Mikita Badziakouski and Billy Argyros talked over the hand after they played out a healthy pot that went the way of the Australian.
They were in the blinds and Badziakouski led for 12,000 on the turn and was called so that a 
rested in the middle of the table. Badziakouski fiddled with the 48,000 chips he had left to play with. It looked like he was going to make a pot-sized shoved but changed his mind and checked. Argyros muttered the hand through to himself and then elected to check behind. Badziakouski opened and lost out to his opponent's .
"Would you have folded if I shoved? asked Badziakouski.
Argyros said in that instance he would've done but he also said he had would've played many hands all the way, letting Badziakouski bluff off his whole stack.

Ronaldo certainly got value for money today due to the amount of hands he was involved in. Unfortunately for him, he played one hand too many and it cost him.
There was a raise to 1,400 from the hijack and Ronaldo called on the button before the big bind squeezed to 4,200. The original raiser moved all in and Ronaldo called all in, which was enough to force out the big blind. Ronaldo opened pocket sixes but his opponent had aces and no six appeared on the board to save the football legend.
