They check the hand down... I think someone here missed a bet.
If that was me sitting in Daniel's seat I know I'm not seeing the turn for free with the small blind having 33 in that position, then on the river the flush in the big blind doesn't bet into KidPoker, this is such bad play just trying to trap the pro and not bet into him; either thinking he's always going to have the better hand when he's in a pot or thinking he's going to make a play on him.
If they were to play the hand a little bit they would have realized that Daniel had 9 10 or Jk suited and completely missed the flop and only playing vs the blinds so he knows that they have potential to flop a little something with those cards and is too smart to bet into that board.
the flush definitely missed a value bet imo





Here's my analysis of how the hand played out:
Preflop: Daniel raises from middle position. SB calls with 33 and BB cals with 10-7s -- fairly standard.
Flop: I disagree that that the flop was played bad. Nobody connects and players probably assume daniel has an Ace or high pair, so they checked to him. With the SB's positional disadvantage, I can't see pocket 3's looking to strong there. -- I do have a fairly passive playing style though.
Turn: SB hits his set, but there's also a wheel draw out there now. In first position he plays it safe and checks. --- He could have definitely tossed in a bet there.
River: The board is showing a wheel and BB hit his spade draw. I believe he definitely missed a 180-300 chip value bet here.
Preflop and the flop play seemed reasonably played to me. I believe the turn and river could have been played better though.
