On the last hand of that tourney, Stuey comes over the top of his opponent. They both flopped a pair of aces, but Stuey is outkicked. He wins by getting lucky, hitting his kicker or a gutshot wheel, I forget which, but in any case, if he could read the backs, that's exactly the spot he'd save money in BY KNOWING HE WAS BEAT, AND FOLDING.
Which he did not do.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
This is the play of last hand:
Approx chip count: SU 2300K JS 820K
sb SU - SU raises 40,000 and JS calls. The flop is Ac 5d 3h. JS bets 120,000, SU raises 800,000 and JS calls 630,000 all-in. SU shows Ah 4c and JS shows As 8c. The turn is the 3d and the 2s on the river makes a wheel for SU. SU wins the hand.
John Strzemp finishes 2nd and Stu Ungar wins the 1997 WSOP $10,000 No-Limit Holdem Final Event World Championship at 3:02 PM.
Looks like Stu did know what the other cards were and thought he could buy the hand with a raise. This is what happened on many hands before this one. Not once was a bluff made against a strong hand. Even if called he could win on the spot or if he lost continue to use his "advantage".  |
