I'm not sure what was worse, Brown's value check of the absolute nuts on the river to close the action, or Gazes' comments afterwards.

Coincidentally, Gazes' comments afterwards make Brown's check the worse of the two because he could've just pushed and gotten insta-called by 9-hi before she got back from space.

It's hard to blame Brown for this, though. You've gotta think any pro wouldn't call a bet from him then without an ace, so he was just being courteous.

I think its easy to blame a guy for checking the nuts in position HU. There is just no reason not to at least take a shot and hope your opponent has a brain fart. In this case he probably cost himself a double-up.

Its similiar to a broadway straight on board (no flush possible) in a Hold Em tournament. If its checked to you you should go all-in, despite the fact that any opponents you have are forced to insta call. If you catch 1 guy sleeping in a thousand then you're missing value by assuming everyone knows to call and checking to "save time" or whatever his justification was.
