what exactly was the action in this benyamine/antonio hand??

[/ QUOTE ]

Benyamine pops it pf, bets flop, which Antonio floats. On the turn I forget the pot size, but Benyamine bets 18k, Antonio pops to 42k, Benyamine repops to 72k, then Antonio raises 40k more. Benyamine calls, river goes check check.

Am I the only one who thought Benyamine reeked of strength there? I'm a little surprised Antonio didn't muck when Benyamine led out on the turn. He's been playing so good too, it's a shame to see him misplay that hand there and lose a huge pot.

On another note, I was hoping someone could explain High Stakes math to me. Late in the episode, Antonius (6/3 clubs)and Ivey (Ace/7) tango in a hand. The flop is 9-7-2 w/ 2 spades. The turn is an Ace, giving Ivey aces up. Isn't Antonius drawing dead here? I'm watching the episode again now (I DVRed it) and they say Antonius is 18% to win. I don't get the math. All in all, a decent season from HSP, I can't wait for the next one!

I noticed this too. Glad I'm not the only one that saw this. Excellent poker this episode, can't wait for the next season.
