Mads Anderson Takes a Nice Pot
Mads Anderson raises to $175,000 preflop. Joe Hachem reraises to $475,000 total. Anderson moves all in for an additional $975,000 chips. After several minutes, Hachem mucks QQ face up and Anderson rakes the pot.

Joe's basically getting break even odds against AA/KK/AK, and if this dude is capable of pushing JJ here it's a big time -EV mistake.

Yeah, yeah, he's at the table and may have "tells" but what a nit.

[timex]

No, he is getting much better odds than even, he is putting in 975k to win a pot with like 2.1 mill, so he only needs to win like 32% or something like that.
QQ v AA, AK,AKs,KK is like 39%, if the range is AA,KK,AKs, QQ its a marginal fold, but I'm still not a big fan.

Thorladen, who is there says that Mads sucks, so he may just be bad enough that its a good fold.

Congrats to ZeeJustin on his cash but how hot does Negraneu run, sure he was on about 200k when I went out last night and I log on this morning, FT chip leader

[DRRPoker]

Negreanu really is in control. This is an amazing hand of pot control and position:

Steve Sung raised to 135k from middle position, Daniel Negreanu called from late position, and the flop came 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Both players checked and the turn came 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Both players checked again and the river came K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Sung checked to Negreanu who bet 300k and Sung finally called. Negreanu showed pocket A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] to take down the pot. Sung mucked his hand.

Glad that cheater boy didn't make the tv table at least.

[moving shapes]

nice to see negreanu doing well. don't particularly like hachem. he looks too worried all the time

[JoseGonzlez]

Hanchem is the one guy it seems who makes these huge laydowns and yet still wins.

Wasnt Hachem part of that WPT lawsuit? Was it dropped or was an agreement made or something?

[/ QUOTE ]

The lawsuit was not dropped but Hachem recently withdrew his name from it and is done with it.

Source?

He had to have signed the agreement or he could not have played in the event.
