How could he fold 85s with the big blind coming up?

Hand?!

For us ignorant ones :-)

He had 31k , winner take all and almost no chance anyway, but he couldnt even complete the blind on the next hand, folded preflop. Hes connected and suited, what more can he hope for.

Oh, and I think he already had 5k ante in.

yeah, that was definitely bizarre.

i thought it was funny how brunson just started playing like he didn't care and ended up winning.

some other incredible plays:

scotty ngyuen losing almost nothing with QQ when brunson had AA.
ted forrest playing flawlessly in every hand they showed. it was so funny to hear brunson keep saying how awesome forrest is.

"i was pretty sure i was going to be the worst player at this table, but now i'm positive..."
