no he was unlucky Stas had a flush draw + gutshot to even be able to make the call. Matter of perspective buddy. His shove was good anyway:

ahead of a flush draw
ahead of all other non made hands
and some equity vs a 1 pair hand.

gotta have guts to play this game, he has em.

and not a single **** was given in germany that day

Grunching, but please tell me someone has a screencap of the bearded dude behind SM as Kara is interviewing both of them at the end.

I think we found Montreal club old bearded dude's long lost brother.

It was even better because it was his 1st push out of nowhere.

only way the last hand would be better was if heinz made trip nines

lol

but you can't forget about location. It being in the US brought in more US players, and mostly only top foreigner players would travel the distance to play. If it was in the UK for instance, less recreational US players would go and there would be a higher % of better players for the US. Would also mean higher % of recreational UK players would be playing meaning UK players are donks.

Seems like some people can't think too well outside of the box.

Got to hope your posts improve!
Seems like your ploughing a lone furrow

From the WSOP Update it's hand #288 (of the entire FT I guess). Here's the rundown with the players' holecards added.

Pius Heinz opened to 4 million on the button with T 5, and Martin Staszko defended his big blind with Q 6. The flop came 5 4 J , and Heinz put another 4.5 million chips out there. Staszko check-raised to 10.2 million, though, and Heinz sat studying for about a minute. Then came the hammer -- all in for 54.3 million on a three-bet shove. Staszko has a habit of looking backward over his left shoulder when he's facing a big decision, and he spent some time doing just that before surrendering.

Heinz takes his fifth pot in a row, rebounding back up to 73.1 million.

hey guys u agree with heinz shove with AQ?i mean this was the only senario that would get it good

but stasko isn't calling with non made hands excpect the flush draw+gutshot. so he's ahead of a flush draw only pretty much.

all im saying their is when he shoves with AQ their and gets called he is very rarely is going to be a 54% favorite. he shoved as a bluff not because he thinks hes ahead a lot. I thought he was card dead all night and im glad he won but just saying

he should have so called this than the 9q hand

Heinz will definitely be the better ambassador because he speaks better English and has some charisma. Plus, this will perpetuate the idea that blind aggression is winning poker. Heinz is actually playing a controlled aggression style, but most can't figure it out and they'll spew like MFers trying to mimick him.

Picture if Staszko won. Chess players invade poker tournaments en masse, running numbers and playing nitty, grinding hours on end and never shoving until the math makes perfect sense. We don't want that kind of "Moneymaker effect."

I made a mistake 33% of the field were foreigners 2265 players with 486 from Canada. So they did do better than average, but not drastically.

its a shame heinz got rewarded for his AQ shove, when he knew he was prolly getting called. crazy even if hes up against a draw hes flipping at best, just crazy, live poker is rigged

was missunderstanding u then. Sry about that. Thought u implicated that it was a bad shove.
Yea was obv a bluff shove putting Stas on a lot of Fold Equity.

1. how could he know he was getting called? He wasn't in 5 hours before.
2. Dunno if u had seen earlier hands, but Pius certainly thought Stas would fold a flush draw since he did that earlier.

It's great that a very good player got rewarded for a very good play. His only option really, since calling is no option and with the dynamic and how often Stas has folded to his raises/all ins plus his chip stack a fold isnt either. So shove there 100% of the time, get a call from a worse hand a win the thing!

The reason he looked back was because there was a huge screen with the chip counts of the players. He would look back at it to see how much exactly the opponent had.

i feel empty now its finished

Yeah, I noticed that. For some reason the person blogging for the WSOP site didn't catch that.

+1 time for me to ship it next year. gonna be live updating about HU on 2+2

Jesus Christ I was avoiding spoilers until I watched it on ESPn, I log onto Stars and it flashes up at the bottom of the screen.

Found the leak.

Sad statement, but no ME Winner has come close to filling the traditional ambassador role since Hachem. Hope Heinz can step up - he seems like a good guy.
