Both players miss the flop, both players don’t feel like backing off, and both players have the correct read on the other player. Excellent stuff!

Vicious poker — and I love it. At no point did Phil think he had the best hand in this one. At 2:35 you can actually see phil think “omgwtfbbq is going on in this one?!”. Sick, but breathtaking poker — enjoy it!

Youtube commenter Yoshi summed it up right, though:

“The deciding factor was that Jackson left 380K behind him with a million chip pot…which was illogical/unnatural. He would be pot committed later anyways if Ivey called. “
