300k buy-in... Maybe Leon is hoping sets, straights, small flushes and 2 pair hands will fold? I'm confused by his play on the river.
Leon is a super wealthy recreational player. Doug Polk is one of the best players in the world.
Polk should obviously fold on the turn but I also hate bloating the pot up on the flop here with air (non-nut draws) vs these two players. If Bill Klein were to continue in the hand that would not be a terrible thing. Also the combination of other hands that Polk would raise in that spot is pretty irrelevant when you consider that the opponents here are Bill Klein and Leon Tsournik, FFS!
It was refreshing to hear Doug say he made a mistake though. Also, he comes across as a very friendly fun loving person which adds to his appeal.
