Hey, Jake. I saw this hand. My thoughts:

Look at Luda Chris' face. He knows he's in trouble.
...Follow the commentator speak. I'm very surprised that Chris called.
...No Flush Draw, which is key. He has to be behind in one spot IMHO.

Mike X got hammered on this hand. Chris actually netted a Profit on this hand.

One other commentary on this hand. Beware the interest in multi-way hands on Low coordinated boards.

I can point to numerous examples. When multiple parties are interested, buyer beware. What are the holdings?

Two examples come immediately to mind:
1) McKeehan vs Luke Schwartz in the WSOP on a 632 board.
...Raiser opened, McKeehan called behind. Schwartz (who had limped Pre-flop) went All In.
...Schwartz's Pre Flop action telegraphed his hand. You only gain that much interest on a Set and very likely 22 or 33, a hand that's all-or-nothing.
...Pre-flop raiser contemplated and knew there was a call behind. He folded QQ!
...McKeehan called the All In. He had 66. He arguably has to have 45 or 66 to call the All In.

2) I saw a similar hand in recent live action. 4-way pot that flopped 532.
...I held 85 in the BB. I checked it, and all three players Bet or Called behind.
...I think my hand is junk, I fold. I actually would have turned Top 2 Pair on an 8.
...But I was miles behind. 22 and 55 were in play. Amazingly, the Small Blind bluffed it off on river. He was trying to hit his gutshot with 63. And the 22 rivered Quads. He was holding Quads...and got bet into!

22 is a bad call, he should know, that he has 1 out

Ninja, I agree. Chris is a very good player. Read his body language, he knows he's in trouble.

My only asterisk. If he can see thru the backs of cards, he may think that the All In = 66/33. He may think that he's very live against Mike's hand to get a portion of it.

4:20 (Hand #29) Note the similarities. Overpairs + Bottom Set have to feel very uncomfortable.
