The hand everyone's talking about during the EPT Barcelona Super High Roller.

Did Olivier enter the One Drop (I know he was on TV in the audience during the broadcast). If not, why not or did he just feel that Colman was a better investment than he was?

Ouch. I think a runout like that is more painful than ace rag just binking an ace

Olivier was too busy on Ebay trying to buy all of Teddy Roosevelt's old suits to worry about whether his A2 was good or not...

You're supposed to say "so you're saying there's a chance" on the turn.

Usually Stapes does on the turn.... but even he and Hartigan didn't believe in any way that another Ace was coming out.

How is that shove questionable? Seems like a completely standard resteal spot to me...

Those weren't my words, it was actual Olivier's own description he had of his play during an interview with Pokernews

I agree that the resteal wasn't totally terrible against an aggressor opener (who I think was the chipleader at the time)

Shove was a lot more reasonable than his fashion statement . . . just saying.

Can't say if it was good or bad if we don't know how what the blinds were and stacks - plus images as well. I do know busquet is a boss so he was likely correct. And what a gentleman - no celebration ...

He and DC actually train themselves to look as miserable as possible after a big win as they would not want to make the game look fun for anyone watching lest a person with the potential to one day beat them deposit and start learning the game. Upper level long-term self-interested thinking.

Thank god somebody created a thread about a questionable 3bet shove for less than 20bbs. Because that definitely doesn't happen 39585 times every tournament.

Disclaimer: Seeing as how the opening raise was to 160k, I'm just assuming the BB was 80k.
