Was my play correct?

Yes. Was the BB 800 btw?

Yes, BB 800, SB 400, Antes 50.

You've got the second nuts and villain will call here with a lot of hands other than J10, so get your chips in.

You have top set on a non sequenced rainbow flop. Unlikely that UTG limps with J,10 and even more unlikely he calls your raise OOP. If he does have J,10 then he misplayed his hand. Call and hope he has QQ or AA.

This belongs in BBV, as you obviously lost to Tx.

Villain had JT. And I don't mind about my Bad Beat (ok, just a little, lol) I only wanted to know that my raise before flop was the correct against the chip leader of the tournament and that my all-in move after his raise on the flop was good.

At the time I thought that he could have the JT but AA, QQ, 99 or something like AK or KQ (although 3 kings were already out) and so I thought that even if he had JT the risk of doubling my chips vs being out of the tournament was good with 10 outs on the turn (of course the J on the turn gave me 9 outs and not 10 to double but any card above 8 and no ace would split the pot or double my chips).

So I only wanted to know if my play was correct under this circunstances.

Do you mean call or push?

Good job not slowplaying on the flop, and you got the best case on this board in getting it all in then.

Push... thought you were calling his all in. sorry.
