Okay I really remember watching that hand on TV. I also remember how tight Phil was playing the whole time and the hands he showed down was big hands. So if I saw then Mikey surely saw it, and the fact that he thought he was going to push him out of the pot with an all in was crazy. In Mike's defense he was tired he told the table he plays bad when he's tired, and I guess he wasn't lying lol.

After watching the video of this hand... Daniel Negreanu comments that Mike plays well plays well again and then BOOM BOOM BOOM! I'm all in, and drawing dead.. Pretty funny..

He continuously (what I have seen of him) plays like an amature allowing emotion etc disrupt his game, very loose, tilt's more than anyone, and in my opinion should quit whilst he's ahead. I wouldnt have got involved in such a situation in the first place so its hard to put myself in his place. He's an idiot.

3 bracelets..6.5 million...that's just WSOP
YEA..what an idiot!

did i misunderstand, i played like mike all in. but i would of folded, not everyone bluffs crazily!! if the guy didn't fold with the 10k bet, he's got something!!!
tons of fun!!!

This is a perfect example of why you shouldn't call $1,700 with a Q-9 off-suit in the first place!

I chose betting out 15k on the river. It looks like a value bet, a kind of bet you would make if you had the ace-high flush. If you had the ace-high, you wouldn't check it to Laak hoping he would bet, you wouldn't bet the pot as it would scare people away, and you certainly wouldn't go all in, unless you're playing in a freeroll.

Anyways, if Laak re-raises, you can fold. It's pretty simple.

Personally i think the bet on the turn was also a bit dumb. To represent the flush from the beginning I would have checked the flop and bet the turn. The flop bet says he doesnt have the flush right away, but bet the flop, turn and then overbet the river says "I got nothing" just like that commercial with Cunningham and Mike the Mouth.

Wow I got it right.I love watching Phil play.I figured if Phil called twice,he had me beat.

quit whilst your ahead! He's been lucky
