Top 3 HSP hands
 

Since we are basically three seasons in now I thought we have seen enough hands to get a fun discussion going. #1 should be probably pretty obvious, though there is some debate for a few others.

1. Negreanu-Hansen, Quad 5s versus 6s full, HSP Season 2

2. Greenstein-Farha Trips Ks vs AA, all in preflop, HSP Season 1

3. Mike the Mouth, Qhigh vs Phil Laak's K3 flopped flush, Season 2 (for hilarity, Matusow's sweet moves as he bluffs the man holding the 2nd nuts)

Others that came to mind: booth-ivey season 3, esfandiari-elezra season 1 all in suckout JJ vs antonios rockets, numerous negreanu hands seasons 1 and 2 (lindgrens quads, elezras rivered boat vs negreanus flopped straight), harman vs esfandiari season 2 (QQ vs 88 on a 6 7 9 board)

your top 3?

Chamanara loses a 300K pot to Johnny Chan by moving all in preflop with AJ.

Re: Top 3 HSP hands
 

season 2 (???) hand negreanu vs antonio. negreanu raises with KTo, antonio reraises with JJ, daniel calls. flop comes ATx rainbow. antonio bets, daniel puts him all-in for 50kish. easy fold for most players, but negreanu just wont stfu and talks and talks and talks ("i ll show you when you fold" ...) up to the point where antonio KNOWS he s way ahead and daniel doesnt haven an ace. so antonio calls, turn blanks and daniel sucks out with a king on the river.

my favourite hand since it show what a sick game poker is and why we love it, what a stupid donkey negreanu was in each and every hsp-episode and what a good player antonio really is.

auto,

that was season 1, fun hand though, definitely.

I enjoyed Doyle snapping off a Jamie Gold river bluff with Ace high/better kicker.

Yeah that was a good hand. Queen was the high card on the board btw though.

QFT!! this is probably #2 to the negreanu/hanson hand for me

Re: Top 3 HSP hands
 

Also Hellmuth vs. Negreanu

A4 on A-10-x-x-x, forget rest of board. Paid Daniel off on every street. "These mother [censored] are destroying me!"

Re: Top 3 HSP hands
 

freddy deeb and daniel negreanu in season 1 when daniel fires 50k on the river on a bluff and freddy goes into the tank and then finally calls with middle pair... a great call

earlier in the very same episode, freddy had made a great laydown against johnny chan when the river card made him a straight and gave johnny a flush

Re: Top 3 HSP hands
 

not top 3, but if the hand in season 3 where it was AJdd v. T9dd on a Jxx board with 2 diamonds involved higher profile players, it would get more love

That is definitley my top 3
very exciting to watch.

Re: Top 3 HSP hands
 

Season 2: 3-way pot w/ Negreanu, Farha, and Todd Brunson. Brunson's big bluff on the river gets Negreanu to lay down the nut flush.

Re: Top 3 HSP hands
 

Alaei's shove with like 97 or something like, he had some kind of junk pair, made a perfect read, that was really amazing. Season 2. Don't remember enough details.

Re: Top 3 HSP hands
 

all the hands where hellmuth loses lots of money and starts whining like a little girl,

Im watching this right now and it has me cracking up he such a tool, just skip to the end if u can

Re: Top 3 HSP hands
 

1) Negreanu-Hansen quads hand. That river check was so beautiful. Can you imagine how stupid Gus looks if DN checks behind?
2) Hellmuth turbocall with 2 pair vs. BG. I always enjoy whoever it was who made that into an avatar.
3) For some reason, watching that Chamanara guy bluff Matusow, then get paid off with a higher flush shortly thereafter, was pretty cool.

Honorable mention: Yukon bluffing Ivey with 24s just last week with all those bricks o' money in the middle.
