Where he has loaded dice that favor him.

It was only a $25 buy-in tourney, I don't think 4th place money is that bad of a chop when you have a chance of calling a shortstacks all-in with a sub par hand and losing half your chips.

Or winning that hand where you're favored, and improving your equity, and then winning the whole thing for a lot more than $240.


The phrase "4th place money" holds very little meaning here without knowing the actual numbers.
