Then Hanzo's the wrong point to pick apart.

The contest was purposely designed to not be purely about combat power. Hanzou was presented as overconfident and goofy rather than sadistic, and the presence of witnesses in addition to Gon's youth would further inhibit him.

Yes, it was a gamble. But it wasn't that risky. The worst that would have happened is that Hanzou would have continued a bit and then Leorio or Kurapika would have jumped in, thus disqualifying Gon. At which point, it would be over and everyone but Gon and maybe Leorio or Kurapika would have their license.

And, as I've pointed out earlier, it wasn't that unlikely to pay off. Though I doubt Gon thought it through that much.
