to grab and steal this pot well 285 000 is the bet now there's no way hoyt's going to call what he's thinking about is if i move in on this guy could he stand it well the answer is no he couldn't but the question is does white want to jeopardize his chips here he's already matted himself for making a string bed here does he want to compound his problems in case the guy has a hand oh boy this cowboy's getting dragged by the stirrup right now not feeling too good well he is going to throw it away but stop going up to the oil man there going some aggressiveness to re-raise the chip leader with nothing yeah there's his lovely wife on the rail very excited out pro the pro there well jonathan's wife linda flew in on the private jet this morning now vince it's nice when you have a private jet where you don't have to call check the airlines and the schedules and if you can get to town in time you just get on the jet and go so right here all right back to the back the table hoy corkins now gonna squeeze a pair of jacks out of this one yep he's got the fish hooks as we say two jacks steaming a little bit from that last pot so let's see what they do here this time he's got a hand and he's going to raise it again to 110 000. back into jonathan he's got a seductive little six seven diamond suited connector and he's also got the button he's also got as many chips as hoyt does now so he's in position with a lot of chips and he's gonna make the call i like to pour some more salt into hoyt's wound now the pot is swelling up here vance and look at this jerry has picked up a pair of eights out of the small blind i'm certain he's at least gonna call the question is do you call or come over the top here yourself well jerry's gonna make the call also into two-day lawyer who's got a king queen oh that's that's a pretty good hand too come on he's gonna go all in here [Applause] put it out there hoyt wants to know how much it is this could be a cowboy showdown well that's what the two day lawyer was thinking there was hoyt might have just made a steam raise these other guys didn't come over the top they can't be that strong he's just going to move in and try to pick up the pot but it's not working hoyt corkins has made the call he says i've ridden bigger bulls before oil man's out as is jerry so here we go looks like i'm going to need to get lucky you got ice cream well we've got a race situation here you got to get a chance well aware they're in a race situation says you've got a good chance he also knows that to win poker tournaments you got to win races you got the suits too who's going to get lucky here and win this one cowboy getting out of his saddle where'd you fold sir it's wait a minute jerry what did you have a g-file sir he's also asking oil man he's not a hand teller but look there's no response by him this guy's very cagey not by much here we go with the flop well flop comes 7-6-3 and right now the old man's sick he's not involved in this pot he would have flopped a top two pair as it is the lawyer's not happy either he's got to catch a king or a queen to win the pot yeah the cowboy out in front with the jacks here comes the turn card another four diamonds comes on the turn now what that means is a five comes off they both make a seven high straight and split this pot the two day lawyer's life on the line gonna have to catch a kangaroo queen to win this pot otherwise he'll be out in fourth place can he get the suck out nope nine of clubs comes off so that's gonna do it for jared jaffe from brooklyn new york gonna be out tonight in fourth place that was a big effort gotta take home 135 000 yep three players left finding out for this title look at that thank you with that hand our time has run out but as you know anything can happen on the wpt and it usually does three players left wptp champ point corkins the oil man jonathan panter from oklahoma and the online pro from new york jerry van strydon so join us next time for continuing wpt coverage of the southern poker championship from the beau revised resort casino i don't understand what this is for here the world poker tour the biggest games the greatest players and the largest payouts on the planet the wpt is a series of international high-stakes poker tournaments that can turn amateur players into millionaires and make professionals into superstars with millions of dollars on the line it's time for these three players to live the dream of fame fortune and the one thing money can't buy a wpt title tonight on the world poker tour hi everyone welcome back to the majestic bowl rivage resort and casino we are in mississippi's gulf coast for the exciting conclusion of the southern poker championship i'm mike sexton along with vince van patten and this is the wpt and mike i tell you it's been impressive non-stop action from the opening bell here at the bow rivage and that action included the quick meltdown of local favorite tyler smith alongside the elimination of two short stacked players but the big story sits with wpt champ hoyt corkins this is the sixth wpt final table and he is looking to join that elite group of players who have earned multiple wpt titles yes but sitting in his way are two impressive opponents the oil man from oklahoma jonathan cantor and the young internet player from upstate new york jerry van strydonk these players really want the cash and the title we're very close to crowning the next wpt champion all right who's it gonna be only one way to find out let's go watch some gamble and hoyt has the chips he's a chip leader 2.9 million jonathan cannon with 2.1 cherry vance dryden with 1.2 the annie's are 4 000 blinds 15 and 30. let's go to the felt action on the cowboy hoyt corkins who picks up a pretty impressive ace nine well quite certainly far and away the most experienced of these players left in this tournament here he's got an ace nine oh that hand is favored over the random two card blind hand so he's going to raise it here makes it 68 000 to go into mr oil from tulsa jonathan cantor he's got a nine eight and he folds now it's around to the 24 year old and let me add this guy studied biological engineering at cornell university pretty impressive stuff he's gonna make the call here with a queen seven off suit so he is gambling here with the chip leader just a little let's see what happens now flop comes east king seven so the youngsters fly bottom pair hoyt is flop top pair and yet it's gone check check white did not bet his two aces there and it may come back to bite him as the youngsters made two pair on the turn queens and sevens and now has the lead jerry checks again trying to trap here well hoyt's now gonna bet just in case his opponent just made two queens or some kind of straight draw little does he know he now has the worst hand 120 000 auntie jerry i can just come right over the top of the guy but maybe he's afraid wait was slow playing on the flop by checking will he come back over the top make him pay for it get him out no he's just gonna cool call he's just gonna call with two pair see what happens on the river here i'm a little surprised he wouldn't raise there but he didn't ada spade comes off action on the youngster now look at this vince he checked and called on the turn and now all of a sudden he's going to lead out and bet on the river 275 000. now hoyt's trying to figure this out what is going on here guy didn't raise me on the turn all of a sudden he's going to bet on the river now hoyt's not lacking events but this could very well be a curiosity call very irritating if you're white right now and if you look over his right shoulder you'll see hoyt's broke cowboy cousin in the background oh boy well 275 thousand hoyt's gonna make the call he's not gonna like it i just i just went crazy well hoyt said he went crazy not happy with the ray played that pot there's the jerry birds right there yeah boyd didn't bet this hand on the flop when he hit the two aces and then he paid off the 275 000 on the river so he's not at all happy with the way he played that hand good start here by jerry taken down at least in that hand the great hoyt corkins now action back on hoyt again he picks up ace high this time at age five don't anger this cowboy he certainly bungled the ace 9 a minute ago let's see what he's going to do here with the ace five lines 15 and 30. we're playing fast here in biloxi and he's going to race at 72 000 to go 72. now the action on the oklahoma businessman who says if there's one thing i want you to know about me i said i'm not related to rodney dangerfield does look a little like him didn't he something like that and he folds so back to the youngster again this time he's got the 98 holes he's going to make the call why not just beat hoyt a minute ago maybe he can do it again here he flops the open end straight draw as it comes king 67 he's going to check point again going to make the continuation bet 80 grand oh and look at this the youngster's getting out raising chips vince gonna come right over the top with the opening straight troll say it ain't so mike but it is and i like this bet by the youngster here i like it because he's got a hand you could gamble with if you wanted to but you're just trying to win it right here with an iron high by coming over the top and raising he's putting the old lasso right around the cowboy's neck right now i don't know what hoyt is thinking now and if i move in on this kid i would like that point expert had moving all in to take down pots but does he want to do it here and he bungled up the last pot not happy with the way he played this one just gonna sit back and give another pot to the youngster [Music] these wpt tables are hard to make there's a lot of great players don't even have anything like johnny chan or oak c so it's nothing to be took lightly you know i've been fortunate here on the wp team three players remaining at biloxi will come back with more on the world poker tour to make this final table i never thought this would happen it's always one of those things that you just dream about mr jerry van strydon it's kind of surreal that's happening so suddenly we're back here on the world poker tour at the bow rivage and jerry bent's tri-dunk is doing quite well and three players remaining he says i never dreamed this would happen but yet he's played five events made the money three times so it certainly looks to me like he could happen for this kid right now mike he's the new chip leader with about 2.2 weight with about 2.1 and the oil man jonathan cannon with about 2 million well they've all got over 2 million chips you talk about a race to the finish we are going to see it right here anybody's game all right play goes to jonathan cantor tulsa man the businessman and he is gonna raise with just a nine six of hearts next 69 000. jerry's coming right over the top here with an ace five makes it 2 30 to go but look at this cowboy hoyt picks up the eights well the pot's been raised and re-raised he doesn't know if the old man's got a real hand it could come over the top yet again so tough decision here with the mid pair for the alabama cowboy just kind of get away from the hand let's go and look at this jonathan's going to gamble here with the nine six of hearts made the call vance that's 160 thousand dollar call just wants to see a flop of the nine six of hearts but what a flop for the youngster jerry has flopped top and bottom pair he has got aces up so what a re-raise he made right there with an ace five off suit and he's gonna bet 285 000 convince the oil man better be careful here because if he makes a move now he'll be hitting an oil slick or a dry oil well one or the other it would not be prudent on this part to try to make a move here because jerry is not going anywhere with aces up jonathan said he's not in this tournament for the money he's got enough money he says i'm here for the thrill of victory well he's made the lay down show me one time i guess we've heard that story before from other guys at the final table but in this case he told his wife to get on the private jet and come out and join him here this morning to watch him play at this final table so i think he's telling the truth i think the guy's got some dough all right jerry very nice there she was asked to show his hand he showed us jonathan true gentleman at the table here we go it's on jerry again he's got a four seven of diamonds this time yeah he's going to raise with it makes it 60 000 to go but that's not going to play with hoyt here as he picks up an ace queen he comes right over the top of the youngster yeah it makes it 240 000. but jonathan canna with a pretty decent king ten of hearts well eventually just calling to re-raise a minute ago with the nine six of hearts cool and he's going to call 240 000 cold here with a king 10. yeah jerry quickly folded his hand disgusted so here we go oh when it comes king right on the flop so the oil man striking oil on this flop as he hits top pair point reaching for chips and make a continuation bet yep looks like 300 000 well the pot has over 550 000 in it so white betting 300 000 here in hopes his man goes away and that is a good poker face right there as his wife linda watches on question do you raise just call he just calls i'm puzzled by if you call a raise before the flop of that hand and hit that flop you don't raise here but now a six comes off well here hoyt wisely putting on the brakes and checking i'm all in jonathan going all in with the top pair point is profiling here for some reason just wants his opponent to think he's got something i guess how much you got there oh boy no chance he's gonna call this with just ace high vents cowboys just standing up in his stirrups trying to look pretty this is just a tactical move to try to indicate to his opponents that he has a hand and when you bet me you know be careful because you might get played with when in fact it can't beat anything but a stone bluff here and why would the guy call on the stone bluff on the flop so justin wants to see mr oil sweat a little bit he finally folds yep there you go jonathan cantor taking down that puck and with it to chip lead and so far he's starting to pick on hoyt corkins we're coming back as three players remain here on the world boca tour tonight's episode is brought to you by the world poker tour the bauery village is the jewel itself people that come here for the first time they walk through the front doors and they say wow i'm telling you it is the nicest casino by far how important are poker plays to the beau rivage how important is the wpt event to the poker world it's always a thrill to compete on the wpt because you're competing against the greatest players in the world the wpt is nba i'm telling you it's the real stuff and the weak players don't make it in the wp team welcome back to the world polka tour we're at the beautiful bowl rivage on the gulf and what a fantastic property here the annie's are going up to 5 000 blinds 20 and 40 000. right now you can see our chippy to jonathan cantor the oil man with 2.7 jerry van strydonk with 2.3 and look who's gone way down hoyt corkins down to about 1.3 million he came to this final table as the big chip leader and now he sits in third place with three players left well the action has happened jerry with a quick fold hoyt with king jack has raised you can't blame him for raising with that hand in a small blind okay and mr oil with ace four is gonna call the 105. king jack up against ace four we're flopping now flop comes nine eight seven this gives hoyt a gunshot straight draw a tim would give him a straight but he's gonna make the continuation bet 120 000 and look at this jonathan is raising with that dangerous flop vents with absolutely nothing but an ace four here that's pretty impressive stuff here oh he's going to try to manhandle the cowboy here good instincts 295. and look at this putting the pressure on the cowboy well it is a lot of pressure too man it's very difficult to call a raise here when you can only catch a 10 to probably win the pot jonathan's wife linda's sweating him on i tell you if