Biggest pot on tv Ivey v Dwan...is poker on TV fixed???

1. I would have been calling Dwan worse than anything for calling with 76h after my big raise
2. Poker is obviously fixed !!! Action card on the turn
3. Phil Ivey, I think, was taken in by Dwan and his aggressive way of playing - He hardly thought of the various possible hands Dwan could have
4. Pot odds, at this level, seem to go out of the window. Dwan had to call 35k to see the turn in a pot of 84.5k - just over 2:1 with 7 high, no flush draw and possibly 3 outs as the 4clubs could have given Ivey the flush. I would like someone to explain this play to me please? All I can think is he was thinking Ivey was on a draw and he was going to bluff the river if Ivey had checked - however, any card other than the 3 4`s and he is struggling to call anything

Explain the play? He's Tom Dwan... he bets he bluffs and he never lets go of a hand if there is a possibility of winning big with it.

No way anyone can get away from that hand 3 handed, especially against durrrr.

Ivey knows Dwan is raising him really light, Dwan knows Ivey knows this and his SC is a flip against Ivey's range. Ivey knows that Dwan knows this. Dwan knows that Ivey knows that he knows.

I really don't want to be rude/condescending.
I'll leave my response to 2 as "..."
3. Phil Ivey, I think, was taken in by Dwan and his aggressive way of playing - He hardly thought of the various possible hands Dwan could have
Yes he did consider what Dwan could have. I absolutely guarantee that Ivey would think about this, I think he could be playing tired, drunk and tilting and still think about this. I think he'd find it easier to forget how to breathe than forget to put his opponent on a range. This is not an advanced concept.
Quite simply, Dwan's range is really, really wide in most spots. He's not the kind of player you're going to fold the 3rd nuts to very often because you're usually so far ahead of his range.
4. Pot odds, at this level, seem to go out of the window.

I reffer you back to my response to your first point. Dwan knows that Ivey knows that Dwan knows.... pot odds don't mean a whole lot.

Do you think Phil ever thought Durrr was playing 6 7 ? Didn't seem like it, I think he was so supprised he hit his straight he forgot to think any more, even if I thought someone played 6 7 how could you fold, the best move for Ivey was not an all in . I would have liked to see the next hand too........

Poker is "obviously fixed"? Haven't you played enough to know that anything can and will happen???

Great video though, thanks.
