      The way Jake was betting 3 handed playing for a Main Event bracelet against a similar stack with that board and a massive pay bump for 2nd? Mirade you are probably one of those ppl that no matter what kind of car someone buys, you will tell them it sucks. It was easily one of the ballsiest bluffs in the biggest spots that I've ever seen. Online it is considered a standard play yes, but here it was very impressive. The fact that the dealer even misheard him and made Merson say "all in" twice (and how he did it ever so smoothly both times) makes this an insta-classic bluff all day.

    • @HoangTruong-vk7ek
      @HoangTruong-vk7ek 2 роки тому +4

      the other guy betting pattern didn't seem convincing. He raises big preflop then barrels huge 3 streets with that board? Hes repping AA KK QQ at best and even those hands will not bet river like that because Greg's limp calling range has all the straights/sets/2 pairs on that board after the turn call. So on river he was turning basically his entire range into a bluff unless he has exactly 99 or 75s for top set or rivered straight. Those are the only 2 hands that really betting for value on the river. Every other hand is a bluff. Greg knows this and shove on his face. Even with AA there he still would have folded like 99%.

      The hand was well before the final table. The confusion is because koroknoi took Baumann out 10th place in a different hand later on. Karma should have been the other way with Baumann taking our koroknoi bc koroknoi should have been eliminated way before in the hand previously discussed.
