$4,414,500 Prize Pool at WPT at the Final Table in a Alpha 8 Las Vegas | Part 5

competing for the first place

prize

of about 1.6 million here tonight, as you can see, Fedor Holtz is the chip leader with 7.1 million in chips so far, Shawn Winter of Florida Jack's can't play against Fedor Holtz, did Fedor just retire? Step that? I know granu is going to raise with an ace 8 to 100,000 and a very sexy 87 of spades, yeah it's a sexy hand with the small blind, not a sexy position, I'm not a big fan of this call here. With his short stack it's going to be uncomfor

table

playing against a capable pro like Daniel Neu out of position.

Never call Kathy a short stack. I don't know how to describe her stack when she is the smallest and the flop she has. flop an open straight draw was going to check, they both check Daniel without hitting anything there and the turn card is a King of Clubs now Daniel has the max flush draw Kathy still open here is not excited about the appearance of that King in the turn although he checks again Daniel will pass behind he goes to the river and rivers his flush, he gives Kathy the fourth pair but Daniel Grano gets the maximum flush Kathy wisely checks and Daniel has to bet, of course, 200,000 oh Kathy Come on, cleverly new Grano fools around by taking that pot and staying silent for the moment, yes, six of the seven remaining players are below average in chips.

Daniel trying to do my job for me, that's weird, you know, you don't usually see six out of seven or below average. pointing out the fact that Fedor Holz has so many chips that all the other players at the

table

are below average action on Keith Tilston of Austin Texas Equity The boy is going to raise with the pair of nines to 115 to leave Daniel out Nick goes to fold with Queen 10 of interesting clubs and Kathy and Kush all F but Fedor Fedor doesn't even think about it quickly call with Queen 7 out of suit hoping to get a full house on the flop, he can afford it and the flop is Ace 106 I don't understand where Fedor's full house is, that's a miracle, he didn't catch Keith with the nines.

He's not thrilled with this flop. It's one of those awkward moments where neither betting nor checking is a very attractive option, so Keith will just try to finish the hand and that's it. I'm going to work because Fedor has nothing for once. Oh, it's great when you have a pair of nines or eights and two top cards on the board and you still bet, you have the guts of a poker player and you still have the heart to bet. and it works, it's a beautiful thing, that's what just happened, you're not as excited as I am, you know, continuation bets don't really excite me like they used to, okay, we're going blind here, it's still 25 and 50 Kathy Lany with a decent Queen Jack, everyone has given in to her so far, she's thinking something crazy.

I have a feeling that whatever the NOP is, she has less than 10 blinds, so you can argue that she should go all-in, but she chooses to check. Instead, wisely, now with Shawn Winter he passes A7 on the button. I think it's a sign that Shawn is trying to survive Kathy and Anush a bit without wanting to get involved. Battle of the blinds, yes, the blinds jack8 93 and the flop is a King 109, what's your life? Vader Holtz Kathy must be upset, she would have flopped a straight, of course, and Fedor is going to bet 100,000. Keith just has a low pair in a very coordinating texture.

Here he has the backdoor flush draw to the three. but that's not

part

icularly valuable he's going to make the call here yeah it's interesting the turn card is a queen well of course it is so Fedor has got the straight and looks at everything like he can't believe it himself . he got a ladder once again, I think I bet it's Hogan's Heroes or I don't know what that was. Fedor here is going to bet 150,000 with what is now a straight and Keith you can't think he can compete here and he has no time for you to F Mr.

Tilston, you are running over these guys, 22 year old fashion or Holtz, everything suits you right now, will he take home the championship title and the 1.6 that goes with it? We will discover more of Bagio from now on. take home about 1.6 here tonight second place over a million dollars, there's a lot of money at stake and as you see our chip count, it's really a battle of survival right now as the other six players not named Feder Holtz are just trying to catch up. In a two or three player game, if you manage to survive to second place you will return home with over a million dolls, while if you finish seventh you will get 176,000, so it's a big jump, but there isn't much disparity between our batteries.

Yes, it's very heavy, that's why they're playing a very strategic and cautious style right now. Shawn Winter picks it up. Ace Queen. He raises to 110, but right behind him, Fedor with a pair of royal pocket jacks. Shawn is in the middle of the package pile. In terms of size, he is ahead of Anush and Kathy and would very much like to outlast them, but he will have to make a decision here because Fedor is coming out on top with his pocket jacks now earning 245,000 if the Dynamic I pay scale didn't exist. .I would expect him to come out on top or at least equal here.

