  • Thanks for watching. I really appreciate your support of the channel.
  • @joeingram1
    Really enjoy your channel! Thanks for the vids
  • @psychofruit
    Mercier coming back out of nowhere last WSOP and binking the NL 2-7 against sirwatts who he beat HU in the same event many years ago was pure sickness
  • @billc1758
    Good to see you back again with another one of these videos. They're always entertaining. Maybe consider including 'The Crew' from 2004 in your next one? Thanks for the work you put in!
  • These vids are really unique and I love watching them, please continue! I've been watching all the old WSOP coverage which PokerGo has been uploading for free and it's crazy how some players who were once big names just seem to disappear. Regarding Juanda I thought he played lot out in Macau now in high stakes cash, similar to Ivey and Dwan.
  • Always look forward to these videos! Thank you for all the time you put into research and the great presentation. Jim, LV
  • @jsidorable
    This was very enjoyable. We all know the sad tales of those went off the deep end, their weaknesses or addictions exposed at the poker table. These were the stories rhat the public rarely sees......And good for John Juanda!
  • @Scott-wq5lk
    Super content, thanks for doing these! I can’t think of Robert Williamson III without hearing him on the WSOP broadcast say “I HAD THREE EIGHTS! I HAD THREE EIGHTS!”
  • @jigsaw6246
    Thanks for these updates, really enjoy your channel. Have seen Robert Williamson III from time to time playing the high stakes mixed games at Talking Stick in Scottsdale Arizona.
  • @spencer_
    These are great!! Love this series
  • Dan Heimiller is extremely well known in the poker circles. His story is fascinating and after 5 years of “small ball” he had a helluva 2023. I love the channel, BTW
  • @snex000
    Some say that to this day, John Juanda still has trips.
  • @Duderz
    I learned a lot from Gordon when i first started and had no clue where he was. Good info! Great video
  • @DonTrump-sv1si
    Played with Phil at a 1-3 pot limit omaha cash game, in the pac nw. Super nice guy and totally approachable
  • @sf1203
    Phil Gordon was also on an episode of Blind Date back when that show was gold.
