POKER Pro LOSES & Then Does THIS??? [SHOCKING Ending]
Published 2024-02-06
It’s the epic Game of Gold finale produced by GGPoker! Dan Cates, Fedor Holz, Yoh Viral, Kyna England, and Maria Ho are battling it out for the $456,000 first prize in a winner takes all Sit & Go. Who will be crowned the Game of Gold champion?
When you have a draw and think your opponent is capable of bluffing the flop, turn, and river then check-raising all-in on the flop and the turn becomes a much better option than check-calling.
Dan Cates also known as Jungleman is a 33 year old from the USA and is regarded by many as one of the best poker players in the world both online and live. He has played in all the high stakes poker cash games around the world for many years. He has over $12,000,000 in live tournament earnings putting him in the top 80 on the all time money list. He famously won the World Series Of Poker (WSOP) $50,000 Players Championships (regarded as one of the hardest poker tournaments to win) in 2021 and again in 2022.
Josh Arieh is a professional poker player from America. He has over $12,000,000 in live tournament earnings, putting him in the top 100 on the all-time money list. He has 6 WSOP bracelets and finished 3rd the 2004 World Series of Poker Main Event.
Filmed in Seoul, South Korea and hosted by experienced poker broadcaster Ali Nejad, Game of Gold combines high stakes poker with survival reality TV. Over the course of the 12 episodes, the sixteen participants competed across various poker formats, including Sit & Go and Heads-Up games, Indian Poker and a standard tournament poker game.
The participants included Daniel Negreanu “KidPoker”, Jason Koon, Fedor Holz “CrownUpGuy”, Kevin Martin, Kyna England, Josh Arieh, Daniel Cates “Jungleman”, Lukas Robinson “RobinPoker”, Nikita Luther, Charlie Carrel “Epiphany77”, Johan Guilbert “YoH ViraL”, Olga Iermolcheva, David Williams, Andy Tsai “Andy Stacks”, Michael Soyza, and Maria Ho.
The final six players competed in a winner-take-all format SNG. This was unique as it meant there was no ICM (Independent Chip Model) pressure on any of the poker players.

🔍 Pre-flop:
Josh Arieh is in the lojack with J9 of spades and min-raises to 80,000. It folds around to Dan Cates in the big blind who makes the call with A8 of clubs.
💸 Flop - Jc 7h 5d
On the flop, Cates opts to check to the aggressor. Arieh fires out a continuation bet of 80,000 with his top pair. Unfazed, Cates makes the call with ace-high and a backdoor flush draw.
💣 Turn - 2c
A second club on the turn gives Cates the nut flush draw and once more he checks. Arieh, still with top pair continues to be the aggressor in the hand and fires out a second barrel to the tune of 200,000. Cates, now with the nut flush draw puts in another call.
🌊 River - 6c
The river brings in the third club which now gives Cates the nut flush. He has to decide how to extract maximum value from Arieh. But what will the online poker heads-up specialist do? Check or bet? Watch this poker video to find out!

Do YOU think Josh Arieh’s jam on the river was too light? 🔥

Jungle looking like an Elton John Leprechaun!
-
Love the videos Jonathon but this title was a little bit of click bait
-
He wasn't serious when he said it. He hugged everyone first, then it was like, an awkward moment but not seriousl
-
At least he gave everyone a hug before saying F*** you.
-
Josh Arieh looks like a completely different person. If I didn't see his name, I wouldn't have recognized him.
-
Your videos are always great! Thanks for the entertainment and theoretic input!
-
The way he said fuck you guys was not because he lost the hand. It's something else.

Jonathan, congrats on the win.

I would play my normal game but I would take slightly more risks, and then hope for the best. Like any other Tournament.
-
Nit? Chasing like that every time you are in this spot will cost you a ton of money. Yes it works out roughly 20% of the time but come on, the math is off.
-
is that a Liverpudlian accent on the leprechaun?
-
Murr from impractical jokers has a poker utube page?
-
I certainly wouldn’t get as short-stacked as JA was.
