Interesting hands leading to PCA championship for Ambrose...

[amulet]

From down there I was told it was AK not AQ. I think my information is correct. If so, it was a poor call, but a nice win.

I remember seeing Gus Hassen calling a all-in bet with 10-8(I think thats what he had, something around there) and sucking out on the magician... Wheres the post bashing him?

Hansen called that all in during Bad Boys of Poker. A WPT travel channel freeroll where 1st place won a set in the WPT Championship.

Why don't you try using the search feature? Wasn't there a thread on that topic just last week?

First of all, it was definitely AQ. I raised AsQs on the button, Singer smooth called with KK and we got it all-in on the Q-high flop. Also, a few hands before all those hands, Singer and I got all the money in with my K9 vs. his T9 on a 964 flop. If I won that I would have had 6.5 million chips heads up with Brook, but he hit a straight. Not saying I didn't get lucky in the tournament (clearly I did numerous times), just clarifying what led to all of these hands.

Thanks. I hope I don't come off as defensive. I'm actually posting all my interesting hands from the PCA in the MTT forum and if you read them, it's pretty easy to tell I got really lucky at some really important times. I just felt it was a little unfair the way the OP was presented and wanted to clarify a bit.

Congrats on the win, and no you don't come off defensive at all.

Moral of the story, once again, is that it's amazing how wrong Cardplayer can get major, basic details.

I know that providing accurate accounts of the hand details is a tough job (though it ought to be considerably LESS tough when the game is shorthanded), but it's lame that the CP updates will probably have you remembered by a bunch of people as "another fish who got lucky to win a WPT event."

as i said earlier luck is big a part of it - along with a lot of skill.

i am interested in your thinking on the K2s where you hit the flush on the river. if you get a chance could you take us through that hand and your thinking.
