This is the level of comedy, huh?
I'm sorry. I'll be much better once my butt plug starts working, okay?
I got a hair transplant.
Yeah, I can see that.
I was just so confused. I'm like, what are you betting on?
Oh my god, are you serious?
That is...
Amazing.
I'm not communicating about whether or not to have not folded, okay?
It's 5-5, yeah?
Yeah.
You guys are pussies.
Get in there, Vince.
Wow.
Told you guys are pussies.
Action right away.
By celebrating up the 8-9 offsuit.
Wowzers.
Thank god I folded.
Got her first 4-bet of the day.
Wow.
This is the first hand, ladies.
Oh, ace-jack-5.
Call kings the ace-magnets for a reason.
Wow.
Oh, ----. First hands.
****, I had a 2.
You don't know how to say that.
Oh, well that gives me information.
I know it's a joke, but you're technically not allowed to say it with cards you have.
Let's see if Carlson gets married to his pocket kings.
2,000.
Wow, almost goes for full pot.
Actually puts Carlson all-in for 1,400.
This is so much fun.
Call on the flop, like you raise pre-flop, then you just call.
Call on the flop.
Then you raise, like you bet when the deuce comes.
I mean, you could have ace-2, but that's counterfeit by now.
Like, the problem is, I want to call, but I cannot find any reason to call.
That's so relatable.
I don't know, I just have a weird feeling.
Yeah, that's good.
That's good.
I didn't necessarily think you'd do that.
Oh, ----.
And Bryce takes down a $5,000 pot first hand of the creator game.
That was a poor call. He helped me cover it.
I've had to pee this whole time, but it's so much fun.
Just do it under the table. No one's going to see it on the screen.
Just go, man.
This is the level of comedy, huh?
I'm sorry.
I'll be much better once my butt plug starts working, okay?
If you're brand new to poker and you're just getting interested
because you're watching your favorite creator's play,
you don't have to invest anything. You can play for free.
Warring.
See, that's why I always liked Bryce.
He's always willing to put in his hand.
You should see it, Logan.
Are you going to sweat? Thank you.
Okay, wow. Family plot.
Four, five, six, please.
Going five-handed, king, five, three, all clubs.
Yeah, that's basically it.
Mizgif. Is that on me?
The nut flush draw.
What did I miss? Oh, check.
Okay. That's a flush. That's cool.
It's in here for sure.
Call.
Mizgif with the speech and the ace of clubs in his hand makes the call.
Ace of spades on the turn.
Good news for Mizgif and Carlson.
Check.
120 from Carlson. He feels good about his hand right now.
He doesn't want to flinch.
Getting a little too rich for just a king.
Yeah, good fold, buddy.
I don't think he's allowed to say that.
Am I not allowed to say that?
My bad.
Sorry.
Oh, and the club comes in.
Terrible news for Carlson
as he makes the second nuts to Mizgif's nut flush.
Miz is pretending he's thinking, but...
Queen. Wow.
Oh, he just makes the call with the nuts.
With the queen of clubs.
No, he's not.
The ace of clubs?
Oh, my goodness.
I'm a little scatological now.
I'm first.
Call a spot.
There we go. Raise. There we go.
Raise to 20.
Wait.
Appreciate the eagerness, but...
Raise to 50.
Gotta let the magician take his time.
Raise to 50.
It's a big number.
Yeah, Lee finding the three bet with king-jack offsuit.
Haven't seen you raise yet, man.
Yeah, that's true. It's a little scary.
I've raised plenty of times.
It just hasn't worked out.
Well, if you raised ace-king $10 more...
That wasn't the intent.
The intent was to two-ax it.
I just don't know how to play.
Even $20 more when six people call.
He's scared.
It's still slightly better.
It's marginally more justifiable.
Like, 100's actually...
Actually, I would have said, like, 80.
No, I did 50. I raised 50.
I mean, I'm just gonna get in there. Let's go.
The table's kind of deciding by committee
what to do against this hand.
You definitely have an ace.
$200.
Oh, snap. Botez in the mix.
Snap.
You see how he said it, too?
Snap.
$155 more to call.
And, yeah, getting 3-1.
Hall's gonna see a flop.
If you guys want to sweat, you're welcome.
Can I sweat, too?
King-jack four, all hearts.
Botez flopping middle set.
Laid with top two.
I checked in the dark.
I didn't know that three hearts were gonna come.
Hall with an absolute dust bunny of a hand.
Any amount. Anything.
All of it.
$250.
He goes less than half pot.
I'm all in.
And Laid takes his top two.
It goes all in.
