Re: My followup
i just relistened to the cardplayer.com broadcast and here is what we know about the situation and daniel negreanu's commentary:
Second hand of the WSOP ME final table, 9 handed, blinds at T50,000-T100,000 (T10,000 Ante). Brad Kondracki moved all-in from UTG on the first hand and everyone folded.
Steve Dannenmann (T5,450,000) opens UTG for T250,000
Scott Lazar (T3,360,000) re-raises to T1,250,000
Joseph Hachem folds
Andrew Black folds
Tex Barch folds
Daniel Bergsdorf folds
Mike Matusow (T7,340,000) moves all-in from the button for T7,340,000
Aaron Kanter folds
Brad Kondracki folds
Steve Dannenmann thinks for about 30 seconds and folds
Scott Lazar calls all-in for T2,110,000
Upon seeing Matusow move all-in, Daniel Negreanu says, "I would expect Mike to have no less than two queens in this position."
And then, after the hands are turned over, he says, "What a cold deck. I don't know any player in the world who wouldn't take two Kings and play for all their money."
I'm not sure if Matusow had any kind of read on Lazar from previous play, but seeing his meltdown later at the FT, I think we can probably include AK in his calling range.
Two kings fare very well against this particular re-raiser's hand range, even though the range is incredibly small.
