Well...on 2nd thought (after a lil research) I guess you didn't have much of a choice. I thought you both had like 3 or 4 million chips, but you both only had like 1.5 and J.C. raised 600k so not much of an option. All other factors considered (WPT final table, 5 handed, short stacks compared to the blinds)I guess...I woulda pushed too.

Peace to ya.

In other news.....The Mathematics of Poker (by Bill Chen) confirms calling with K8o was the correct play (p.136), which is to call a push upto 14.1BB's assuming opponent is playing optimally (which was supported by Quach's move-in frequency).

sorry for being off topic

Heh, but you knew that all along. Thanks for offering historical perspective on the thread (from a non choke-artist).

Yeah, He's choking all the way to the bank, especially after his win at the Reno WPT event.
