Where is the problem?
Calldown HU in an unraised pot with second pair is not that uncommon. And if he calls the turn he has to call the river too, if a blank like the 2 comes.

You can tell this is not an online hand. If it were online Chan would have the flush and Phil the straight. The river would have filled them both online. I dont think I would call this Phil outplaying JC, I would call it a really poorly played hand where he got lucky. Id like to see him try this online, at ULTIMATE BET perhaps. LOL he wouldnt last two hands.

Iamaddicted, I think you're a tad too cynical to be honest, this is a heads up and not two people playing against each other out of a table of 6-10.
Insinct came into play during this hand, and those of you that play HU on a regular basis will have made better calls. Props to Hellmuth though, against Tran it can't be an easy call, even though the all in stunk of weakness...
take him to valuetown instead
