So what were everyones thoughts on last nights episode?

I only watched parts of it and need to watch the others in case I missed anything good.

Guy must be staking Benyamine. Also for a guy that shoves 600k in the middle on a flush draw, David looked awful nervous.

This hand is as far as I watched (during halftime of MNF). I think Benyamine knows exactly how light Guy will shove there, so his reaction to Guy flipping over his cards come from realizing that his A outs are not good.

Believing you have 45% equity if called and realizing you only have 32% for that size pot will turn anybody's stomach.

Guy is way too nice. Way too nice. If he had agreed to run it 3 or 4 or 5 times, that would have been nice, but just letting David off the hook like that (for what? $48k?) with 1.2 million in the middle is crazy...

I know he's super rich and all, but if this money is too big for these guys to lose, they shouldn't be in the game in the first place.

I think it's clear the money is too big, as Doyle said, especially with the overall skill level of the players. It's one thing if it's 3 big pro's and 5 or 6 whales, but that's not what this is.

I think people forget that the big game is primarily limit, and when they do rotate in a PL or NL game, the pots are capped at something like $250K.

Doyle said that the only guy who is adequately rolled for the game is Guy.

The rest of the show was sort of boring. best part of the broadcast was Katja's 'Stars commercial.

I thought the Doyle's Room commercial with Pamela Anderson was amusing.

What a letdown that 1.2m pot hand was. Next time play it out guys.

Yeah, Doyle's was great, too. "Nice pair"

And forget playing the big pots straight. gabe has it right. These guys are going to deal every time that moch cash goes in. Maybe not like Guy did, but they'll always run it multiple times.
