You're at a table you've been able to completely dominate for the entire day. There's only one player at the table with any real skill to worry about and you've got position on him. You've built a sizeable stack well above the tournament average. You're 30 minutes away from the end of the day, which means you will have a redraw and likely not have to worry about that dangerous player anymore.

With these conditions, you did the one thing you really shouldn't have done: Got involved in a huge pot with the one player capable of playing at your level with what was, at best, a marginal edge in the hand.

Even if you could see his cards - he turns them over after making the bet and dares you to call him - you should fold. You have a 47% chance of losing a huge portion of your stack and losing the biggest advantage you've had over your table - the threat of being able to knock them out with your big stack. Winning the hand does very little for you since the day is about to end and you wouldn't be able to use that momentum to your advantage.

Poker isn't about ego
Poker isn't about knocking out famous players
Poker is about winning

Plays like this let the first two get in the way of doing the third.
