OMG, then this is a MUST-BET for Hachem... seriously.

That means the pot was at least $16 Million!? And Hachem flops an overpair???

Must-bet situation. Forget about the virtual 2 million dollars he gains by knocking out Barch. Take this pot down and forget about Barch.

Play for first or third.

You can't forget about Barch. He's all-in. Better to let Dannenman stay in to give you a greater chance of knocking him out. Like a previous poster said, if an A comes off, you've lost the pot anyway. If Dannenman has an A with a better kicker than Barch, he knocks him out. Either way, you don't win the pot, but now you're heads up.

I could see doing this early in a tournament when you are trying to build a stack, but late in a tourney the important thing is to knock people out.
