So, we see Jamie Gold, who wants to be known as "the greatest bluffer in the game" learn that you can't bluff a billionaire.

We get to see Gabe Kaplan, in the space of about 2 minutes, tell us we'll see real fireworks on the river becauser Doyle will call (holding 3rd nut flush) Gold's big turn raise (with 4th nut flush), then be shocked when Doyle folds to the raise, and then without even missing a beat explain why it made sense that Doyle folded (old-school play vs. new-school player).

We get to see play that can only be described as "scared money" - Antonius barely getting involved, Sammy playing ultra-tight (well, for Sammy), and Antonio being terrified to call a medium-sized river bet holding a set of aces with the only possible big hand (IIRC) being a back door flush.

Methinks that except for Laliberte and possibly Gold, they're all being staked for this game.
