Today’s episode features three epic hands from my favorite poker show of all-time, High Stakes Poker.
Tom Dwan pulls off one of the best bluffs of all time, Phil Galfond gets GOT by a recreational player, and Brad Booth pounds stacks of cash on the felt with four high vs. the GOAT Phil Ivey.

The other bluff we chose was a little bit more recent (it happened back in 2018) and involved a former WSOP champion trying to bully his way into another WSOP Main Event final table.
Today’s episode features two pots from the greatest player to ever sit down at the green felt.
Hand 1 is a classic pitting Phil Ivey against Tom “Durrr” Dwan on High Stakes Poker where a pot BALLOONS to over $600,000.
Hand 2 is just Phil Ivey doing Phil Ivey things in a classic hand you genuinely do not want to miss.
