Obv a pretty nice chip +Ev spot to take against his range, but I get the feeling in tournaments you want to win almost all of your chips w/o showing down.
Counter-point: After the bubble bursts is a good time to try to chip up to have a chance to actually tid when 5-20 probably pays about the same.
Maybe so but, I was not healthy on chips. I had 110k or so, blinds were 5000/10000 with 1000 antes. Most of my table had over 400k. Sure, I could have taken the 23k chips in antes/blinds, but I needed to double. Was pretty much card dead for 4 orbits.
Also a contributing factor was: 2 day event, I wasn't going to get a hotel just to come back with a short stack.
And yeah, I can't remember the structure but iirc, 19-27 = $2338(my payout), 14-18 = 2580, and then from that point on, it went up a bit more each time someone went out.
