BB (8k) + 30300 + 27200 = 65900 /22300 = 2.9:1
Is this just one of those calls you make deep in a tourney to try and knock a few people out, or is there something I'm missing?Vaksman Triples, Demetriou Crippled wrote:Andrew Demetriou moved all-in from under-the-gun for 30,300 and found an immediate customer when Kim Vaksman moved all-in for a total of 27,200. With the action folding to Marlon Goonawardana in the big blind he went into the tank for several minutes, asking for a count and pondering a decision. Eventually Goonawardana made the call and the cards were tabled:
Demetriou: {A-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Vaksman: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Goonawardana: {Q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
The board fell {2-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Vaksman's pair of tens hold to triple him up to nearly 90,000. Demetriou is now in trouble and is left with only 6,200 chips
Include the Ante's From a full ring on the table equals another 5 grand in the pot.
So 30300, 27200, Plus your 8k from BB, Plus 5k for ante's
So effectively your risking another 22300. for a total of 92.8K. Giving you 1:4 odds.
It was a gamble play. it pays off brilliant, if it doesn't he only loses 8% of chip stack with heaps of room left for gamble.
