Poker legend Phil Ivey lost to an amateur with an 83% chance of winning the hand. That amateur won $2.5 million and helped bring a generation of paying opponents into poker.

In the video below, Ivey relives the moment an ace ended his tournament and explains what he was trying to hide from the cameras.

“Do not show how disappointed you are, do not let the world see this.”

Ten players remained in the 2003 World Series of Poker. Ivey went all in with a full house against Chris Moneymaker, an accountant who had qualified online. The final card gave Moneymaker a better full house.

Ivey finished tenth for $82,700. Moneymaker went on to win the title, giving everyone watching at home a reason to believe they could beat the professionals too.

New players flooded into poker. For experienced pros like Ivey, that meant more opponents with money and little experience. Poker sites grew, sponsorship deals followed, and Ivey benefited from the boom.

Years later, he also admitted he should have folded earlier in the hand. He could acknowledge his mistake even though the eventual outcome helped his industry.

When an amateur beats the best and everyone rushes to copy him, who really makes the money: the newcomers, the professionals waiting for them, or the casinos taking a cut either way?

When Tony Gwynn talks hitting I think everyone should stop what they’re doing and listen.

This is such a beautiful conversation- it brought me back to when hip-hop could simply give people their flowers, collaborate, andwithout everything becoming negative or divisive.

Just listening to Bun B talk about Drake’s rise, his first encounter with him, and the story involving his wife at the concert was refreshing.
We so need more of this, uplifting the genre and the people who continue to uplift it.

For the last two years, I believe most of the love for Drake has come from fans and content creators. So hearing someone from within the culture speak about him with genuine respect just hits different.

Sometimes it’s good to remember what hip-hop sounds like when appreciation is louder than negativity🪓🦉

Kanye West heard Eminem's verse on "Forever" and canceled two days of appointments to rewrite his own. Lil Wayne heard it and scrapped his verse too.

That's how competitive this record was. And the wildest part is that it almost didn't exist.

Boi-1da built the beat in early 2008 for Kardinal Offishall, who passed on it. The rejected instrumental got sold to a Toronto kid best known for playing Jimmy on Degrassi, who turned it into a mixtape song called "I Want This Forever."

That kid was Drake. When the remix dropped on August 27, 2009, he'd been signed to Young Money for about ten weeks and had never released an album.

He still got the opening verse.

Why? Because it was his song. LeBron James needed a lead single for his "More Than a Game" documentary, the label needed star power, and Drake's camp turned that leverage into the greatest co-sign in rap history. A rookie's name listed first, ahead of Kanye, on a track he technically owned.

The other three verses on that song came from artists holding 27 Grammys between them. The first verse came from a guy whose debut album was still ten months away.

Seventeen years later, the guy rapping over the reject beat became the most streamed artist of the entire era.

Gotta give Auston Matthews that

He’s the only Team USA superstar, on a Canadian team, who hasn’t asked to be traded & most would have predicted he would be the first
