C'MON MAN. Richard Lee called off his entire 15 million chip stack after raising to 1 million w/ JJ. It's a completely different situation altogether than the OP.

Just so you understand I'm not some Pu$$y unwilling to play poker like Rhett Butler, but I'm going to do everything in my power to stay alive at a WSOP FT or late stages of the ME and not get in dominated even if that means laying down KK preflop.
For the record I've never laid down KK preflop in any cash game or tournament and would find it extremely hard to do so, but I'm going to the leave the door open as a possibility that one day I might do it, and if it's at the FT of a WSOP event, I won't give two craps about pot odds, I'd be much more inclined to think about what the next payout increase will be.
Also here is a post from the MTT forum a couple weeks ago about folding KK in the Borgata ME, it's a pretty good example of time to consider folding KK preflop IMO

I think we are getting way off topic here. All I was saying was that I agree with Gobbo for this particular hand in the OP. This particular guy should not have folded. I don't really see what it has to do at all with your Borgata ME hand.
