I think the hand in this episode that stuck out to me the most, specifically the one street that stuck out, was DN's 64dd on the river (58T66 two diamonds board). Why on earth did DN check????!!!! That was a PERFECT spot to overbet the pot and make it look like u missed ur flush, as its pretty hard to put u on a 6 there. I can't see any reason why DN checked that river other than to induce Williams to bluff his obvious missed flush or he thought Ivey would try value betting an overpair. I think he acted too quickly and didnt think about everyone's hand and his best play. I think a 40k-50k bet would have been called by Ivey, possibly not, but it was definitely the best chance to make money on that river, where DN should be pretty much positive he has the best hand.

I watched this episode with Brad Booth and he felt it was a good check.

I ALSO watched this episode with Brad Booth and I disagreed with him. :-) I think he was more strong about Ivey's check being good, and I said I thought DN's check was bad. He thought it was fine. The reason not to bet is that Ivey could easily have a set, so if DN bets it is bet-fold. DN doesn't seem to be too hot on the whole bet and fold plan.
