It's lucky as and made for an easy "suck out". No skill required.
AA Vance Selbst
77 Gaelle Baumann
Flop Ac 7c 5c
Turn 7 quads while Vance boats up AAA77
River 4
I did not see how Baumann went on to get eliminated like only a day later. WTF?

Ah 4h Ott does a min raise
Q/10 Pollack in big blind calls.
Flop Qd 9d 9h
Pollack checks, Ott bets 1 million (into 6 million pot, cmon) of course Ott calls.
Turn 4c Pollack bets 2.5, Ott calls
River 6d.
Pollack checks
Ott tries to represent flush and steal it with bet of 6.8 million.
Pollack tanks then makes the big call.
I think Ott needed to bet more. OTOH he made it look like a flush bet.
Good call by Pollack. Pot 19 million total so he profited about 11 million.
Ott should have went all in on the river no way Pollack can call
Concur. Good observation.
Pollack barely called as it was.
Brutal turn for Old English Guy with colorful suit.
AA vs A /10
Flop A 5 7
Turn a freaking 10.
A hand or two before that he really misplayed his A/10 that flopped top pair vs 88. Especially his small turn bet.
Farking runner runner of 4 5 6 7 or similar.
Really set himself up for the above huge pot loss.
That ace 10 vs aces hand was brutal, but his lack of skill caused him to lose the most in that hand
Basically all it is. They want to keep the fantasy alive that the *pros* have some great *strategy* that wins.
9/10 Blumstein
9/J Pollack
Flop is 9 9 Q.
Turn is a farking 10.
Pollack makes a big laydown on the river. However had Blumstein not gotten his lucky 10, no doubt there would have been an All In and Pollock would have been 1st and Blumstein dropping to 2nd or lower. Or otherwise the worst case scenario for Pollack a chop. So the 10 was basically a one or two outer for Blumstein. What great skill LOL.
Of course when they go on break the ESPN phucksticks Negrano and Helmuth do not talk about this hand one iota. Instead they ramble on about some pretty insignificant hand with multi colored suit guy. Blathering about how the *pros* exploited Hesp. STFU! Yes Hesp did indeed really misplay a couple turn hands, but he ended up 4th while New Jersey boy won 1st. So much for the *pros*.
Huge check and then no call by Pollack on the turn and river.
Now that was skill.
Should of wore a larger shirt tbh
I think it was the hand before that which had him ready to blow off chips on the AAA hand.
It was also A/10 iirc.
Pollack had 88.
Board went something like 10 5 6....9..7
Hesp failed to bet big on the flop and then made a really small bet on the turn and Pollock hung around for the river and sucked then made a fairly large bet. Hesp called.
That having been said, Blumstein slow played his AA from 1st position.
When the ten hit the turn to give Multi two pair it was a rainbow board with only a two gapper straight draw. A lot of players -pro or not- would have thought that Aces up was golden there. Still agree with you he should have been on the lookout for set but still, that was a brutal turn.
yea.. call the turn, check call the river to limit losses
