Top 5 Biggest Hands on High Stakes Poker #1

by Blake on August 2nd, 2008

Funny how many all in hands end up happening between a monster like two pair or a set and a flush draw. Guys, even pros like David Benyamine, can’t help but to raise with the 4 flush even though it is a dog against any pair without overcards.

Still though I can’t blame him for the first raise here, when Farha comes out betting, as Sammy is so aggressive that you pretty much have to pin him to the wall when you can.

I’m not sure I love the all in over the top play to Laliberte’s reraise of his raise, though, it seems obvious that a player like that, especially one with billions of dollars coming out of his eyes, isn’t going to go anywhere after he puts in the third raise, and you are looking to get all in with just a flush draw.

I also really hate that Guy does the nice guy move and lets them take the money back. It kind of completely negates the drama of the hand, but at the same time, if I were David, I would be thankful that Guy is there for the thrill and not to break people with his massive stacks.