i ever put a doll out there in the pot i'd lose it every single time right now quite getting a little befuddled whatever money i put in the pot is lost and if y'all fold to me and the big blind give me a walk i can win that one moaning and groaning there he's discouraged jonathan cantor taking down that pot and here's his wife linda in the audience hopped on a plane this morning got here about an hour before the tournament started of course i have to be here with my husband this is a dream come true for him he really enjoys uh the competitive nature and he's learning so much he said i just keep learning every time i play with these guys i just keep learning and keep learning she says he's learning and learning but right now he's doing the teaching here vince he is the main man at this table with the chip lead all right back to this hand jerry with an ace king gonna raise makes it 80 into hawaii well hoyt's played about every hand this three-handed game has yet to win a pod so he's gonna set one out here as he folds the queen three into jonathan he's got a little suited connector four or five of hearts oh he's gonna speculate speculate he's been very frisky so far playing short-handed here no doubt about it calling raises this time with a 5-4 let's go to the flop nice one for jerry hits the kings that's come king seven seven jonathan quickly checks and you know he's gonna try to disguise his hand jerry is he's checks as well and now the queen comes off well will jonathan take a stab at it he doesn't hear as he checks the youngster now is going to bet 110 000. gotta come out of the bushes and get some money out of this jonathan looking back at his hand jonathan you have the five four of hearts my friend playing with his wedding ring what does that mean right that means he raises i guess well he may not have much of a hand but he's got creativity he's got guts might not be the best timing at this moment there you see the puzzled look by the youngster here now even though you have ace king in this spot you're fearful your opponent has a seven in his hand he checked on the flop and now he's checked raised you on the turn he's kind of bumping up 270 000 in addition the old man might be taking an oil spill right here because jerry beats him in the pot with the two kings well an ace comes off well the youngster now has aces and kings jonathan said look i took my stab at this pot so he is virtually waving the flag right here no way the youngster can lose chuck but he checks on the river he said just ace king well that's going to get the job done so jonathan picking the wrong time to raise right there jerry bird seems very happy at that all his buddies from rochester new york and with that pot jerry once again takes the chip lead he's up to 2.7 million in chips majored in biological engineering at cornell university so a bright kid and he is going to raise it on the button here 80 000 with the 10 8 off suit boy corkins quickly folding but jonathan wants revenge he's got king seven makes the call i'll bet you gotta say these guys are playing they're fighting for the pots for sure well flop comes 10-9-4 jerry's flop top pair here but it's jonathan who's reaching for chips to do the betting mm-hmm starting to steam off here a little bit well vance he took a bluffing pill a minute ago certainly a playing pill because he's playing every hand in every pot now bet 130. well he's going to make the call to the discomfort of jonathan cantor turn card's a queen of spades well that no help to either player does give jonathan a gut shot straight draw he checks jerry's gonna check behind him well deuce of diamonds comes off on the river and look at this vince jonathan with just a king high is reaching for chips 205 000 and there you see the disgust in jerry's face right now thinking his two tens are beat so weird jonathan's gonna try to bully through the young guy he's afraid his opponent he's got queen jack king queen two pair jack time he's trying to figure out all the hands that can beat his two tens but as we can see jonathan has absolutely nothing like jack time king time you know agony for the 24 year old right now terrible spot i don't know if you've ever blocked me well the interesting thing is the perception of jonathan cantor early on was so tight and solid perhaps this will work little they know this guy has changed gears before our very eyes we're talking about changing gears strip gears vance certainly bluffs him i'm using that one time do you want to see it only one time you want to see it by one time that just adds to the pain doesn't advance salt in the wound there you made one block will the bluffing continue here at bury bars we will see when we'll return on the world polka tour the money is the least of my concerns i'm playing for the title the talk and all the gamesmanship between people gets me amped up and makes it exciting for me jonathan cantor welcome back to the world poker tour with the southern poker championship at the beautiful bow rivage three-handed poker continues they heard jonathan canner say it's not about the money to him it's about the title you have to believe that when he flies his wife in on the private jet all right to the table we go action on young jerry and he quickly folds the now hoy corkins with an ace juice is going to raise makes it 110 000 to go ace high figures to be the best hand against the big blind but it's not in this case the oil man struck oil again two kings here gigantic hand raise and he announces raise well hoyt made it 110 000 to go let's see how much jonathan's gonna make it 275 to the complete discomfort of hoyt corkins i'll tell you right now hoyt corgan's going to feel like a punching bag certainly in this three-handed game he had the chip lead and now he's down to a distant third these guys have just been pounding on him and vince hoyt's the kind of guy that i will just make a stand and gamble here he's trying to get a reaction he smiles but he gets a snarl back from the oil guy let's see if i can figure that out he's smiling but on the inside he's burning i can tell you it just made me nervous i don't believe you can get nervous well when you raise with an ace in a baby car and the guy comes over the top of you i can tell you folks you don't like your hand now whether hoyt's going to get stubborn he's not going to play it he's flashing his card now so obviously he's hitting the road but he's letting his opponent know that you know i raised i got a hammer i raised it now saying sir thank you i started the gamblers that would have been interesting i had ace jack i'd been in there i've been in the center with both barrels how did you hear that yep that ace jacket had been in there maybe he's lucky didn't have the extract there vince he might have been out of here okay andy's going up to ten thousand blinds now 30 and 60 000 actually going right back on jonathan and he's got a 10 deuce quickly folds it action on jerry look at this fence incredible two kings the very same hand that jonathan had just a moment ago against hoyt this is unbelievable he's running all these hands and this time he's got the ace jack a minute ago he said he'd be all in if he had that hand and he's doing it here vance and he's quickly called by the youngster once again hoyt looking at a big duke as the cards lie the youngster about a 70 favorite to win this hand and eliminate hoyt corkins from this tournament jerry getting a little massage from a stranger in the audience hoyt's dreams of capturing a second wpt title on the ropes right now he's got to sweat five cards to come here's the flop well it's come 988. so far so good for the youngster white's gonna have to catch an ace to take the lead or two running cars to make a straight otherwise he's gonna be our third place finisher two cards to come here comes the turn can hoyt get lucky deuce nope five of hearts on the turn advance we have a two-time wpt championship he's named barry greenstein they wrote a book ace on the river come black no black right now hoyt corkins has to catch an ace on the river or he's out in third place can the kid knock him out of this event coming down the river the ace of diamonds pops off on the river to put the dagger in the heart of the 24 year old hoyt corkins lives on he doubles he's very pleased oh vance it's a hand like that to give the player the real bluxy blues cry me a river okay more exciting action coming up for biloxi we're coming right back [Applause] welcome back to the world poker tour we're in biloxi mississippi for the conclusion of the southern poker championship and mike the competition here at the bow rivage has been tougher than an overcooked crawfish let's go back down to it well three players left fighting out for this title our current chip leader is a businessman out of oklahoma jonathan cantor with 2.5 million chips there you see hoyt corkins right on his tail with 2.4 million in third place a 24 year old youngster out of rochester new york there you see him jerry van strydonk he's got 1.3 million just took a horrible beat when he lost to an ace on the river for hoyt to double up okay with king queen he's going to raise it makes it 120 000 into mr lucky cowboy himself hoyt corkins well hoyt's only got nice dudes but that's enough for him to raise it up to 400 thousand i said maybe i'll catch another age on the river oil goes out and did that so quick yeah vance would have definitely called a few shoves he's in a definitely coffee shove maybe you should shove hmm just did that so quick well with this hand you're always afraid your opponent's got ace kangaroo's queen where you'd be dominated show me if i fold well he was asked would you show me if i fold maybe i'll show him the deuce fence and a full by jerry you see one come on just for that it's just one you know nice oh he does show them the eggs i can't i couldn't beat that but i could flip with a lot of it very congenial look at him he's feeling a little sorry for jerry at that last suck out okay this hand jerry is quickly folded now cowboy hoyt with a six four of hearts just calling and mr oil with an a6 not gonna race yeah most people would raise when their opponent limped in like that but not jonathan we'll see the flop here well good flop for jonathan it's come ace nine three but hoyt's coming out and betting here he's not putting his opponent on an ace he's gonna try to represent like he's got something so he bet 75 000 and he's quickly called no raise just a call oh it's got to hit two runners to win this pot well there's one of them a four comes off with checks yeah he's gonna slow down so the guy calls you on the flop he must have something there's jonathan's wife linda very nervous about watching her man here well he is gonna bet here a hundred thousand and it's gonna make hoyt pay for it if he wants to stick around boyd is making this call now the only way you can make this call is if you specifically put your opponent on a pair of threes there's no other hand you can beat when he calls your bet on the flop boy trying to steal it but it's better than that he's three of a kind he hits colt 44s on the turning river to gun down his opponent and he checks and that's a missed check there because he doesn't get the action behind him he's going to be kicking himself about that but he still takes down a nice pot i agree vince he missed a great opportunity to value bet right there he knows the two right now he's probably kicking himself and even though he got lucky and won that pot he missed out on a value bet on the river and pros hate to do that yeah i'm trying to take a gamble without trying to make the big play but it backfires that's gonna annoy him just a little bit all right to the next hand we go jerry now with a jack five of spades and he quickly folds it but look at this hoyt now betting two million dollars here saying i don't care anymore after i misplayed that last one jonathan with not much a nine seven of clubs okay wow he has made the call vince for all his money one point two million dollars with just a nine high one of the most shocking calls i've seen in a long time i was out of bounds one last week i don't think he wants to take that jet back to oklahoma real fast with that call i just can't believe it i'm okay well hoyt is ecstatic now to see he's got the best hand with the jack eye here's jonathan's wife linda she's in shock okay something one of those two in the wind but that man put him 1.2 million with nine higher not catch one [Music] [Applause] well you can still get lucky we will see huge pot here we're coming back with the conclusion of his hand in just a moment here on the world poker tour stay with us welcome back to the world poker tour the southern poker championship continues and right now a shocking call off by jonathan cantor with just 9-7 cowboy hoyt cork is out in front with jack six well it is shocking hoyt moved all in on the small blind with jack six off suit jonathan made the call for 1.2 million all his money with a nine high hoyt in shock he's got the best hand with the jack high but no longer ace queen seven like he knew it was coming jonathan has picked up the sevens and he's in front of the cowboy well his wife can't believe it she's holding her breath now to see if his hand can hold up well the queen comes off hollering for an ace because that would give him a win as well as a jack five five of clubs five o'clock punchy five all he needs is any card but an ace or a jack anything else to win it for him the cowboy gets up from the saddle stands up to look at the river whoa buffed off the horse here as the eight of hearts comes up on the river jonathan cantor has doubled up here wife linda fainting in front of us the crowd celebrating this get up honey we're still alive here's the chip but a great call oh look at the boy can i keep a straight face says great call with a smirk i've had nothing his dreams of becoming a multiple wpt champion just took a big hit right there he's trying to get in that club daniel negrano carlos mortensen barry greenstein gus hanson another's blocked but right now he's got to work to do it here we go for the next one hoyt chuckling it up he folds his hand with that hand jonathan cantor is taking the chip lead vince unbelievable how this chimney the sea sawed back and forth between these three players 120. this time he's got jack nines going to raise makes it 120 000. jerry's got him dominated he's got queen nine he does make the call though flop comes ten eight six both players with a straight draw jonathan has an open-end straight draw he checks though jerry's going to make a bet here with a gut shot straight troll he just has queen high but he bets 175 000. yup and jonathan is not going anywhere he's making the call jonathan open ended jerry with a gut shot inside straight draw there's the diamonds comes off check doesn't help either player and it goes check check so we're going to the river four diamonds comes off that also no help to either player no one gets there who has the guts to bet jonathan is going to make a stab at this pot yeah wow what a great bet he's making vince he's going to win the pot by making a bet there yeah now if he just discussingly checked because he didn't hit his hand there he lost that pot to the queen eye just got hard he bet 375 and a quick mark by jerry so jonathan cantor our chip leader take home that title turn it back to oklahoma actually his hand to hoyt he's got king queen he's getting the raising chips out and putting them in he's going to bed 200 000. jonathan gonna take a breather goes away and now jerry with a suited connector nine eight of diamonds oh and he says all in with it well he is going all in here okay there's not no hoyt that well because hoyt calls in this spot most of the time he's done it here and as the cards lie it's about a three to two favorite to win this pot and eliminate the youngster from the tournament the jerry bird a little confused there on the rail jerry's friends from new york 60 40 in it well the best 10 hasn't won yet why start now jerry's right about that part best hand has