Episode 6 - The Takeover

As a filmmaker, I've never really had a 9 to 5 job. That may sounds pretty cool, but it also means that I didn't know where my next paycheck was coming from. I wanted to meet someone making the same kind of hustle. We talked to a lot of players, but none had a story as crazy as our subject. At age 21, Nick Schulman became the youngest person to win the World Poker Tour, taking home $2,142,000, then lost it all within a year. I couldn't believe it. Where does two million dollars go?

Battling depression and anxiety, Nick became an inspiration as someone who struggles everyday and is open to expressing his emotions. On his quest to make back his money, old habits are hard to break: expensive dinners, insane nights at the club, and of course- girls. Nick went from having it all to having to start over from scratch. In a game where the stakes don't get higher, how is it possible to keep from going broke? And what happens if Nick wants to just call it quits?

bump for this

oh here we go http://www.mtv.ca/tvshows/world-of-jenks/video_content.jhtml?id=1649776

his g/f (I think? Sophie the massage girl) is one of the hottest women i've ever seen in person. Nick Schulman is the fucking man.

all I see here is this nick guy being depressed and shit, is that supposed to be the point?

thought it was a pretty depressing watch and overall it seemed very true to the reality of poker

i'm about 7 mins in and it was really odd for me to hear someone tell his story about his panic attack in school. he described exactly what happened to me and why i had to quit school.

since it's related here is the lp interview i did with him(5 years ago):

http://www.liquidpoker.net/pokerarticle/1060/Interview_with_TheTakeover


random fact:

after winning the wpt event he was asked to go on letterman, but he turned it down

howd he lose the 2 million he won? playing high stakes?

his FTP ptr has him up like 700k....

ptr doesn't go all that far back

yea nvm after watching 5 minutes ive realized he lost it all playing chinese poker and paper rock scissors. what a degen.

wow, thats hilarious

damn the one with the mma fighter was really good

maybe it was in poor taste.

edit: just finished watching and he said he was depressed before poker. i guess i did judge him a little to quickly. poker is certainly not for him though. hope he finds happiness in something else.

sick rigged. " currently unavailable "

anthony pettis is a beast too. hes gonna be a star i think. his striking is very fast and continues to improve. hope he gets a little less flashy and a lot more technical with his boxing. in his last fight though being able to shutdown a great wrestler like shane roller is super impressive.

war showtime!

anyone got the epic HH with him and Hallingol? Like 1400 bb pot and takeover folds the river with only like 100bb behind or something

amazing episode. sophie is definitely attractive, not out of the ordinary level of hot, but something about her is unbelievably sexy

Takeover lost a lot of his money in highstakes live games. I think he had one sick night where he was playing some huge limit holdem game 3 handed with david oppenheim and a big fish and lost like a million.

Love this show. The MMA one is really good too

he lost a lot of it playing 3 handed 4/8k LHE w oppenhiem and ted forrest shortly after WPT

nick was the big fish apparently.

Yea I am sure roman's version is the right one I heard mine 2nd hand a long time ago.

Its certainly in keeping with Schulmans admission that he became a huge degen after scooping the $2m.

i remember i was at the taj in AC with some friends in january 2006 and nick schulman was playing 3 handed 4k/8k 2-3 tables over from me. i know for sure one guy was oppenheim, i heard there was a fish in the game but its possible it was forrest. i dont think it was cause at the time i definitely knew who ted forrest was but didnt know oppenheim so i assume it started out as a rando but then forrest joined later or something.

either way he completely floored the 2 million +more, got staked for a bit, had a solid piece of eugene katchalov in the 15k he won for 2.5m to rebound him a lot, now hes crushing again

the guy doesnt seem too happy

good episode. Really enjoyed it a lot.

Thankyou sir, looked everywhere to no avail.

i can actually relate to a lot of the stuff he seems to be going through

great episode though and it seemed to put out a decent image for poker players by the end

i was sitting 2 booths behind them when they were shooting the lunch scene in the sushi restaurant.

no shit!?

i was at naked fish once and i saw some poker players

then i went to tokyoto and realized everyones the fish...

+1

just watched this one, very emotional. Never really gave any thought to all the behind the scenes people in MMA - was cool.

one of the few videos i've ever watched that makes huge sense

edit: saw 3 of em too bad 3-5 are not available at the moment
hope that they are actually all real and not like every other mtv make up shit


havent seen something so insightful in a very long time
espacially the episode with the kid with the authism

he was at my table at PCA this year, and i randomly bumped into him at the spa. seemed like a nice guy

This belongs in the rofl thread.
Am I the only who finds miserable people funny?
Seriously tho,
Nick schulman is retardedly self-indulgent. Lord will not have mercy on his soul.

Ep2 is very good too - best so far.

season finale is out

very moving hour long episode.

Jenks really makes a damn good documentary.

I watch a lot of documentaries and Jenks is a really good show. Much better than most of the trash on MTV or any TV for that matter.

There was a really good episode a while back on this dude who had autism as well which I recommend. I just watched ShowTime, Black and Gold, and The Takeover.

(from http://www.pocketfives.com/f7/thetakeover-vs-h@%a3%a3inggol-61380 but i know theres a 2p2 thread too, didn't bother to look for it tho)

rare footage of Nick during that pot

Wow, hand is sick, also lots of evidence to how the games played out back in the day

The only thing that bugged me about this show is the Maino episode.
There is a scene where Maino pushes jenks around and tries to choke him.
This entire scene seemed very unrealistic. Because either Jenks is really pussy or it's all staged to make Maino look hard. Then the show just continues on like it didn't happen and all is well.
Either way it discredits the show and him.

which one is the maino episode?

Season 2: Episode 1 - Live for today, pray for tomorrow

Season 2: Episode 2 - It's prom night baby

Season 2: Episode 3 - Facing your fears

Season 2: Episode 4 - The speech, the move & the midnight walk

Season 2: Episode 5 - Twists and turns

Season 2: Episode 6 - Growing pains

Season 2: Episode 7 - Under pressure

Season 2: Episode 8 - Obstacles & opportunities

Season 2: Episode 9 - Mac, models & Chad's big move
