Easy-peasy $5,000

You've just streamed a nice poker session, you are happy, viewers are happy, why not end it with a quick $5,000 win in blackjack? It feels like it's your day today anyway! But be careful, blackjack results are even more famous than poker for not meeting players' expectations...

Reraise the flop? No, he doesn't have an ace

God knows what forced Blom to make that play in this spot, but both his hand and soul reading definitely failed him here.

In poker, big mistakes at the right time can make you fortunes.

9 high? Good enough for a call

I guess if Negreanu bluffed with his missed gutshots often enough on the river, this call can be justified on some level but probably not in this Universe.

I thought you had pocket kings

No Jennifer, your soul (and hand) reading need very serious revision.

You opponent's open cards sometimes aren't enough to choose the right play!

Alfredo clearly thought that his push on the river would make his opponent think that he must have pocket deuces. Well, his soul reading sucks, and he probably shouldn't be playing poker anymore if he can't even play against open cards!
