Ultimate Poker Challenge $1500 Final Table Hand

41 entrants, 7 pay, 7 make the TV show. We are playing 9 handed. Blinds are 600-1200 with a 200 ante. I have 26k which is 3rd or 4th. I am in the BB with JJ. Utg folds, UTG +1 moves in for 35k(he is 2nd in chips). He hadnt done this before and has been pretty solid. What's your play?

I folded. David Singer took a while to fold(he had 25k or so, I folded my JJ face up and he said he would have called) I then got AA,KK,JJ in 3 of the next 5 hands to get up to 78k with the chiplead going into today.

I like the laydown.

The only hands you beat the he moved in with are 10-10 and 9-9, maybe 8-8.. You said he was tight-solid, so that's even less likely.

I put the guy on A-K or Q-Q. I like the lay down. 23 BB with lots of short stacks around is better do damage with, than gambling on a coinflip.

You beat AK too, but it is still basically a coin flip.

Yea, you "beat" it. But I want to be pummeling somebody at atleast 2:1 or better before I call off my entire stack.

Your worst move of the hand was turning the cards face up. Otherwise, I like the fold.

OK, you have AT, same chip position, he moves in from where he is, you go into a think. As you're thinking, he looks back at his cards and accidentally flips them
he has KQ, suits not dominated. You fold?
