Although this might belong in the stt forum, i respectfully disagree.

I dont think 10x bb is an accurate measure. There were no antes and the cost per round was only 3k. Duke's stack was 22.5k. Thats around 7x. Thats not near desperate yet.

I believe Zolotow's all-in call with KJ was ok. Gus had been playing tight all night and I would have rathered chose another spot where I could be the first one in. I believe he was 9k ....11k cuz he was in bb.

Sheiky's AK elmination. Semi surprised Huck calls here w/ QJh.

The reason I suggested a 2nd place money finish is because a winner take all does make it a push in fest. Since there is no point in finishing lower than first, it best serves to player to go for it.

I really dont see any real bad play except annie's all in with JT os. I really thought she had enough chips to move around.

Have you ever gone deep in an MTT? Pretty much everything you detailed here, strategy-wise, is bad tournament strategy. And every move you were surprised by shouldn't surprise you with such shallow stacks in a tourney?