Let me think about this for a second.
Don't think.
I mean, I fold.
He shows it.
I called 200 preflop with that. I don't care.
Wait, what was it?
8-5 offsuit, no heart.
I mean, I can't fold here.
Okay, I call.
And Alex gets it.
Great shape right now.
Wow.
Oh, my God. You need a king.
That's crazy.
That's disgusting.
$4,200 in this pot.
I was so ******* out of there.
Are you going once or twice?
No king.
Do you want once or twice?
Wow.
He likes the pain.
So they can do two flops.
King.
No king, and Alex is gonna take the whole pot.
Quick break to share that I've been
working on a chess-inspired video game.
I've been working on a chess-inspired video game.
It's a battle royale with
32 players on a giant chessboard.
You move your pieces in real time.
The pieces have
magical abilities.
Magnus tried it.
Unfortunately,
he checkmated himself.
Think you can do better?
Check out projectcheckmate.com to join the playtest.
Is it on me?
I'm small?
Yeah, no, I don't think it is.
It's going all in anyway.
Your hand is too good,
especially on this game.
Do you want some chip denominations?
Yeah.
Do you want one?
He points to him.
What's your name, camera man?
Wait, is this mine?
Nice to meet you, Alex.
Raise to 15.
You gotta call. It's two more reds.
Raise to 30.
You can't min-click me.
That just gets me in there.
Maybe I want you in with me.
I don't know if I can fold this monster.
I don't know. Last time you said that, you showed 8-5 off.
200.
That's crazy. I respect it.
Sometimes, hey, these people,
I think they have high cards.
Yeah, and honestly, you can trap them with those smalls.
Imagine I just flopped like 8-5-5.
That's what I did.
What am I doing?
30 dollars.
This hand,
I know the viewers are judging me.
Watch what happens, though.
Wow.
He's right.
Flops really well.
Bottom pair and the open under for Hall.
Botes, top pair.
You're telling me this isn't a me flop.
That is a great flop.
This is for sure a you flop,
but it's also a for you bluff.
It is.
I don't believe you.
I got more money in there.
That's all that matters.
Alex is sus.
Miz is in there as well.
Bottom end of the straight.
I should have pulled a 200 raise.
Alex is making trips on the turn.
I'll raise 5 bucks.
I'm going to raise 200
on top of that 5.
Are you going to get a read off of this?
I just might.
Okay, you guys are lying.
Raise 600.
Miz, unless you have a really good hand.
I love Miz.
I like the way Miz plays.
Yeah, he's a good guy.
You like that?
Yeah, I'm sure the viewers appreciate Miz.
James, how are you doing, man?
If I gave you 5, will you tell me what you got?
You thought about it, though.
How about 10?
We're trying to figure out the dealer's price.
That is the question.
How much did you raise it?
600?
I'm not trying to take a bus home.
Alex, can I look too?
Yeah, of course.
Wow.
Paul's looking for a straight.
Yes.
That's what I make in a month.
Oh, no.
Terrible news for Botez.
Paul makes a straight on the river.
I'm just so confused.
2,000.
I'm so confused. 2,000.
Snap announced.
It is weird that you didn't like that river.
I have a steel wheel.
What is a steel wheel?
I did not have anything.
I had a 3.
Oh, torture.
If I had an ace queen, would I have won?
What else did you have?
Two pair.
Ace is 1, so ace is 2, 3, 4, 5.
Yes, she was.
I know.
It was really cool, though.
Sorry.
That's so funny.
That was a great river to bluff on.
I had an ace, too.
Edelman passes up on the 7-deuce game.
That was so gross.
That's crazy.
So gross.
He might want to raise me at a tilt.
I'll get there.
My girlfriend is on the date.
I'll take that.
Hall with a gut shot.
I'll do 100.
Thank you.
I'll call to see a turn.
Is it just me and Bryce?
Yeah.
Ace on the turn.
Miz now with top two.
Call a top pair on the gutter.
Why are you messing with this guy?
What has he ever done to you?
Long story.
What's the story?
1,000 bucks.
What's the story?
He was gambling.
I couldn't afford to go to the table.
I just trolled him a lot.
He yelled at me.
I saw a huge vein in his neck.
Did he lose a lot of money?
I was down 50,000 at the time.
In 10 minutes.
You were down 50,000?
I'm trying to think.
Miz has never made before.
What a teacher makes in a year.
It's nothing for me.
Bruno Mars?
No one is supposed to know that.
Wow.
Miz.
Snap calls.
You're winning.
Let the 10 come.
This is insane.
If it's a 10, he wins.
