WSOP Day 6: "Official" Results, News & Discussion (Part 2)

[PartySNGer]

What a joke, could that fish Kanter have played this any worse? Is this a 10+1 or the WSOP ME? Questionable call PF, idiotic call on the flop.

Hand 20 - Ayhan Alsancak has the button in seat 5, Raymer raises, and Kanter calls. The flop comes 6c-5d-3h, and there's a bet and a call. The turn card is the 7h, Kanter bets $600,000, and the two players are quickly all in. Raymer shows pocket kings (Kd-Kh), and Kanter has Qh-Jh. Kanter has a flush draw, and needs to catch a heart to win the pot. The river card is the 2h, and Kanter makes his flush to double up through Greg Raymer.

Kanter's supporters are ecstatic, and cheering loudly, but the rest of the room is nearly silent as crowd-favorite Greg Raymer loses a huge pot. You can distinctly hear the cheers, but the silence in the rest of the room is almost
overpowering. Aaron Kanter now has somewhere between $3.5 and $4 million, while Greg Raymer is crippled down to about $400,000.

Blinds about to go up to 25/50/5, Greg will have to catch some cards soon.

Kanter is all-in with Qh Jh on a 6c 3h 3d 7h board. Raymer calls and shows Kh Kd. The river is the 2h, and Kanter doubles up with a flush.

Man this brings back horrible memories of a hand I busted out in 3rd place with a while back...same thing. I Had KK, opponent had QJ suited...made the flush on me. Yeouch.

Better than 4:1 favourite. I'd say "mildly" is putting it mildly. Sad business.

Bullshit? LOL, how can this be BS? Thousands of other players endured suckouts like this throughout the whole WSOP, but the fact that Raymer finally got his is BS?

Calling off all your chips with a flush draw in the WSOP in the top 25 against the defending champion = +EV

[PartySNGer]

This is ridiculous. Weak call PF, coldcalling a raise with QJ, then calls on the flop with what? A backdoor flush draw and 2 overs that can't even be considered as full outs? What a joke! Kanter belongs in a Party 10+1 chasing weak ass draws.

Keep in mind that in addition to the 8 outs to win, there were 3 outs to split. It wasn't that horrendous a beat.
