can't remember which buy -in tournament it was,a guy named brandon
cantu and another named stan ly in the hand
preflop cantu has a pair of eights,ly has ace queen,can't remember but
don't think it was suited,think cantu had more chips.flop comes
ace,five,ten rainbow.

ly raises 300,000,cantu either raises 800,000 or makes it 800,000 can't
remember,only three left in tournament i think,maybe four.ly folds.

is this the right play,he's got top pair,is he thinking this guy has a
set,i thought he should have went all in,it seemed to me he got run off
the hand,don't know if he was playing to maybe insure himself another
spot up in the money and maintain status quo chip count wise,seemed
like a weak play.

thanks for the reply,maybe it just seemed like it because of the hands
shown on t.v.,but it seemed the cantu guy was playing lots of hands,and
maybe i'm forgetting it's a tournament.

That was event #2, 1500 NLHE (the one I won my seat in through the misst
qualifier). He didn't get to the top three by calling huge raises with
just one pair. Why does everyone think AQ is the nuts these days?
