I'm Chris Hanson, alongside the man, the myth, the legend, Joe Stapleton.
- I am shocked that you called me a man, you know why? Last week, my Xbox broke, and I cried. - You know, I actually believe that. We're bringing you cash game action from Thunder Valley in NorCal. - But I feel like today, if we play long enough, I'm gonna get all the money. - Thunder Valley, isn't that where the Bluths built their model home skrill casino south africa? Pretty sure it was. - [Chris] They walk to the cage, they hand them cash, they give them chips, and here's what they have bought in for. Doc Sands buying in for the maximum here tonight at $20,000. - [Joe] Welcome to the show, Kelly Winterhalter. Winterhalter sounds like a good way to get frostbite. - [Chris] Sounds like a character from Game of Thrones. - [Joe] Winterhalter is coming. - So, Phil, are you superstitious ever? - Superstitious? - Yeah, do you have any good luck charms? - I believe in good luck. - Yeah? - If I have a particular shirt on when I won a world series tournament, you're gonna see that shirt a lot. - You have lucky shirts and unlucky shirts? - No, but I mean, then I lose track. - Yeah. - But during the series, if there's a shirt that I win with, I keep that one. I'll wear it multiple times. - Do you remember the underpants that you were wearing when you won the World Series? - [Chris] Pocket Jacks for Markholt. - Actually, I didn't have underpants on when I won the main event. - Oh, that's TMI. - [Joe] BVDTMI. - We did not need to know that one. - I would not have thought that Phil was a commando kinda guy. - [Chris] We are welcomed again with the presence of the world's greatest, Phil Hellmuth calls with six, seven of hearts. - I just didn't have time to do laundry during the main event. (table laughs) Gotta have somebody do it. - [Chris] King, king, eight the flop. - [Joe] Jack's doing just fine. - I think it's unlucky to be superstitious. - How much? Three? - Six. - Nobody ever gets that. It just goes whoosh, right over their head. - [Joe] Phil raising on this board? He is never raising with a king. - You get it, Kelly? - What? - You didn't get it. - What? - It's unlucky to be superstitious. - I get it. - Maybe the problem is it's not funny. - [Chris] Another king on the turn, so there is no story that Hellmuth is telling that Markholt will believe now. - It's ironic. - [Joe] How's it going repping that king, Phil? - [Chris] Cause you would totally bet quads here, wouldn't you, Phil? That's what he wants him to think. - $750. - [Chris] $750, the bet from Hellmuth. - [Joe] And Lee Markholt is going to fold his hand exactly never. - [Chris] There's the call. - Lee's tough to beat, man. Tough to beat. - [Chris] Queen on the river. - I got it. - [Joe] Pocket jacks. Tough to beat, tough to beat. With seven high. - I picked the wrong time. - Nice hand. - I let you bluff me once, and I said, "All right, now, I'm gonna get him." - What's the uh... - That is Grips, a poker training site. - [Chris] Wow, Kelly Winterhalter. She's been on the show five minutes, she's already doing plugs. - Jeez, sister. - Grips poker training. - It's new, fairly new? - No, it's been around. Yeah. - [Chris] Poker night is brought to you by Sit & Go 2.0.

We have cross-country skiing stories happening. Cross-country skiing is literally the least fun thing you can do in the snow, and I'm including freezing to death. - [Chris] Would you stop talking, I'm trying to listen to their discussion. 700 bucks back to Porter. - [Phil] You can fold eight high on that one. - Eight high? If I had eight high, I'd have to bluff. Do something silly, like put all my chips in. - [Joe] Hey, you know what's really easy about cross country skiing? - [Chris] What's that? - [Joe] Not going. - Wow. - [Lee] There we go. There we go. - There goes all my chips. - [Joe] Wow, okay. - [Chris] Now that's a string call. - I'm gonna play one card. (table exclaims) - Jesus! - Here we go. - [Joe] Three 10's for Porter. Yikes. - He might be the best. - I'll take 5,000. Well played, Rep. - [Joe] You know that's not the only big hand representative Porter has won here. - [Chris] That is correct, Mr. Stapleton. The $1,650 No Limits main event here at Poker Night in America a year ago in Thunder Valley brought in 276 entrants for a total prize pool of just over 400,000. - [Joe] Wow, Throwback Thursday here at Poker Night in America. Look how young they all looked. They've got Phuoc Nguyen, Kathy Stahl, Robert Pacleb, that old chestnut. Oh, don't forget second place finisher Duke Lee. The Duke! - [Chris] I forgotten about the Duke. Duke's a great guy. Bought me dinner with some of his winnings. No he didn't, but I wish he did. And yeah, Rep Porter. The main event champion one year ago here at Thunder Valley when Poker Night in America came a calling. $88,000. That's probably why he made all the action with Ace, because he knew he already had money in the bank. - [Joe] You know he runs hot, right here at Thunder Valley. Good ole Ralph Rep Porter. We'll miss you, I mean congratulations.
