Playing in a local MTT last night down to the final 3. Me 45k on the button, small blind 40k and bb and chip leader about 55k, so fairly close. Blinds now pretty steep at 3K/6k.
So first to act look down at pocket sevens, and raise to 15k total. SB dwells and then pushes, BB immediately folds.
I think (only briefly) and call, thinking I am probably against AK, AQ ( this guy has been fairly tight and only shown down premium hands). So I think I am racing but slight favourite.
Any way he flips pocket
and nothing changes, and I am out in third. So my question is could I have got away from this at this stage of the tourney, with the blinds about to hit me again, having put one third of my stack in already?
