(Mis)played set by TV Pro...

[erc007]

I watched this hand the other morning on NBC's "Poker After Dark." It's a 20K buy-in, 6 player, winner-take-all FO. This hand is about 20 hands into the 1st level.

Blinds 100/200

UTG Daniel Negreanu
Button Mike Matusow
SB Phil Hellmuth
BB Phil Laak

Starting stacks are 20K, Button;SB;BB have about 20K, Negreanu covers.

Negreanu has been very active maybe 80/40, opening a lot of pots, mostly with trash. He has played pretty aggro postflop, so he hasn't shown down anything yet, except for TP a couple of times when he called raises wJTo and T9o.
Hellmuth has been pretty tight, Matusow and Laak have played about 1 hand each.

Thoughts on flop call?

Preflop UTG raises to 600, 2 folds, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls.
