Bellagio ME hand #3

[Nomar]

I thought about it for a couple seconds, this was the first time Hacehm limped in, and decided 88-JJ or AA were possible but not too likely, then with Groehing and Mads with lots of chips, 30k was nothing to there stacks, so in my mind, even if Hachem and Goerhing folded, there was zero percent chance Mads was going to fold with anyhand. During the day he had made some very marginal calls for more chips then this.

Gavin Smith had told me once, that it is soo important to stay in these tournaments, and not blowing urself out.

I thought I was getting called 100% of the time, either by Hachem's overpair or whatever 2 cards Mads has. I know there is an overlay, and I have most likely have the best hand, but I wanted to see a flop and play poker.

The flop came down QJ2 checked around, turn K, checked around, river J checked around, BB wins it with K3, and Hachem makes some comment that they all had an ace in there hand...77 came in second place...
