[QUOTE="Alhazred, post: 533439, member: 20128"]
I can't figure out how to edit my posts cause I'm a moron, so I'll just have to say it here: Everything I wrote about the 42s vs KK hand is based on super-faulty memory. I just watched the hand on youtube and I must say, it happened much different than I remembered:
 
Williams raises to $1800 w J9.
Booth Re-Raises to $5800 w 42s (NEW to the table w $1 mill, and according to the other players' reactions when he sat down, his table image preceded him). 
Ivey Re-Re-Raises to $14000 w KK (and has somewhere around $300k)
Williams folds
Booth calls $8200 more (perfectly reasonable call in position with deep stacks)
 
Flop (763) w 2 diamonds
 
Ivey leads about half pot $23000 into $54000
Booth pushes allin. 
Ivey folds.
 
He's representing at least AA here... What else? Ivey has to put him on a big bluff to call, because the next best hand he can beat, QQ, just doesn't seem likely. Given Booth's rep he could've raised with any 2. Hell, he did. Ivey thinks big hand or no hand (or a flush draw like AK of diamonds), I guess. Opts for the safe route?
 
I dunno, I'm befuddled with both plays. No idea here. Booth risked something like $280k to win $75k, and if he's called he still has a few outs. Probably still +EV cause Ivey doesn't have to have AA or KK here.
