I think I missed this show when it originally aired, thanks for the heads up it was on. Does anyone know the rough stack sizes when the dude called with K2 and also when he called with QJo?

Also, what were the stack sizes on the last hand, it seemed like an awful call with middle pair and no redraw.

Just before the K2 v A5 hand, ESPN showed stack sizes of Kabbaj 988K, Vaswani 655K, Sica 310K. Sica raises to 100K, Vaswani goes allin, Sica calls.

Ram with 88 calls 20k in the sb, Sica raises to 100k with QJ, Ram goes allin, telling Sica he has 375k left.

Sica at 1.045M Kabbaj at 908K Kabbaj calls 15k in the sb, Sica raises to 100k with QQ, Kabbaj calls. Sica goes allin, Kabbaj calls.

I like how ESPN explains away how the final 3 changed clothes by saying they used the break to "freshen up", while there's a notable increase in the size of the crowd and the room looks much brighter.

On those numbers the last call does look to be terrible, especially assuming the caller was the much more skilled player with a lot of play left. Was he a pro?

The QJ call was not bad at all on those numbers was it? Looks fine to me with a quick eyeball of the math.

The k-2 hand doesn't look to good.

I didn't get the clothes comment, did the final table spill over into the next day?

Kabbaj was definitely the much better player over Sica (on the show, Chad said he was inspired after seeing Tony D "fold" with 3 jacks against Phil Hellmuth). The final table went until 3am with 3 still left, which is why they suddenly changed clothes.

Daliman,

Excellent post. I had actually read it but before I saw the episode and it slipped my mind.

The last call was really what got me. He had to expect to face at least a flush draw and an overcard. The stacks were pretty deep, I just don't get that one.
