My $200K Guaranteed Tournament Comments (Long)

I think you played it fine. You knew that he was in desperation mode with only 4x BB or so. And the blinds were coming around to hit him again. And as it turned out, you were absolutely correct in the call. A6 vs. 88 I believe it was. Winning races is a must in NL to make the top money, especially when you were shortstacked as well. If I were you, I wouldn't let this call bother you. You got your money in being more than a 2 to 1 favorite. You played the cards you were dealt correctly, the luck factor just wasn't there for ya on that hand.
