The read

Big Mike called for his last $26,400 after more than half a minute. Luda Chris had raised first and then re-raised for everything Big Mike had, so the call put his whole stack on a pair of eights, and it needed to win 44% of the time: $26,400 to win $33,625. Against a bigger pair, a smaller pair wins only about one time in five. Luda Chris had A♠ Q♦ instead, two cards higher than the eights, and the eights were ahead, 54% to 46%. The 2♠ K♣ 6♠ flop and the 6♦ turn left them ahead. Five rivers would have won it for Luda Chris: the three aces and two queens left, since Rich Asian Bro had folded the Q♥. The river was the 5♣. Big Mike won the $60,025 pot with two pair, eights and sixes, $30,125 more than he put in. Luda Chris lost $29,900.

Chance to win, street by street

Each street's chances are worked out on that street's cards, among the players who called, bet or raised at some point in the hand or were still in at the end. Each of them counts up to and including the street where they fold. A player who folded without calling, betting or raising isn't counted, even after posting a blind, and a street where a counted player's cards were never shown has no row.
