Hello everyone.The answer from a french mind : I think you forget the 1st hand of WSOP 2005 (if I remember correctly) between Samy Farha and his opponent.Samy had A T, his opponent T T.Flop : A A T, full house for both of them...Check check, turn is a Q, they bet, raise, re-raise, all-in, called.Samy's opponent was drawing dead ==> :D I think this hand should figure in the top 5.It makes me realize how a hand can go down for anyone at anytime. :club:

Ok......just to stir things up a little (I never do that!) I am going to offer a controversial nominee......after Gold won the ME, at the very end of the ESPN broadcast, perhaps even after the credits had rolled, there was a private shot from a distance of Gold sitting all alone at the table on his cell phone talking to his father who was unable to attend due to illness (Alzheimer’s?), there was no commentary over the shot, just Gold on the Phone telling his father that he had won......love him or (more likely) hate him, it was a subtle "human interest" moment that was actually touching.

just looking at hands (and not funny quotes) DN's HU bluff against deeb in the 04 championship poker at the plaza is still top 5
Is that the one that Harrington references in his book as one of the best (or most interesting, I can't remember) he's ever seen?Just reading the description is sounds like an amazing play, I've never seen it on video.

When I read the title of this thread, before I opened it, I thought that the Ivey hand should be number #1.

OP, this is a great thread. this should be stickied.some that come to mind:1) -the youtube clips of Tony G at the WPT paris against surrinder sunar. I love these. "Don't let me win this pot...it's all over if I win this pot....[Mike Sexton] "Tony G will be out of the tournament if he loses this pot""I'm not afraid...I'm never afraid""Even if I lose this pot, I can still be the greatest player in the world...you cant"2) Hellmuth vs. Annie Duke in the Tournament of Champions "she may not even know.......how strong I am here" [Norman Chad] "you can have producer's tickets or anything you want, I'd watch this any day of the week" [Hellmuth after losing] "Second, Third....this time no money...i mean i love annie, but she had to 30-1" (this is before Annie publicly said that she thinks Hellmuth has Asperger's syndrome)3) High Stakes Poker -hand where the Unabomber flops a K hi flush and Matusow bluffs off his entire stack on the river (there are a lot of really good Matusow clips on HSP)4) HSP -hand where Jamie Gold raises with AA and tells the table "I could have the best hand in the world or I could have nothing" and Matusow breaks down laughing about how when he said that during the ME he had the hand every time5) HSP -Hellmuth flops Aces and Queens against Greenstein's set6) HSP -Hellmuth flops a weak Ace against Daniel's Aces up7) WSOP ME -Matusow and Sheiky both get penalties after MM curses and Sheiky is talking about his folded hand during the play8) Tournament of Champions with Hellmuth and Hoyt Corkins. I particularly like the footage afterwards when Hellmuth is walking with his Dad talking about how badly Corkins overplays his hands "its just ALL IN ALL IN ALLIN ALLIN" there are more but this is just off the top of my headbtw, all of these are easily found on youtube
