Damn, this is a huge pot.
River - 7
Kim goes home.
Needs a 9 and only a 9
Kim gets $2.4M in 7th place.
Goodbye Kim.
Wasicka has over 15M in chips now.
Thats tough luck. You can't fold 99 on that board on the flop. Just bad luck.
Good job by Kim though, 22-years-old and getting $2 million isn't bad.![]()
Yeah no , thats a pretty sweet deal.
Perfect case scenario for Wasicka.. get him to commint preflop with small-reasonable raise then get a paired up flop that hit no one and then you are walking the yellow brick road with your QQ once the 99 thinks he is golden.
I might have folded my 9-9 or small raise or even call to see where I am at... Risky and bad awful play IMO.
I think calling there is a horrible move. What do you do when a scare card like that Jack comes? I think Kim played it fine. On a board like that more times than not, that bet is a continuation bet and the reraise takes the pot down right then and there.
Wasicka vs Lee
J-10-4
Lee checks
Wasicka bets 1.2M
Gold raises preflop, Lee and Cunningham call.
Flop A-4-6 (two spades)
Gold raises, they fold.
I like a call in this spot to see what the initial raiser does next. AQ to A10 is very possible. even KQ...
You don't lose much $ but I personally think you gain a lot of information from one call, but that is just me.
Fold, call, or raise are all considerable plays. But then again there is so much amgibuity with a flop that is low paired and one off set card. so wat gives.
Butler limps in, Lee calls, Cunningham raises to 1.4M, everyone folds.
Butler raises to 1M preflop and everyone folds.
I hate the call because it eats up so much of your stack you're pretty close to being commited. Puting 40% of your chips into the pot then fold to one over on the turn is really really really weak, IMO. You're just too late in a tournament to be calling for information when the bets are so big in relation to your stack. I think losing 40% of your stack at that point is a big loss. I'd play AK the way Wasicka played it. Had there been a cal on the flop, I'm firing with AK again on the turn. Kim has to think that he's good at that point.
Cunningham raises to 600K, Gold calls.
Flop Q-4-7 rainbow

Come on, San Antonio.
Man, Gold is dominant with his chiplead right now. It'll be hard to crack that for anyone.
Just bringing this to a current page so I don't have search again & again for it.
The money difference between 1st and 2nd is so huge, I'd be gunning like crazy for #1.
