actually, @advoghado , I initially wrote it the "European way", which can be confusing; at his usual stakes guess it would have been 625K :)

One thing that surprised me watching the stream was how quickly he acted. There was no waiting for timing tell windows he just clicked away as soon as he decided what to do. He got paid off light a lot of the time too, but maybe this is the Blom effect?
Interesting though I've already started experimenting with quicker actions
