funny WCOOP #4 final table hand

[LoveDub]

Get him to show you his winkie!

I read on another forum about this. There were alot of ppl that thought there was collusion involved, and that the guy that lost was dumping chips to the guy that won.

Here's an email someone got from Poker Stars:


Thank you for your email; as I'm sure you are aware, we were observing the final table closely, and this hand raised a few eyebrows around here as well. Given that wrap_99 lost the hand, there are only two possible hands for him to have held: 62 and 52; both are fairly reasonable given the action prior to the river, and the call on the river seems to simply have been a product of fatigue after a long event, not noticing that he'd been counterfeited by the higher two pair.

Note as well that in the way this hand was played, the larger stack built
up a much bigger stack, as opposed to normal collusion methods, which is to
try to keep each other alive. After this hand, wrap_99 was moved down to
essentially last place in the tourney and was struggling to survive. This
hand is actually quite the opposite of what colluders would normally do.

There is nothing to indicate that these players know each other or
colluding in any way; it is simply as wrap_99 said: he made a stupid
mistake.

This would be about the dumbest form of collusion EVER. There's a lot more subtle ways to do it then someone betting 8 hi and 6 hi calling. For instance, 6 hi could bet a bunch on river, and 8 hi can raise allin. That way it wouldn't look weird.
