The kid who got 4th in this, (and won the $11 100k the night before) is ftb_1988, hes my neighbor and I was watching him play this on his computer.

I play a LOT of poker, I am not an idiot, and I am not making excuses for why he didn't win because i had 0% of him and could care less, however I am pretty sure there was some mad collusion going on at this final table. not just this hand, I didn't even see this hand, but tons of strange stuff was happening between these players.

I could be wrong and I'm not accusing anyone and I really don't care. I wasn't going to make a thread or anything but since this one is here w/e

The bottom line is that this hand doesn't surprise me at ALL, based on what else I saw

At my table in a MTT at the Bike a couple of years ago...
Early on it folded to the SB who limped into the BB
Ace crap hit the flop, both players wanted nothing to do with the pot and they quickly checked down.

The BB didn't look at his cards after the flop and didn't realize he went runner runner for the wheel.
It was easy to see the surprise on his face at showdown...
But then again, the SB had close to the nut low so he wasn't going to get another chip if he had bet the river.
The bad news was one of the TDs happen to walking by the table just before the showdown, saw the BB check the nuts on the river to end the action and gave him a hefty TO.
(I can't remember for how long)

A blast from the past. Wise words from Bax - Bowker must have taken note.

Perhaps Kyle Bowker is bullgoose4?
