First hand of the $10,000 Main Event. (30k in chips 50-100 blinds)

Everyone passes to the button who makes it 300 to play.

You have AKo in the sb and decide to reraise to 1000.

The bb folds and the button goes into the tank.

As he rechecks his cards you see he has AQ suited.

He decides to shove allin.

Call or Pass?

Another question.

In this spot should Phil Ivey call or pass?

I remember a similar question on Paul Phillips blog, someone said he was good player so he should pass he replied he was a good player because he called with hands like this.

I'd call.

It's a clear call, no one has anywhere near a big enough edge to fold here.

So many players claim to have a 300%+ edge in the main event, is taking a 70/30 worth it when they think they have an even bigger edge than this.

FWIW I would instacall.

although the play suggests the btn is a retard. if it was the first hand how would ivey be able to calculate his edge over villain or does he just do it against the field?

I heard a funny story last year at the WSOP.

Allen Cunningham was at the ft of one the circuit events just before the series started.

An old guy said to him "I know you're a great player Allenn, but just how much do you think your ticket for the main event of the wsop is worth?"

AC thought for a few seconds and said, "hard to say, but I reckon about $80,000"

The old guy said nothing and all was forgotten until when sitting down after the dinner break the old guy tossed a huge brick of money to Cunningham.

"Here's $50,000, I want to buy 50% of you at the wsop".

Cunningham laughed and tossed it straight back.

Surely if he thinks he's got a 1000% expected ROI Cunningham would turn down a 70/30 shot in the first hand.
