"Tournament chipleader (posted on the screens) has about $25k. I have $17k, the player two to my left has $18k. He isnt a terrible player, but he is going to make a big mistake at some point. With Ac-Ad in first position I raise the $300 blind to $800. Player two to my left reraises to $1,600. All fold me to me and I reraise to $2,600, he calls. Flop is As-7d-2h. That's a bad flop for me, and I realize the only way I make a reasonable amount from him is to let him put the money in on his own. I check and he says "all-in". I had headphones on, and although I heard what he said, I took my headphones off and said to the dealer "did he just say all-in?". The dealer confirmed, I said "call" and turned my hand over. He showed Jd-Jh.
The turn and river were both jacks. Just a 99.90%er. That has never happened to me, and I havent ever seen it in that kind of situation. I got him to move all in for $14k on a flop with only $5,500 in the pot. That pot would have made me the chipleader in the tournament, and I was playing good, and at a good table."
