And I repeat what I said in my first post: I sincerely hope all those bad beats/whinner/morons learn a lesson from this guy, and stop crying about bubbling a $3 SNG, or go run under mom's sheets because you got 3 outed in the 1r FT.

Kudos to Mathclub's post :)

ANDRE but how is ur face look like when u limp with aa or raise small then slowplay and than the board is 729 and u calla allin bet and the guy show u 22 or 77 bcuz u didnt push them out preflop with a nice raise allin???? than u screaming AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa but it never comess cause u played it bad and didnt go all in to make em fold. then the joke on ur face

arg this tilts me. What the people with the *badges* are saying is that responses like this come from SCARED MONEY.

Scared money juts monkey ships it to play safe.

Clearly Matt chose to extract max value where he could. And if he didn't get unlucky he is in the drivers seat to win the whole thing.

You are welcome to your opinion, but can you guys that are saying you are scared money just say "I'd be scurred about the money" rather than criticizing the hand? It'll make it a much easier read

I am trying to state the obvious that if this hand was played so perfect that other people are saying why would this thread have been created? thus another supporting argurment that shipping it pre would be better than playing it out postflop as indicated in other posts...

We need a new badge that says "results oriented poster"

The fact is took a huge bad beat on the river for a pot that was nothing other than life changing.
I think his reaction and his lip quivering told you just how much he wanted it, and how hard he had tried and well he had played throughout the gruelling 8 days of poker. I don't think many people who wanted it as bad as him would have come back in that room and taken the bad beat graciously. Should be very proud of the way you handled yourself.
Made me lol Duhamel i mean he doesnt have to feel bad or sympathetic to Matt, but at least rise your fucking arse up off your seat and shake his hand, that and his general reaction after pissed me off, realise u gave somebody the worst beat they will ever take in their life.

Exactly this, he comes across as very arrogant, and a bit of a dick really.

I hope someone gave Matt a big hug.

lol @ ppl who allways think that the guy who lost the hand should have played it differently. just forget it : they hero is just unfckwithable, a total sick agressive over-killing grinder like, one of the very best mtt player for sure in the money in this event, if not the sickest of them.


holy crap, i never saw this video b4. i almost cried for MCMATTO. sooosososososooo sick fdgbesrberg�gv

Why do you guys constantly feed trolls? Just point and laugh at them...

Appst08 u took the words/thoughts right out of my mouth you couldn't be more right taking the "safe" line and 5b shove is soooooo results oriented crap way of thinking, I thought in poker we want to make the best +EV choice when faced with a decision. mcmatto obv owned Duhamel couldn't have played the hand better and extracted max value out of the hand. On a side note being results oriented with Nov 9 looming prob easy to do. WP mcmatto gg and mark it down a bracelet is def in your future.

I'm sorry but you have zero chance dude, wow, amazing I just hope you get better and one day realize the stupidity of what you are saying

very dramatic moment in your life Matt. you did good and should be proud.

He really did make the perfect play and it's hard to watch that hand play out. Matt did a terrific job to make it look like he was making a move, which got the call from JJ on the turn imo. I can only imagine how difficult that river was after so many days and hands everyone had to survive up to that point.

who is duhamel? is he a online reg? young and aggro figured he was a reg online , anyway sick way for affleck to go out , im in no position to say if either played there hand wrong , they both had very aggro images and both had pretty big hands , obv the result of matt having AA and gettin very ul is pretty sick , good run fwiw to affleck, just like all FT bubbles going out like this stings, and being the ME of the world series well....... hurts just a bit more, blah

Some of those results would be automatic Full Tilt red Pro,more money etc...Why does it have to be scared money that he wins that pot pre he would be 3rd in Chips for the November 9?...He did play the hand great and of course a double up was optimal and being 80/20 fav is the best possible situation you want to be....I don't think I would be able to handle it as Classy as Matt though cuz no river can be sicker with that much on the line...

Seriously 80/20 fav is the best possible situation but that still means there's a 20% chance he's out of the tournament. Really when Duhamel 4 bet, Affleck should have just folded because if he 5 bets pre-flop and Duhamel calls, he's still only 80/20. And who wants to risk the 20% chance of being eliminated???????? After all AA is only one pair!

at least 5 people should be banned based off of posts itt alone

affleck = paul magriels son

just to let u all know matt could of saved himself all that trouble if he makes a big raise pre instead of trying to trap him so matt cant blame anyone but himself cause there is no way hes calling with JJ if Affleck makes a huge raise. But all in all matt did get him to put his money in as a 20% chance and played it well but he might still be in it if he just makes a big raise pre
