The aces call looked pretty bad without a HUGE read which he may have had. Nobody is overbetting allin, when they are in a strong top ten position themselves, against a player who has them covered if they cannot beat any single pair hand.

Even worse as the pot size makes them look limped.

The very next hand, Lisandro once again raises to $140,000 preflop, this time from the cut off. Friedman announces a raise, to $350,000, but puts in a $400,000 raise. The dealer pulls back the extra $50,000, and Lisandro calls. The flop brings the AclubJclub8club, and Friedman cuts out a $500,000 bet and places it in the center. Lisandro mucks his hand and Friedman shows the 9spade2diamond as he rakes the pot, saying, "Now we're playing some poker."

Friedman now has approximately $2,150,000, while Lisandro has $2,550,000.

i cant believe this, CP must misreported it or something. why is the pot at only 400k in the turn? Usually the pots are bigger than this preflop!!!

Start of day:
43 Leif Force 510,000
Currently:
12 Leif Force 2,700,000

And yes, he looks like one of the cavemen from the Geico commercial.

Have you read any of the previous 25 posts? Assumptions are the AA was slowplayed preflop. I'm not trusting CP so the details maybe off though.

[advilandy]

I have to admit, even though he seems like he might jump on people a tad too much if cardplayer can make a play sound badass, it must be Marsellus Wallace sort of [carebear] going on.

[alvaroaze]

Told you CP misreported it... pot had at least 650k.

Huge pot goes to Erik Friberg; Rizen is the victim. Rizen raises 130K under-the-gun. Friberg calls from the big blind. Flop comes Qc-9s-5s and Friberg checks. Rizen bets 200,000 and Friberg calls. Turn is 4c and, after Friberg checks again, Rizen makes it 300,000. Friberg now moves all-in, for about 3 million. Rizen squeezes his cards again and I see A-A. He dwells, then calls for about 90 per cent of his stack. Friberg shows 4-5d for two pair. River is a blank and the Swede scoops a 4 million pot.

From an earlier hand at card player:

[ QUOTE ]
Erik Friberg raises to $120,000 from late position. Eric Lynch calls from the cutoff.

[/ QUOTE ]

Rizen's AA hand came about 15 minutes later.

Looks like this was a battle of the blinds, or more likely if Rizen was acting first, Button v. a blind.

My guess is:

Frieberg raises from button and Rizen calls in blind. Rizen checks flop with the intention or raising and Frieberg checks behind. Rest is history.

Edit : [too late - it's a CP typo]

Go Tech!!!

With the blinds at 20K/40K/5K, Doug Kim made it 120,000 to play, Jamie Gold called Lee Kort called. The flop came out TdTs5h. The players checked around. A jack of hearts fell on the turn. Gold checked, Lee Kort bet 200K, and Doug called. Gold folded. The river was a nine of hearts. Kort checks. Doug thinks for two minutes then checks behind, showing KQ for runner-runner straight win for 850,000.
