I found this EPT Monte carlo final table really interesting. The basic set up is 1 guy has 40% of chips (soon becomes 60% of chips)

The pay jumps are obv huge, and some very very interesting hands, esp the QQ

So I guess as this is PHA  - thoughts on the QQ hand?

Outrage - when breaking down ICM you need stack sizes and pay jumps... so just to make it easier for people

Exact stack count posted just before QQ hand at 10min 30 seconds, hand happens after.  Cliffs run away chip leader 15mil and everyone else between 1 - 2.5mil

Payout as follows
Place €                  $
1      1,700,000      2,210,000
2  1,000,000 1,300,000
3 700,000 910,000
4 500,000 650,000
5  400,000 520,000
6 300,000 390,000
7  200,000 260,000
8 140,000 182,000   PLAYER ELIMATED

bad fold.

ah poo. Just hit play to resume the vid and the stack sizes changed. Just finishing work now so can someone correct what stacks I posted

that guy who folded queens is an idiot

he folded to a single raise previously

also he said that he folded queens also

seems pretty rude also

Sure is an interesting spot for the QQ

It's interesting because it's a Clear icm fold, given he is currently a clear 2nd place

But I'm not sure I could ever fold qq to the guy who has opened every pot

if only i could quote both your post and your sig line!

Really really gross spot but I think with 38bbs you've just gotta go with it. If he had closer to 8 or 9 million and the rest are still super short it becomes a fold but even though he's in second he's really not that far ahead of the shorties.
