  • Perrson: I just lost a million dollars in the largest televised poker hand of all time. Friend: wow, must have been a sick bad beat, what did you have? Perrson: Q high
  • @LostBravesFan
    Eric didn't realize he was drawing dead at first til another player told him.
  • The fact he politely said 'nice hand Patrick' while we all know hes capable of doing otherwise just shows how much Patrick is respected at the tables.

    Patrik showed a lot of class by not asking Eric how many times heโ€™d like to run it ๐Ÿ˜‚
  • @GWOAT
    Persson begging for a Q or 9 when he drawing dead ๐Ÿ˜‚
  • @Devilfish6666
    Antonius is one of these guys that can have that dead read on you from the get go. The min-raise was spot on too in hindsight. Guys just a beast.

    I gotta give Eric credit. The man makes the highlight reels and he's never on the winning end ๐Ÿ˜‚. Like a high roller version of Matusow

    I don't know why I love seeing Persson losing pots like this. But I love it!
  • @Acesman12345
    Legend has it that every time Eric eats a piece of dry toast, $67,000 falls on his shirt.
  • Doug you are a comedian โ€œThis is a 10-15 card room playโ€. Had me rolling ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜….
  • I remember a moment where Doug passed me in the hallway at Rio in 2019. I think he was having a bad run at the series that year and was talking about not sticking around in poker. Glad you are at it and killing it with content still. The poker world wouldn't be the same without you, Doug.

    Eric is fantastic for every other poker player's game ๐Ÿคฃ
  • @imatwork7866
    this is a 10, 15 or 20 card room bet๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€
  • Genius! Finally watched the full tourney ad. Congrats for the ingenuity, Doug and team
  • @Badbentham
    8:00 Persson's instantaneous and large reraise on this board can be interpreted as quite a timing tell; - A3s, 33, and 88 would likely think for some while, and probably picked a smaller sizing, as there is rather little that Antonius could hit , apart from an overpair . Means: Antonius put him exactly on the type of hand that he actually had.
  • Great analysis Doug And on that note let me just say that it's great having you back in the poker world
  • The way the announcer calls out the action and the streets is ridiculous lmao it kills me every time
  • @victorgr54
    Doug your commentating is awesome. Your side-dark humor "blow money of fire" is your true calling. You had me in stitches!!
