Gus may raise, then call a reraise, with a hand like 56s. Gus is not raising and then CALLING A RERAISE with a hand like 85 or 95. Maybe in a tournament, but not in a cash game.

Because of DN's odd sized reraise, GH is getting over 3 to 1, needing to call $2,900 into a $8,800 pot.

Since the reraiser is representing a big pair, I'm calling with just about any two in that spot provided both stacks are deep. (which they were)

edit: my apologies, couple other guys just said same.

Of course Gus could have made the small PF raise with any two cards and of course Gus would have called DN's reraise. The issue though is would Gus just call the $65k river bet if he had a full house with a hand like 95 or 65 or would he reraise another $170k with this type of hand. I just don't see it. I'm fairly sure he would just call and cross his fingers that his mediocre full house was good because DN could easily have the hand he did. While DN says that he was representing an overpair, I just don't see that. I have to beleive that Gus put him on a full house, either with 99 or 66. If he really thought he had just an overpair then no reraise would work of course.

I have heard a few of you say that 88 wasn't a possible holding for Gus either, but I disagree. The PF action could definitely mean 88, and the check call on the flop definitely could be 88 (one overcard, straight draw). He then leads out on the turn which most players would not do, but GH could definitely do to take control of the action (and DN certainly could have been weaker then he was representing).
