Nível 19 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

An interesting topic came up on the PokerStars live stream, which you can watch here, with commentator Joe Stapleton asking Maria Ho which player she thought studies the most.

"Davies has to be pretty well-studied," said Ho. "Lonis tweets that he's all exploitative and not a really a studier. And Sean [Winter] - I don't wanna assume, but I don' thtink he's the type that's poring over the solvers."

"But if you think about the people Davies runs with, Jason Koon and the like. Those people are obviously in the lab. And Mokri's a sicko, we know his online results. The online fields are very tough, so you wanna be doing some solver-approved stuff in those streets."

Action folded to Seth Davies on the button with A♣2♥ and he moved all in for 2,105,000, covering the two short stacks in the blinds.

Santhosh Suvarna K♣7♣ had 710,000 chips and used a time bank before folding, with Kayhan Mokri 10♠9♠ also quickly folding.

"That was crazy just now," said Davies. "I literally thought of a hand that I didn't know exactly what I was going to do. And that's what I got dealt. That was crazy. The one hand I thought about where I was like 'I'll figure that out if I get it'"