I'm really not sure what he will do given the situation. There are only 135 extra to match. Now look at this, he's going to leave this and like you said, it's all about strategy. now, raising, he wants to give away a nickel, no chance, this is fascinating poker at the moment, yes in many situations he would at least call there for 135,000 more, but that would drop him to a stack size close to Kush and Kathy Sean. chooses to retire wants to maintain a disparity in leadership over them moves up the pay scale well, players always say yes, I'm playing to win I want to take the title no, they're not always playing to move up, earn money so they can Play one more year and we attack Shawn again this time with an attractive King Jack of Spades R.

He is going to reach 100 and they are falling behind him. Will he go into action with King Jack of his? He doesn't even want action. He just gave him the pot, he was rewarded for his tight play, perhaps on the last hand. Shawn Winter from Florida plays many big cash games in Florida. He says he won a lot of money in poker. He's one of those guys who likes to look good. through a guy when they are playing he really tries to read it he has those sunglasses on tonight because he says he is having trouble at the table with the lights not being used to it yeah he made a mistake on his hand earlier in the tournament , so he brought his sunglasses here. and using them to obscure his eyes 690 and his vision problems now in this hand Daniel has taken the Ace five of hearts and raised and Nick petrangelo pretty decent King Nine of diamonds with the button now Nick is going to make a triple bet here he is and I really like the hand he selected to make this play.

If he had a suited king 10 or a suited king jack, he would flat call, so he took the best hand that he can't call with and used it for a light three bet. Hoping against all hope, Nanu is not that strong and he is not H, but he is also a 180 and you must have good cards, because they have little pieces and you put three, you will have to put the rest so that your cards were good, ha T spids um, Jack T The Spits, yeah, for him, he could beat that kid. Poker allows him to have it, no, he had good cards, man, pretty good cards.

Queen J, tell him that everything that has been said has been good letters so far, yes. All good cards that will become our champion here tonight. We will return with more. Fedor Holtz actually got 200,000 out once he bought back in and he's made it seem like a great call that we'll take home about 1.6 seconds in a million, but the next player out would only take home 176, so that the heavier tournament folded and Shan Winter has the Button, has the Queen and the diamond raise, he is going to raise a total of 100. Note that Fedor evaluated the stacks of both Shawn and Keith before looking at their cards, now he sees who has a king of five suits and pushes essentially making it a million and they run away.

Fedor holds the 22-year-old and drops the hammer. and since and Sor knows exactly where it is and where the minds of these guys are to put pressure on them at the right moment, now we see an example of why Shawn was so reluctant to get involved going up in the bubble because he knew that Fedor was willing to reach the top. top with a wide range. of hands there he does it with King five of the same suit takes advantage of the fact that right now Shawn only wants to go up the salary scale well once again Fedor is going to win the pot quickly with the Rays the GRE blitz continues from the Young German The Austrian he's just relentless with the aggression against his opponents here whose hands are tied by the pay scale, he jumps to the next hand and when you're in that short stack everything seems to go wrong, you can't make the right move, but right now anush.

Mandavia is thinking about it but doesn't want to, he's spent this entire

final

table trying to outlast Kathy Laney and as a result he's barely played a hand and look, Keith Tilston of Austin, Texas has a real hand with a pair of jacks and he will reach 115. short but right behind him Daniel with a pair of eights Daniel is in the small blind here he is working with about 25 blinds Keith had about 21 so we could see some fireworks here due to the size of the stacks and the positions, well, Daniel is very good, he has raised R.

I'm going to fade, look at this, they raise him to three 15 and now back to Keith, the stock trader, non-professional player, yes, Keith, the non-professional who He plays like one and I know what a pro would do here and that's go all out, let's see if Keith pulls the trigger. I haven't made too many mistakes so far tonight. He's going to go all out. I don't think he should retire me. Now Keith is doing it right again and you said yes. I guess I paid. I did it? That's right, Fedor, the only person he was worried about.

Oh, you've got me crushed. I've never seen it before. What is my triple bet? Yes, I know I felt it was the right time to do it. Look, I always do it at the wrong time, it's crazy. I'm supposed to pay as if old school could work anyway. Well, you also have hits and flops, yeah right, that's true, I haven't done that in at least 20 minutes, yeah, and Daniel chides himself saying. Why did I get into a mess and now need a lot of luck to get out of it, but hit eight of it? We have a Kai for NE granu, a terrible failure for Keith, absolutely stunned, enter the tur bur seven of Hearts.

