Default Re: Hand from the ME of the World Poker Open

Seat 5's preflop raise was bad and the turn call was worse.

Seat 6's preflop play was fine and pretty standard. He could also have reraised. I don't know about his turn play. It is a big pot and kind of hard to fold an overpair.

The ppreflop call of the 5xBB raise multiway for 1/10 of his stack with 74o was a typical Gigabet play. Most people would fold. The bad play of his opponents perhaps justifies it.

I prefer Gigabet's checking the flop OOP to betting out with trips in a 5-way pot.
