I watched this on Youtube last week.  It is brilliant to watch but still don"t know how he folded those Kings.  The 7-2 game seems like a great idea though! There"s another hand where someone (I forget who) loses almost well over $50000 dollars trying to win with it, he probably doesn"t think it"s such a good game  :)

In Luton at the european event I had a bet with my mate Alan who was on the FT that if he won a hand a shown 72 I would give him 20 quid.

Lucky you didn"t make that bet with Gareth...;D  He"d be odds on.

Can"t quite understand how he chucked his kings, but I guess those guys play against each other so much that he must have thought he had a hunch.  How wrong can you be though.  ;D

Im not saying its an easy fold or anything but there are a good few hands that beat him at the river.  He was reraised preflp and then checked to on a flop youd expect a raiser to bet at, especially as the preflop raise priced him in (didnt look like he was trying to be pushed off the hand). The check looks like a big hand has hit and hes looking for someone to catch a hand that will pay off.

For all his critics PH played the hand really well.  If I was MM, rather than speculating on the flop I would have bet out to find out where I was.