not won yet let's see if it'll do it now if so we'll be down to heads up play here comes the flop seven four deuce no club ride car well the youngster needs two cars to make a straight order catch a nine or an eight to take the lead no club let's see if he can do it ten desperate young man ten turn card i'll take him hey that's good lisa diamonds comes on the turn so we are down to the river jerry must catch a nine or an eight otherwise he'll be our third place finisher the guy that was one card away with his kings of eliminating hoyt hoyt out riverdam now can he do the same to him well 10 of diamonds comes on the river so that's going to do it from the 24 year old from rochester new york gary van strydonk is out in third place 196 000 but don't forget he was rivered out otherwise he's a massive chip leader got out dropped by hold pockets with that ace and this is how it goes i mean in third place is pretty good when you start the 208 people but once you get there you want you want to win for you know the sure beauties are coming out now with the cash vance it's all on the line now it's come down to a wpt champ going for a second title hoyt perkins versus an oklahoma businessman and jonathan cantor okay the money the title the bracelet it's all on the line it's coming up with a heads-up action in just a moment welcome back to the world poker tour heads-up action about to begin i just have to go out there and be an opportunist i mean it's uh i have to keep my head in the game here and not just get caught up now okay it's heads up and and panic having the chip lead coming in heads up it gives you an advantage but still it's a lot of gamble which hit his mission as he came to this final table was to get down to the heads-up battle he has done that and he still has the chip lead vents he is in great shape to take down his second wpt title tonight let's see if we can do it he's got to be thrilled here we go with the heads-up battle action on hoyt and he's picked up the atom bombs pair of aces on the very first hand unbelievable that will certainly help you take that step toward that second wpt title events you pick up aces heads up but he limped in on the button and try to play it slow and jonathan says okay let's see a flop oh and jonathan has flopped top pair here this could spell trouble for him yes he's going to check it the slow play might have worked vance his opponent as he hit some of the flop white's bet 75 000 jonathan looks back at his hand hoyt's tearing him down intently as he watches his opponent make the call so hoyt out in front with the two aces eight of diamonds on the turn and again jonathan checks the top pair and again hoyt's going to reach for chips yeah he's going to bet 225 000 trying to protect the aces whereas look at this jonathan does check raise vince he believes you got the best hand with the two jacks you're never going to put hoyt on two aces here because he limped in on the button this could get very dangerous here 650 000 is the bet dangerous for jonathan well that's the problem is when you don't raise pre-flop your opponent can have any two cards he could have fives and eights he could have jackson fives he could have a straight he could have anything and look at this hoyt is laying down the two eights advance what the unbelievable i mean even yes you don't know but you're playing a heads up action you got aces oh look at the wonder cam vents a 10 comes on the river hoyt corkins would have lost that pot had he played it but well as it was he made the wrong play at the right time that is correct like he knew it was coming or something but the blinds are going up to 40 80 000 and he's 10 000. well they're about dead even in chips now but what could have lost a lot of chips in that last pot jonathan this time with a jack three and he's gonna raise it makes it 175 thousand hoyt with queen five a little punchy from that last hand how good would jonathan be feeling if he saw his opponent folded two aces the previous hand wow yeah he thinks the guy went out with an inferior hand little does he know what he did very interesting action back on hoyt corkins well here he looks down the ace three off suit well here he's getting out raising chips fence i can't wouldn't raise with two aces so he's gonna raise with the ace three off suit 190 000. cool and he's going to get a call by jonathan with queen eight oh an ace right in the door for hoyt that's a nice one for him as it comes ace 10-9 johnson quickly checks so jonathan has a gut shot straight draw and a backdoor diamond flush draw but hoyt has the best hand with two aces and he is going to bet 210 000. there you go jonathan's going to gamble bench going to try to catch that jack trying to strike lightning see if he can get it nope five of clubs comes off check jonathan has checked here if you're sitting in hoyt seat and you're saying hmm that called me on the flop i don't want to get checked raised here you hate to give a guy a free draw if he has a straight or a flush draw but that's exactly the case we just gave him a free draw to try to catch the jack well the diamond does come off now we know jonathan doesn't have a diamond flush but he's going to act like he's got events he is reaching for betting ships right here and he's going to bet 450 000 and put the wpt champ to the test well jonathan doesn't have much but he does have imagination and a lot of guts and will it pay off no not to be hoyt's going call him down he's gonna win this pot i think he made a good call hoyt and take one step closer to capturing that second wpt title hoyt corkins winning the pot with aces up and vance he's moving in the right direction cowboy last sees another out in front stay with us we're

combination of a king and a ten aces have been good for hoyt corkin so far tonight ten of clubs will it continue ten o'clock comes the turn card oh the eight of clubs comes up it's never easy shaking

wing now tree is staring him down here now he has absolutely nothing so all they can be contemplating is possibly making some type of move on the guy good poker fish though ops to fold so we've got an international flare at this final table tonight our chip leader wanderers taking down that pot to increase his chip lead did you already start blocking me [Applause] he has six players remaining going after close to 1.8 million here tonight at the commerce casino stay tuned we're coming back with more action in just a last year at moment 101 i went out at seventh place [Applause] it's just so brutal and it's really disappointing every morning i was thinking about that for like six months i was like oh my god but i knew i was gonna make it again you know i fought hard i never gave up from los angeles california michael cameron i guess my hogwarts better welcome back to the world polka tour that's the heart of michael cameron what a player he is well you heard him say he had nightmares for six months after getting knocked out on the bubble he made it to the final table tonight let's see what he can do from here mike he's on an extreme short stack right now looks down today jack three quickly folds that with our chip leader andresh goes out jc moussa the cash player also folding so now it's around to gabor kasabian he's got just a 3-2 from hollywood california yeah moved to the u.s 22 years ago make it reasonable thank you max's hand so battle of the blinds tree wing now looking at a 6'4 130. makes it 130 000 to go but oh that play is not going to work as raymond dolan has picked up two bullets in the big blind just what you're dreaming about grace youngest of 10 kids what an exciting moment to pick up aces right now 275. i was just joking you win no he can't get the action he wanted though as nicely done by the 23 year old raymond dolan brother a tin fan well cam fan one of the great poker players in the world he's made two wpt final tables he's here sweating his little brother in tonight everybody who plays wants to be the one playing but you know there's a different level of like uh excitement when it's one of your brothers in there you know he works hard i mean that's that's why he's got you know that good determination to play he's a good kid and hopefully it'll pan out he's a good kid and tim's a good big brother events because he staked him in this tournament i love family jc moussa on this hand quickly folding give your brother a call benny maybe he'll put you in next week dr gavort going out and now the venture capitalist tree looks down to the awful looking eight three but what is he up to here mike 140. well this amateur player is taking the bull by the horns here he raised last hand with the 6'4 offsuit now he's raising with an 8-3 off suit makes it 140 quick full by raymond mike cameron also out and to make a raise like that with this garbage hand against the chip leader in the big blind takes a lot of moxie and can he get the hungarian beach boy out yes he does so nicely done by tree wing the venture capitalist mike i got to ask you what is a venture capitalist well that's a guy that raises money to invest in business ventures and he hopefully makes money for his partners i'm going to start saying i'm one of those guys who knows the difference right now in this next hand mike cameron has gone all in on the short stack with just a ten seven of diamonds well vance he's got to make a move here before long at least he feels like he does give himself a shot here so he's just making a move well he's got enough chips where perhaps he can scare everybody out correct me out jc moussa also out into dr kevork who has a pretty big ace jack by the way he's not really a doctor i just like saying that cameron right now is just saying please go away let me just have the blinds and annie's i don't really want to have to get real lucky here to stay alive oh he's made the call [Applause] tree wing now with a king 10 he's out as is raymond dolan so here we go mike cameron's tournament life could be over here he talked about finishing seventh at the bay 101 tournament he could finish six here at the la poker classic unless he gets lucky here he's just taking a shot he's on the short stack put it in but he's up against a big hand ace jack there comes the flop let's come eight nine five so an open end straight draw [Applause] for mike cameron he can now win the pot with a jack or a six he'll take the lead with a ten or seven and a seven comes right off on the turn now jack won't help divorce anymore he must catch an ace or ten to win this pot it's all he can win with an ace or a ten see if he can do it on the river wow unbelievable [Applause] well heartbreak for mike cameron caught a green card on the turn to take the lead corner had to catch an eighth row 10 on the river and he had a 10. so that's gonna do it from the poker pro out of la mike cameron gonna be out tonight and take place gonna take off 246 thousand if i have to make a stand not unlucky on the river what can i say his hopes were up he had the dream alive sucked out on the river stay tuned we have five players remaining here at the commerce casino and we're coming back for more action on the world folks [Music] satellite is a way to win your way into a bigger event we have satellites here at the commerce that range from as little as forty dollars up to a thousand dollar satellite our satellite program here worked out so well that we ended up with about 180 players winning their way in for as little as 40 dollars only one of our players at the final table bought in for the full ten thousand so these guys are playing for 1.8 million for far less than ten thousand dollars we had johnny chan we had annie dude daniel negrano those guys going very deep in this tournament they're not at this final table the guys that won the satellites are so you know that's exciting thing for us here at the commerce welcome back to the world poker tour that is right play a satellite an educated guest at a lottery and four out of these five remaining players got in this tournament by winning a thousand dollar satellite only raymond dolan bought in for the ten thousand it was actually his brother tim fan that bought him in after close to one point eight million let's go to the fell jc moussa with a quick fold and now kasabian the local pro out of hollywood california also folding it's over the tree he looks down at ace 10. he's on the button obviously this hand figures to be favorite against the two blind hands 130. and he's going to make it 130 000 to go into the restaurant here he goes out and now andres looking down at an a7 he's got the a7 off suit he's got the big chip lead please and he's going to raise advance he's not calling with the a7 off suit he is coming right over the top going to raise another 230 000 more that is right the hungarian beach boy put the pressure on tree wing and i can tell you folks if you're sitting in tree seat right now you're thinking this ace ten doesn't look so big anymore especially when you're going up against the chip leader who could bust you out of this tournament if you opt to play this hand and lose it it's just too much pressure against the chip leader tree ops to lay his hand down and what a nice play by the hungarian there with his buddies at redondo beach california granting the beach house i actually folded a real hand there what a story this is it is he got in this tournament by winning a thousand dollar satellite that would be able to buy that beach house if he wins this time well he's very aggressive but back to this hand raymond dolan quickly folds and back to the hungarian who just has a 7-4 also going away over to jc musa well he looks down at h9 on the button so he's in position it's a hand that most pros would raise with certainly in this situation jc doing just that makes it 135 000 to go go fork lay down his hand and now tree wing picking up the sometimes ominous ace queen my hand's so big i have no idea how much to raise hold on let me figure it out 375. he's going to make it 375 000 to go usually when people have big hands they don't make that kind of speech well this could spell a little trouble here for the cash game pro jc musa the big question is did jc believe him or not we've seen how aggressive that tree has been so far at this final table just raising on junk all the time and he doesn't believe in vents he's moved all in on him he's short stacked he's gonna push i need some help here buddy and wing is gonna make him talk show me your hand i'll tell you pretty honest guy wow vance tree laid his hand down a minute ago when the chip leader came over the top of him now it's the short stack that's come over the top of him that's a good car my race to show you had a big hand and then i re-raised to show you that i had a bigger hand hey but you lie a lot oh it's coming back to bite me jc musa would like to see wing wing his cars right into the muck i think we're corn flipping here maybe never been so wrong you're way out in front three is gonna make the call and this could spill doom for jc moussa here well it took me so long big difference in prize money between fifth place and first over 1.4 million dollars so a lot on the line right now for jc moussa [ __ ] comes up 10-6 deuce no help for jc moussa jc is going to have to catch a nine to take the lead two running cars to make a straight here comes the turn card well king of hearts now that eliminates one of the outs for jc there the nine of hearts will not win the pot for him now so he's got to catch one of the other two nines otherwise he's going to be out in fifth place going down to the river can chase so tree has made a hard flush he is gonna win this pot so no rough for the cash game player jc moussa out in fifth place picking up 321 000 i guess he can afford to get that other arm inked up i thought i actually had the best hand when it took so long to call that a size handle we are down to four players at the la poca classic we're coming back with more action on the world poker tour my strategy is i just want to go in there play my game i'm trying to minimize my mistakes and you know try to take some chips here and