I'll preface my post by saying a few things. First, I'm a long time lurker, and don't post very often because I don't feel I know enough yet to give solid advice, but I love reading and learning. Second, I don't play too much tournament poker.
Now, my roommate and I were discussing this hand where Greenstein knocks out Reese and Tippin with AK suited. I don't have the stack sizes (sorry), but I hope a few people remember this hand:

Chip Reese hadn't seen too many opportunities to build up his stack, and to make matters worse, immediately after the antes and blinds went up to $2,000, $10,000 and $20,000, he was struck down by a stone bluff from Greenstein. As the short stack now, with just under $300,000, he picked the wrong time to go all-in with Ks-5s. Tippin called with Qc-Qd, and then Greenstein went all-in over the top of both of them, with Ad-Kd! As an overjoyed Randy Jensen watched from the sidelines, the board went Ah-Kh-6c-8d-As, knocking out two players with four left, a first for the WPT. Chip went to the rail in 4th place with $207,304, and Tippin joined him in 3rd with $328,230.

Now, my roommate and I were having the arguement about whether Tippin should have moved in or not and how that would have affected Greenstein. I think that Tippin should have pushed with QQ there, but I think Greenstein would have called with AdKd regardless. My roommate thinks that Tippin should have pushed and and Greenstein would have folded and found a better spot, as he probably had a skill edge on the rest of the table. I think there's just too much money in this pot and too many hands that Greenstein is ahead of for him to lay it down, even if Tippin pushes all in ahead of him.
