Man the 3 handed day 2 was ridiculous. 11 hours before an elimination.

- These guys tank wayyy too long unnecessarily except Merson

There's plenty of stuff to comment on, but as for the final hand I think Sylvia's call is bad, but not as bad as it it initially appears. Merson over shoving on his 4 bet is air or a small to mid pair a very large % of the time. With AK/AQ or JJ+ he is going to 4 bet normal, not over shove as he is trying to leave Sylvia rope to hang himself, not try and scare off the very hands that he wants to call (dominated Aces, smaller pairs). As far as AT/AJ, KQ/KJ, again i think if they 4 bet, they 4 bet normal, not so much for value as in group 1 but in the sense that if they overshove and are called these hands are in pretty bad shape against Sylvia's calling range (assuming no leveling is going on) but by 4 betting normal they may get looked up with lighter hands or shoved on with lighter hands...

So all that being said I think Merson's range is heavily skewed to small-mid pairs and air, so the call isn't as bad as it initially appears w QJ and nearly 10 mill of your 79mil stack in.

That being said. Sylvia has 40 Bigs after the 3 bet. You came too far to call it all off w Q high. You can pick better spots. I know Vanessa said in shock "he...CALLED w that???" when she saw the hands. Even his "air" could be ahead (as it was) and otherwise he's on the bad end of a flip a lot for his whole stack.... heads up.... in the main event?!?!?
