Anyone whose watched the show knows which hand I'm talking about (not that it was a big hand but because there aren't that many hands on the show).
On the turn a new player bets 20,000 into a 30,000 pot and Phil holding KQs has a flush draw and an inside str8 draw on a xs x 10s A board.
To justify his call he'd need to win another 10,000 on 5th street. Which I think he could certainly do especially since he has position on his opponent.
My only thinking is that he's worried about his opponent holding AJs. But then again his opponent is an amature poker player and probably wouldn't have reraised with AJs out of position from the BB.
Seems like a weird hand. I would've called. But I respect Phil's play so I'm wondering what might a pro be thinking about here.
Thoughts anyone?
