Would you risk it all late in a major tournament with 88? TJ just did
With blinds at $1000-$2000 and $400 ante. TJ bet 9.5K pre-flop with 88. Gus Hansen move over the top of him all in. TJ called. Hansen showed AQ. Queen on the river and TJ's once impressive stack is now 1/10 of the Chip Leaders.

Re: Would you risk it all late in a major tournament with 88? TJ just
If he knew it was a race (which he must have, that or he thought gus was just overplaying a lower pocket), he might have done it just to have a monster chip stack and risk taking down Gus. I've done it before, but obviously never at a tournament of that magnitude; I don't know that I could do that, but who knows, TJ has quite a bit more experience than I.
Also, I don't know the stack sizes, but it's possible he was getting the right odds, dependent on pot size and the range of hands he put gus on.

If it was more than half he was pot commited with blinds so high and calling was a must.... Your not giving enough info...

According to pokerwire, TJ raised, Gus re-raised from the button and TJ moved all-in. This is a big difference from what you wrote.
