Go search for this in the PLO forum for your answer, they had a lot of fun with this hand after the show aired.

Cunningham clearly didn't want a call he was trying to get the flush out and probably thought williamson was doing the same thing or had a weaker boat and was trying to get hellmuth to pay the flush off to him. Do you call that with K6 or a flush? Cunningham didn't think he had a 6 and he had an ace. Only hand he could have then to make that play is AK or maybe KK. I'd have to think williamson is capable of making that raise without those exact cards.

It's not as bad as it looked. Calling with that hand like a I'm sure a lot of you would was 100x worse of a play.

I actually wanted to comment on this episode but I thought no one would care about it anymore.

I wasn't impressed with Cunningham's play at all during this final table. I definitely think he's an amazing player and probably better than most in Omaha, but compared to a lot of the other players I don't think his skills in Omaha are CLOSE to professional. His raise on this board was just bad unless he misread his hand, his calling down Hellmuth with a double gutshot hand when the flush came in was also quite bad, and some of his other plays were marginal if nothing else.

True dat. There was a thread about this hand in the PLO forum when that episode first aired. However, the search feature and archives for the PLO forum are often broken for some reason.

Robert could very well have been raising with AQ or less, since there was no action before the river.
