Re: Khan\'s last hand
[ QUOTE ]
Hard to say. I've never had an opponent shove blind before against me. I'd probably think AK or some ace high hand. Maybe a mid pair.

I agree completely with this assessment. It just feels like AK, AQ, or something 99 or worse. It just doesn't seem like someone would play a premium pair this way. Not sure what I'm basing that on, but it seems like the case.

But that doesn't matter much here. Yang doesn't think that way. He sees a hand, jams and literally prays for it to hold.

I agree that overthinking wasn't going to do Khan any good against Yang. This is for a few reasons:
1) Yang had $60+ million chips.
2) Yang showed he was willing to make big calls with much less than the nuts.
3) Yang happened to have a huge hand that he wasn't folding.
