KK in $3K NL final table. can i fold?

[DAT MOOSE]

8 handed in the 3k NL event, im utg with about 500k, beth shak 2 to my left with 500k, phil hellmuth on her left with 200k. (stacks approximate but close) (side note that impacts my decision.. on the last level (10k-20k) utg shoves for ~100k, utg+1 shoves for ~300k, beth shack shoves over the top in th middle for 700k. hands K9, 88, AQ for beth, 88 holds...)

blinds 15k-30k 3k ante. i open to 80k with KK, beth shak says, i raise, counts her chips a bit, and goes all in. phil hellmuth SNAP CALLS all in. he HAS to have aces here, even if he has kings he is going to hollywood a bit in case someone has aces... everyone folds and i tank.

other side note: phil ivey appears to be coaching beth (a tight player who seems to only play top 10 hands) during the tournament.

If i fold the hand i have 420k. If i beat beth and lose to phil i have 600k. If i scoop the pot i have 1.6 million six handed against 1 million, 700k, and smaller..


***my main problem is that i was focused on phil's chips and i wanted to make sure i would still profit if i called and beat beth. i wasnt concerned about her at all and i didnt really look at her. apparently her body language was ridiculously obvious that she had AA.. once i realized i would profit 180k by beating beth (with a chance to crack phil) i called. no king and im out in 8th..

i just cant find a fold here although if i saw how she was acting maybe i should have... im bb for 30k next hand with only 420k and the blinds will go up pretty soon... king one time im big chipleader

oh and the hand with 47o phil had 67k total, he made it 40k and i thought and put him in for his last 27k.. im putting 47k to win 127k (10k small blind 30k antes 67k stack 20k big blind)


the hand before he made it 50k and folded for his last 70k to a reraise, talking about how no one in the world can fold that hand. then he gets aces the very next hand lol

Beth moved all-in and Phil did an 'insta-shove' all-in. Brett asked for a count, then he moved all-in. When the cards were turned up, the room went wild. Beth had two red Aces, Phil had two black Aces, and Brett had the two black Kings. Phil was all-in for 82k; Beth had 451k; and Brett had 424k. The flop was T 3 7 . Turn was the 8 . River was the...4 . Phil and Beth split the main pot and Beth took all the rest of Brett's chips.
