Sammy took almost $200,000 off Jamie in the AA vs. KK hand.

Sure, but could he have possibly taken any less? And have you ever heard as much anguished talk of being friends, liking each other, hurting one another, having a monster, etc. on a river in your life? It was absolutely ridiculous.
As for the QQ v T7 hand, Gold has said many times that his favorite hand in poker is a pair and draw, he is always going to play that super strong, and Sammy is almost never folding an overpair to Jamie.
Why would he even ask him to just play it out for the $28K before the all-in and call. I mean, wtf kind of off the wall suggestion is that? Would he ask Antonius, Barry or Doyle the same question? They did manage to run it twice as a virtual coinflip though.
FWIW I will concede that the T7 QQ hand doesn't exactly go along with my theory but I still would like to hear what you think if you watch the entire episode, or just the first hand, over keeping the possibilty in mind.
