Really interesting ICM implications in both players' lines. But I think Fedor is the most interesting player to consider here. Comments?

Perhaps this hand would explain the dynamic between the two?

Both hands are pretty sick. The "replayer" one being the most interesting one imho.
Was there a day2? Dont have access to PS atm, @work, when does that 1st highroller unfold? Cheers

there is definitely some kind of sick dynamic between the two but the first hand looks closer to std from fedors point of view

I think it's close, probably ok, as we likely have to have hands other than Ax that call two streets although it does go to the question of what our 4-bet preflop call range should be.

I do think that having hands that block your opponents possible bluffs (although there shouldn't be that many bluffs on that texture in a 4-bet pot) and don't block nut hands is probably not the best though.
