big bet at final table

What did people think of Robert's $900K+ call with AJos?


Obviously he is a wayy better player than me.

But my first inclination (minus a tell) was that his $90K reraise of a $60K raise was too little.


Then would think you'd muck that hand with so many chips left.

As you say, he got this far so he must be doing something right... but on this particular hand, I think he made a really ugly call. For all those chips, 9-handed, I think he had an easy fold. JMHO. Maybe he thought he had a tell that the other guy was bluffing...

I'm struggling just to get information on the current chips counts. Where are you getting such detailed reports? Thanks.

This was a horrendous call as was the call he made when Helmuth re-raised him. I don't know about all the great plays he made to win it but these two calls are very amateur. It's times like these when someone that would make calls like that wins that make me ashamed of poker.


Seems as if the best player didn't win.

robert opened for 60k, shipley reraise to 150k with AJo, robert moved in for about 800k more and shipley called with AJ. robert had JJ and doubled through...


robert's call of hellmuth's reraise was horrible, but his QT against RP's short stack all in at the finalt able with A9s, when he held that same QT again was somewhat understandable...

Where you expecting the single best player to beat a field of over 600 competitors?
