I generally think commenting on these hands is somewhat pointless, since these guys play hundreds and hundreds of hands against one another, so we rarely really have the full ability to judge someone's actions.

But man - Thornsson's play there = hee haw.

Rizen going strong!

Friberg Can't Buy A Hand
Erik Friberg raises to $120,000 from late position. Eric Lynch calls from the cutoff. The flop comes Kspade10spade9heart and Friberg bets $250,000 and Lynch makes the call. The turn is the Jspade and Friberg checks. Lynch bets $300,000 and Friberg calls. The river is the 4club and both players check. Lynch shows KheartQspade and Friberg mucks his hand. After the hand, Lynch has $4,300,000. Friberg takes a hit down to $3,100,000.

Did Rizen realy just check that river there with a straight? Can't he at least throw a little value bet out there?

Nice, 3/4 of my horses are goin strong

GO RIZEN
GO CUNNINGHAM
GO PRAHLAD

looks like I made a brainfart on that Humberto bet

[jiggaman0204]

Rizen could have had a read. 3 spades on the board, higher possible straight...

[Jeremy517]

Three spades and a higher straight out there. Maybe he figured that a worse hand wouldn't call and he didn't want to risk getting checkraised? I wonder what Friberg had that made him call the turn bet?
