Kleins bluff on Galfond should be top 3, arguably #1 since it was an amateur bluffing a great pro for like $200,000. Show me another hand where an amateur bluffs a pro successfully for even 100k.

Woooow ! You are indeed right, sir !

Just rewatched this one - you're right great hand.

Patrick call against Laak with just a pair of fours def in the top 5.

lool

#1 was Ivey's fold.

If I was in Iveys shoes I wouldnt think Brad would be bluffing in that spot

7) 13:48 Benyamine vs Negreanu vs Brunson

It wasnt a "Brilliant" move by Benyamine, just a "im value raising my flush cause i think its good" not a "im gonna make the best hand fold and the worst hand calls"

Negreanu overthinks too much



I think you underestimate the level of thinking these guys are playing at sometimes and I think Benyamine is without doubt capable of having that in his thought process

Well he may be capable of doing this, but I´m 100 % confident he wasn´t even involved in the hand. From what I remember, it was Farha vs Negreanu vs Brunson. Farha flopped trips, flop went c/c/c, turn gave Negreanu the nut flush draw on a paired board, Farha bets, Negreanu calls, Brunson calls with top pair. River brings 4 of a suit. Farha checks, Negreanu checks (LOLOLOLOL), Brunson turns his hand into a bluff by betting. Farha obviously folds. Negreanu thinks he´s this huge superstar/psyche poker player and folds as well.

I mean Negreanu gets all this **** for being a pay off wizard, but I really don´t think he could have played that hand any worse.

Edit: Only just realized that Farha bet 10k into a 5600 Pot on the turn. Welcome to Poker in 2006 lol.

^you are talking of an entirely different hand, with the wrong Brunson, sir

Wow, hadn't seem very many of those prior to this. If Ivey makes that call on #1, I would've lost it.

BTW this is one of best moments on High Stakes Poker series ever (time 1:22):

Season 3, episode 13, 3:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IP6E...3512EE91132A29

This is def up there in my top 3 favorite HSP hands. Antonio and Benyamine end up in a big pot out of nowhere. I don't even like these players in particular but this hand gets weird and there is a lot going on. The play is interesting, but it just gets super weird when Benyamine starts talking about all this weird **** out of position, looking lost and nervous with a good but not great hand. He is going on and on, at one point asking Antonio if he remembers some random hand from some tournament while Antonio is ignoring him the whole time, getting deeper and deeper into this prolonged train wreck of a bluff attempt. I don't know what Benyamine was trying to do but if you look you can tell that his leg is bouncing up and down. That's a pretty well known tell. It's a really intense hand, a float gone horribly wrong, a nit playing J2, with a super awkward soliloquy in the middle of it.

^ Yeah, i remember the hand. I dont understand the call of Benyamine on turn, i think its pretty bad. If you know you are ahead, the pot its too big, so push, if not, why call?

And then Antonio checking the river and giving up.. :S

I would try to put the play of the hand into context of styles at the time but it was awhile back. I actually think had Antonio not put so much in on the turn he could have made a decent river bluff. He had a lot of bluff outs but he didn't even think about betting the river when the pretty much perfect card came. I think that Antonio was actually scared of that card like he was afraid to rep what Benyamine had, which is pretty lol bad hand reading if that's true, and it pretty much has to be true.

I'm not sure what's worse, DN's call on the turn or his fold on the river.

It is odd. But if he put Esfandiari on air, calling and checking the river is the best way to get value.

Weird hand. I guess it's tough for Antonio to rep a draw after 4betting the turn, when he could've calling the turn3bet which ave him great odds.

How large where all the full tilt Red Pro's Salaries during the Online Poker boom? I bet most of the time they were playing with players money's at those big 100k buy ins. =(

Just randomly fired up this episode on my GSN On Demand and was utterly astounded by this hand. Nearly every action if not every action in the hand was bizarre. An absolute trainwreck all-around; I miss 2008 poker. BUMP.

Top 10 hands of High Stakes Poker

Edited the first post as well, cheers

Hellmuth's 72o vs Matusow KK should be the #1 because The White Magic is not playing the cards, he's playing the man. He knew Matusow only in for 1 bullet in televised cash game and he comfortably made the bluff to induce on of the worst fold of Matusow's life.
