Dan Harringtons FT Huge raise w/ 26o. 2004 WSOP Main Event question.
 

On this hand Josh Arieh I believe raised to $275K w/ K9, Raymer called w/ A2 and when it got to Harrington he made this raise for more than half his stack (1.2M). If Raymer goes all in does Harrington call w/ 26o? I keep wondering this. Is he pot committed?

I don't know the answer but this was one of the coolest plays I've ever seen.

Buy HOH 1, he discusses the hand.

I think the answer is: he really didn't want to think about that possibility.

I think it would be a pretty obvious fold. Harrington doesn't really advocate calling a reraise on a bluff but instead advises to let them go usually. In this case while he has the pot odds his pot equity is so much lower that it would be a clear fold.

There was approx 1.8 million in the pot after his raise so If Raymer pushes then the pot is about 3.5 million and it's 800K to call. 4.5-1 odds are considerable but you'd have to push raymer on a pair after that action so it's a fold.

4.5:1 is about what you need if you believe he has an overpair and you have 2 undercards.

If it was exactly or close to 4.5:1, then folding would have the same EV as calling, but much higher variance. Therefore, it would be a fold.

Yes, but if there is some chance Josh or Greg would come over the top with a hand like AK, it is a call.