there and you gotta play your best game and put on your game phase and do your thing welcome back to the world poker tour we are down to four players the winner tonight is going to take home 1.8 million boy big money and they are playing faster gambling here at the commerce casino let's go to the table [Music] well there you can see our chip leaders the hungarian andres kurokni he's got 5.3 million in chips the venture capitalists from canada tree wing in second place with 3.5 million raymond doleman third place 3.3 million and in fourth place devork casabeen 2.6 million all right to the action we go andres kurokoni now with a pair of nines first to act he's going to raise it makes it 150 000 to go into dr gabor who quickly folds the wingman with a king six also going out and now raymond dolan looks down at ace queen out of the big blind pretty big hand in a four-handed poker game all right well he announces reyes there's raymond's brothers famous tim fan one of the truly great all-around poker players in the world well dolan's going up he's going to make it 325 000 back into the hungarian beach boy let's go well he's been called so over 700 000 in the pot right now and the flop is queen three deuce a dream flop right there for raymond dolan as he's flopped top pair with top kicker and he's first to act and he's putting the chips out there 385 000. now if you're sitting in andre's seat you're saying to yourself is this guy just making a continuation bet i'm gonna call him with my two nines and find out gotta keep him honest here comes the turn card this could get expensive well now the board pairs deuces action back on raymond well he's reaching for more chips and you can't blame him yeah an additional looks like 550. now once again you're sitting in andre's seat and you're saying does this guy really have my two nines beat does he have a flush draw he's not going anywhere he's making this call is he just making another move does he think i have a flush draw well now an ace comes off so raymond now has the top two pair and even though his hands improved i'm not sure the value of his hand has improved because his opponent might fear he's got an ace high in his hand yep he's going to put out heavy money eight hundred and eighty thousand the manager of the family restaurant raymond dolan by the way the restaurant the name of it is calm tom farm cow raise just say a vietnamese restaurant please okay meantime all andrus can beat right now after a third bet by raymond is just a stone cold bluff now do you want to gamble another 880 000 if the guy's just bluffing you he's got to be thinking to himself would the guy really fire on the flop fire on the turn and fire on the river if he had nothing he lays down to two nines a good lay down finally by andres but it took him a while to get there there you see tim fan and the brothers all cheering for their man the youngest of ten brothers and sisters raymond dolan takes down that pot well vince we have come down to crunch time in this tournament i'm talking about crunch time because it's big money now for all these guys the next guy gets 450 000 runner-up gets over a million winner gets nearly 1.8 million we are talking about megabucks now folks well this tournament is going to make two new wpt pokeman millionaires tonight that's for sure let's go back to the felt right back on raymond things are going his way quickly folds but the hungarian beach boy andrus kurokoni stairs down at an ace jack gonna try to shake off that last hand just got burned a minute ago with two nines but he's gonna stick out the chips makes it a hundred and forty five thousand i need to talk to the govork he's not a doctor i just like saying that i've got a king eight of spades well that's what's happening is he's just sitting back and these guys see me and they were playing every pot raising almost every pot and he's finally gonna make a stand here with the king of spades he's gonna call him and now tree wing with just a queen three of diamonds look at this

world poker tour tonight's episode of the world poker tour is brought to you by planewpt.com [Applause] welcome back to the world poker tour with the la poker classic where four players remain and the blinds are going up to 40 and 80 000. current chip leader is raymond dolan with over 5 million in chips what's astonishing to me that as much prize money is at stake here for these guys they are not holding back they are all really gambling it up here right now right to the pit we go dr kevork quickly folding his hand tree wing now with just a ten deuce but he does not care he's gonna bump it up well vince i'm astonished how aggressive tree has been here he's the amateur at the table venture capitalist but he is playing boldly here at this final table tonight makes it 160 and right behind him restaurant manager raymond going out over to andrush he just has a 7-5 offsuit but the raise was just the minimum raise from the 80 000 big blind to 160 000 so with 320 000 in there andres feels like he's getting a good price to make the call for 80 000 more and the flop comes jack 10-6 all diamonds tree wing gets a piece of that pair of tens the hungarian checks first three checks also with two tens and a flush draw four spades on the turn andres has an opening straight throw and a bigger flush draw and he's coming out to bet 235 now if your tree you're saying well i've got a pair of tins here but in case that's no good i've also got a flush draw well he's called it we're going down to the river sometimes you don't know what to wish for in the river a diamond is not in right now they both hit their flushes andres believe it or not has the biggest flush with the five of diamonds but he's gonna check it wing no shenanigans checks as well and a wise check by tree andres kuroganai is going to take it down to the delight of the hungarian beach boys came out from hungary rented at beach house in redondo beach california and they've been parting ever since these guys came to town for a vacation decided to play a little poker at the commerce play the satellite got in could take down this tournament okay next hand raymond dolan with a 9-7 the restaurant manager only 23 years old by the way how do you become the manager if you have nine brothers and sisters wouldn't you be doing the dishes instead well that's what you were doing at 14 and 15 and 16. now you've been there a long time so you move up to management all right well he likes his hand here a little bit he's going to raise with a 9-7 makes it 200 000 right behind him andres with a king jack though he's got kojak and he's going to stick out more chips makes it 550 000 dr kavork going out doesn't just call with the king jack comes right over the top with it for another 350 000. raymond calls he wants to see a flop he's in position on the guy he's got more chips in the guy so let's see if he can get lucky on the flop here it comes let's come ace jack seven with two spades so andre should flop second pair and he's first to act and he's he's gonna get aggressive he's gonna put more chips out there 675 000 just like that well raymond's got bottom pair he's also got a back door flush and a backdoor straight draw but right now it just has two sevens his brother tim sitting there saying be careful here be careful yeah this is a good muck he gets away but what aggression we're seeing by andres he said he believes in aggressive play like all the good european players and that's his style well he's now the chip leader again we'll come back with more action on the world poker tour stay with us [Music] i think poker is very very similar to business in business when you start up you want to build a company you have to have a plan just like in poker when you get dell two cards you really should come up with a plan of how to play the hand when i'm playing poker everything i do it's pure strategy from my point of view i'm trying to think how do i get their money in business i'm trying to think well how do i build and how do i get money welcome back to the world poker tour how do i get the money venture capitalist ponzi scam it's all the same to me what is he talking about well his plan is very simple just keep firing at the pots that's his plan he's got no other plan that i've seen but give him credit for that he is not afraid to put his chips out there he's a tough player back to the felt we go i'm just with a quick fold and now dr govork with a king jack with the button he's going to race he's going to be feeling left out of the action here so far yeah he's finally going to get in it and raise with the king jack makes it 175 to go she looks down at a nonchalant six deuce 500 but he's going to come over the top make it 500 000 to go this guy is unbelievable he really is raymond dolan going out so it's back on dr govork i bet you can just see the frustration in his face his face is actually turning red here out of aggravation the way these guys are gambling it up here at this final table gonna make the call and look at the flop though king jack versus six deuce here we go here comes the flop well it's nine five deuce with two diamonds so tree is flopped bottom pair here no luck for dr govork and tree is first to act well he re-raised with a 6-2 she hit bottom pair what do you do now questions george i don't think you put your opponent on a big pair here because he didn't raise your back before the flop so maybe just put him on two big cards like he's got here's dr kofork's family in the audience he's a local tough professional all in but tree is going to go all in with this unbelievable oh just a great bet here by tree no way he can get called by gevork the aggravation and frustration continues for gevorch at this final table oh boy he's finally gonna muck his hand it's like dr devork would just like to exterminate himself here just can't make anything happen big hand man they can oh just afraid you might say what about this venture capitalist from canada this guy is an amateur player got in this tournament on a thousand dollar satellite the venture capitalist he's risked for this tournament he's going to prove to be very worthwhile wherever he finishes back to raymond dolan's hand this time he's going to squeeze a 10-7 he likes to fold and now the hungarian beach boy andres with a king 10. another guy that's a very aggressive player and he's going to fire it up here makes it 180 000 to go the work wings his cards back into the buck mr wing with a jack nine does he know that you're allowed to fold you know he's impressive he's just come to play no he doesn't know that concept he's called it let's see if he gets lucky flop is 9-7-4 all hearts tree wing with the nines tree checked it and now andres with nothing hitting there it's going to make the continuation about 285. my bench tree's got the kind of hand that most people are just going to check raise right here with his hand you've got top pair and a flush draw but no he's just going to call it and now the deuce of hearts comes off so we have the best hand with the flush has his opponent drawing dead but i'm sure he doesn't know that see what he's going to do here with the jackhat flush he's going to check now the hungarian gets none of that but he's rippling chips does he dare well the ever aggressive hungarian looks like he's going to fire again well he's fired shell number two here bluffing this pot 480 000 this time just hoping against hope that wing has no heart and will disappear into the night now you might be saying well there's only three cards could beat him the ace king or queen of hearts but if you're sitting there with a jack-high flush you're saying what else could this guy be betting but a big heart tweety he's either bluffing or he's got me dead making this call well what a great call by tree here just reading andres as a bluffer and now the queen of diamonds comes off so nothing has changed tree has the best hand with the jack i flush but let's see what's going to happen on this street and tree is going to check again gonna load up again the european is going for another load of chips it looks like he's gonna fire a third shell at this pot on a bluff forget the shell it's artillery here over a million dollar bit this incredible heart by andres the hungarian but this is not an easy call by tree what will he do very tough call to make vince more than half the chips he's got left and he is going to make the car do it well anderson just folded his hand as soon as he said cole talk about heart making the bet what about heart making the call with the jack i flush i don't have to show right tree says do i have to show mine the guy marked his cards the answer is no but that is the call of the night so well done by tree wing to tree or not the tree he has the answer big pot for tree four players remain here on the world poker tour and we're coming back for more welcome back to the world poker tour at the commerce casino for the la poker classic four players for me let's talk a little bit about the commerce casino the world's largest poker room and here they have not only magnificent tournaments but downstairs as wide a variety of cash games as you're going to find anywhere in the world biggest and the best a lot of fun here but right now the guys that are having fun are guys that are going after the millions here tonight let's go back down to the table see what happens next two of these four players will become poker made millionaires tonight the winner taking home nearly 1.8 million the runner-up getting also over a million actually 23 year old raymond dolan peeks down at a jack nine well he's under the gun meaning he's first to speak just has a jack 9 off suit but looks like he's going to play this hand vince indeed he is comes out betting 200 000 into the hungarian who quickly folds his hand and now dantico vork with a king 10 of spades well he's just seeing these guys raised all the time so he's finally gonna make a stand and see a flop here with the king ten of spades doesn't raise let's face it the man's tighter than the back seat of a hugo tree amazingly goes out one of the rare times flop comes queen four deuce with two diamonds no help to either player check divorce checks looks like raymond's going to make the continuation bet 220 000. oh boy that's going to get the job done most likely you can just see the frustration on gevork's face here can't make anything happen we're all picking on him and he goes out yep right now he's got to feel like a pinata vince the way they're all hitting on him all the time here looks like but there's a case where the guy that's leading out doing the betting has the advantage because most likely your opponent's not going to hit the flop when he doesn't hit it if you bet tough for him to call that was the case right there all right the venture capitalist going out on this hand and now raymond also folding and andres looks down at a queen jack he's going all in oh wow more frustration for gavor not only does not pick up a hand his opponents are moving in on him now of course there is no defense against the all-in bet you have to have a hand to play against it doesn't matter who you are right out of the gate andres now the hungarian picking up a pair of sevens we've got the two walking sticks as we say there's the hungarian beach club as you like to call them and hundreds is raised to 180 dr gevork out the tree wing has picked up a pair of fives i better be a little careful here he's been very very aggressive so far and usually aggressive with very bad hands here he's got a pair but just ops to call into raymond he's just got a jack eight oh man and i feel like he's priced in right now and it cost him a hundred thousand a call but there's 480 000 in the pot so he's getting a good price to call he does so and we have three-way action yep the kid's going to speculate and it's going to pay off he hit a pair of eights right there to come eight six three action as on tree right now he's gonna check his two fives raymond also checking well he's checking to the ever aggressive hungarian but if i was sitting in anders's