2004 WSOP Limit Event, Jim McManus and Ellix Powers. They get into a confrontation and then Ellix bets K8hh on the big streets and McManus calls him down with QT on a board of rags. Ellix wins with K high and starts to berate McManus for 2-3 minutes. Can't find on youtube or pokertube but my searchings kills suck.
Thanks in advance.
lmao. who wouldn't be on tilt from his plays. cocky as hell.
Ellix was a fixture at the peppermill in Reno about a year ago playing 2-4 and 4-8 Limit Hold'em. I see him there once and a while but he's a pretty funny guy starts alot of arguments with people and thinks he's the best Hold'em player in the world.
I guess I'm among the minority of those who didn't find this moment funny. It was fairly obvious that Ellix Powers was a human piece of trash, and as a rule those don't amuse me by their piece of trash antics.
That should tell you something about yourself, and that something is not "I have a sophisticated sense of humor".

I don't know, I think "I have a sophisticated sense of humor" fits just fine. I'm not the kind of person who needs his preferences validated by the majority.
i don't see why anyone thinks powers was out of line...
Did McManus say "you're disrespecting the game" before or after Powers was riding him for "He called with JACK HIGH" ?
I thought McManus really, really looked bad there.
Reminded me of when Steve Danneman(n?) gave gifts to everyone at some "champions" table tournament.... Phil Hellmuth was getting all tilty and shoving his chips into a big sloppy pile... and suddenly, Danneman goes off on Phil.... calling him a "punk" and what not.
That time, Phil was just totally frustrated. Nowhere near his more recent "idiots who can't spell poker" rants.
Think PokerGo/PokerCentral must've slammed YT with a lot of copyright claims when they obtained the WSOP rights because you can't find most memorable old WSOP hands on YT anymore. Unfortunate and probably counter-productive if they are trying to grow the value of their archival WSOP assets. It wouldn't hurt to have select hands available on YT's platform to pull people in. Hopefully they get on that eventually.