Nick Petrangelo doubles one of the jacks, so it's an outside one going to the river for Keith Tilston's tournament life, no it's a nine, no help, he'll be our seventh place finisher and cash 176,000 good f with the game Man so soon. As I fade away, I was lucky, that's what I have to say. Source: It was great led by a non-professional player to feel good today, but taking that outside is not one of them, so we're going to stumble on the ly and at our table we have. There are six players left and they seem to find something fun here, let's see, that's a good time to make the three BET right against the button, you should do it slower, although you have to do it very slow, very slow and then just like he does , Yeah. like he had fun with Fedor, probably the best imp and you can put your arm on him sometimes, the only thing you did wrong, yeah, he's too fast, he has to be psyched for this interview, they do it right away, very good, oh KY. he got it good and then he flopped to the eight, that's got to hurt, uh, yeah, I mean, it was pretty standard, you know, we're almost all short stacks except him, I mean, he's got like half the chips. play so you know 8 million in chips Daniel nanu in second chip position the winningest poker player of all time 31 million he has collected over the years what field do we have these last six let's go to the sea of ​​felt the Winter wakes up with a couple of queens here, hello Sean, there aren't many chips he's going to put in the blinds, there are 2550, yes.

Shawn is still trying to minimize his risk of elimination rather than maximizing the amount of chips he could win, that's because he is comfortably above Anush and Cathy and wants to. to move up the pay scale, so he just rips it up on the Pre flop and says, hey, you've got the Kings run, it's good for you. Sean Winter, from Florida, a cash game expert, is playing an

alpha

8 for the second time and the blinds are rising to 30 and 60,000. put your head in the vice start squeezing here we go Shawn Winter with a strong Ace King of Diamonds is starting to heat up Shawn was having trouble reading the board at the beginning of this tournament he misread his hand twice at that time he borrowed a pair of someone's sunglasses around the table this time he brought his from home and now he has an Ace King suited he doesn't want anyone to play with these big hands with them going all in and everyone is folding and now Kathy Lany now she is down to only 300,000 she has picked up ace5 wow she is going to call this yes this is a little suspicious of Kathy she passed up a couple of opportunities to move on Pre flop when she could have won the hand in opposition now she cancels her stack with ace5 off suit and that's not a hand that will do very well against the type of hands that Sha is going to move with pre-flop.

Well, she's way behind at this point. The mother of threesons, the CEO and president of Sun Co, turns to a non-professional player, but she has had great results in poker tournaments before she is on the ropes right now with five cards to come now on the flop put a 2 three 4 all diamonds let's take a look at the first three well it's a queen Jack three two of them diamonds that's good for Shawn Yeah, Shawn wanted a flop of diamonds. He almost got his wish. He almost got a royal flush here. Kathy doesn't look good with this one shift cart.

She is a six of spades, no, so she has the two remaining fives left in the deck. Daniel, the gr, retired with him. five of spades free flop one C five oh boy, it's not going to work for Kathy Lany, she plays the spades on the river and she has to come out with a lot of class there, although she is a good player and takes home 242,000 and so on, Tony, We have five players, which one you remember wouldn't probably do it? We have tied two of our remaining five who re-entered this tournament: Shawn Winter and Fedor Holtz.

They both feel pretty good about that investment after being eliminated once Fader's chip stack was 7.8 million and now Anush Mandavia in the short stack with around 500 and these. The boys are happy to get rid of another chair at the table. Now I can play well. I'm like a really F guy. I can, I can't, I can't play like that, it's really distracting, boy, I can't work. so Nick says the winner complaining let's see what happens next Fedro Holtz first to act picks up the King 10 I will be in my trailer he has been relentless tonight he goes forward again 125 to enter Nick who has a pair of eights I will be In my trailer, later of playing these eights, you're trying to tell us something a little primadonna is that what you're saying, uh, in short, in a trainer behind him with a couple of Tans doing their best right behind him.

Shawn Winter has Ace queen and a tough decision to make, we've seen him make some very tight folds here tonight, yeah don't go broke with the queen in hand, he moves out of the way one four behind the original jackknife, The Austrian is the chip leader. Fedor, you've had enough, how much is it and Nick could obviously be engaged? This is the same situation that happened with Nic granu, yes Nick got a great price here to cancel, although he feels he is probably behind it, he knows Anush could have done it too. Ace King Ace Queen, in which case you would be easily getting the right price to make the call, so cancel the purchase here, but keep in mind that you have to save me and look good here right now, a big favorite to double that Nick has about. three times as many chips so he wouldn't go broke, of course, and here comes the trio on the flop, the eights are hot tonight, Nick has Flo, three of a kind, eights are working like an absolute gin for Nick, just 11 10s left in the deck Fedor retired the 10 of clubs.

