    My wife doesn't play and just commented "wow that's wreckless" when Waco got called on the turn with 33. I have to agree. How does Shawn make that call - no matter what is bet on river, doesnt he have to call rest of chips with that 33? Maybe I understand it if no reraise pre flop, but just can't ever make that call myself???

    sick or dumb/lucky??

    Waco, congrats!

    I don't think he called 33 on the flop & turn for the F of it... whatever he was thinking, he was on point. You could tell he sweated it a ton, just went with his instincts. That Buchanan kid played lights out, gotta give it up to him.

    That 3rd barrel takes a lot of stones... but it's really hard when the guy already called 1 million. Although, the only fault I saw in Waco in that hand was that he should've been eyeballing this guy when the money was pushed in by Buchanan... I mean the canadian kid was obviously getting the screwed put down on him... it wasn't an act, it was true fear he was paying off a monster...his only calling the turn bet of $600k seemed like he was begging for a check down and trying to salvage any chips if he was wrong....that 3rd barrel would've worked about 85-90% of the time. But it's a hard F-ing bet to make so I understand.

    Great WPT episode.
