Even though you know that Phil Ivey thinks he owns you, he not only knows that you think he owns you, but he owns you again, knowing that you know that he thinks he owns you, and then he re-owns you. again.

AND you fold the worst hand.

Beautiful poker...

Jackson's problem was that he was acting too strong on his re-raises. Then he was like a deer in headlights when Phil was studying him.

The crazy part about this hand???

Well Phil's final all-in put the pot at approximately 1.6 million. Jackson said he had about 390,000 left. That's appx. 4-1 pot odds and you need >20% to call. The graphic on the screen (22% dog) showed Jackson had the pot odds to call and should have with his remaining stack, even if at worst he thought Phil had two overs, which he did!

And if he had called, Phil with air the entire time, would have hit the turn and river as a massive favorite.

Amazing on so many levels...and even more so given that this was the final table in which 400K was at stake (1mil for winner, 600k for second). I can assure you Phil wasn't cutting any deals with this guy.