seat right now and had a pair of sevens and my opponents checked me with this board i would bet i think two sevens are probably the best hand here the way the betting's gone well he's betting 300 000. a tree wing with the pair of fives well tough decision for tree he's seen this guy bluff time and time again is he just making a continuation bet well perhaps because there's three players in the pot he's going to get away from his hand and a good lay down by tree there is raymond's family tim fan and brother all right and he's going to race do what your bro said to do yeah he's flopped out pair so he's just check raising here trap your man you got your eights and he's gonna put it up to 750 000 to go that's one cold bowl of goulash if you ask me for the hungarian well eventually just don't know if you're sitting there with two sevens you say to yourself what the guy really called a raise before the flop with just an eight in his hand he likes to protect his mid pairs doesn't trust anyone this hungarian he's gonna make the call deuce of clubs comes off action back on raymond he's going to check and andres checks right behind him now a queen comes off again no help to either player raymond checks the two eights hey andres checks right behind him and raymond dolan is gonna take this pot down 23 year olds getting closer to taking home 1.8 million dollars will he do it we're coming back with more action here on the world poker tour stay with us tonight's episode of the world poker tour is brought to you by planewpt.com welcome back to the commerce casino in los angeles i'm vince manpaton with mike sexton four players remain advanced what a final table we've seen here at the la poker classic just terrific action a lot of bluffing a lot of maneuvering four players left as you can see raymond dolan now our chip leader with 6.2 million in chips the blinds are going up to 50 and 100 000 mike raymond the youngest player at the table his brother tim fan staked him in this event and here he is with four players left as our chip leader to the action we go govork quickly folding and tree wing ever aggressive with just ten nine just gonna call this time now it's on the young restaurant manager raymond dolan he's got a king ten youngest of ten children he's a chip leader and he just calls as well and andres with a 6'5 of clubs well andres has the suited connectors he's in the big blind nobody raised it yet so he says okay let's have a flop again we have three-way action flop comes queen six deuce andre's getting a piece of that with the sixes no action's on raymond he checks i'm just not gonna bet his sixes and tree content to see the turn card it's a deuce of spades here's the board so andre's still out in front with two pair sixes and deuces graham and dolan though with nothing going to bet he's got the king high 175 000 and he's quickly called by andres the tree is going to get out of their way down to the river we go oh well another six comes off perfect card for andres hits full house six is full raymond checks to him certainly he's gonna bet six is full yeah 375 000. now vince if you're sitting in raymond's seat you're saying you know the guy didn't bet on the flop or the queen he's so aggressive he would have better pair wouldn't they on the flop if he had one what are you trying to say you should make this call i'm trying to say that even though he just has a king high here i could see where he could think it'd be the best hand he'd like to be a hero make his brother proud but this time he's made this call it's a bad one unfortunately for him the hungarian at six is full and is going to take down this pot a little revenge there for andres he needed that well because this guy is so aggressive bench you make calls like that you know aggressive players as you know get paid off a lot more in the river when they bet than tight players do all right raymond's smarting a little bit folds his hand and now back on andrus he quickly falls as well now dr gevork with an ace 10. hold on going all in with the short stack one to beat is tree wing tree has a ace seven of clubs you know this guy's the tightest player at the table vince but still is that would have made this move with king queen or king jack suited that's a pretty big bet they have a good tent you have a good hand yes i have a pretty decent hand too doctor trying to be honest saying i have a very good hand the tree always likes to ask him what they have there's a lot of table talk if you're doubling me up best i don't want to double you up it's a problem call wow just made the call just after it made the speech he didn't want to double him up he makes a call and most likely will double him up says in front with the ace 10 against the a7 loving this that's as bad as everything's gone for govork so far at this final table all that could be amended right here if he doubles up well the flop comes king 6'4 with two clubs and gevorcus frowning because his opponent now has an ace high flush draw and a backdoor straight draw yes he has the doctor has to sweat out two cards to double up tree wing with a good flop here comes the turn card when the three of spade comes off now this gives tree more out he now has a straight draw as well he can win the pot with a five a seven or a club going to the river and dr pavroki and making his first real killing of the evening takes down that puck now for all the pain and misery he's been through one only double up makes up for it all vance so gabork sits back down we still have four players left in contention for the nearly 1.8 million dollar first place prize and that covered a wpt title well with that hand i am sorry to say but we're out of time here at the commerce casino

angeles my hometown the city of angels they call it but for some of these players i got to tell you it has not been a heavenly ride so far you can see when play at the final table began the short stack mike cameron was knocked out on a brutal beat when an ace hit on the river then it was cash game pro jc musa whose hopes were dashed as he was the next to hit the rails and just when it looked like we would lose a third player armenian govor kasabian survived and doubled up leaving four players still in the hunt to become the king of la and the life-changing money that goes along with it only one player will leave here tonight with the nearly 1.8 million first place prize and a coveted wpt title okay the stakes are high the cards are ready to be dealt so let's go watch the bluffing begin okay we started five days ago with 745 players we are now down to these four the annie's ten thousand blinds fifty and a 000 and right now it's 23-year-old restaurant manager raymond dolan he's our chip leader with 5.4 million in chips in second place as a venture capitalist out of canada tree wing he's sitting on about 3.7 million in third place a professional poker player out of hungary hondros kurokoni he's got nearly three million in chips and in fourth place local poker pro govork kasabian with about 2.8 million do the action we go tree wing first to act he looks down at a pair of kings just like that and vance has been far and away the most aggressive player at this final table even though andres has been aggressive as well 250. this time he's got the real deal he's got two kings he's going to raise it and make it 250 000 to go into raymond whose brother is poker pro tim fan very tough he has a pair of fives here well you always like to see a flop with a pair in case you flop those coveted trips so he does make the call next to act andres corrupt knight he's got ace jack came here on a lark with his friends from hungary to spend some time at the beach and play at the commerce casino little did he know he'd be going after 1.8 million hold him wow he's going all in right here the fork goes out come on tree wing says and raymond folds his hand so tree has two kings andres has ace jack tree has him covered the hungarian could be out unless he gets lucky here vance what a showdown we're seeing well the hungarian looking for a bullet here comes the flop hey spontaneous [Applause] if it comes to running spades or if the more curves are acid in another card wow tree flops three kings but is not out of jail honda's looking for a queen to make broadway and they sat straight hey oh my gosh can you believe that no no no dream must get a pair on the board otherwise andres is going to double up here unbelievable a jack would give him a split pot he needs an ace king 10 or queen to win the pot andres out front with one card to go here it comes oh oh then they won wow the three of spades comes off the hungarian gets very lucky there to take down that pot just incredible he has come back with a big suck out and right now he's our new chip waiter hungarian andres making goulash out of the tree four players are made going up to 1.8 million stay tuned we'll come back with more action here on the world poker tour welcome back to the wpt we're at the commerce casino for the la poker classic and what action we've seen so far well that's right vance on the last hand hold him come over all the money got in free flop when the flop was dealt andre saw that an ace hit but quickly realized the tree hit a set of kings hungarian's only hope was then to hit a queen to make a broadway the ace high straight tree took the beat as well as he could while the hungarians celebrated their man's victory and we still got four players left fighting it out for wpt title and close to 1.8 million the four players left average chips would be 25 each anders has 42 percent of the chips on the flip side after that tough beat tree wing is down to less than five percent of the chip fence all right the 23 year old first to act raymond dolan has a pretty good age 10 here the crowd still catching their breath over the drama of that last pot raymond makes it 225 000 to go andres also with an ace 10. he just hit lightning in the last pot the double up to win a huge pot race and he's gonna re-raise it looks like got in this tournament on a thousand dollar satellite as three out of these four remaining players did he's gonna keep the pedal to the metal no doubt about it 100 000 dr kerwork going out not really a doctor i just love saying that mike wow tree wing can't say anything right now come on in he says he's all in here a short stack he has ace queen and he has pushed well raymond goes out and andres is going to call it so once again tree has the best hand the last time he got burned with two kings this time he has ace queen against ace 10 over 1.8 million in this pot and trees tournament life on the line here let's take a look at the flop flop comes jack five deuce so far so good for tree ace queen out in front anders looking for a ten where the queen comes off but it's not over anders can catch the same man he made a minute ago a broadway and they side straight and knocked tree out of this tournament what about that back-to-back broadway to knock a man out vince and the same guy at that could it possibly be a king no a deuce comes off [Applause] the tree wing is going to be lucky there double it up he shows the same emotion here when he more than doubles up to stay alive as he did when he took that tough beat a minute ago he's just rather stoic about it all the venture capitalist not a professional player has showed us so much he is world class in many ways and he's going to survive right now back down to the felt a very tight player dr kevork 46 years old out of hollywood california is going to fold this one now it's on the maestro tree wing he also folds and raymond now picking up ace queen of hearts ray the 23 year old restaurant manager the youngest of 10 brothers and sisters one of his brothers is a world-class poker player tim fan who actually staked him in this tournament well he made it 275 000 to andres andras with a nine eight of clubs he's got the suited connectors he's got the chip lead he's got position just can't imagine he's getting away from this hand and he's not he's going to make the call very shrewd player let's see if he gets lucky on this flop what a flop for andres there he's come 976 with two spades no help at all for raymond but he's going to fire out a continuation bet with just the ace high 375 000. andres here picks up top pair and a straight draw he's got the kind of hand bench that you're going to play virtually doesn't matter what your opponent has you're not drawing dead here trees andres has announced rays and raymond is not going to like it no that's an additional 500 000 in your face raymond there's poker pro tim fan raymond's brother oh boy right now you just want to take that hat and turn it around and pull it down over your eyes don't you vince i mean you tried the continuation bet and it failed miserably here well so andres taking down that pot and vince he and his hungarian friends are just having a ball here in l.a they may come out of here millionaires stay with us we're coming back with more action from the l.a polka classic on the world poker tour winning the lapc at commerce casino in a world poker tour event propels you to a top name in the industry right away we've had antonio esfendari we've had gus hansen and a couple of years ago we had phil ivey win the championship this year drew 745 entries with a prize pool of over 7.1 million dollars with two millionaires coming from the final table it's real exciting down here at commerce casino andres he takes time with his moves i think it's very calculated [Music] i think the europeans are a lot more difficult tougher players they're more aggressive americans are more predictable welcome back to the world poker tour the la poker classic continues a total price pool of over 7 million one of these players is going to walk away with close to 1.8 million and right now andres kuroknigh he's our chip leader with 6.1 million in chips well it came to this final table as our chip leader and then he was all in up against three kings had to catch us straight to stay alive he did so once again he's the big chip leader to the table we go raymond dolan first act gets a king queen raymond of course the youngest brother the legendary tim fan in the poker world this time younger brother raymond with king queen just calling but andres picking up a pair of fours you always like to see flops with small pairs in hopes that you flop trips not gonna raise just calling as well go forward with an a6 of clubs in position at the a6 of clubs gets to see a pretty cheap flop so he's gonna make a call and tree wing well he's got the eight five of diamonds he's been the wild card here tonight showing amazing guts but here he says okay let's have a flop so we've got four-way action with four players left something you don't see that often well here comes the flop 983 and tree got a piece of that pair of eights everybody else nothing well axer's on divorce he checks the ace high three checks the pair of eights raymond checking and the hungarian checking as well we're going to the turn so we're having a little check fest here right now 10 of spade comes on the turn no help to anybody yeah kevorking a check again the tree with the eighth checking well raymond does have a gut shot straight drawing he's betting vents 200 000 here yep see some weakness gonna try to take advantage of it and andres going out kovork going out tree finds the termites in the tree he goes away there you go ironically raymond had the worst hand out of the four yet because he bet he won that pot it shows you how powerful aggression is in no longer hold him right back at him go walk now with a big hand ace king first to act and he's gonna because he plays so few pots vince they all give him respect for having a big hand just like this one when he does come into a pot tree wing out raymond asics even consider it only one player to beat and that is andrus the chip leader as he looks over kevork well he hates to give up anything but it's especially one of his blinds but against this particular guy who they all deem the tightest player at the table he opts the cold and give it up good god right