Pocket aces doomed Mariano Grandoli during Friday's Hustler Casino Live stream in a $295,000 pot against Dan "Jungleman" Cates, who rivered a flush. But would the poker vlogger have saved the $85,000 river bet if not for holding an important blocker?
Before we show you the hand in question, Cates told PokerNews that he believes Mariano's play was game theory optimal (GTO) and that it was the correct decision. And we certainly aren't about to question the poker strategy of one of the best in the game who just so happens to be a likely future Poker Hall of Famer.
