Both players were delirious after 13.5 hours of poker, added to the stress of the tournament, a week of hair-pulling decisions, TV cameras, cheering crowds, and a pile of $7.5 million dumped on the table behind them.

I'm surprised they could even sit upright in their chairs and handle chips, let alone play solid poker. And you're wondering why Dannenmann didn't get away from a hand after turning top pair?

After he turned top pair Hachem bet out $2 million, then re-raised Dannenman's raise to $5 million all-in. The easiest read in the hand was probably putting Dannenman on that ace when he re-raised the turn, so yeah, I guess I am wondering why he thought he had Hachem beat when Hachim put him all-in after the ace fell.