now gabor's son alan in the stands honestly my father i think he's a great player because he always thinks about what he does he's going to play his game even if he does lose he knows he gave it all there is a little gamble in it but i don't believe in luck i don't think it's luck i think it's all strategy and it's timing it's the long run you know it's not gonna end today he's gonna be back for more all right back to the money pit raymond dolan throws away a ten deuce hungarian beach boy andres with a six seven also folding a little surprising he plays most everything but off to give that hand up and maybe wisely so as gravorp picks up ace 10 out of the small blind and just limps and vince does not raise with the ace-10 there you gonna give tree a free flop here tree only has a king deuce they both square off look at each other here and a king comes right on the flop so just like that orc has the gut shot straight draw the fork has checked but tree has the best hand with two kings and tree betting a hundred thousand forks not going anywhere forks here i'm tired of getting pushed around i don't believe you another king comes off this makes three of a kind for tree kvork again checks trey contemplating what to do look at this fence he's checking to camouflage the fact that he has three kings down to the river we go no help but the nine of spades but is dr kevork gonna take a shot at this with a bet check no he slows down and checks certainly tree's going to bed now with three kings 275. he's going to bet 275 thousand divorce can only be the stone bluff right now all he has is ace high but he's actually considering this perhaps because he's so tired of getting pushed around he's going to make the call yeah his timing couldn't be worse here vance he ran into three kings right there and in my view he bungled that hand from the get-go by not raising with the ace-10 out of the small blind he lost control of the hand he was putting a guess at the end he guessed wrong it cost him tree extends his branches even bigger here on the world poker tour we'll come about with more action stay with us [Music] tonight's episode of the world poker tour is brought to you by planewpt.com being related to a professional poker player and you know seeing him play poker and his friends play poker that helped that helped a lot tim he gives me a lot of advice when he was on the rail when i messed up on hands he was there to show me how to play the hand better without him i'll probably still be probably a basic player he showed me some advanced poker that i incorporate into my way [Applause] welcome back to the world foca tour where the annie's are going to the 20 000 blind 60 and 120. you saw a little brotherly love from raymond dolan there his older brother tim fan of course a world-class all-around poker player they have different last names because they have different fathers so events that tells me that mom's got the poker jeans all right actually going to gevork a quick fold by him tree wing also going out now raymond dolan with a king seven well i know that's a mathematical favorite two card hand over a random two card hand so he is going to raise it here 260 000 to go with the hungarian andrus with a king four and sometimes when you raise with those hands that are mathematically slight favorites over random hands you gotta recognize who you're up against in this case that the chip leader who likes to defend his blinds certainly does and he's not going anywhere well he calls with the king four so right now raymond in good shape it's king seven against king four let's see what happens well it comes a7 deuce raymond getting the sevens there nothing hitting for andres he's got middle pair with great kicker yup he's first to act he's getting chips out and he's going to bet 340 000 here into andres who got none of that no but he is a stubborn european he just doesn't like to give up hands that's unbelievable he's got no hand to no draw here you see he's very good at riffling chips but i'm amazed he's counting out 340 000 here he's making the call here with nothing yeah nothing but imagination and sometimes that can get you in trouble let's see maybe he'll try to steal the pot on the next card three of diamonds vance's problem is he doesn't get to act first so it's hard to steal the pot if your opponent bets in front of you that's true if you guys you just want to come right over the top of it and that card does give anderson straight draw five would give him a wheel but in the meantime action back on raymond i raised before the floppy got called he bet on the flop he got called will he fire yet again what would big brother tim do here well he is going to bet and a healthy bed at that 560 000 just apply more and more pressure to the hungarian but he is capable of doing anything this undress various dude player great reader of players once i got news for you became over the top right now a very difficult call for raymond have to make but luckily for raymond that didn't happen andre finally folds his hand and raymond picks up a nice little pot yeah enough is enough for the hungarian and we move on actually going to tree wing he has been so impressive and he has an ace nine this time he's from canada not a professional player yeah he's shown a lot of imagination made some phenomenal calls so this guy is doing it pretty good here tonight 250. well he makes it 250 000 to go with his ace 9. raymond dolan gets out of the way and now andres with an uneventful six seven not even suited well don't count him out with this hand he is going to lay it down though finally now govork though with an a7 has just been watching all these other guys play all these pots raising back and forth bluffing doing a lot of things he's just been trying to catch a big hand hasn't been able to do it finally gets an a7 is going to make a call with it all right so ace nine versus a7 look at this aces and nines here for tree look abort checks two aces yep and she could be getting a little trouble here with this hand he called with the a7 off suit he's flopped top pair unfortunately for him his opponent has flopped the top two pair three just like that tree hollers out three hundred thousand and here's the beauty of making all those moves early because when you make so many moves your opponents just finally don't believe you every time you bet that may be the case here and if it is the vork could be heading toward whitewater oh the walk says raised this is not gonna be good for him this is very dangerous he's gonna have to hit two running cards to win this pot whether it's two cars to make a straight or two running sevens this is a slow train wreck before our very eyes put more chips out there come on in and tree going back over the top all in now is there any way you don't call this mike but in my view the vork should recognize just what the sound of his voice there that he's got a hand he's not on a draw here meaning you could easily get away from the a7 that was king did your hand get caught in a cookie jar oh did you just make a move on me there interesting talk um you have said i said he's going to the old mike sexton cookie jar line well vance said he started playing poker after watching the wpt on tv that proves to me that he does watch us the longer you take the better i feel so go ahead well he's right about that he's daring all kinds of table talk you've got to love this there's a quandary look how confident tree sounds i think as a player you should pick up on that and this would be an easy get away here with this hand i believe hey it's not good how big is your ace hey i know you have an ace i'm just asked like how big is it yeah look how confident seems he doesn't care if he has an ace i should put the caution light on right there are you called oh wow devork has made the call and he is not going to like it maybe all that table talk got him a call but as it is govorkin dire straits gonna have to catch two running cars to win this pot whether it's seven seven or two cars to make it straight the vork family on the rail very frustrated by the whole evening dr gavor could be out of here he needs to get real lucky i mean if it comes eight eight they would split the pot but right now things looking very dim well there's a seven so it's not over yet another work second is that no but he got lightning there he has one more seven he's going to win this pot could have possibly come seven seven to win this pot he's i eat this paper if he hits a seven that's all there is to it oh wow well the nine comes off so one of them made the full house put the cabor it was the wrong one so tree wind picks up that pot the fork is gonna be our fourth place finisher vince yeah fun to watch him play what a grinder gevork is gonna pick up 450 000 for his effort here in los angeles and that's gonna do it from the guy from hollywood california went down to three players stay with us we'll come back with more action on the world poker tour it would be an amazing feeling to win the wpt because the world's best play in these tournaments it never came into my mind that i could walk away after today with 1.8 million it was just all fun and games now we're playing for some serious money this is a once in a lifetime situation i'm enjoying the moment not taking it for granted and i wanted that welcome back to the world poker tour we are down to three players at the la poker classic well the crowd buzzing right now as we just lost another player and these three players left are very close in chips well they sure are our chip leaders alone american raymond dolan he's got a little over 5.2 million in chips in second place andres kuroganai from hungary with about five million and in third place tree wing from canada with about 4.6 million and the play goes to andres from hungary first to act he's got a queen six of diamonds the lucky player that came out here for a little vacation in the sun on the beach of redondo beach with his buddies took a shot of this tournament and now could become a millionaire well we've already seen how aggressive he is he is not slowing down just because we're down to three players he raised it here to 260 000 for the queen six tree wing he's got a pretty solid ace 10. well he knows andres is a very aggressive player could raise with any two cards as he's done here so what do you do with ace 10 720 tree's going to bump it up to 720 well that's a healthy raised vents nearly a half million dollar re-raise here next to the line raymond dolan oh look at this vince whoa liberally has picked up two kings he's the current ship leader the pot's been raised and re-raised in front of him you gotta love it two million well he's gonna bet two million he's not gonna fool around either he's pulling out the heavy artillery andres losing interest mux's hand and i can assure you the tree is not going to like it here not at all this is a chainsaw to the old tree right here and he's going to fold well indeed he does so raymond dolan extends his chip lead and that's what's incredible to me is that the three remaining players are playing in their first ever wpt event that is unbelievable something i don't think we've ever seen happen before certainly in the last couple seasons on the world poker tour it just shows you folks that anybody who gets an opportunity to play in a wpt event can do it these three guys are fighting for the title boy this is what happens in your first tournament you are hooked for life that's all there is to it you're a lifer all right actually going back to raymond picked up king's last hand a six of hearts this time he's going to raise it to 300 000 i know i'm just behind him with an ace check every time he's had that ace jack he's raised it i don't care who's bet in front of him or what they've done he's going to be consistent he's raising it here too yeah looks like a total of 775 000 trees got the 7-eleven hand he gets out yep so we're back to raymond and the chip leader got him covered by about 1.7 million just doesn't trust his hungarian whatsoever he's going to make the call here with the a6 of heart so big pot brewing here over 1.7 million in the pot right now here's the flop oh flop comes ace queen deuce both players have flopped a pair of aces andrus of course has way the bigger kicker and is in great shape now we've been staring him down see if it does him any good if he can read this man certainly anders going to make a continuation bet here 875 000. be very careful raymond now vince you call a rage before the flop you hit top hair tough to get away from it especially against a guy like this who could bet on any two cards like he does a lot of the time race and he's going to raise it i'm going to test the water right here test the quicksand you mean well i don't blame him 10 million he's going to make a 2 million straight oh this could get ugly very fast well he's going all in here you got me beat you got me beat i'm pushing it how much more it's about 1.7 million more which is a lot right now at this stage of the game recognize how much money jumps from one place to the next from here out going from third to second is well over three hundred thousand and going from third to first is 1.1 million but you've already put in close to 2.8 million well vance virtually all you can beat here is a flush draw or a bluff no doubt about that and the problem is even if he's got a flush draw you're not that big a favorite so raymond is feeling the pressure right now as to what to do he does know this guy's capable of anything but he's got to be saying to himself you know will this guy commit all his chips with a third raise with absolutely nothing into the chip leader i wouldn't think so but then again we've seen how aggressive he plays and i call raymond's gonna make the call with the two aces he's not gonna like it when anders turns up his hand well there you see the grimace look on raymond's face a massive pot of over nine million here [Applause] and raymond's gonna have to get very lucky to win it and have to catch a six to win it a deuce would give him a split pot right now but he is up against it well the ace comes on the turn so both players have three aces a pretty good car for raymond in that he can tie the hand with a king queen or a deuce he can win the hand with a six he'd love a tie right now everybody holding their breath it's all coming down to this card right now a 10 comes off so andreas has won the biggest pot of the night so far a monster pot of over 9 million one step closer to that 1.8 million stay with us we're coming back with more action here on the world polka tour [Music] welcome back to the world poker tour three players remain at the commerce casino right now we have a hungarian we have a canadian and we have an american and they all walk into a bar no no they all are playing here at the final table mike and what a contest this is yeah the american raymond dolan a minute ago had a big chip lead here now he just doubled up the hungarian he is now in a distant third place let's see if he can fight back to get back in this thing down to the table we go action on tree wing tree with the button has an ace deuce 250. and he's going to make it 250 000 to go 32 year old venture capitalist out of vancouver canada raymond foles is jack eight but look at andres picks up a pair of ladies just like that hundreds of poker pro out of hungary says he likes to play aggressive like all the great europeans do raise he says raise how much can you milk from the tree he's going to make it 700 000 to go now action's on tree here he's going to lay his hand down he shows him an ace sure so anders takes down yet another pot the guy that came out here to run a beach house in l.a and the funny thing is uh when i ran a beach house i get my wallet stolen these guys wins tournaments the whole uh hungarian poker community is rooting for him uh he would be really quite famous there so yeah it's a big deal he's lose aggressive he likes to put the pressure on the opponent and uh yeah he isn't waiting for premiums all the time or stuff like that so i guess he has a good shot to win and that's the guy we just saw in that interview anderson's buddy peter he came in 46th place in this tournament himself he cashed out 28 000. seems like a mere pittance compared to what andres is going to cash out though well this time i'm just picking a queen 10. he's first to act he has the button and he says all in i'm going to power through this oh wow tree with an ace three he's got the best hand but he's not gonna gamble here with it will raymond dolan with a queen eight no so power poker there by the hungarian taking down another pot well it's tree and raymond up against the hungarian can they slow him down we will find out when we return on the world poker tour tonight's episode of the world poker tour is brought to you by planewpt.com [Applause] [Music] welcome back to the wpt we're at the commerce casino three-handed poker you can see the chip counts there andres karoup now from hungary