As long as it's not a 10, I win.
Come on, James.
You son of a bitch.
Sorry, James.
Don't be rude.
You have a lot of money.
It was son of a bitch in a loving way.
James knew who you were too.
Safe card.
Miz, you did it.
We did it as a family.
You have to tip James now.
James already knows.
James is locked in.
How does that feel?
I beat Bryce.
Do it.
I was so confused.
What are you betting?
Are you serious?
The icing on the cake
is the misspelled Ben.
He just took off his shirt
and now he has another shirt underneath.
That's amazing.
What do you think Bobby Fischer's
ELO would be today?
Very high.
Probably
2800.
Bobby Fischer?
Back in the day?
If he was playing today, what would his rating be?
We're on the TV out there, guys.
Wave and say hello.
You're going to see it in 30 minutes
that we're waving.
I'm a fan of none of his chess
but his personal feelings about my pieces.
It's live here, I think.
That one's live.
Oh my god, it is live out there.
Wow, that's so cool.
Does it show our cards?
Nope.
I was about to say,
I could just go out there and cheat.
Why does he have that already?
He raised.
Sorry, I wasn't paying attention.
You were too busy thinking about Bobby Fischer.
I was.
The $100 bounty on the 7-deuce game.
You want to run it back, David?
David, GTO.
Go all in.
I want you to look at this hand really quick for me.
I'd call.
Wow.
Do you want me to help?
Because I just wrenched it.
Miz is a new table expert.
$120 total?
$120 total.
Lade's going to make the call and try to get that bounty.
But he's not a fighter.
Ace, ace, three.
Botez with their kings not feeling too happy about this.
A little less scary
and there's two aces out there instead of just one.
Wow.
In your face.
Collage.
No.
It's very romantic to stare down.
Oh, Magnus was in.
Oh, wow.
Okay, now I'm very confused.
He's got queens, dude.
Come on, Magnus.
If you have an ace,
are you just afraid of the flush in your slow play?
I just got really excited.
I didn't want to throw it in.
He's going to give you three answers.
This is actually a really tough spot.
You guys can sweat.
Is it queens or kings?
Don't react.
You realize that Magnus Carlsen
is also in this game.
I closed my eyes.
I thought you were out.
Okay, I promise you I didn't see what you had.
Should I fold?
Just kidding.
They're both all in.
Wow, kings.
Magnus in great shape.
96% running diamonds.
Trying to win the extra $100.
You can't even make a straight.
You need running sevens.
Running diamonds would do it.
Running diamonds,
running deuces, or running sevens.
You can't make a straight.
Deuces and sevens would not do it.
Running deuces or sevens doesn't help.
Quads, I mean, that's pretty good.
Wow, that's the biggest hand of the night.
You would have been in huge trouble.
I would have been absolutely screwed.
Good hand, Magnus.
You're just going to call?
Uh-oh.
Edelman limps the A6 suit
and Carlsen's going to make a raise
with seven five of diamonds.
Both have the same hand of hearts.
Sorry.
She's got position. She's going to see three.
Second bullets the charm.
55?
You're glory chasing.
Just going for all the glory.
Miz calls,
and wow, Bryce Hall actually folds
the Doyle Brunson.
I would like to sweat.
What are you doing?
Queen ten eight, two hearts.
Fotez with the flush draw.
Miz kip,
top and bottom pair.
That was just me letting people sweat,
so if you're not playing, it's more interesting
if you can know what's going on.
They don't realize Bryce that we're actually nasty at this game.
I know, we're actually super bros.
We're actually nasty.
Miz, what do you want me to do?
Call or fold?
Put $1,000 down, I'll put $1,000 down.
Wow.
That's what you want me to do?
I did.
Holy ballsack.
Wow.
Uh-oh.
Okay, well, it's on you, Miz.
I checked, because that was a lot of money.
What do you want me to do?
Just check, please, for the love of God.
Check.
Yeah, that's game. I win.
This is not fun for you.
Go ahead.
What do you want me to do?
Wow, that's a nice girl right there.
Alex, it was fun.
Queen.
And I have a flush.
Which means you lose.
You checked with a flush?
She was being nice to Miz.
He's newer.
To be clear, no mercy against
Magnus, Bryce, David.
All three.
Miz.
I like you and Fela.
Alex, she gave me a ride home in her jet.
I don't have a jet.
Thank you very much.
Guys, if she plays poker with Miz long enough,
she's going to have a private jet.
Guys, I'm not trying to get robbed
on the way out of here.
Oh, I want your hand.
That was beautiful.
Five dollars.
****, that's a lot.
I know exactly what she has.
