gavin knows all this and realizes that given he's gonna be getting all in anyway if villain doesnt fold, it's a better play to maximize fold equity and just shove. his biggest mistake imo was not sucking out

it makes good sense putting it this way I admit it so I apologize for my lack of vision.
Watching the match though, he was so in control that I thought "what the fuck? you are a better player and you "risk" your lead just like that ? Why did you not wait a bit more ?"
That's what this forum is also about I guess, so people can explain plays.
