About that K9 v KQ hand was interesting, I think the only hand Tuan beats that is in Howard's range is 99 and a small chance of k9, Lederer raises qq and jj pf..

All in all an interesting episode much better than alot of thier line ups.

I would have called with K9. 100%.

FYP, I'm sure there are people capable of laying this hand down.

That said, I'm probably not one of them. However, it would have been a crying call. Seriously, please list a couple hands that Howard is raising in this spot that K9 beats.

Are you kidding, most of 2+2 would have gone broke with that hand. HUGE props for Tuan just calling there, and the J on the turn probably saved him (another bet and call or raise on a brick turn would commit him to the pot, especially if he fills up on the river).

Gus Hansen is my hero for his rant after Lindgren and Negreanu boasted about thinking about folding: "I love when the pros debate folding kings full! 'Oh, I put him on exactly KQ, in a limped pot 6-handed, of course that's all he can have, I would have to fold kings full of 9s there obviously!' Gimme a f**king break! Yeah, Tuan, that was a bad call, man, terrible call."

So awesome.

Remember, this is a game where Mizrachi seriously considered calling Lindgren with J-high on an AKQ76 board.

There have been many Gus LOL moments this week, but that was probably the funniest so far. That said, I still have a hard time seeing what Howard is raising here other than a bluff that K9 can beat. Possibly 99, I guess. Like I said, I would have called, and I think calling is correct, but it wouldn't have been a super confident one. As far as for going broke on that river, I dunno, I think that would be a pretty bad reraise allin.
