I’m posting this because I’m interested to see what others think of this hand. A lot of stuff has said he blew up spectacularly – opinions please. I’ve tried to show the hand as best I can from PokerNews.com updates so some things could be slightly wrong (stack sizes mainly) – however, I’m just looking for how everyone else would have played this. Will post my thoughts in a day or so.

You’ll notice the stack sizes are convenient for ante posting etc. but they are simply going off the rough counts available to me. I also don’t have who was in the other seats, but they all folded without betting to it’s not massively important. Looking forward to hearing what you all think.
