Again you are leaving out important factors. One D'agostino had so many chips in front of him that loosing that pot with 99 wouldnt have hurt him one but. Originally he called a raise then the other player moved all in the original riaser called. So with all the blinds and antes as well as money he put in originally with his 99 (yes he was correct to see a flop with 99 to a raise) his call of the all in was good considering the equity. Also, Hoyt had been stealking blinds repeatedly its a matter of time before you have to defend it. John did it at the perfect time as he was a huge favorite pre-flop. But he lost anyways. John doesnt play a poor game he just plays a super agressive game that you wont find in a book. Just cause its not text book doesnt mean its not right. He played a great tournament and got unlucky and i dont know why they hell we are talking abnout this a year later.
