I've just finished watching this episode Gavin Smith played some exquisite poker. Some of the highlights were
a) Holding KQ, he limps from the SB, hits his Q on the river making top pair, then being first to act he CHECKS and calls the half pot bet by Minh Ly. It was a reasonably non scary board...no flush possibilities, no pairs and his only danger was if Minh Ly held 3,5 for the straight...which he did. (b) Minh Ly raises in LP with J9o and Gavin (with a larger stack) pushes from the BB holding T9o. Minh obviously folds...(c) Gavin raises with A7 and Minh Ly pushes with K8. Gavin is left crippled if he loses the race. He makes a great call and unfortunately for him Minh spikes the K.Minh was playing wildly...consistently getting his chips in with the worst of it and/or incorrect odds. Dan played some great poker...almost took down the title when he had Minh on the ropes with all the chips in the middle and Dan holding the dominating hand...but he lost that pot and Minh made the comeback.A very enjoyable WPT!
