The possibility of him getting drawn out and losing almost his entire stack outweighed the attempt to get the extra 800k.

You have just written down the problem (finally). This is true only for you!!! Not for Greg (nor for anyone else who wants to win rather than just move up in position a few notches), how can you not understand this?

Let me point this out for the 5th time, so you can comprehend that your wrong. Hachem played his big pairs differently. He had AA and KK several times, and didn't let it get past the flop. He flopped trip jacks against Ivey, and move in immediately after Ivey made a pot sized raise. He could've called several times on several occasions, and built the pot. He didn't. He won. Did he not win? Did Greg not get draw out, and lose? Can YOU understand this?
