It's crazy to think back that even though everyone made a big deal about Jamie Gold's chip-count going to the FT in 2006, he actually had a slightly smaller % of chips in play than Raymer had here. Raymer has a hair over 32%, Gold had just under 31%

So cool to watch this years later. Everyone has grown up(especially Josh) but Raymer's dominance and absolute class shines through. Legendary...

Played with Raymer many times, mostly before this event. Coolered him in a satellite with KK vs QQ for the main event at the Foxwoods 2002 poker finals. Harrington is someone I remember from the early days at the chessboard. He was one of the strongest players in New England in the early 1970s. Back then, as little more than a novice, I never dreamt I would be playing master level in less than ten years and would doubtless have met him had he not left New England and turned to poker.

A10 vs AK, runner runner straight for Raymer, he was destined to win it, never seen anyone get so lucky

If you don't have haters then you're doing something wrong.

Arieh so rude to Raymer, right after Raymer complimented him

It’s funny because people give all these guys that have won the tournaments crap about how lucky they were over the years but since David Williams got second, it’s like people forget. You go back and watch from like day three. The dude was literally all in for his tournament life about 16 times and never lost once

It's such a contrast to see how poker was played in 2004 vs now. Greg really sun ran, mixed with good play.

Harrington, Kruk, Williams all class acts

It’s impressive how deep of a run David Williams made considering he played purely off instinct and never took more than 5 seconds to make a decision or to even think about what his opponent could have.

Till this day I still have no idea why David called Greg down to the river like that…David looked mad that entire hand like he wasn’t gonna let him push him around and then was like oh well I lost 🤷‍♂️

I just happened to look up Al Krux and couldn’t believe what happened to the guy… 🤦🏻‍♂️

They didn't really do a good job portraying how tournaments work back then. Things like how many big blinds each player has. Raymer was a huge chipleader, and he was calling smaller stacks with decent hands he just so happen to get lucky with and didn't really do too much damage to his chip stack.

@randylahey8207

7 ай бұрын

Perfect example of not understanding why he was in the position in the first place, and how editing makes people think he didn't deserve to win. Raymer bullied those people into submission, to the point that someone as experienced as Al Krux check jammed A9 on an AK5 flop with two diamonds against the two chipleaders, with the biggest stack betting from early position into two opponents. I'm sure he looks back at that with regret knowing he should've waited for a better spot. But the relentless nature of Raymer's style made him crack, and he donated to the eventual winner. Raymer has several wins since then, but plays infrequently and like all who play his style, either gets chips or goes up in flames. If you think watching ESPN's version of a tournament from 2004 is anyway to judge a poker player, please come to my next home game so we can clean you out...

99 never seems to hold against AQ, down the stretch at the Main Event. Whether Ivey vs Moneymaker, Arieh vs Raymer, or Jarvis vs Mizrachi.

These blinds were insane vs their stakes.

I am no seasoned poker pro or veteran, but all throughout that final hand, Raymer just screamed pocket pair to me. I guess Williams thought he was bluffing repeatedly at the pot (which I could understand that thought process), but Raymer had played consistently well with quality hands throughout the tournament.

People say Raymer was super lucky, so was Krux on the final two tables. Well til he busted 🤣🤣🤣

I bet Josh Arieh gets beat up a lot in the parking lot of his local casino in ATL

I just bought some stock in pork ribs!!!!

Wow a lot of money but I only enjoy to watch 🤣😂
