looking pretty short stacked!

Seriously we need some Transcendental luckbox meditation to send him good vibes.

Jamie Gold raises to $400,000 from middle position and Prahlad Friedman pushes all in for $1,700,000 from the button. Gold calls with 8diamond7club while Friedman shows the Aheart3spade. The board comes the 6spade5club4diamond giving Gold the nut straight. The turn is the Jheart and the river is the 4heart eliminating Prahlad Friedman in 20th place.

[img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Can one of the MTTs stars explain this play to me? I mean 30bb seemed like a healthy stack and this play seemed unnecessary.

Every time I want to root for this guy the personality counterfeits me, oh well, go Prahlad!

"He is a cash game player and gets no publicity."

Reason enough for me. Slotboom next year.

Looks like a bad play but then watch his postgame interview on cardplayer.com com. He explains it. He had picked up a tell on Gold and knew Gold was raising with a weak hand. I think he thought Gold would fold with an 8 high hand but Gold figured he still had odds to call.

It's a nice interview to watch.