We saw the same thing happen with Nanu when she defeated Keith with eights to ja fives on the turn. No help for Anush on the turn. He needs the last 10 of the deck if he wants to survive, no, he is the Queen. of Clubs and Anush is going to be eliminated in fifth place sorry man oh he takes it well he gets up and Kushman Davia, a very respected young professional, from this event he took home a total of 309,000 consecutive starts and These guys are happy. I think it matters, yeah, I'm just saying I was sick and bored right now going to see Lind Gil Tony Dunst, what do you think Tony?

I think this is the tournament Fedor Holtz should lose and considering the way he is playing and running, I don't. I don't expect him to lose well, he faces the great Daniel n Granu, the winningest poker player in the history of the game in second chip position, what a danger at the table, he has a pair of twos, we will make 135 to go with Nick Petrangelo. a little connector of the same suit, you want to splash around with this one don't you? And now Shawn Winter too with a small pair. Wow, he's going all in. Sean with approximately 2021 blinds.

Here you have a hand that doesn't play very well after the flop, so I'm just going to break it to force Daniel to make the decision and it turns out that Shan is actually in a dominant position, so the board says I have no idea, but my chart says Nah and 1.1, you don't want to cancel with a small pair you want. do what Shawn did and push with a small pair, pretty sure the board says full, especially at this time of night, in four-handed poker, salaries are rising, so Shawn, doing the right thing, pushes Daniel Neo out of that hand. starting 2016 you will see DS come out with a chart with no chart, man there is no chart it's just a mystery, there is no chart on the internet?

It doesn't exist, you go to the dark web, you find this graph, you follow that one. you're going to make some mistakes you have to make yours you have to make your own no I'm not going to do that I just want to know like Tony what chart they're talking about they're talking about a chart nudge where you get the exact amount of Lins you're supposed to that you must push with

part

icular hands in each position. I like to use one when I'm in deep tournaments and even a shorter stack. I just save it there on my phone to check in right before.

I play the hand and then look down, see what I got, and follow the board. I hardly make decisions anymore when I go deeper into a tournament. I just follow the chart in the old days, you used to take a pen and write it down. in your hand at school and now it's all on the smartphone yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, let's get to this hand. She's been called by fader with Queen 3 and now Granu has taken a pair of nines, he must like that and he raised 120 to go and the Austrian said, "I can see I'm going to try to outflop you," so these are actually the two chip leaders.

Daniel in second chip position, the flop is an ace, king, jack, terrible flop because Daniel's nines can't handle it. What happens, they both check is also not a good flop for Fedor's hand, so if he is going to win this pot he will have to bluff, yes, six on the turn. He suspects that Daniel is stronger than he seems, so he passes. both check with Ace on the river. Does Fedor want to try to steal this? No, he looks at what board in my hand. Daniel is delighted to win with nines. You're a little surprised that Feder didn't shoot, not really, since he didn't. had some legit Equity plus a gutshot straight draw, he was worried that Daniel would get some Showdown value and beat him, but it's always surprising when Fedor loses a hand, so yeah, I'm surprised it was a long answer, but it was a long answer.

It's okay, I'll still accept it and move forward in a world of yes, no. Yes, I'm surprised that Fedor wins every hand, isn't it? 360 blind Sean Winter with the quick fold and Fedor now with the nice little connector suited five six of Hearts. yes, Fedor will win this hand. He's going up to 125 Daniel Ace. 10 just pays behind him. I'm not a big fan of this call from Daniel. He is in the small blind against a very aggressive Fedor Holtz on the button. I'd rather see him bet three here and just go for it. and knock him down pre-flop Nick Petrangelo behind them with an A6 What is he thinking?

He looks like he's moving up. That's exactly what he's going to do. He will try to squeeze this boat. Yes. Nick wants to be the one to get back up. before the flop and knock him down Peter gets out of the way and now Daniel in the think tank tough decision yes Daniel wonders what the board would say about this now Nick Petrangelo used to play hockey at school, great player, a lot of golf too and then he suffered concussion playing hockey, gave up and said, "I'm going to play poker" and has done incredibly well since winning close to 3 million in live tournaments.

