Default Playing heads-up with a very lucky make allin bet every hand?

this is ~500 player multi-table tournment NL

there is a very lucky player who start to make allin bet at final 30 players, 20 players, final table and heads-up game

I am a chip leader for the whole game, and My work is need to sweep all the players out of the game, but he is very luck to call with ax vs my kk, kq vs my AQ and he is still stay alive.....

There is a headup game I played with that lucky player. I would like to use the skill of Dan Harrington and David...
But that player went all-in every hand.
The chip ration is about:
Me 120,000: 300,000 lucky player
Blind: 5k/10k

He went all-in every hand, Please give some advice how I play?

I got 89s and call his All-in bet vs his every hands allin play (A3)
and he won the championship....

is it my fault to call his allin with 89s?
Please give some comment, thx

I was trying to figure out what your nationality is based on your english. I kept hearing KGB speaking, so maybe it russian.

As for the play, get www.pokerstove.com, and you can figure out pretty easily what you should be pushing.

Eastbay wrote something about a very similar situation (HU in a sng w/ 300/600 blinds), I'll try to find it.

Well, you have to make a stand with something, but 89s was not the hand to do it with, since it's an underdog to an average hand.

How many hands you should call is dependent on how big the stack sizes are. Assuming you've got no more than 20 BBs (which you probably did heads up at the final table), and he's really pushing *every single hand* you should be calling at least any pair higher than 77, and say ATo and up and KQ (I think that's a reasonable range to call 20 BBs with against 2 random cards; it's possible you should be even looser than that, but I think you are going to definitely want to fold close decisions since you *know* he's going to be making EV mistakes pretty much every hand. The smaller your stacks are relative to the blinds, the more you'll want to increase this range, adding more pairs, more aces, and broadway cards.
