I love laliberte for that. That was the most generous moment I've seen in poker ever

[@sammerritt7827]

Guy Laliberte is the man for understanding the situation and doing something super nice. Respect to him.

[@da3v1ls93]

I agree, he didn't have to do that. I dare say of the shoe was on the other foot and ne was a 2:1 dog he wouldn't change anything

[@robertacierno2803]

It obviously was stupid of him to offer that deal, unless he just really liked David or felt badly for him. But if you make the difficult call with top 2 there, you don’t let the guy out of 600 for 43. You run it two or three times and maybe David gets a piece back. But from a poker perspective, it was terrible for himself to offer that.

[@pauldavis5665]

@@robertacierno2803 it is not "stupid" of him to offer the deal because his intent was to be a nice guy and just give David a break. He knew he was the big favorite to win, he just wanted to be a nice guy, nothing wrong with that. Guy is a billionaire, from his perspective this is a friendly casual game, this is no where near high stakes for him.

[@GrandmaBetty1945]

In hindsight I think Guy did this because David is also French. He has sympathy for his countryman

He big leagued him though, although if i got into a spot with those percentages id take my money back each time.

Benjamin should not have taken the deal. That's like stealing from someone. It's obvious that Laliberte doesn't know anything about poker.

@@tombirch8689 A lot of these guys were probably sharing action. This game started so they could fleece Guy. Most these guys are shady.

[@lukashelmhart5289]

He didnt play with all of his money because at this time benyamine already won millions but 600k would have hurt him a lot. Also he probably had 20 or 30 pc of his own money on the table. The only guy who played 100 pc on his own was guy . Even antonius and negreanu were probably staked. Okay jamie gold probably played 100 pc on his own cause who the f is stupid enough to stake him at this sick game vs the best at the time.

This is a tough one! We tried figuring out what defines pot size and if you look at the from how much a player won versus how big the pot was when they ended up all in you're going to end up with a very strange list. Which hand do you think was the "biggest pot?"

For all those who kindly answered me: the main and more important point is that a lot of people (including many pro-players and some of you, no offence guys) confuse texas hold'em with bingo, that is supposed to be a good opinion if you be part of that 2% of people that have luck as genetic gift, because that's the thing we are talking about, you have it or you don't, very simple; players like Antonius thinks to be unlucky for a Q on the river whilst believe to be good player for the K on the turn, not to mention that he started with a smaller hand (pretending to win anyway...) got the point? Good player when you win, unlucky when you loose, very convenient position, don't you think? Have a nice day.