Will this increase work here against gray? Yes, he does it well. In fact, Nick gives us a second pick, you know what I mean, with the bad hand of him. I mean, oh, it's great to win with garbage and after executing that Squeeze Play, Nick Petrangelo has moved up to second place, proving that he belongs at this table despite his best efforts. starts a race in the legitimate World BLS of 30 and 60,000, all three options were available and now Nick Petrangelo, stealing that last pot, will simply call with diamond queen six Shawn Winter with a horrible hand eight two, but there is nothing horrible . hands really into poker, especially when you get the check right and the flop is a 986.

Nick with a pair and a flush draw checks to Shawn, who checks behind with middle pair, no help for Nick on the turn. He would surprise you if he passed. once again, yes, with the four flush and the six making the BET look like 70,000 sha ahead, at this point we know that the pair of eights pays softly until the river, come on, it's a five of spades, quite a dangerous card , it's not a great card. For Nick, he's worried that his opponent might have two pair, a nine, or a straight, so just a middle pair checks and he'll end up losing this pot despite punching the right flop, like Sean Winter from Florida .

He was born in Jacksonville, he's 25 years old, he bought twice, which means he put up 200,000. Now he's going to collect a minimum of 441,000, so the second bullet will pay off for Shawn Winter, here today. Alright, in this hand we have Fedor with a pair of fives he has raised to 150 the Granu behind them well, I said before that I really liked it when Nick Petrangelo used king9 suited as a three-bet hand with NE granu from the small blind showing us the difference in Generations makes a call. in the small blind with king9 suited. I like that he is playing the hand.

I just don't like how he's playing it. The flop is a 96 Deuce. So Daniel flopped Fedor and checked. Great flop for Daniel, not a bad flop for Fedor's hand. 175 175 175 Daniel has rolled with top pair and since he didn't raise maybe he will have more action in his hand, so you never know, oh wow, a king that gives two pair, two top pair for Dan Gru, yes, two pair superiors for Daniel. who is apparently going to take the lead, which is a bit unusual, yes, Bardo doesn't look so good for Fedor, he now has a flush draw, but it's not very high, so he will quickly fold his fives, yes , Daniel did it.

I don't want another Diamond to appear, take the boat when you can run with it. Danel Nano will have a chance to really extend his all-time money winner lead to around 33 million if he wins this. I love the look, man, you're good, give me the old, uh, death look like, what the hell was that fishy smell? I can't believe he's saying this, but I think Daniel is being outplayed at this table. I can't believe you're saying that either, yes I'm afraid I do. True, I like how he played that last hand, but I don't, and we move forward with Daniel with a quick fold and now Nick with his butt and nothing 97 will get aggressive 135 to call, winter won, we play that and now we.

Let's go to Feder, who has made a real hand, the second best starting hand you can get in poker according to Kings. Nick just raised the button here with a 97 and he knows that Fedor has been very sticky from the big blind, he's not likely to fold, but he's not expecting the triple bet coming from Fedor, well there are many ways to play it, actually only two, you either call or raise at this point and don't risk putting in any more chips, making a total of 390 to go. He is not a small hand size big with Fedor Holtz, he goes three times higher.

I hope Nick just folds this hand, he certainly isn't going to call. I don't know why he would use this hand for a light bet, he doesn't. He has some blocker, well he tried but it took him a long time, what is he doing? Oh boy, what is he doing? He's getting the chips back from him, that means he'll still be involved. The 775 blocker is when you have one of the highest ones. cards in the deck that would make your opponent less likely to have a premium hand, well now he's trying to try and bluff, he got raised he just doesn't believe Fedor, he's wrong with that assumption and Fedor has to be excited.

I mean he put the guy on Aces. I mean, there's always a chance, but there's obviously no way you can pass this up. I like that Nick is willing to fight Fedor. Let's see how much you play. I start with 2.3, but I prefer to do it when I have a blocker, i.e. if he had something like King 8 King and Queen Jack Ace 10 that's the type of hands I would look to bluff, instead Nick makes the play with 97 off and since we know this is about to go terribly well, sometimes you just misread your opponent when he has the goods and that's what happened to Nick right now, he took a wrong step, he slipped on the banana peel and it's not pretty, can the Austrians get him through? the torture chamber there everything is at stake Nick has to leave it he is disgusted with himself you can boil a cup of coffee in Nick's head right now and everything will be fine for this guy Fedor Holtz I appreciate that Nick didn't take a stand there once Fedor went all in immediately folded his garbage hand while Fedor rises towards 8 million in chips he has more than half the chips in play everything is going his way Nick folds this hand now winter is going to get involved here yes with a hand horrible too yeah Sean going up 108 offit on the button here thanks Fedor likes to play Anything oh are you serious wow wow back to back Kings back toback Kings with guys bluffing in front of them with nothing this is a new dealer at the table so no I don't suspect Fedor has paid someone he's just running pure and there's the lightning bolt 305 total Daniel off Shawn again making you happy because he's not going to play along, yeah, I love the lack of Poine, I respect that, they definitely would. to show that when you went all out you just had it so a couple players got stuck in the old rat trap come on you know me he plays good cards too when he stops them federal extends chip lead , can? ending here tonight Kings in consecutive hands continue to pummel their opponents and gradually bleed them of their chips as the fight for second place continues.

