Great post, I love the line and the reasoning. It's hard not to agree with you assessment that she is only calling with those two hands.

If she raises the turn, do you move in over the top? Or is your turn bet designed to get a show of weakness before you push the river (making it more likely you aren't gonna walk into a monster).

I ask because I see this play late in MTT's online by you and a few of your close friends. Turn lead and if not raises, big push knowing that you are not against the nuts.

I'm confused why you think this a good line. Gigabet played the hand in a way to get minimum information postflop but maximum opportunity to trap himself.

I think giga is in a very ambigious situation when the river card falls and should conisder shutting down, or making another weird-looking continuation bet and fold to a push.

It's also worth considering that JJ Liu mucked KK faceup earlier with the hope of getting someone to try to bluff her off a big pair, like gigabet did, later on. I think she's calling with AK and AA. Edit: I guess Diablo posted the same point at the same time I was. Damn you diablo!

I really don't think this is an important play to be making at this stage in the tournament.
