On day 1, I had played well to get into a good chip lead, betting with my good hands and making good reads. With about 190 players left out of a field of over 600 players, I was among the chip leaders with close to $200,000 in chips at the beginning of day 3.
A player that I had not seen before and not had a chance to see play at all, raised under the gun and I smooth called with pocket 10’s in late postion. I did not want to reraise with this hand as I had not seen how this player played - he could have a higher pocket pair than I did. As he had the same amount of chips that I did (about 10k less) I was hoping to catch a 10 of the flop and get a lot of chips off him if I hit my set. The magical flop of 10h, 7h, 2c came and I had made the nuts so far. He led out with a huge bet of 18,000 and I raised him another $20,000 as I never slow play a set with a flush draw on board and to see where this player was at in his hand. I figured if he had a pocket pair greater that 10’s, or a flush or straight draw (8,9) a he would probably call or reraise me if he thought I was on a bluff.
He did indeed reraise me all-in and it was an easy call for me. This player had gone all-in with an 8d, 6d and risked his tournament life with a gutshot draw for a 9. I was a big favorite to win the pot (84%) and return as one of the chip leaders again for day 3. My dream flop became a nightmare when he caught the 9h on the river and I was severely crippled in chips. My mistake on the hand was that I did not reraise him all-in (when I saw 2 hearts on the flop) after he bet and thus creating the opportunity for a bad beat. Had I moved all-in on the flop, it is unlikely he would call with a gutshot, and I would still been alive in the tournament. As we were also pretty close to the money where 100th place paid approximately $45,000 (1st paid $3.7 million!), I feel he wouldn’t have risked his tournament life at this point, but giving him the opportunity to go all-in on me and gain the fold equity was an error on my part.
