Default Why didn\'t Alsancak push preflop?

[ QUOTE ]
Hand 53 - Ayhan Alsancak has the button in seat 4, Kanter raises to $400,000 from under the gun, and Alsancak calls. The flop comes 7h-3h-3c, Kanter bets $600,000, and Alsancak thinks a bit before raising all in. Kanter calls immediately. Alsancak shows pocket queens (Qh-Qc), while Kanter has Ah-10h (overcard, flush draw). Alsancak is in the lead, and Kanter needs to catch an ace, a heart, running threes, or running tens to win. The turn card is the 10s, and Kanter will win with a ten, an ace, or a heart (13 outs).


The river card is the 8h, and the crowd explodes into a cheer because the night is over. Ayhan Alsancak is eliminated in tenth place, earning $600,000.

I think Alsancak had about 1.3M. I don't see why he didn't reraise allin preflop. Kanter would have called anyway with the pot odds.

Maybe he expected Kanter to put him all-in on the flop with almost any hand, so he was trying to trap him?

Alsancak had 2.5 million, which is exactly the right stack size for trying to trap IMO, since it's not hard to get 2 million chips in on the flop into an 800k pot against an aggressive opponent.
