I can understand if someone is going all in with A6o, but calling with this hand? You can't expect to have more than a coinflip with that hand, and most of the time you are in trouble.

You can't possibly say that without knowing the stack sizes.
Hrisca could have had like 5 BBs, Fry could have shoved the last 20 hands in a row etc etc etc, all these factors would make A6 a reasonable call.

As said Andiell, many factors could be reasons which forced the player to call with A6, if he had a little stack, sthg around 9 blinds or less, it is good to call with this hand, moreover , in heads-up, hands'value are not the same than in a full table. In a 10 seats table, A6 is a poor hand but in two players, how much is the probability than the other player has an Ace too whereas i have already one ? Very little...
Very good player, grats I red a whole italian live forum about this EPT tournament because a lot of italians were playing it. I want to congratulate with Alacqua and Serenelli, final table for them
