What? Eli has the best hand with a weak ace? Is the card display wrong or is the announcing just wrong?

I think he meant the best hand of the remaining players after Gus bet into the big field.

This is exactly what he meant, though I admit, it was confusing.

"I have to apologize to you Ted."

"For what, Doyle?"

"I called you an idiot on national tv."

"Yeah, I saw that."

Other than Gus' overpair against Lindgren's big draw, this was a pretty uneventful show, imo.

Yeah, IMO, I think they waste too much time showing people hollywood before folding. I'm not sure what the solution is, since it would be lame if every time they showed somebody think about calling, they called. Still, it's lame to sit there and watch a player think for a coule minutes before folding 3rd pair.

I thought Gus betting pot on the river with JT and trips was an interesting move. I was thinking check/call, since there were missed draws. DN can't fold a better hand and probably folds worse. Then again, maybe Gus read him as tilting and thought the payoff wizard would strike again.

It was risky, but in line with his aggressive game plan. I think he really thought he was chopping or barely winning, and thought there was a decent chance Daniel would lay down the same hand if he bet.

Obviously though, he was risking having to fold to a raise.

I would have check/called, for sure.

On the JT hand does anyone think there was an amount that Gus could have bet that Danny would have folded to? I'm think NOT, because clearly he would have called anything less and perhaps if Gus bet more DN would have put him on a bluff -- plus he seems to be on tilt and doesn't seem capable of folding in this session (what was with his call of the $19k PF bet with his two rags -- oh, they were suited)?

How much was in the pot when Gus put Erik all-in on the turn?

I could be wrong, but I think it was somewhere around 23k.
