Scott Palmer needs to go all the way, I remember multiple sick sessions with Isildur that lasted all night with regular million dollar swongs.

so sick that thecleaner11 is in this deep. see him grinding online in tough games all the time

however i am sad to say that the days of an amateur winning this thing and sparking an influx of new players are over. i don't think we'll ever see another darvin moon at the final table again... i hope im wrong though

Additional pay jumps create a lot more situations where each minute could mean a larger payout, as opposed to the current batches.

just realized I've played with Thomas Sarra a bunch of times in home games...

might have to pay attention now

Hand #26: Sarra raised to 355,000 from the hijack and the action folded to Andoni Larrabe in the big blind.

"How much do you have?" Larrabe asked Sarra, who responded he had a little over four million.

"All in," Larrabe then announced.

"All in?" Sarra questioned his opponent. "That's a big bet, a very big bet. I need to think about this one," Sarra continued.

After a brief pause Sarra continued thinking out loud and said, "That's a really big bet, why would you do that?"

Another 10 seconds went by and then Sarra called.

Sarra: {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Larrabe: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

"Y'all are crazy!" Leif Force yelled in excitement.

"Holy s***!" Oscar Kemps added.

Everyone at the table started laughing, but Sarra was indeed all in for his tournament life.

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Sarra found himself a very big double-up.

"Grande cojones!" Kemps yelled as Sarra raked in this big, "Big hairy balls!" the Dutchman continued as Larrabe shook his head in disbelief. The Spaniard, who started the day with a very big stack is now among the shorter ones at this table.

No doubt he's solid and I like the tank strategy tbh . It really takes cajones to do that. BUT, he checked that turn and then called off the rest of his stack after Dan effed him up with sizing after he led the river .

Was gonna copy/paste this hand from Pokernews but you did it.
Day 7 and still fishes to call like 25ishBB shove with ATo.
Glad to see i wasn't the only one shocked.

Sick for Larrabe, saw him on the EPT Grand Final run worse with 2 tables left and made 11th
He is competent i guess (but almost everyone is competent except this Sarra guy )

Best November 9 for me:

Jacobsen
McCorkell
Zaichenko
Van Hoof
Smith/DSindy/Keranen (for the Vegas pro angle)
Newhouse
Palmer
Devo/Force/Sabat
Politano (for the braziliarail)

Calling 25bigs there on day 7 in the main event with ATo what the heck? That is the kind of call I see in a $5 mtt online...

DS is the reason this hand was played poorly.

He sized the flop bet to give him odds to call. What would DS float here ? You don't know. Its DS and he's deep with pos. on him. If he has a good enough hand on the turn, our perfect sizing will get value. If he has a gutter, he prob won't call .



I wonder if Mr. Kaiser would play it diff now

I'm surprised that tanking late in main like that doesn't happen more.

And Smith is arrogant for commenting negatively on this behaviour? #nvglogic

Fk Kentucky Justice, I would have given him the Glasgow Kiss.
