  • This might be one of the craziest hands ever to go down so late in such a prestigious poker tournament. This hand from the 2018 WSOP results in millions of chips entering the pot from 3 different players, and only one of them having a decent hand. With nearly 9 million dollars up top, and a $40,000 payjump after one more elimination, this is the highest of high stakes poker. What the heck is going on here?
    This originally aired on PokerGo. You can watch more 2018 WSOP Main Event coverage there: www.pokergo.com

      1. Stall the game a bit for the obvious reason that your own tourney life could be on the line and there is a 40k USD payjump if someone busts in the meantime
      2. Stall to make it look like you have a tougher spot than you have, like (TT), JJ, QQ, AK
      Snap all in just seems so stupid in so many ways. 40k is still 40k if you are having AA vs KK or in another way gets bad beated

    • @leftphilange69
      @leftphilange69 4 года назад +2

      Pobody's Nerfect he had the short stack guy covered though by a huge margin, so for the hand at play and even subsequent hands considerations it is irrelevant for him. In fact, his speech is arguably collusion: by confessing he time banked in order to help THIS specific opponent ladder up instead of someone at another table, he is guilty of collusion. Because of the unique situation and the fact that that didn’t happen (nobody else busted) nobody looked into it further. Had they, it could’ve been grounds for a penalty. Since the original 4better had him covered, tanking would be a legitimate decision against him for pay jump considerations for himself, which is obviously just fair strategy. He will be up against AA from a cold 4bet enough that it’s not an instant all in (plus if he gets called with AK or QQ or whatever he can still lose between 20-30% of the time approx.) so he might’ve considered folding, but I doubt it.
      IMO he was telling a lie to the guy saying he tanked for his benefit to make him feel better, which is still technically against the rules but based on the situation, I don’t think anyone would put up a fuss. They would have to somehow think it was a chip dump to Gerrits to seriously pursue anything IMO.

    • @ketchup143
      @ketchup143 4 года назад +2

      idc what the reason is, he tanked WAAAYYY too long. he has 3 decisions, 1 of them a 1% or less chance of making (folding). so basically it's either call or all-in. and as doug alluded to, phan has garbage a lot of the time, so calling invites him to suck out or bluff garretts out. i know ppl take longer than they need to make decisions at big moments, but nearly 5 minutes is hurting everyone else by not allowing them to see more hands, and it's quite doubtful it's gonna help him any. we don't "help" other players, that is shear collusion as zach said.

    • @Andy-ug2hm
      @Andy-ug2hm 4 года назад +3

      @@ketchup143 seeing more hands also means higher chance of getting coolered before 40k pay jump. Only person it could possibly hurt is an aggressive mega stack who was running everyone over. Phan would have snapped called his all in with AA or AK and would have got there. He could have called him with QQ or JJ and sucked out. Why play for days in a huge tourney and in biggest spot assume opponent has no hand? Tanking only helped his own cause. He wasn't doing it to help Souza so there is no collusion. You'd be a dumbass to get this far in a tournament and not use everything possible to get further.

      With 8 or 9 BB's at a 7-handed table, there will be way better spots in the near future to double up and get right back in the game. 89o is not a hand that gets lucky multiway; he needs a suited connector or a pocket pair or even Ace-rag. He picked a lame hand in a lame spot when he could have waited literally another 15 or 20 minutes for both a payjump AND a better spot.

      Better idea is to put time limits on action with time bank cards, as some tournaments already do.

  • @jacobharris4838
    @jacobharris4838 5 лет назад +3

    He had just lost most of his chips on a pretty bad hero call iirc, but it's still a terrible shove. With 9 BB you can certainly wait for a better spot... bc literally any spot is better than this one. That being said though, I think Phan's move is even worse. If he's trying to isolate Souza, there are far better hands to do that with, and given that Gerrits 3-bet, he likely is not folding.

    All the previous hands they've been watching on the delayed stream have clearly influenced the play here past the point of idiocy, Gerrits folding his QQ must have been on Phan's mind. His tanking should be punishable by death. Interesting that he says he's trying to help 89 guy ladder....implicit collusion. Although I was hoping he'd fold the kings and rethink his clothing attire.
