Talking about slow pony, I had completely forgotten about this hand, but that might be my favorite televised hand to date. Nothing too crazy, but a big pot, the intensity in their eyes when they try to figuring out each other, etc.

Durr bluffs Ivey:

I'm sure I either watched or read some commentary from Barry on this, but can't find it now. Anyone else know where his or Eastgate's thoughts might be?

Here's Durr's take on things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR6AHzamALs

Robl taking it down four times doesn't require much backstory. Just crazy odds plus funny commentary. Two great hands here.

Didn't Barry talk about this hand at length in a 2+2 Pokercast Podcast? I distinctly remember him talking about regretting not double-checking his suits before he folded (he said he should have checked to see how many A2s Durrrr could have had -- turns out his AA blocked two of them (of course) and there was one "offsuit" deuce on the flop, leaving only one remaining A2s possible).

That commentary was about the *other* big hand with Dwan and Eastgate where Barry had aces. (The one where Barry and Dwan get it all in and Dwan takes down almost a million bucks)

Ok, I am positive I heard Barry talk about this hand (the one in our contest) on a Podcast. Thought it was the Pokercast. Maybe it was a different Pokercast than episode 66? Some chance it was a Life of Ivey episode or a PokerRoad episode. Small chance that I simply read Barry's comments about this hand somewhere. I know, I am no big help at all.

#127, #149 or #159 seem like options.

Was it the one where Barry talked about having his car stolen from valet parking? idk.

Funny thing is, I could have saved you the trouble. Now that I watch these two again, I should have voted for the first one. Maybe not as entertaining but definitely more interesting.

I remember watching that episode when it first aired. When Dwan says "HE had the best hand" at Eastgate, that was the moment I truly found new respect for the durrrrr game. Hard to believe that it took that long, as he was already an online legend.

It was also the moment when I knew I'd never go beyond a small-stakes rec, too.

Robl in this hand is worse than when Jennifer Tilly played that hand bad against Antonius on Poker After Dark
