How it is graded
Each player gets the grades they would see if they imported this hand. The preflop charts are built for six players, so these heads-up preflop grades are marked approximate. After the flop, the grader uses a solved pack when the board and stacks are close enough. Otherwise it uses equity against a typical range, or leaves the decision ungraded. Each grade shows its source.
Jones shipped it "with a stack of 146,000,000", and Weinman called it a 120 big blind pot, which fits a 146,000,000 starting stack. Weinman held the rest of the 608,500,000 chips in play at the start of heads-up.
