DB looked sick; I think it was more empathy than anything. 600k is nothing to Guy, but it would really matter to DB. I think he started saying all that "I had a bad feeling" stuff after he realized how weak it made look. KUDOS to him.

Degenyamine and Guy get it all in on a K53 2 club flop A8 of clubs for DB, K5 for Guy

pot is 1.2M or something like that

Guy first wants to run it once, then offers whatever DB wants, then tells DB that he'll just take what was in the pot before the huge raising (around $100K I think), saving DB like 200K in equity

Y would u think Guy is dumb? He knows what he did and equity/EV or anything else for that matter is nonexistent in his poker game. He plays for fun and is such a nice guy that the last thing he wanted to do was deal a great financial blow to someone who otherwise is a nice guy also.

Heartwarming but depressing at the same time. The supposedly largest high stakes poker game ever played becoming a play money fest and its biggest pot influenced by the opponents' diverging financial status, which is exactly the thing that table stakes poker is supposed to neutralize. I'd like to think that if the stake meant that much to me that I'd either 1) not show up and play 1) not shove allin with the nut flush draw OR 3) not accept Guy's charity. Seems lame to have it all ways.

If the roles were reversed it definitely would have been different and I think Guy knows that. I sort of view the whole debaucle as a sort of angleshoot in some way. Not the hand in particular but the game in general. Guy was definitely exploited here for having so much money and playing against people who otherwise are playing above their heads.

It is extremely lame to have it all ways. What has poker come to where a guy can push all in like DB did, get caught a dog in a huuugge pot, and have Guy say forget the extra 120K you raised before you tried to semi-bluff me for my hard earned money.
