Name some of your favorite poker television moments

The Jennifer Tilly hand from last night's poker after dark. It's in the second segment where she picks up jacks. Make sure to watch the reactions. web page

Hellmuth flopping top two pair to Greenstien's set and pushing his chips in really fast.

There are so many others but I can't think of one that beats these two off the top of my head.

Mike Matusow pushing into Laak's flopped King high flush on HSP.

That red headed kid from the WSOP crying, "i made one mistake... i played perfect for two days."

David Cross winning on that celebrity poker show against that overly serious douchebag with a "poker coach" and giving out Bananas to the crowd.

Hellmuth's "Guy can't even spell poker" rant
Hellmuth's "If there wasn't luck involved I guess I'd win every one" speech
Hellmuth's blow up after losing to Annie Duke

Pretty much anything where Hellmuth goes crazy.

Ted Lawson thinking he had a straight in that WSOP Omaha Donkament that he ended up winning...

Jamie Gold's "Top Top!" moment....

Pretty much any individual Hellmuth quote makes for great comedy.

Equally funny, from that same event:

Freddy Deeb calls Lawson's all-in.
Lawson: I've got a full house.
Deeb: Me too.

Lawson then flips over the worst possible FH and proudly exclaims "Fives full"!

I have to side with Phil on that one though, all-in with KJ is as boneheaded and clueless as it gets.

I think it was an Omaha event at the 2005 WSOP. Well into the final table some guy who hasn't played a hand all day goes all-in and gets busted by Ivey. There's a bit of table talk where someone mentions it was the first hand that guy played. Phil responds with "so it'll be like he never left".

I have no idea why it cracked me up so much, it's not that funny or anything. I think it was just the completely dry Phil Ivey delivery.
