I'm confused by this, not only are they playing with just 10bb (or slightly) above that but they push and call with S-F-A? I realise some players play the minimum buy-in approach but are you not supposed to get the money in with a big hand pre-flop, i.e. limp, re-raise with AA?
Gus has gotta love the super-aggressive hype that follows him. He took DanDock21 for a further $30,000 in the next 2 hands.
