From the Rivers property in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this is Poker Night in America. (Big Band Music) From Rivers in Pittsburgh, this is Poker Night in America. I'm Chris Hansen alongside Joe Stapleton who has spent more money, seriously, on Lotto tickets than he has poker buy ins.
- Yes, but that's because I started off my TV career doing scratch off commentary. - But Joe it's just so minus EV. - So are a lot of things Chris. Movie theater candy, massage groupons, having children, The Big Bang Theory, I could go on. - Okay, point taken. Sheesh. I feel like we should look at the chip counts or something. But pretty much all you need to know is that Kyle Bowker is on the show tonight and that means he wins and everyone else loses. - That's true. - [Chris] Kyle Bowker started off the night just with a $23,000 profit, no big deal http://crystallball.org/. Welcome Sam Ganzfried back to the table. He's played with us before here on Poker Night in America. Anyone wanna grab the five seat? Seat's open. - [Joe] You know I like my chicken Ganzfried. Cold beer on a Friday night, pair of, okay. - [Chris] Hey Stapes, so what are the blinds? - [Joe] 25 and 50 with an optional $100 straddle which is a blind raise you put in before the flop that buys you pre-flop position. - [Chris] I knew you knew the answer. - [Steve] Kalas straddling this hand. - [Chris] Fives for Immekus. - When you play with the right people it's like... - I would imagine quite good at it. - If you get in some it would be. - [Chris] You know what kind of games I hate playing? All the players are better than me. Which is pretty much every game I play. - [Joe] I was gonna say, where do you find a game? - [Chris] I play with my kids mainly. (laugh) - [Joe] That's like child abuse. - [Chris] No, they actually, they still win. It's pretty sad. Ganzfried gets involved. He's got ace, queen of hearts. Versus the fives. And look at that set of fives versus top pair. - He bet, I called, and he just went all in. - [Chris] Start up your chip stacks kids. - [Joe] Hello Sam Ganzfried, goodbye Sam Ganzfried. Top pair, top kicker gets bottom set. Smell ya later. - [Chris] $450 the bed from Immekus. - [Joe] He places $450 into the middle. What a sweet feeling when you have a set and get called. - [Chris] Let's see what happens on the turn. More bad news for Ganzfried. - [Joe] Or great news for Immekus. Hey Hanson, Immekus. (kissing noises) - [Chris] No. You know I hate bearded guys. (laugh) Alright, so two pair for Ganzfried. Immekus has the set of fives. Is two pair enough for Ganzfried to get it all in there? - [Joe] Yep, probably. - [Chris] He's a very tight player. And I say that with everything due respect. But he is tight. - [Joe] Oh, that's good to know. - [Chris] He's facing a bet here of $1075. - [Joe] You know what Einstein said, everything is relative, including my wife. He married his cousin. - [Chris] So there's a call. - [Joe] Unless an ace or a queen hits, Ganz-fried is about to get Ganz-burned. - [Chris] Boat now for Immekus on the river. Wonder if the board pairing is also gonna scare him just a little bit with ace, queen. Little bit? Little bit? - [Joe] I don't thin - [Chris] He does check. Little bit? - [Joe] Ace, queen is just gonna be the best hand here so often. - [Chris] $3400. - [Joe] What a tough spot. This is a tougher spot than being asked, does this make me look fat? I think you're right Chris, I think the nine maybe helps him make this fold, but man I do not envy this position at all. - [Chris] Ganzfried is just beating himself up here. I mean, he's trying to come up with a way to call. - I guess I call. - [Chris] And he does call. It's the wrong decision though. - [Joe] And if you thought he was a tight player before, my guess is he will not be playing another hand for the rest of the night. Straddle on and so is the soup. Poker Night in America brought to you by beef barley. You should have made a better offer split pea. - [Chris] Quick, favorite soup. - [Joe] Cream of broccoli. - [Chris] Look at me, beer cheese. - [Joe] Obviously. - $850. - [Chris] Cream of broccoli? Deeb and Brunson. Only two players who want to participate in this particular hand. - [Joe] I like the three bet against the guy who opens a lot. Especially when the straddle on. - [Chris] Both players get their jack. - [Joe] Deeb is out. This could be the worst thing to happen to Shaun Deeb since direct sunlight. Don't see Shaun doing much here other than just calling. - [Chris] Maybe can I get involved? This is the worst thing to happen to Shaun Deeb since stairs? - [Joe] Oh man, you're alone on that one. Cardio. Not a great card for either player. Guess it's a slightly better card for Shaun because he picks up a draw. And it's a scare card for him. - [Chris] so they both check. So here comes the river. - [Joe] Unreal how good Shaun Deeb runs on Poker Night in America. That's the best thing to happen to Shaun since the elevator. (laugh) - [Joe] Alright, good follow up. - [Chris] Did I do good? - [Joe] You did real good Chris. - [Chris] Thanks. He's still gonna kill me later, but that's beside the point. - [Joe] Still, this isn't a great board for Todd. So there's a good chance Shaun won't get too much more out of him. Shaun is tricky though. If there's a way for him to squeeze more money out of Todd, Shaun will figure it out. That's $1850. Saw Todd fold the top pair incorrectly before. So he's playing a little on the tight side today. Todd may end up leveling himself into thinking Shaun would bet all of his busted draws. It's just that a lot of draws got there. - [Chris] Exactly. Yeah, the spades got there, the straights got there. - [Joe] Todd has the nut spade blocker, so he can in fact make this move. - So stupid. I should just chuck this river and I (beep) know it. How frustrating. - [Chris] When did Shaun get a Nerf sponsorship deal? Very lucrative. - [Joe] I think his body might be made of Nerf. I wonder if Todd really thinks he can get Shaun to fold the straight or if he's just playing the odds that he won't always be that strong? With the ace of spades in Todd's hand, he can't effectively rep the nut flush. Shaun just has to figure out how often Todd is bluffing here. And honestly, I don't think it's that often. - [Chris] It really does have that smell of I know you have it but I've got something much bigger and I want you to pay for it. It really has that smell right now. - [Joe] It's been an incredibly well timed bluff. - [Chris] Deeb lets the straight go. And a smile, look at that. - Shoulda had an eight of hearts. - Yeah. He has no eight of hearts to show. He wants to slow roll, but I made a good fold. - You made a good fold. - Huh? - [Chris] There it is. - Good on. - [Joe] Oh wow. - Well there was Todd Brunson's one bluff of the year. - He had an ace of spades blocker. - He had an ace of spades blocker. You know, shut up Joe. I am so sick of hearing about people talk about blockers. I mean, it is the most insane thing to hear people talk about. - Fine, we'll just talk about Bitcoin. - Okay, tell me more about blockers.
