I can only imagine that he did make a full house or something and knew there was no way he could beat Deeb. Hoping for lucky rush I guess?

But look at Deebs board! lol. And he bet in the dark. How is Tran not calling in the dark for 30,000 here

That'd be one heck of a lucky rush. If he had ten times as many chips it'd be one heck of a lucky rush.

The only possible explanation is that maybe he thinks he can still move up a money spot somehow. Or these numbers are wrong. Or the hands have been reported wrong. It just makes no sense to me.

[sobefuddled]

I wonder. It would be intresting to see exactly what he did in the early part of the tournament dring the Razz game. This tournament was obviously designed to be totally unforgiving of mistakes in the early stages. I'm sure that's why it was set up as it was. Anyone know if he played/won any Razz hands early on?

Hand #22 - John Hanson

Hand #22 - (Omaha 8 or Better) Amnon Filippi has the button in seat 7, Fitoussi raises to 120,000, Hanson calls, Filippi calls from the button, and Tran calls from the big blind. The flop comes {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}, Tran bets 60,000, Fitoussi folds, Hanson calls, and Filippi folds. The turn card double-pairs the board with the {K-Spades}, Tran bets 120,000, Hanson raises to 240,000, and Tran calls. The river card is the {3-Hearts}, and both players check. Hanson shows A-K-x-x for trip kings with an ace kicker, and Tran mucks. John Hanson wins the pot.

SB bets out, ldo he's got the king beat

Not obvious at all, that's a good flop to bluff at.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sure, but it'd still be a pretty risky bluff against three other opponents holding 4 cards imo. I know my AKxx would've been in the muck after that flop, especially with no draws.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not goiong to assume when an aggressive player bets out there, he has to have a 9. He could be on a draw, have a K, or be on a stone bluff. I'm going to call there just about every time with AKxx, getting 9 to 1.

[/ QUOTE ]

If I was the last person to act, I might take a card off there, but I'm still not liking my hand.. Hanson may have had a gutshot too that I didn't take into consideration, but I'm thinking he's drawing very slim here regardless. That and the fact that Amnon is behind and still yet to act leads me to believe that surely one of these guys has to have the 9 and this isn't the spot I want to be in.
I dunno if strat posts are even supposed to be in this forum, but whatever, he still seems like a [censored] to me.

Deeb is great TV imo. Hopefully he has enough one liners like this one to keep things interesting (I'm blindly assuming the other players are vapid milquetoasts).

When Fredy Deeb turned over the nuts after he was all in, he shouted, "Cocktails! Time for a cognac, baby!"

A happy Deeb wanted to celebrate surviving his third all in over the last hour by partaking in a drink.

Good O8 players tend to fold hands with a 9 in them, but yeah, it probably isn't the place to debate strategy, so that will be my final word on the subject.

[TimTimSalabim]

I wonder if anyone still thinks this structure is too fast.

Tran has 30,000 left after this fold

how can this possibly be true. he has better than 40-1 on that last call. What, he's gonna find a better spot for that 30,000? It's a bring in.

Edit: Honestly, the more I look at this, it just can't be right. What am I missing?

Looking forward to seeing this hand on TV.
