"Official" High Stakes Poker Season 3 (Week of 1/15)

[kflop]

I think Gabe said Matasows bet with AK was too risky.

What about Alaie holding 55, calling 9k before the flop and with 346 on the flop, not calling a 15k bet. There was already 27k "plus the 15k flop bet" in the pot. Even if Chen has an overpair, Alaie is only a 3-2 dog. The money that was already in there justified some kind of play. Doesn't he have to at least call and take one off. As it turns out, Chen (who had AQ) was probably through with the pot, but results aside.
