Default Re: Here\'s the actual sequence in the final hand

You are forgetting the essential part of this hand, they are "heads up". The hands a big stack will be aggressive with in this context are much weaker than usual.

I buy the overexhausted excuse much more than this analysis. They were still plenty deep, there's no need to go broke on this hand. The board was 3 to a straight. You don't want to go broke with top pair weak kicker when your stack is still 25 rounds strong.

I'm not syaing it was an easy laydown, but I think a better player could have gotten away from it. The value of the draw that he has is pretty small at that point, given that it makes a weak straight at best and there's only one card to come.
