Mud: Could you / should you bend the kings before the flop on the final bull's eye of the main draw?

Labat weighs

He was, of course, delighted to make the final table, even if it would be the short stack. At the same time, he divined his decision to call with kings.

"If I bend, it'll look so crazy," says Labat, "but I had that feeling, he ."

Heroic Manion Times

Are you looking for someone who has folded the preflop kings? ? Look no further than Nicolas Manion himself. Only one day before the epic hand in question, Manion folded preflop kings when Alex Lynskey launched a five-all-in.

"I only showed hazelnut hands today, and he pushed for 16 million," explained Manion. "For me, it's just a hand and a hand only, so I'm not going to put my tournament life on kings when I'm 99% sure that he has some ace."

And then, in a fascinating reversal, it was Manion who lived the dream on the final table bubble:

With six players Remaining at the end of Day 8, Manion is in second place. He has 72,250,000 and a chance to ride his epic three-way aces hand at a salary of $ 8.8 million.

As for Labat, he was eliminated in 9th place with – you guessed it – a pair of kings.
