New theory: Laak had AQ, the production messed it up and then party poker ran with it for the publicity?

Idk, just finding it really hard that Laak would ever muck a winner or call with A6.

Re: Laaks Muck of Winner in the 48hr. Big Game VI

I don't understand why people were saying there was an accidental slow roll.

Laak didn't want to flip his hand over while the board was dealt. The other guy was happy to. That doesn't mean he should have thought he was ahead. He's just got to wait until the river and see if Laak claims the pot or mucks.

You could say Laak is letting the other guy think he is winning when he isn't once the 6 hits (ignoring the mis-read) and that's what a slow roll is. But this is rather different since it's already clear Laak isn't revealing his hand until the river whatever comes.

And if you think Laak ought to have shown his cards when the 6 hit the turn that would make it a deliberate slow roll rather than accidental.

Nope - it appears as though it was just a brain fart. Here's his explanation of the hand:

Re: Laaks Muck of Winner in the 48hr. Big Game VI

LOL I just can't believe there's people here stupid enough to think that Laak would give away 100k out of embarrasment from slow rolling. You lack all understanding of the value of money, and are a danger to yourselves.

There's only 2 explanations:
1. He forgot/missread his hand or was not thinking clearly.
2. Production error

Seriously it's worrying the amount of clueless posts on this forum, you're supposed to be poker players, you're supposed to be able to come up with logical reasons behind peoples actions.
