Re: WSOP Main Event Day 4 thread
Holt [censored]!!! That's a pot.
Edit: I just re read the hand and WTF?? It doesn't make any sense. F'in Cardplayer. Jamie Gold Shows Mike McClain calls the big blind from middle position, along with Jamie Gold on the button. The flop comes 933, McClain bets $50,000, Gold raises to $100,000, McClain re-raises to $300,000 and Gold pushes all-in for $2,100,000. McClain goes into the tank for about 5 minutes and Gold turns to him and says "Let me check to see if I have it." Gold gives the thumbs up to McClain and tells him its not too late to get off his hand. McClain says "I don't know if I like you that much anymore" and folds. McClain turns over 99 for the flopped full house and is now at $2,550,000.

It doesn't seem to make any sense at all. Why wouldn't he call and see if McClain would bet into him again on the turn? Edit: this is based on Gold having the 99, of course.

Considering what we've been reading about loose calls, it's hard to think his opponent had and folded a 3. If his opponent doesn't have a 3, it's going to be hard to win a much bigger pot anyway.

Likely cost himself a good chunk if not all of McLain's chips with McLain drawing to 2 or fewer outs. EDIT: I see that 3 other posters beat me to making this point. Upon further reflection, on no planet is a push correct. With McLain drawing to 2 (overpair), but probably 0 outs, giving him a free card is harmless.