cannot compete with his nine deuce so the chip leader applying a lot of pressure and it's going to work power poker at its finest by the hungarian now he's got the chips and he's going to step on these guys yeah knows how to play good short-handed poker action going right back at him he's got a queen three but this time i'm gonna take a breather give the other guys a chance for a second all in tree wing with a queen nine says all in he's gonna try the all-in play magic words it's gonna work raymond goes away so a tree learning from andres here he said look he went all in on me and won the pot i'm gonna try it here on my guy that's in the big blind tree wing 32 years old born in vietnam moved to canada when he was five very successful businessman and an incredible poker player takes a look at his hand pair of jacks just like that nice hand gonna cap his card let's see what he's gonna bet he's taking his time here trying to figure out how much to bet he's got twice as many chips as the third place guy right now huge difference in prize money 1.1 million between third place and first 400 he's come in for 400 000. okay raymond from fountain valley california no he'll fold an a7 oh and look at this andres has picked up ace king he's got big slick we could see big fireworks here between the two chip leaders 2.5 million all right i'll be shocked if he didn't move all in here well that's what he's gonna do he says all in and this is almost auto call i don't think and yes he eventually has to do it where he calls but does it with a little concern vance he understands if he loses his pot he's out of here in third place big difference between second place prize money in third as well as first and third obviously but right now we've got a classic coin flip a race situation folks how would you like to flip a coin for 1.1 million dollars that's essentially what these guys could be doing right now all right it's a big opportunity for raymond the tree should happen to get eliminated raymond would slip into second place who is lady luck going to shine on this time whether it be the businessman or the [Applause] hungarian and right now the tree must catch a jack or he's going to be eliminated in third place the chainsaw is out it is halfway down they're cutting the tree forestry coming up let's take a look at nine comes off so we are down to the river if the tree doesn't catch a jack on the river his tree is going to be chopped down and he'll be out of here in third place oh boy the tree stands for one last try he needs to get lucky here comes the river at the ten wow timber the hungarian guy is giving their man a hug but notice that raymond dolan's fans are hugging him as well he's become a millionaire too tough luck for tree the tree has finally fallen 665 000 richer but that's gonna do it for him two players remain going after a title stay tuned we'll come back with the action in just a moment here on the world folk a tour welcome back to the world poker tour here we go the heads up actually about to begin well during the break we had a chance to speak with raymond and andres here's what they had to say i'm feeling all right i mean a little short so you know i just got to pray i mean it's going to be tough i just got to pick a hand and hope my hand stands up over his well when we get down to heads up play on the world poker tour you know what that means show us the [Applause] money [Applause] you see the custom trophy both of these guys are going to become poker made millionaires tonight whatever happens about to get started our chip leader andreas corrupt eye out and forward 13.5 million he has 90 of the chips yeah the hungarian well out front raymond dolan of the us with 1.4 million in chips they both got game a few double ups who knows what's going to happen let's go down to the felt advance we know how quickly things can turn around playing heads up no limit hold them if for example raymond won three pots and row he'd be the big chip leader action going to andres he's got a queen eight of hearts hold him and he's got a power punch he says all in has a queen four off suit i call whoa he's made the call i'm shocked by this let me know he's got 1.4 million in chips i don't think it's necessary to move all in or make a call with that ambulance it's one thing to move in with it it's another to call with it well the blinds are only 75 150. so possibly a mistake who knows maybe he'll get lucky but he's gonna have to get lucky to stay alive no doubt about that oh no hungarian all excited he knows this could do it right here if his hand holds up he has his queen eight up against queen four for raymond everybody on their feet here at the commerce casino this tournament could be over in one hand a four right deal but wow what a flop raymond is [ __ ] fair forward but a andres first draw unbelievable what drama we're seeing here at this final table here comes the turn card the straight cholesterol for andres he's got to have help to win this pot and in this tournament right now [Applause] [Music] well seven comes off that now gives him an open end straight draw as well so a six would win a hardwood win and they would win and jack would win so many cars to win it for andres here we go to the river who's going to get lucky [Applause] the money oh man we've seen some wild celebrations on the world poker tour but this is one of the best oh you got to love them rooting for their man there you go oh we got a champion it is andres from hungary [Applause] pretty honest guys my hand's so big i have

welcome to the world poker tour and mike here we go again we are back at the colossal commerce casino in hollywood my hometown to see the titans of the entertainment field clash against the best poker players in the world and out of those 567 players and posers we're down to the remaining six and what a final six we've got tonight there are four unknown players at this table including a boxer from west virginia leron washington who qualified by winning an online satellite for less than 20 dollars now in seat number three is trishelle canatella now she rose to fame on mtv's the real world las vegas don't be fooled by her looks she's a poker player she's very dangerous well the most dangerous player at the table is thor hansen of norway he's got two wsop bracelets to his credit as well as tournament wins around the world well this guy is like the godfather of norwegian poker the scandinavian doyle brunson playoffs thor is by far the most experienced player at the table and i'm picking him to win but as we know everyone still got a shot at that hundred thousand dollar first place prize the question is who's going to take the title i don't know we don't know you don't know but we want to find out let's go watch the bluffing okay here we go the final table of the wpt invitational about to get underway we started two days ago with 567 players we are down to these final six the andes are going to be 10 000 blinds 30 and 60 000 when we start well there you see the percentages of chips that each player has if it has green next to their name means they have above average and chips if you have a redneck your name means you're below average in chips but you know what's interesting this is really a six-way race everybody about the same amount of starting chips 14 to 20 of the chips it truly is anybody's game who's going to walk away with this wpt title let's go to the felt it's to the outdoor furniture entrepreneur neve barum he looks down today 10 eight of clubs and he's gonna fold it actions on our club wpt qualifier leron washington got in this tournament by beating 2400 players online to get this seat he just folded that hand and now it's steve elliott steve owns and operates a construction company father of three got a suited connector six five he's raised it to 120 to go well he is gambling tonight already godfather out the lady at the table also folding and now shawn urban the navy man maybe officer for 10 years he lays it down so aggressive play by steve elliott takes down pot number one that's right the local the general contractor there's some of steve's friends in the audience and he got into this tournament because he won a seat into the la poker classic right here at the commerce casino so that won a seat in this event as well all right action on this hand goes to reality star trishelle canatella she quickly mucks a suited connector oh wow shawn urban picking up aces oh boy anchors away here vince he's going to raise it makes it 150 000 to go outdoor furniture entrepreneur quickly folded now the boxer laurent washington doesn't have much of a hand he pulls that punch goes out around again to steve elliott well he win the first pot with the 6'5 connector here's got the queen 10 of clubs he's going to make the call here yep the ace is going to get action thor going out so two-way action here it's aces for the navy man queen tennis clubs for the construction and it just gets better and better ace is full on the flop how do you like that unbelievable you just pinch yourself especially when your opponent's leading out and betting at you just like the guy's doing here steve bets out 200 000. sean of course just going to make the okie dokie call here i like that nicely done just calls got his guy on the ropes this could be a bloodbath let's see the turn card made a spade comes off now this does give stephen two-way straight draw of course we know he's drawn completely dead there's 350 000 more that's going in the garbage can zip and pip he's bet again decisions decisions now the navy man put on your shakespeare shoes my friend i'm willing no he says all in he's gonna chase his opponent away it looks like a massive oval bet in my view here so shawn urban with the all-in bet there takes down that pop but that's over aggressive play with aces full why not just sit back and let the other guy continue to be that is a misfired missile by the navy man and what do we know we played this event and we got knocked down oh boy good point man and he's our chip leader on the first day of the wpt invitational i sat next to mike sexton and for me to be playing in his tournament you know at the table with the host of the wpt was was great because i asked myself what if he actually wins who's gonna take his chair in the booth right but uh of course he didn't win i'm not like he's a bad player but of course he was just having fun and it was great to be with him and he was just great great guy we are coming back for more on the world poker tour stay with us from day one of this event the wpt's kara scott has been following all the action well not only have i been watching all of the action here tonight but i also got to walk the red carpet and mingle at the party and i did hear one or two bad beat stories as well as the stars of hollywood came out to battle the stars of the poker world just love playing in this event it's amazing it's just like kind of a party environment so i've had a lot of fun it's like one proper table at least one celebrity per table and one idiot jerk but after all the fun was had the most important thing that happened was that we raised a hundred thousand dollars for chrysalis a non-profit organization that helped the poor and homeless by finding them jobs um we're really excited to present a check for over a hundred thousand dollars to the chrysalis foundation [Applause] back to you guys and it's so great to have kara scott with us tonight yes it is but it showed me that even if you're not well known you say woo world polkadot you get on film well you got a good point there events no doubt about it but what a night this is for the actors that come out and play this event as well as for the top pros and the amateur have qualified to get in here and we've got a couple of those at this table you're looking at one of them right there and steve elliott can't you know a contractor thor going out trishelle also not playing back to the navy man shawn urban yep he's got ace 10 and he is going to raise makes it 150 to go standard play on the button neve out and now around to the boxer he's got a pretty good queen 10. lebron washington called the dream lives in huntington west virginia i think he'd probably squash a walnut in his arm seriously you could probably crush a walnut just can you imagine that left jab coming at you this guy lands a race and he's going to raise ethan made it 450 000 to go but the navy man does have ace 10. well the question is do you want to mess with the boxer vince do you want to aggravate this guy he's going to lay it down so there you go a beautiful uppercut by the boxer there takes down the pot for him here's the run vincent what a story about them he beat 2 400 players in an online satellite to get an entry into this tournament and when he was playing the tournament his wife went to bed in the wee hours the morning went in honey wake up we're going to l.a all right action on trachelle canatella so far has been tighter than cher's forehead she goes away urban also going out neve barum also folding so it's around to leron and just has nate deuce here gonna lay it down and steve elliott the construction company owner looks down at a pair of tens just calling let's take a free one and four with a queen six content to see a flop well here comes that flop well ten seven five unbelievable top set for steve elliott and he quickly checks he's going to try to make thor bet and thor is going to bite 85 000 well vance thor's old school that means when they were checking i'm a bet and unfortunately for thor he's betting here strong dead yeah but steve just calling not going to shake up his opponent and he gets quads on the turn gets better and better it checks again notice what he's doing here he is walking the dog much better than we saw the navy man do it when he had aces full he is just checking and letting thor continue to bet and unfortunately for thor he's doing just that no way he can win the pot just no matter what he's going to lose and now he's just gonna think of himself how do i milk this norwegian for everything he is worth oh boy i'll tell you thor hansen long time pro player the only real pro at this final table but right now the pro and dire straights he just calls him he's milking them nicely marching with two left feet here river card coming up well three of clubs comes off now what do you do if you're steve you know because you've been checking and calling it looks like you've got some type of drawing and maybe like an eight nine here now maybe if he thinks he comes out with a small bed here the thor come over the top of him for the rest of his chips i'm not gonna put him on three tens let alone four tens here the way this hand was played i think that's a hundred and seventy five thousand yeah the gig's up that would be jig but okay a little less oh that's bluffing that's here so he has pulled the hand in the meantime steve showing everybody he had quads he has a pretty good hand though god's father a norwegian poker can't blame him from trying six players remain we'll come back with more action from los angeles here on the world poker tour tonight's episode of the world poker tour is brought