that 73s call is why he gets called on an all in with the other guy only having second pair. He worked his table image perfectly, congratulations!!!

With that spot, 10 BB to call and you are the chip lead why not it's a classic SB vs BB battle. It was a great call!
Thank you Jamie and Tuch you make the stream more enjoyable, you're a great team!! :)

Wasn't a good play but he's doing ok against any hand except an overpair. Even against AK he has like 35%. It's for 10BB. Learn short stack dynamics. This ain't a cash game, and it was only 20% of his stack.

The last hand was the worst. 107 calling 3x pot all in for tournament life with second pair. Even if he has a drawing hand with a sftp draw he has 35% with QKs he has half the deck to draw to win (50%). Second pair also has no kicker. Most of the time though you're drawing to 6 outs being the reason you should fold.

How many NLHE bracelets have been won with AA? I can't think of any others but I have limited knowledge on this topic.
Anyone not understanding the 73 call, it was pure spite to teach that other guy a lesson even if Wu lost, he could live with it and still has heaps to play with. Even needles him at the end by saying you should be battling the other short stack, not me. Calls him an idiot mid hand in Chinese for putting himself in that spot.

That 73 call..... What....
Listen closely what he says after the 73 call all-in. You are a better player headsup that him and me. That's why he takes the 10 BB call chance to knock him out. He proves his call is good because he gets the other player easily.

U can justify everything in the moment when u run hot i guess...

The middle pair jam is pretty standard. They were on less than 20bb and his hand is very strong blind on blind, but needs protection. His opponent just happened to have one of the worst possible hands 64 could be up against.

Well , he played brilliant. The 73o call was mathematically ok! He knew that in most scenarios , he would have almost 40% chance to win. And he needed to call almost 20% of his stacks. And he played soooo aggressive which is the right play when you are chip leading in a big tournament like this. Totally deserved to win 🥇 Congrats 🍾

It is really annoying. When Wu all in and talking Chinese to the lady.
I stopped watching when he called with 7/3 and smashed it
He said the guy who pushed all-in with j2 is a stupid dog in Chinese such a low-class person. Not gentle but he has money and be more in respect to ppl as most Chinese
I JUST CANT BELIEVE WHAT I WATCHED! This table might hold the record for having the dumbest poker players on Earth. Who the f goes all in with J 2? And that call with 7-3?? Really? 6-4 goes all in ?? And not to mention 10-7 at the end as middle pair keeps calling after the flop, and all in at the turn? Who the hell are these guys?? … These were by far the worst poker players I’ve seen . Wow.. it is disgrace to this game man.
Total Asian bingo luck. Calls all in with 7-3 and Binks. No way in hell this idiot didn't get supremely lucky with crap like that the whole tournament.

7 3 is a 100 % fold there :-s what a fish :-s that 10 7 hand ? .. also a clear fold .. wth is he thinking that Wu is repping there with that jam :-s .. either its KJ QJ or a set .. no way in hell he would jam for tournament life with a draw .. with this stick player :-s

7 3 might be a fold however the guy who was second in chips probably shouldn’t be shoving J2 due to the icm implications. Also the shove in the last hand looks very bluffy and with second pair that’s definitely not a clear fold. Hard to make a pair heads up.

The last hand is a clear fold. 3x pot all in for tournament life. Even if the guy has semi bluffs. His semi bluff flush draws with a straight draw is 35% with QK of spades open ended he is 50% against 107. I don't even see any semi bluffs with a 3x pot jam though. All I see is value hands like overpairs, sets, and two pairs.
