I heard the commentators talking about that - crazy laydown.
Just shows the buy-in amount is affecting the game to a big extent.
Yeah crazy lay down. The guy didn't show his hand but I think he could easily have a ace high flush or jacks full there. Folding quads is definetly not in my move list, even in a 1 million buy-in tournament Phil Galfond said it was a "reasonable" fold considering the board and the players but he would've never been able to do it.
Funny thing is, the same guy who laid down his quad 8 got quad 9 on the river later and crippled Negreanu and Dwan. (Dwan had aces and Negreanu had nut flush draw on the flop with A10o)

Dam @ crippling those two with quads...nice to get quads twice in a tournament with such a buy-in.
Yeah i heard the board could have straight flush potential, i mean it happens, but it's still a crazy lay down, maybe they had a feeling they caught it.

I had no chance of going there to watch a little bit, but it must be really intense. After all, we are talking about the biggest buy-in ever practiced, and those who got a place there don’t want go leave their investment in na easy way. I don’t know how the limits are defined in terms of time for each level, but yesterday they were 37 and today they are 9, it must be a bit long, but justifiable. One Drop will be one time experience for all these players.

Posted by doomdy: The hand went like this:
Smirnov: Morgan: [x] [x]
Board:
Smirnov raised at river, Morgan over the top allin, Smirnov folds.
------------ So Smirnov folded quads, before the bubble. Crazy laydown, for sure i cant do this also not with this money involved.
That is unbelieveable, but I guess that's what he thouight was best. I guess I'd have been watching from the sidelines if I was in that position and the quad 8's would have gotten busted by a straight flush. Took a lot of I don't know what to lay that down!
Sam Trickett busted Rast with quad 3s on the river. Rast had the nut flush on the flop with AJs and was trapping. But Sam had a set so he would've probably never folded if Rast raised him on the flop or the turn. So both guys played the hand very well, but Trickett got lucky on the river!
So many quads in this game They seem to play very tight in general, but Esfandiari just floated twice and bluffed Einhorn on the river with a pair of 8
Yep, congrats to Esfandiari, very good player 18.3 millions for him and 10.1 for Trickett. Funny thing is Trickett really seemed to be sad that he didn't win... But second place was still a bigger prize than the WSOP main event Of course it's not nice to "lose" 8 millions in a heads-up, but there's nothing to be sad about, he played great! Esfandiari just won the important pots.
