Looks like we have a new Scott Lazar.

Haha.

Not quite that bad I guess. I've always liked Scotty, but what an amazing donk off of a lot of chips.

Am I the only one who thought Scotty's play during the last two hands was fairly standard?

In the AQ hand, he checks knowing he's going to reraise Hilm all-in. Hilm can't call without a very strong hand - which he did have.

On his bust out hand, Scotty got the flop he wanted and put maximum pressure on Hilm, who happened to catch TP.

You might make an argument for Scotty not getting involved with this hand pre-flop, but it still looks like basic tournament play to me.

The last hand was standard late tournament play by a short stack and no problem with that. The AI move with TPTK against one of the bigger stacks was a reach but he's not ever laying down AQ in the SB folded to him and I have a feeling we would have seen all the money get in there regardless.
