Final table, 4 players.
My question do you think Kenny is shoving way too many BB’s? Why take these risks.
#1
Stacks.
Schindler 1.145m
Tilston 1.615
Yu 2.5m
Kenny 2.24
25k/50k/50k
Fold, Tilson raises 100K on button, KJo, Yu flats 44, Kenny ships 9ts shoving ~45bb’s (all fold) Wouldn’t like 600K get the job done, he can call Tilson and fold to Yu’s shove, leaving him with about 1.2 if he loses. Obviously using ICM to fold out hands.
Commentors remark how Kenny is ruthless, but is this reckless?
#2
Schindler 1m
Tilston 1.5m
Yu 2.4m
Kenny 2.45m
Yu Folds, Kenny on the button shoves with 33 (effective stack 30bigs) However as I wrote this - I see that I don’t know any other line. Thought I'd leave it in so you guys can tell me if this is standard or not.

1.) ICM-pressure on Tilston is immense, Yu very rarely traps here, so yeah
2.) Seems std, he's not too keen on calling a reshove from Schindler and Tilston has to fold a ton

The only 3bet sizings that BK should be using to squeeze in this spot are 400k and shove. He's not worried whatsoever about a super capped SB range. Mostly shoving and sometimes overcalling with T9s seems good here.
