Re: Gazes Call with AK after 2 all ins 4 handed
You're not thinking about the fact that 4-handed, at the end of a major tournament with high blinds and a bunch of stacks extremely short relative to the chip leader, the ranges for pushing all-in and then a player behind coming over the top are WAY larger than AA-KK. One of the players could easily have had 77, with a KQs coming over the top to isolate. To put these guys on potential aces or kings is just weak-tight.
As it has been pointed out, Gazes was almost guaranteed to lock up 3rd because one of the stacks he had covered was likely to get knocked out or crippled, and he had a chance to take them both out right there and accumulate enough chips to take on Seif.
I think if Gazes were covered by either of the two players it would be an entirely different situation.