Yes, he's a one-man wrecking crew and right now he's playing Shawn Winter like a solid Queen Jacka Hearts going up to 125. Wow, just a king for Fedor Holtz, do you know who he is? Consecutive kings we just saw, but now he

final

ly gets out of the way and is close to ni for tangelo 1 three and changes who has a pretty decent Ace nine. Spades, yes, Nick will come here from the big blind so we'll flop heads up ace9 against queen Jack the two short stacks fighting here's the flop it's a king98 1.4 so Nick is ahead with nines and he's checked, they're both passing on turn five of Hearts, the four flush for Shawn witer, yes, Shawn with a gut straight gets a four flush.

Nick still has the lead, but as you can see, his hand is very vulnerable, he is going to bet here for 150,000. Sean has a pretty clear decision here. It wouldn't be very plausible to raise after checking behind on a fairly coordinated flop, so he calls in the hopes of getting lucky on the river. the board that should slow down Nick slows down everyone, they both pass correctly, so Shawn passes behind with queen high not wanting to take the opportunity to bluff, he decides there are too many MD draws out there and thinks his opponent would beat him.

I'm not sure if that was the case when Nick had a nine, but this time his second pair will be good for that pot. Yes, 28-year-old Nick played hockey at Skidmore College and suffered a concussion. I decided, "Hey, I'm going to try poker, forget it." about ice hockey and he has done incredibly well, in this hand we have Fedor, our chip leader to make a decision, he has the mtown hand, Jackson five, you get it, Tony, you got it right. I have that one. I've been around Vince Jackson. There was a band called The Jackson 5 that they worked with.

I know it's one of them, Michael Jackson. You know I lived next door to them when I first moved to Hollywood. Our family lived right next door. Yes, we were good. friends, they're cool kids, well we used to play football in the streets, everyone except Michael and him would dance in the streets and he'd make a big move, we'd say who's this kid, get off the ball. field, oh, meanwhile, we have a poker hand here. Feder Holtz raised Jack five of diamonds. Daniel called in position with A6 of clubs and on this flop of queen 77, Fedor just checked and Daniel doesn't seem too interested in this pot, yeah, he just gives it away. up Daniel nanu ace high taking that pot Daniel wants to dance out of his seat after finally beating feder in a pot yes, fader has definitely brought out the best in Daniel tonight so far, but we're talking about the winningest poker great Daniel no.

Of all time, if he were to win this, he would be close to 33 million and has a real chance here tonight in second chip position. People must think you're very rich when they search your name online and say, "he won." $31 million like we have to keep every aroma that we win in a poker tournament, that's a good point, but he not only has that, but he also has endorsements and things like that that go to some of the top players like him. maybe he is very rich and knows that he is happy at the table, that's for sure, and right now he is raised with Ace Jack, a couple of times in his old Nemesis face, Fedor, 22 years old, with only a 64, goes to waste, yes, Fedor no.

I don't make many folds in the big blind at great odds and here he flops second pair with king 43, so it's a nice flop for his hand. Daniel has failed here, but he probably believes that he is still ahead, yes, he will figure out the continuation bet. of 150 the Austrian looks over the board, yes, you can, he makes this call to Daniel's discomfort going to the turn. It's a good five card for Fedor Holtz, who gets an open straight draw to go with his pair. Daniel now has a shot at two, but that card would spell disaster for him because Fedor would have a higher straight and they both check Daniel wisely, slowing down in hopes of getting something special on the river, not nine of spades. , not a car that is likely to produce a lot of action from either player.

The fader will pass. Daniel will pass behind and the fader will win this pot. There is no couple here. Thank goodness a two didn't work out. That's the problem with making almost a minimum raise before the flop. You do it because the blinds are very big, but sometimes it backfires because you can't take out someone who already has some investment.
