0:00 -- HCL Review and commentary w Nick Vertucci 7:00 -- More WSOP news now no mask mandate11:35 -- Final explanation as to why all parties have to agree to run it more than once in all pots that they are involved with or else it "steals" someone's equity. 3 way all-in. Short stack has $400, Hero and Player B are $2000 effective. Players get it all-in on the flop. Main pot is $1200, side pot is $3200. Short stack has top set, Hero has middle set but his quad out is exposed so he's drawing dead. Player B has a draw. Scenario 1 -- Short stack wins first run Player A and B lose $400 each in main pot Scenario 2-- Player B wins first run, short stack is dead. Player B wins 50% of $1200 pot or $600 for a net win on ONLY $200. Conclusion: Hero has the opportunity to win half the pot if he loses and player B wins first run, but Player B does not have the opportunity to win half the main if the short stack wins run 1.21:38 -- 2 Hands from Hustler

An interesting hand reading exercise that comes from an email submission to the Crush Live Call-in show. Bart goes through the logic process and boils down the villain's holding to one specific hand. UTG ($50) raise to $10, Hero ($1100) calls Ah Ad. Fold to BB ($900) 3! bets to $40, UTG calls. Hero 4! bets to $120. BB calls, UTG calls all-in for $10. FLOP: Qs 7h 5d($150/$140) BB checks. Hero bets $175, BB thinks its $75 and calls, doesn’t know its $175 but they force him to keep the $75 in the pot so he calls the $175.TURN: Js ($150/$490) BB checks, Hero bets $250, BB calls. RIVER: Ac ($150/$990) BB checks Hero call-in $350, BB calls. What hand does he have here?
