Seat 5(t26,000) goes into the tank for about 2 minutes....and finally calls, making the comment "I just can't fold this hand."

The chips went into the pot and the dealer shoved them together, before creating a sidepot, so that had to be taken care of before we flipped our hands over and ran the river. So I had time to contemplate my demise. I say to the table, "there is absolutely no way my hand can be good."

Eventually the hands get opened, and Seat 5 opens QT, and Seat 6 opens AA?!?! This is the 4th level of the Championship event of a WPT event. Both Seat 5 and Seat 6 are touring players.

Please explain what was going on in this hand, it flew way over my head.

seat 5 may be a touring player, but it sure looks like he played this hand very badly. He open raised 5xBB with QTo and then calls push with top pair medium kicker on a paired board. He played this very badly.

seat 6 also played very badly, slow playing his A's preflop, then checking the flop. His play postflop was not as bad as his play preflop, but both pre and post were pretty bad.

I think this goes to show you that even some of the touring players donk it up every now and then. I hope your hand held.

These players any we know?
