Well, I knew two of those, sibton.
I didn't know she drank gin.
I'd imagined her with someone a bit more hunky than David Mitchell, but ... they are both intelligent and funny, and I hope they'll be really happy together.

Easy to say once you've seen all the hands, MT
I still think she was good. She starts with pretty rubbish cards. When she gets the straight, she makes a small bet, to draw him in. She reverse bluff ... she bluffs being unsure of her cards. He is drawn in. He makes a big bet. She could go all in, but she calls. He is the one who goes all in. Not a good play ... as it turns out ... but she has been SO cool. And remember ... she is one place away from being champion, and she has a straight, but she could be knocked out by a low full house, so she's not home and dry. She does well to sit on some of her chips while the hand unfolds.

But players sometimes have to bluff, and bluff well.
He went all in, presumably hoping to bluff Vicky out of the hand.
He wasn't to know that she had a good hand.
But the reason he didn't know was because Vicky had outbluffed him by slow playing her own hand.
He was a bit unlucky, but if the cards had been different he could have taken the pot with those bad cards, and then we would have said that he'd played a good hand.
