What made it hard

With Peter still to act behind him, Poker Amateur had to judge ace-queen against two re-raises. It was ahead of hands such as ace-jack or king-queen and behind ace-king and pocket queens or better. Poker Amateur moved all-in for $42,800. Peter folded K♣ J♥, and Mariano called the $34,800 more with A♦ K♦. Ace-queen against ace-king wins mostly with a queen, and only the Q♥ was left: Adi had folded the Q♦ and Big Mike the Q♠. Counting every card the screen showed folded, A♥ Q♣ won about 13 times in 100 and tied about 5. After the 9♠ 3♥ 2♣ flop and the 10♥ turn, the Q♥ was the one card of 30 that could still win it for him. The river was the 3♣. Mariano won the $89,600 pot, $46,800 more than he put in. Poker Amateur lost $42,800.

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.
