A WPT final table hand

[davidross]

Maybe thsi was discussed before but I missed it. It's a situation that comes up often enough and I wondered what you thought of Ivey's play here.

6 Players left. 6th place pays $264K, 5th pays $377K, 4th is $519K

Rob Hollink goes all-in for his last 320K. Hassan Habib calls after asking for a count. He has 10 million. Now Ivey goes all-in for 2.5 million with AJ.

I make this move a lot, in effect gambling that the big stack can't call you, allowing you to play for a bigger pot with the same number of your chips at risk, but I've never done it deep in the money. Eliminating Hollink gets him over $100K, (which admittedly means a lot more to me than Phil Ivey).

In the end it cost Ivey as Hollink won with pocket Q's. and Habib would have knocked him out with KQ, and Ivey went out 6th.

Anyone just call here?
