There is always a debate in poker over whether or not to show your opponents your hand without a showdown, but Tony G is taking the route of showing hands left and right. Whether it be a bluff, or the nuts, he is showing the table some of his hands, and the crowd the rest. Being on the rail I can tell you (without revealing the content) that it is a mixture of both bluffs and nuts that we see, as well as the table. It has the table completely rattled.

Tony G is now in full control of this table. Dario is the only one not afraid to play back at him, but he is selective with his shots and Tony jabs away at every opportunity. The later it gets, and the more weary his opponents become, the greater Tony's edge grows. His experience is really starting to show. He is frequently showing his hands to the crowd after his opponents fold, and this is having a visible impact on David Callaghan.
