We take a look back at the PokerStrategy.com TV World Championships. This was a winner-takes-all format where only one of six players would progress to the next stage.

paradox2 has been the most active player at the table, raising almost every hand that was folded to him, and had a very loose image. Neither swordfish007 and twicet had got particularly out of line so far at this table, both had tight images.

Obviously we know what the players had, but should paradox2 fold his tens here given that it was a winner-takes-all format, he had a very loose image and the stacks were already quite shallow?
