Re: Gazes Call with AK after 2 all ins 4 handed
[ QUOTE ]
With a fold, he's nearly ensuring a third place finish, but decreasing his odds of taking first.
[/ QUOTE ]
Because he had the largest stack of the three players involved in the pot, he was already ensured third place unless he ran into a situation where his AK was up against QQ and QQ and his two opponents split his stack. One of his two opponents was almost certain to be eliminated on that hand.
So, his choice came down to:
(1) folding and playing on severely short-stacked against Seif and about half the stack of the remaining opponent. That's a bad spot.
(2) Calling with the right pot odds with third place "locked up" and a chance to nearly catch Seif in chips and play him heads-up.
