do you disagree with my point that it was dinengenuous to claim his read on eli's 88 hand?

I wasn't there either, but yes, I disagree. I find it hard to believe that he would lie about something where he would be so easily discovered later. It doesn't seem so crazy to me to think Phil G made a good read, and that he either didn't hear Eli or didn't believe him and wanted to check later.

that's really your take? that maybe galfond, whom you say yourself is a great player ... would not keep his ears open at the table to a conversation between two players that just finished a pot. noone else was talking at the table.. he wasn't jabbering with jamie gold ... but you give good ol philly the excuse "i don't think he would lie, i guess he just missed eli and sammy talking about it" give me a break... you shouldn't have wasted our time in replying here if you're line of reasoning was "i'm sure philly wouldn't lie, he must have been napping at the table while sammy and eli talked about the hand."
i at least give the guy enough credit that he would and did listen to eli and sammy's discussion of the hand.
