What's Your Edge

I ran sick good yesterday and my timing was impeccable(in both the things I can control but more notably the things I can't). The highlight was when a guy who hadn't done anything decided to click it back 3bet, then check jam 8-9 times the size of my bet with A5o on a 653 board when I had 66. I also picked up Kings in 2 ridiculously good spots, one which resulted in to my knowledge the biggest pot I've ever played in a live tournament for the stage of the tournament.

26 players remaining, average is a little under 900k, blinds 10k/20k, I raise the HJ 1.6m deep with KcKs, Shaniac shoves the CO for 350k or so and Peter Eastgate calls about 1.5m chips deep. I consider like clicking it back(probably would have if we were like 1.8m effective since that way it looks like I could really be doing it light, and with a hand like AQ it likely would be the right play, so with KK it could fuck with him), and elect to jam. Those first 2 seconds were about the stressful I've had since his range is not wide, after 2-3 seconds he kind of shrug calls and I'm pretty sure he has the same hand as be, but who knows hes Scandi and has lots of money so it could be like QQ or AK. He ended up having KK and Shaniac had A8o. Peter flopped the backdoor flush draw but bricked the turn and Shaniac didn't hit the ace. That would have been for solidly over the final table average if we had different hands or one of us hit the flush.

Anyways, I have 1,895,000 and am 3rd/24 left with an average of 960,000. I've been running so absurdly good the last several months(or years I suppose) and winning this would be a pretty cool addition. No one has ever won 2 EPTs... I've had a couple sweats (5th in Dortmund last year, 11th or 12 in Barcelona this year), gonna try capitalizing this time.
