[@jordanmarry3151]

When Blumstien bets small on the turn and Ott just calls it pretty much caps his range. I mean, any big hand Ott was slow playing on the flop almost certainly raises the turn bet (except maybe the nuts which Blumstien blocks). Blank river makes it a nice river shove spot and a tough one to defend for Ott.

The more I watch this, the more I cringe at Blumstein. Sure, you're pumped winning a big hand, but yelling "HE"S DEAD!!! HE'S DEAD!!!" is really disrespectful. At least try and show some composure and class, goddamn.

I don't feel that way. He seems like a super nice guy, he's just really excited. It was a gigantic pay day at this main event.

he can shout 'he's dead' all he wants he knew the pot would likely win him the tournament. he went over and hugged him afterwards. no disrespect whatsoever

@TrillVice Lol. 4mil difference if he'd called. Yeah that hand will haunt him for life doubty doubterson.

[@otaldobullet]

Well for me it was a masterplay from Blumstein all words should go for him. So hard to make that call in that situation, for me Ott didnt do anything wrong, it was just Blumstein that played so damn well.

[@AlbertWesker-hx9ss]

Its a very hard spot to make a call with pair 8 in that spot, with an ace on the flop and your opponent 3 barreling. I made a call in that similar situation before but it was a 100€ tournament and I was 23. I dont think I still have it in me to make that kind of call anymore :(

[@iwishiwasthomasshelby]

He cried when he got home. I watched the documentary and he cried really bad.

[@HoangTruong-vk7ek]

its a 50/50 call. 3handed Blumstein could run a 3 barrel bluff with complete air. I think after Ott calls the turn Scott knows he has some thing, maybe a weak ace or a pair like 66-99. He knows shoving the river would put all those hands in a tough spot. On the otherhand, Ott prob thinks that even though Scott knows he has sth, he still shoves which means he prob has that "something" beat. Maybe 2 pair or a set. Thats why he folds. The 3 barrel bluff shove is such a rare move and it needs to execute with the read that your opponent was weak. Blumstein played it really well.

[@luckylenny87]

I love how people rip into Ott for folding 88 when 3rd place was short in chips. Calling was correct sure, but often it's ICM suicide when 3rd place is so short on chips.

[@DukeFan1971]

I think #1 should be #2, and #3 should be #1. A deuce on the River, 7% chance of winning the hand, and he went from drawing dead to WSOP Champion with a fricking DEUCE. You will likely never see that again. That should have been #1 by a MILE.

[@HoangTruong-vk7ek]

meh. You watch poker for the play not the cards. After the all in its just flipping out 5 cards to see who wins. Sure he went from 7% to 100% after one card but before the flop he was 1/4 to win it and it just happens to be one of those times he sucked out on the better hand. The best hand is the 5th where he bluff shoved with K10. Those hands define championships. Going all in and wait to see is just routine stuff.

[@DukeFan1971]

@@HoangTruong-vk7ek Not with THAT hand, it's not. Almost no one would have gone all-in based on what he had and what he knew. That took balls the size of L.A. to go all-in. The one you mentioned, I would put 2nd.
