It wasn't just a raise, Morgan went ALL IN for 3.4 Million chips, Smirnov had nearly identical stack going into the hand.

aah k, but still there are like a ton of hands he beats and villain is playing them like this
dont play the 1Drop if your afraid of getting coolered and stuff

So he just flatted when only losing to aces full? I guess phua had an Oreo and ate it and Phil just happened to rewatch rounders last night...

Lots of ppl who will never see $1M combined in their entire life talking shit itt

just saying most of these ppl earned their seat in this game via a poker career even if they didnt post the whole buyin themselves. obv they have insights into the game that most ppl do not. most of this sounds like stack envy to me.

for the record im prob never folding quads there but the AQ hand is standard Hellmuth and not completely insane imo.

+1, chances of the other player there having aces is not great. The best part of this tournament to me is commenting from the sidelines to friends and on the boards, similar to a baseball game you might attend to watch.

Haven't seen anyone with stack envy in this thread, just people watching the event and commenting with the sideline responses that are appropriate. I think you are reading too much into what you think people are doing rather than what is really happening. It is an exciting event to watch and comment on, much like a sporting event. When I go to a football game and I see a bad play called by the coach, it is obviously talked about by the people I am with even though the coach obviously has more insight than me in general.

But it is.

Good to see treysfull21 play like an internet player and stack off with KK against the most obvious AA of all time. Was not worth the risk of a big stack. GG dude.

Yeh totally understand your logic, just avoid all situations that can win you tournaments. wp

Tricket FTWWWWW

lets gooooooooo antonio!

Is it me or is Josh Arieh the biggest douche of all time ? David Einhorn, the billionaire who tried to buy the Mets in the offseason, pledged to donate all of his winnings to charity. Now keep in mind, he's at the final table, his donation could be $1.2M or $18.3M (or somewhere in between).
Arieh tweets something to the affect of "Let's all give the billionaire in the 9 seat a round of applause for donating .2% of his net worth to charity"---Obvious sarcasm.

First of all, does Arieh think that people receiving charity care where it comes from? Not to mention like I said above, the donation could be as much as $18,000,000 if he somehow ships this thing so who is Arieh to come out with a comment like that?
IMO he's just bitter because he used to be somewhat relevant in poker and no longer can even keep up with the game (by his own admission)...... Thoughts ?

P.S. Einhorn made a deep run in the 2006 main event and donated his 600k+ to charity that year as well.

lol at above.

Looks like people made bad predictions itt! Not many favorits left... Was routing for Ivey for my part...