Check in the dark.
I'm going to guess queen jack, jack ten,
king jack.
One of those.
But I have a lot of outs to those.
Call out
Flops Botez.
She does have backdoor clubs.
Really?
Alex, I can't believe you did that to me.
I could have taken more money
from you if I wanted to.
That was not fun.
You're not going to get any reads off of me.
I do this with the nuts or I do this with
absolute air.
One more.
Somehow coaxes her into it.
Trying to get it cheap.
What a river.
And she gets there.
That's such a brutal river.
I'm going to have to check it now.
I hope she does not bet.
Dude, I'm mind fucked right now.
Alex, bet.
She really did hit that ******* river.
I hate that.
Just bet.
Do you want to see?
She hit that river.
You're making me team 50.
Good hand, Alex.
Don't show it, Alex.
Don't show it.
Bummer, she wanted to show the 10.
I really hoped the 10 was coming.
I would have had two pair if a 10 came.
Do you take finesse stride?
You have really good hair.
Your hair is really good.
Do you take finesse stride or anything for it?
Wait.
I do very little unfortunately.
It's not unfortunate.
I got a hair transplant.
Yeah, I can see that.
You got a hair transplant?
30 minutes of my chat will laugh at that.
Did you go to Turkey?
No, I went to New York.
Yeah, Magnus is low key very funny.
He doesn't say that much.
But when he does, it's a kill shot.
What?
That is a fantastic argument.
Well, I'm going to race instead.
25.
No, but I didn't take care of my hair transplant
when I got it, so I ruined it.
Wait, what do you mean?
I went to Lubbock's tournament.
I was in the sun for so long, I burnt my hair.
Really?
So they fell off or what happened?
They completely fell off.
How much was the surgery?
It was free.
You had to talk about it?
He was a viewer.
Wait, really?
That's actually really nice.
He's really cool.
Did he write you, like, hey, you're losing your hair
and do you want to come in?
Yeah, he's like, you look bad on stream, let me help.
Wait, actually?
Yeah, basically.
But Magnus said it looks like I got it done, so...
It looks good.
Dude casteride?
What's that?
You really wish that was straddle, huh?
Harry, Mrs. Chat,
what can you guys offer him?
Someone gave him free hair.
What do you guys have for Miz?
Carlson floppy flush
with a steel wheel redraw.
Don't worry, Bryce will...
40? No, it's still 100. I'm bored.
Chat, I'm reading all your stuff.
Do you like Miz
or do you hate Miz?
Do you guys hate watching him?
Yeah, but he...
It's a topical thing called
RU58841.
Wait, so you know your ----.
Bodybuilding.
Top and bottom on the flop
versus Carlson's flush.
It's gonna be hard to get away from this.
I own a gym taking shots of tequila.
What'd you say?
Check? Oh, who's that?
Magnus? I want his money.
200. Are you the before photo
in a lot of the...
a lot of the workout stuff?
Me? Yeah.
I own the gym and I don't go.
It's the employee.
Good to know everyone's warming up.
Carlson just makes the call.
Oh my god, I win. That's not fun.
That's not fun.
Check?
Carlson giving Miz
just enough rope to hang himself.
10 bucks.
This is getting raised.
Bryce.
$1,000.
No way.
Oh man,
makes the call.
Miz is in trouble.
It's extra funny
when someone's gloating about 7 Deuce
because everyone else just lost $100.
Who's got the most money? Is it you, Alex?
No.
Yeah, I think it's Alex and Bryce.
That's what I said.
Yeah, Bryce has what?
Got Carlson with the 7 Deuce now trying to win.
Boat has 3 Bet
and the 3 Deuce.
Before he does that, can I fold?
Yeah.
I'm out. I'm not feeling this one.
I thought I knew all the numbers.
Let's go with Bryce
because you're like every other day.
Carlson now
with a decision.
Does he want to make this 4 Bet
and try to take down the bounty free?
He's doing it.
Who raised that?
That's my $1,000 right there.
I can't say anything.
The 7 Deuce bounty is so big
that this is actually
a pretty reasonable play when you're getting $100
per person in a 5-5 blind game.
Put all that 7 Deuce money on.
I don't mean the last line of defense
against the bounty. Can't do it.
No!
Fantastic!
Magnus Carlson
taking down
the 7 Deuce bounty.
Everyone out there is so much more serious.
That's because they're in a $5,000 tournament.
I'm going to raise it.
It's a good time to caution you guys
that
non-creator game poker tournaments
are significantly more serious.
Really bad decision.
I just want to play.
Mizchat, I'm back you guys.
