I said IF and that is a good call because I think I remember sites at least attempting to catch people using VPN, and I'm guessing he wouldn't risk losing his account balance for getting caught doing it (unless he was completely hammered)

He could have a private VPN that is undetectable

it must be giant pain in the ass for the high stakes guys to not be able to play online when they come to the states for tournament like the headsup championship. I wouldnt be surprised if some dont make the trip for this reason.

railing the 8 game and noticed david benefields location was down as macao too. Action must be juicy for these guys to move over there.

whats the recap ?
01-23-2013 , 04:09 PM
It was four ways to 7th street and was capped on third, fourth and sixth street. Pat pat took the high with kings full, PFA won the low with a 75, punting-peddler was caught in the middle with trip 6's and a 76 low. pokerakami folded 7th for one bet with 469qdd showing.

I'm not sure I've seen a pot with 40 big bets in it before.

Holy crap. And I thought 80k the other day was sick. And it was a scooped hand?

I think this is clearly not the case
01-23-2013 , 08:58 PM
patpat should call and try to kingmine the turn/river.

(Kidding.)

The answer is a few posts above
01-23-2013 , 09:47 PM
Ah, I see it now. Not scooped, then its much easier for it to be übermassive. The 80k the other day was scooped which is way more sick to me. That said, Ive never seen a limit pot with 40 big bets either(in high stakes). Ongame, for instance, does not have a cap in HU pots and Ive seen way more there in my own games.

Raul doesn't have many Ks or As here, its more bluffs, flopped 2 pairs and sets. My guess is will is trying to get him off those 2 pairs, even 44 is behind wills value range here.

After leading with a 7K river bet, who folds to a ~13K raise?
