High Stakes Poker (TV Series) Episode #8.9 (2021) User Reviews

You should be sorry Phil, that's not a sound decision, it's just playing on scared money.

Daniels goes from betting 1300 into an 8600 pot with a flopped flush to betting 30000 on the river, easy fold for Ivey with Q's. Dwan made the right decision to check with no chance of winning there vs Daniels with 9's when the river mirrored the turn. I dislike when players think they have to bet because they can't win in a showdown, when it's not believable and unlikely to succeed. Daniels bets 2nd pair on the river and insta calls Hernandez's raise. Seeing this a lot this season, it's really bad. The pot increases each street generally and so do the bet amounts, so to lead out on the river and call an over-raise is about one the worst things you can do in poker. Not a super eventful episode, despite the big hitters at the table.
