Pretty weak play by CK Hua though, I guess he just wanted to get Lex…

Here’s a quote from the youtube comments:

These commentators have no idea what is going on.

Murphy is not calling twice with A high because he thinks his hand is good, he’s calling to represent a 2 and steal the pot on the river.
Because he knows John Juanda almost never has a 2 as a pre flop raiser and Murphy could defend his blind with A2. Also he’s first to act on the river and he knows Juanda is not committed on this street.
If you are Juanda there and you have AQ or even kings, you can’t make the call for all your chips

Why? Well, Poker God Gavin Smith explains it very well in this short video:

He’s holding 56s in this hand against the great Phil Ivey and decides to play it very aggressively. On the turn he makes a pair and an open-end straightdraw (to give him thirteen out against any pair really) pretty much drawing dead against 9T and 45 (which he could have known Phil didn’t have) so he decided to all-in semibluff with his last $90,000. I like the play because he’s pretty much drawing live, and should have loads of fold equity knowing Phil will most likely fold any pair, maybe even Jacks, Queens or Kings…

Phil makes a good call but gets drawn out on by Brian.

The whole Full Tilt Poker discussion in the comments is so stupid.

Pros in the video: Chris ‘Jesus’ Ferguson, Jennifer Harman, Erick Lindgren, … and the whole crew in the final cut. :)

This talk they’ve had with Liz Lieu, “The Poker Diva”, on a break of the APPT. She makes sense, talking about tightening up as a relative shortstack close to the bubble…

I know theory says to play aggressive when people tighten up close to the money, but I only agree when you’re up against smaller stacks in a specific hand. No need to risk anything as a short stack — someone else will!

She looks lovely as ever. :)
