There are often interesting or down right bizarre hands played out at poker tables around the world, both online and live. From horrific bad beats to perfectly timed bluffs, poker has it all.

Not all hands are equal, however, some deserve a place in their own Hall of Fame, which is why PokerNews has looked through the history books and come up with a list of five poker hands that will always have a place in our hearts.

Doyle Brunson’s WSOP Main Event Winning Hands

The World Series of Poker was only in its seventh year in 1976, yet it featured one of the most memorable hands of all time. While heads-up in the Main Event against Jesse Alto, Doyle “Texas Dolly” Brunson called a raise with ten-deuce of spades; Alto held an unsuited ace-jack.

On an ace-jack-ten flop, Alto bet the size of the pot and Brunson moved all in. Alto called and was a huge favorite to double his stack. A deuce on the turn improved Brunson to a still second best two pair, but another ten on the river gifted Brunson a full house, the title of champion and $220,000 in prize money.

The following year, Brunson found himself heads-up in the WSOP Main Event against Bones Berland. Both players went to a ten-eight-five flop in a limped pot and checked. The turn was a deuce, Brunson bet, Berland raised all in and Brunson called.

It was eight-five for Berland against ten-deuce for Brunson. The river was a ten, improving Brunson to a full house and winning him $340,000 and back-to-back WSOP Main Event titles.

Amazingly, Brunson almost made it three WSOP bracelets won with ten-deuce but he was one pip out in 2005 when he won his 10th bracelet with ten-three.

Chris Moneymaker’s Bluff Against Sammy Farha

All eyes were on an accountant named Chris Moneymaker when the 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event was heads up. Moneymaker had won his seat to the $10,000 event via a $38 satellite on PokerStars and was now vying for a $2.5 million prize with seasoned pro Sammy Farha.

Moneymaker went on to beat Farha to show that anyone can beat the best at poker if Lady Luck is on their side, but it could have been a very different story had the following bluff not worked.

On a flop, Farha held for top pair and Moneymaker, , for nothing but king-high and a backdoor flush draw. Farha checked and Moneymaker checked behind. The turn made things interesting because it gave Moneymaker an open-ended straight draw and a king-high flush draw.

Farha led for 300,000 only to see Moneymaker raise to 800,000. Farha called and the dealer put the onto the river. Farha checked and Moneymaker moved all in, covering Farha’s stack.

“You must have missed your flush draw, huh?” quizzed Farha.

Despite correctly guessing Moneymaker’s hand, Farha eventually mucked, Moneymaker raked in the huge pot and the ball was firmly in his court.

“Huh?” was a puzzled Neagreanu’s response.

The pot was now $408,700 and Negreanu eventually called, gifting a massive $575,700 pot to Hansen.

There’s nothing like an all in showdown in poker, and in this insane hand from EPT Prague in 2015, one player’s preflop shove triggered an avalanche of all ins in a wild four-player megapot.

Chris Walker, the first to act at the table with just under a million in chips, decided to go all in holding pocket Jacks.

Marc MacDonnell, with only a few blinds left in his short stack and 8-9 of diamonds, also pushed all in.

Then things got interesting. Ilkin Amirov, with just over six million, called. Two more players got out of the way, but Javier Gomez shoved in his 2,590,000 with pocket Queens. Amirov, who happened to have the best hand at the table with pocket Kings, wasted little time in calling to create a second huge sidepot in addition to the main pot.

After every player flipped, Amirov was a 52 percent favorite – but after a flop of three spades, 6-9-Ace, Javier Gomez took a slight lead with a flush draw.

A two of diamonds on the turn only helped Amirov, who needed to avoid Gomez’s flush on the river or a set for MacDonnell or Walker.

The room was dead silent for the flop – which was a brutal card for three men at the table. The dealer flipped a six of diamonds on the river, and Amirov’s pocket Kings were good enough to knock three opponents out of the tournament. He won 3,820,000 million chips on the hand, and would go on to finish third, good for a payday of €391,910.