to you by planewpt.com james tell me what superpower would best help you as a poker player wow x-ray vision reading minds um turning into a hot chick for like two minutes distract them creating my own cars i'm gonna go on and on you know welcome back to the world poker tour [Music] james had it right and the first thing he said x-ray vision that's all you need to become a winning poker player you didn't like that turning into a hot chick thing huh i like the x-ray vision better as you can see the navy man shawn urban is our chip leader here tonight with 2.7 million we have six players remaining let's go to the money pitch more well he's our chip leader he looks down at the four or five of diamonds he's under the gun as we say in first position yet he's still going to raise it 150 000 to go this is the kind of plays you can make when you're chip leader leave out uneventful queen seven of hearts won't play that okay around to steve elliot he looks down at seven five off suit and folds godfather thor is out around trishell in the big blind and look at this vince she's picked up two kings she is loving it she is re-raising it 360 000 into the little suited connector and don't forget about her image at the table she is tight i mean stevie wonder sees more hands than she does and she's made a nice raise here well it's another 210 000 for sean to make this call but he's gonna do advance he's got position he's got the chip lead i only get to see some cards to her delight look at that smile when the smile evaporates will that flop because an ace has come on the board invariably seems like when you have kings and raise it that's what happens but her opponent could also have queens or jackson have her beat so you can tell by just looking at her she is not happy with that flop at all she's in a quandary now she's sick and that an ace appeared there when you got kings now will she fire okay no no she's gonna check man it's just fearful he's got an ace in his hand the heavy guy got nothing though now he's thinking about should i pull off a fast one here chuck but no he's gonna check again a seven of clubs on the turn again she's in that position well vince because she re-raised the pot he's putting her on big cars just a matter of which ones they are check she checks twice pretty obviously she's got kings or tens here sure again he checks right behind her now the fourth spade comes off well she's going to go for the hat trick and checks to you and indeed check check check to him shawn's made a pair of fours but i'm sure that he feels like she's got two kings two tens two nines something like that where he's dead meat i believe as long as he's taken he hasn't been on the flop or the turn that she's gonna pay him off with two kings if he decides to make a move now she's gonna start to feel comfortable now the more time he takes but he still would be content at this point just to hear a nice check come out of his mouth so she gets that word well she's gonna take down this pot and a nice pot it is over 800 000 nicely done by the reality tv stuff standing by right now is cara scott i'm here with professional poker player tiffany michelle now tell me who you're here railing today well of course trishelle is my girl so i'm here what did you tell her before she came into the final table um she's playing fairly tight and all that i said was don't be afraid when you have a hand to play it because that's the thing you get in the table you get under the lights and you get nervous so i just said once you're there just do your thing people don't give her credit cause she's so sweet she has a blonde thing going on but she's a smart girl so i mean she might wink at you she may throw that smile out there and it works she i mean she made it through a field of like over 500 people so i have no advice for her because she's doing fine enough on her own i think you're absolutely right and i know you want to get back in the rail so thank you very much well that stephanie makes a good point maybe next time you play you should try the blonde wig and the little cut dress been they've done that all right action goes to neve barum and he quickly folds and now leron washington very tough boxer quickly folds his junk hand yeah what a steve elliot here he's got a pair of threes yeah i'm just gonna limp in and make the call for out over to trishell she's in a small blind looks down at an ace eight it cost her half a bet to call and she does so and shawn urban the navy guy with king seven content to see a flop well here we go our first three-way action part here yes it is we're going to see the flop who will get lucky out of these three well flop comes nine eight five so as the cards lie trish out in front with the two eights yep lady luck she's going to lead out in bed here yep 180 000 the navy man he's got the gut shot straight draw six would give him straight but nope he's electing a fold now around to the construction company man steve elliott yeah it's just got the pair of threes a 43 year old father of three but has an underpair that's a very peculiar call by him with two threes against a tight player with that flop all right the six of hearts on the turn now this gives trishell an ace high flush draw a check but she is afraid that her opponent might have made it straight so she's gonna check and quickly without hesitation steve elliott fires out there a couple hundred thousand yep wow two eights don't look so good anymore well the straights out there all you have to do is have a seven nothing then she asked him if he had a seven of course he's remaining that statuesque like not saying anything to her he made a quick powerful bet there very intimidating but you see the concerned look on trachelle's face she's got the eights she's got the cinch flush straw well here's the problem even if you make this call and even if you hit your flush vents if you bend out at the river chances are you're not gonna get paid off okay she's made the call so here we go our biggest pot of the night so far deuces spade on the river again it's on to her she's checking again steve gives up he waves the flag and checks right behind her she's going to win this pot with two eights and be thrilled about advance [Applause] the perfume at the table takes down a big one stay with the sixth player remain at the commerce casino we're coming back for more on the world poker tour nice call too i know for a fact people think that i'm the dumb celebrity at the table yeah people think i'm [ __ ] and i know that people think i'm dumb as ross and i laugh at it because like what are you gonna do i mean people can think what they want i'll just show them you know obviously i'm at the final table i'm here [Music] uh it's a lot of thor hansen's in norway

barum furniture man entrepreneur king eight he laughed at that hand it's not the kind of hand you want to call a solid player with that's for sure now leron washington who has just a queen three well iran is in the big blind meaning he's got 80 000 out there but still would you want to put another 110 000 in with a queen three off suit he's made the call he does make the call because there's 370 000 in the pod so far nothing's going right for thor hanson the top pro at this table and he is really getting thin in chips now flop comes 10-9-7 with two hearts thor swapped an open end straight draw on his chest i got nothing left and look at this kamikaze time for thor and he's just moving all in but it's not fooling around with it he's gonna try to win it right here i can't imagine the boxer's going to play this hand lebron goes out so thor hanson going to take down his first plot at this final table thor very popular nancy is so highly respected by poker pros everybody want a puck never gets wrapped at the table never gets upset just very amicable very well liked and a very tough player yes he is and he showed it right there with a nice play the next hand we go as you can see sean irvin still out in front with close to 2.7 million in chips four players now have above average chips steve elliott hanging in there by dental floss he is a short stack at this point steve bella can barely get around one time in terms of blinds and annie's without being out of chips all right a quick full by thor trichelle not going to play shawn urban with an attractive ace jack offsuit well he's the navy man he's going to raise it makes it 200 000 to go into the furniture guy he has a7 let me pull the trigger here he's just got an a7 finally lexifold yeah makes the good laydown now lebron was just a 7-4 he's going to go out as well so round to the big blind and steve elliott got a king five he's only got about 170 000 left there's 380 000 in the pot but no he's not gonna play i think most pros would have just gone ahead and gamble with that king i have to get lucky and win the pot get some chips but the navy man is gonna up his chipley a little bit here by taking down the blinds and annie's he's played three wpt tournaments lifetime first wpt cash he's a chip leader right now the action's going to the lady at the table first trishelle canatella the reality star quickly folds the navy man he's out as well now finally in position to raise 175. he makes it 255 to go lauren now with an a7 and the button no he will not play steve elliott will call though with his king queen well here we go steve elliott seat number one goes all in thor is going to go out steve is loving it he has a dominating hand as we say it's king queen versus king 10. so neve going to have to get very lucky to win this pot and eliminate steve elliott from this tournament let's see if he can do it and a nice flop as it comes jack jack eight king queen still out in front and now a queen comes on the turn give me a nine or an ace baby now that does give neve an open end straight draw an ace or nine would give him a straight but steve still out in front will he hang on the ace comes off vance neve has done it unbelievable he hit broadway on the river to win this pot and that's going to do it for steve elliot he's going to be our sixth place that's an finisher beat on the river for steve so tough luck for the construction company man advance right now it's back to the two by four oh wow that was all you buddy that was it you had that we're down to five players at the commerce casino stay tuned we're coming back with more action here on the wpt [Music] [Applause] [Music] i'm here with hank who's busted unfortunate but give me fun not like in life no no not life busted no no not money yeah i mean let's just make that really clear right now yeah yeah i'm okay he's liquid right yeah yeah no he's fine he's doing fine welcome back to the world poker tour that's the very talented hank azaria a fine actor and also a very good poker player real good vance he'd be sitting here at this table not necessarily but let's take a look at the five here sean urban he's out in front with close to 2.9 million in chips let's go to the felt as these players go after a wpt title an absolute dream sean a former lieutenant united states navy was in the navy for 10 years a physics major at ole miss and right now a pressure major as we say in the poker world he's putting pressure on his opponents with the chip lead raising an early position with the jack 10. antonia it's a friendly game brother who goes out lauren washington the boxer also folding top pro thor hanson out as well so around to the beauty queen at the table loves saying that name has an ace jack puts in a raise of 280 in addition and what a great time it was to make this move as she has her opponent dominated yeah sean a good one to re-raise because he's been the most aggressive player at this table by far so if you're going to come over the top of somebody you'd like to come over the top of a guy playing a lot of pots and shawn does give it up so a nice re-raise by trishell right there to take down that pot another girlhouse game nicely done she really wants to prove that she has a great poker game she's been pretty tough here tonight so far that's with that pot she has taken the chip lead at this final table all right mighty thor goes out back on trishelle she fold the jack ten now the navy man going to take a break here so now we're down to the battle of the blinds neve looks down at the 7-6 he's in a small blind so he's going to make the call and the boxer with an uneventful 8-3 well about the worst hand you can pick up to start with but you're still happy if you can see a free flop with it and that's the case here he says give us a flop so a couple junk hands flop is nine five deuce dave checks the gut shot straight troll and lauren making a move here vince 175. he's going to bet right out 175 000 with absolute zip and pip yep the total garfunkel as we say i call what is this a call by the inside straight draw yeah now the board pairs nines helps neither player first to act is neve 250. he's going to try to take this pot away he's making a bet he's betting 250 000 here vance a race laurent is going to raise with absolutely nothing man that's amazing 600 well it's a great poker plan i'll tell you why because if his opponent would have had top pair he'd check raise him on the flop or bet on the flop so he doesn't put him on a nine that's why he's trying to take the pot away from him right here nice hand buddy wow the boxer is gonna cold cold cockney right there taking down this pot our club wpt qualifier lerod washington and this man put up 20 a beat out of field of 2400 players and here he is living his dream of capturing a wpt title as well as that hundred thousand dollar first place prize as five players remain action going to trishelle canatella reality star and she's our chip leader as we just mentioned she's got the motown hand jack in front and the bucks are discussing the last hand apparently well neve made a great stab at the pot but just got outplayed by the boxer yeah thor saying i'm all in i'm detecting weakness when you're on the short stack and you've got a pair your opponent limped in obviously you're just going to move in with it this time next time thor did that he's going to take down this pie i didn't want to he needs to pick up some parts now man [Applause] the one thing about thor hanson he knows how to play the short stack he's had boku tournament experience in his lifetime over 2.7 million in earnings okay next 10 has been dealt and sean has been dealt a pair of sevens same hand thor just went on i'm different here though he's under the gun and he's going to raise it to 200 000. behind him though with a pair of sixes little does he know what bad shape he's in here i call him he's gonna make the call though mr washington with the button next to act and he's got the 1080 diamonds and you'd like to see a flop with but you've got a razor and a collar in front of you do you want to get involved now he is in position he's on the button but just doesn't want to put 200 000 in there yeah norwegian godfather out as is trishelle so a two-way battle for this part oh and what a flop it's come seven five deuce sean checks the top set here vince if you're sitting in a nev's seat with two sixes chances are you're going to bed here i would bet in this spot when the opponent checks 300 you're assuming the guy raised before the flop he's got two big cards here so your two sixes are the best hand yeah because 300 000. little does he know he's got to hit two running cards in a row to win this pot two cards to make a straight or two more sixes now the question is do you just rope a dope here i'm on it when he went all in he's check raised all in here and you can see me does not like that [Applause] sean doesn't want to take a chance he pushed again with top set now neve trying to figure out this hand he said the guy raised before the floppy check raised me on the flop does he have the over pair is he just making a move or does he have some type of draw the truth is eve is in dire straits would have to catch two running cars to win this punt if he makes the wrong move here he'll be walking back out of here and the furniture man has the lawn chair
