Re: WSOP final table hand
Thanks for all the comments on this hand guys. I kind of knew I was making a mistake when I folded, but maybe the stakes got in my head and I didn't want to go out drawing to a 2 outer, and given my stack size at that point thought I could steal blinds up to a similar position. Also, irrational or not I could see Tex just calling my raise here with AK so I put that in his hand range.
With about 12 people left the day before, I lost about 1/3 of my stack on a similar play when I raised preflop with JJ, Black calls in the blind, flop comes Kxx and he ends up showing down KJ. Maybe this was in my head too.
When I saw Tex at the Borgata, I told him i was going to look like a donkey on a hand against him on TV, and he said he didnt remember the hand (I believe him) and said he might have had AK. I said no you didnt, and he goes yeh I might not have had a K, and i said yeh no [censored]. oh well
