Why do they show 3 aces as possible outs when everyone could see tricket folded an ace, then after the turn show 2 queens as the outs when a queen was folded before the flop ?
Exactly, but from the perspective of the players and if no one could see hands you have to make the assumption that the Ace is in the deck to calculate the odds.
Gee owned at least half of most players left in that tournament including Antonio. He didn't mind giving him any chips. those super high stakes tournaments should all go to charity unless the players are putting themselves in. Most of the final table is playing with Gee's money
It's a tournament. They're playing with chips accrued from all the eliminated players, and the chips don't necessariy correspond to the entry price. Also if it went to charity those big players wouldn't even attend most of the time.
@@zizoumonk10at least people will pronounce it right, which I believe might be more important to him. I had a friend with the name Guy and he hated when people pronounced it Guy.
@Argumemnon what he is saying is most of these players were 'staked' by a backer... Antonio might have put up $50,000 of his own money: 5% of the $1,000,000... And I bet Antonio had % of 4 or 5 other players... Guy probably had % of half the field.
Even tho he hit his king...i think AK is largely overplayed. In a pot like that most of the time the opponent is going to have kings or aces...leaving your AK in the fkn toilet. For those stakes especially youd be SUPER LUCKY to see him turn over QQ or lower. Antonio got reeeeal lucky it was just a flip
Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari would end up winning the tournament and the 1st place prize of over $18 million... which is still the largest poker win in history (2012).
I was playing a little £50 fun tournament in a London card room about a month after this. Half way through the evening, Antonio, Laak and Michael Phelps (it was during the London Olympics) came in and started a little private game in the corner. At one point, all the games stopped to watch Bolt win the 100m final. Was surreal to be sat a few yards away from the swimming GOAT, watching the sprinting GOAT win gold.
Two class acts! It sucks to lose with queens, but you were both great sports about it. We need more of that in poker!
What ever happened to Trickett? Dude was in every nose bleed tv cash game and tourneys for a good stretch in the 2010s
Plays a lot of high stakes PLO in Europe
@@timmcdonnell6409that was one time with the Partypoker stream. Pretty sure he’s retired and more savvy with businesses etc.
Used his money to buy a nice place for his family and just plays occasionally now I think
He got eaten by a great white
@@TedsonJones that is nice

It was a mistake of tv editors
software didn't account for folded cards in this tournament back then. A lot do now like Hustler Casino Live for example.

Guy not Gee. He’s French Canadian.

Antonio needed the $18 million a LOT more than Guy.
Non bot comment coming through

They should’ve kissed each other lips
Are they dating 😂
Looked so f cringe
Anyone else think it was Laak in the thumbnail?
Noobs
yeck
There was definitely saliva in Guy's kiss.
Hate when ak cracks big pocket pairs. It leads to so called professionals overplaying such hand.
It's basically a coin flip. And, especially in tournaments, AK shove preflop heads up is a normal move. And specifically against Laliberte.
