I don't think there's any way you can call and break, although Nick looked like he was seriously considering it. Sick call though, especially as tight as that table was playing.
When I doubled off Ashton and we went to break , I had a few discussions with some friends of mine and decided to get aggressive.
First two hands back had JT985pat got 3bet large oop and was in shove/fold spot against Danzer whos calling range is T9 or better and I had no redraw. That cost me about 1/4 of my chips.
I really wanted the 50k pay jump to third so decided to wait for a better spot. Few hands later made a call with a hand Danzer went D1 - D1- check- call I had T6 he had 97. His value bet range was T7+ so it was def a light call. That cost me almost half my chips then just never had another hand.
GG until next year. Congrats Nick Schulman who is a great poker player and a great person. A true ambassador of the game with some serious swagger.