I missed you guys.
You're crazier.
Very nice, very sweet.
Mizchat, more unhinged.
I've already made a bad decision.
Please.
No 3 bets. There hasn't been any 3 bets.
It's your job.
I was the one that raised.
I was going to 4 bet.
Holy ----.
Queen 8 gets there.
What did I raise?
He beat me with odds.
I beat him 15 games in a row.
Nothing to say like that.
Just a perfect sequence of moves.
Hey David, remember when you bluffed with 7,
pulled it over before the cards were there?
You know what? That's great for your stream
and that's great for your final agenda.
So I think it's good.
Be a magician and also play chess.
Votez with a stranglehold on this one.
I'm not as smart as I want to be at chess.
Yeah, but you beat her.
I'm actually pretty ******* good now that I think about it.
Yeah, you're pretty ******* good.
My eyes could not be rolling harder.
I only have 100 rating.
Magnus, you heard that right that I beat her?
What?
I beat her at a game of chess.
Yeah, I heard it just now.
What kind of odds were they?
Can I ask how many times we played and how many he won?
Too much. He's busy. He's in the hand. Just one game.
Just one game. Same time clocks and everything.
He just won. Fair and square.
750.
Biz, I bet you I could beat you at deluxe.
I would put any amount of money I'd beat any of you.
Wow, and Halt just snaps.
Yes.
I bet you money for deluxe. I haven't played in like a year.
20.
Deal.
I'd love to.
Wow.
I wouldn't say I'm very good, though.
Can't rub the queen anymore, can you?
Bryce, do you play Mario Kart?
Votez definitely feeling better about her hands.
That's a thousand. Draws missed.
Straight draws and flush draws missed.
He may pay this off.
Let's cross-reference the narrative.
I have a boat.
But notice how I haven't snap-phoned.
I have a boat.
He's got no clubs in his hand.
No straight cards in his hand.
I call.
Nice bet, Votez.
Wow.
Good hand, Alex.
That was maximum value.
Let's go.
Thank you.
Bennett melt with just
every chip on the table right now.
Started with $1,000.
Having a dream night.
$180.
Let's go, Votez.
Seven-deuce game is on.
$100 per player for this bounty.
The lead is waking up with pocket kings
and the small blind.
What the **** is going on?
Fun cards, but
for $400 it's just too expensive.
He's going to let it go. $220 to call.
And you've got position.
Me too.
I just thought the exact same thing.
The five bet to $1,200
with seven-deuce.
My hand was fun.
I'm all in.
Oh my.
Tap on the shoulder.
I'm all in.
Alex, call it.
For the real.
I feel like seven-deuce is going to win.
Keep in mind if you win
we have to give you $100 each.
That's right.
An extra $600.
Go for it.
That would be the best.
It would be a clip.
If I call, will we run it twice?
You have to answer that with seven-deuce.
Come on, dude. I have seven-deuce.
Okay, I call.
I'd pocket nine.
Wait, you have pocket kings.
She's going to win, isn't she?
He's definitely got a pair.
The question is
if you run it twice and you win once
you should pay $50.
Wait, what do you guys want to do before?
The first one is the one that gets $100.
First one. Does that sound fine?
If you actually even win the second one
we'll give you $50 each.
Congratulations on your clip.
Very generous of you.
Thank you.
Let's get a sweat.
Can he beat her in chess once?
Can he beat her in poker as well?
Don't show me a nine on the flop, please.
Can you go slow for me, dealer, please?
I want to feel something.
Show me a nine, please.
The fact that he has a pair is really fucked.
He's just going to take it all.
There's a seven.
Seven or two.
Make it the seven of hearts.
Please, one time.
Let's do two queens.
That would be fun.
It doesn't matter for hearts.
Seven of hearts, let's do it.
I guess two queens, he still wins.
Holy ----.
Let's get an ace of hearts.
Deuce of clubs, thank you.
Nine, heart, seven.
Deuce of clubs. Incoming.
Wow!
He got the flush.
Flush over flush.
He took my seven, so I'm screwed.
He's just going to take it.
No, twos.
Come on, two twos.
Just make it funny.
Did anybody have a two?
Two?
Come on.
Two, seven.
One time, or a three.
I'll take anything here.
Seven.
Seven of hearts.
Alexander is so good at suspense.
Wow!
A five could chop it up.
He gets 75% of it.
Whatever, I'll take anything.
A five deuce or seven.
Wow.
Good hand, David.
Nice job, David.
There's no justice.
You got to respect the heart on Alex Botez, though.
Going with a seven deuce
for $4,500.
