Sometimes players are lucky with the cards in the decisive hand. But Max Neugebauer won through thinking. He says very interesting things in the article.
Neugebauer won the tournament by making a hero all-in call with third pair, even though an ace fell on the turn.
“I just thought, he wouldn’t c-bet from how he played before. He wouldn’t c-bet his range. I think he would’ve checked a lot of ace-x. So I discounted a lot of ace-x. I thought it was very, very easy to overbluff this spot because he has all the bluffs. He doesn’t have all the ace-x. Also, it seems like a very good card for him to bluff, and with those wide ranges I felt like it’s just a very decent call because he was playing somewhat aggressive. I felt like he wanted to push it and overtake the chip lead. With those wide ranges in that spot I felt like it was a good call, and I called.”
