Wasn't a good play but he's doing ok against any hand except an overpair. Even against AK he has like 35%. It's for 10BB. Learn short stack dynamics. This ain't a cash game, and it was only 20% of his stack.

[@Stamps600]

The last hand was the worst. 107 calling 3x pot all in for tournament life with second pair. Even if he has a drawing hand with a sftp draw he has 35% with QKs he has half the deck to draw to win (50%). Second pair also has no kicker. Most of the time though you're drawing to 6 outs being the reason you should fold.

[@iambadatpickingusernames6669]

6:50 despite it making tourneys so profitable, nothing hurts more in tourney poker than the donkey calling your shove way way way too light and getting there.

[@iambadatpickingusernames6669]

[@mrtmantohead]

[@temujinkhan6326]

The guy he knocked out got there with his kq against AJ on the river so why cant 7-3

[@elilei483]

Anyone not understanding the 73 call, it was pure spite to teach that other guy a lesson even if Wu lost, he could live with it and still has heaps to play with. Even needles him at the end by saying you should be battling the other short stack, not me. Calls him an idiot mid hand in Chinese for putting himself in that spot.

[@conormountain6326]

7 3 might be a fold however the guy who was second in chips probably shouldn’t be shoving J2 due to the icm implications. Also the shove in the last hand looks very bluffy and with second pair that’s definitely not a clear fold. Hard to make a pair heads up.

[@Stamps600]

The last hand is a clear fold. 3x pot all in for tournament life. Even if the guy has semi bluffs. His semi bluff flush draws with a straight draw is 35% with QK of spades open ended he is 50% against 107. I don't even see any semi bluffs with a 3x pot jam though. All I see is value hands like overpairs, sets, and two pairs.
