Hell no he wasn't. There WAS a broadway possible on the board (KJT I think), but there was definitely no sign of huge strength from anybody. He was facing a bet and a call, and that's it. It was pitiful. Pocket QQ ended up winning over a busted flush draw.
I felt bad for the guy. He looked really stupid. |

He probably wanted to duplicate Frangos's QQ pre flop fold -- unfortunately Frangos' situation was much more cut and dry, and while this guy ried to look like a poker genius he ended up looking foolish ... for the time being at least

Yeah, that was funny. But, as was said, in his effort to make an amazing fold he dropped the ball big time, he coulda made a ton of chips on that had too. It was three way, and your right, no one had been to aggressive. Anyhoo, Phil made a dude fold too when he had the best hand, the guy who won it. Later though, that guy called Phil out on the hand that won the tourney. I must say though, in a time when I start to get bored of the poker on TV (I was actually trying to switch to that Adam Corolla show that looks awful), this was the best episode I have seen in a while. I saw a lot of good poker plus crazy beats and stuff. Yay for poker on tv.
PS. Phil Ivey is now my favorite poker player. I didnt have one before but the guy looks too goofy on TV not to like him. Plus, he has balls. But most importantly, you can tell he LOVES the game, and isn't that what we are here for?

i thought it was an ok laydown. Look at how Pham played it. He raised before the flop, and then checks it, then check-calls. i don't know about you but that shows some strength to me. But even if i knew i was beat i wouldn't laydown 3 10's lol

I finally saw this. It was a HORRIBLE laydown. If you're going to fold a set of 10s, let it go preflop! What was he looking for? Top set? Quads? Come on....
When the turn was checked to him, I thought he was making a mistake by checking (the board was getting dangerous), but when the third guy bet, I thought he'd be gold with the all-in check raise. I couldn't even believe it when he folded. I guess he was just in survival mode, hoping to sneak up a few spots. That's not how I play, but to each their own. If you are going to play like that though, fold preflop! The funny thing was when he told Ivey and Pham what he had, they didn't even believe him. LOL. |

Actually, almost everyone I talked to is convinced that this hand was forged by ESPN. If you watch, you only see one of his 10s, and it really seems like they guessed for the other one. The way the hand played out, it really seems a lot more likely that he had A10 or something like that.
Paul Philips posted something about this in his blog too: About half way down the page |

you're talking about the wrong hand bro
the laydown of the set of tens was legit... did you see how the guy reacted when the hands were shown? the hand phillips talks about is lisandro vs ivey TT vs 99 on 4445 board. he even writes this at the bottom Last edited by junYUN; 08-29-05 at 01:31 PM. |
