Poker "Lost Media"
For the past couple of months, I've been reliving some old boom-era stuff from the 2000s, and I've been disturbed to find that some things seem to have simply disappeared completely.
I know this content must still exist out there in personal collections, and perhaps a thread like this can help it resurface?
First up: WSOP broadcasts
PokerGo now has just about everything ESPN WSOP on its channel (though the non-paywalled uploads of the 2003-2006 broadcasts are plagued by serious audio issues and episodes being annoyingly smooshed together in a "by day" format). Can't comment on the versions behind the paywall since I haven't seen them, but I hope they are of better audio quality?
One glaring omission is the WSOP 2005 Tournament of Champions. That's a shame because this one had some classic moments, like Dannenmann with the Christmas gifts and his tirade against Hellmuth. Matusow won a million for taking down this tourney, and yet it's almost like it never happened. I actually can't even find a single clip from this show.
Anybody have other examples of stuff that's disappeared?

James Vogl vs Dan Arieh (WSOP 2004), hero folding flush vs full house. I thought it was the sickest **** back in the day, but nowadays it might be just a decent spot.
YouÂ’re welcome.
Also, thanks for reminding me, and Thank God this still exists. Televised pokerÂ’s Hendrix at Monterey moment. CanÂ’t wait til I get home, and for the first time, I sincerely wish I could still drink.
Watch it from the beginning all the way through, just trust me.

- Someone hero calling with a crap hand in an EPT in the 2000's knowing their opponent insta mucks if they were caught bluffing. Flips cards to show they called with a hand that could never win at showdown, player who was bluffing realizes he had the best hand and tries to retrieve it from the muck.
- Poker documentary that featured "leatherass" as the successful player and some other rando online kid who was wheeling a cart around because he was down so bad.
Sorry I don't remember the specifics of the above. Just remember searching for them and not being able to find them.

There's a load of this stuff available on YouTube, though I'm not sure it's the full library or how you'd even confirm what the full library was at this point.
Thank you Poker Gods for re-uploading the 200/400 Weed Brownies video!
