Bill Gazes call...

[Talking Poker]

Did you guys see tonight's WSOP episode on ESPN (the Hold'Em one, not the Stud one)?

There was an interesting hand when they got down to 4 handed play. I don't remember exactly where the button was, but I'm almost sure the play went down like this:

Mark Seif folds UTG.
Player A ("A" stands for amateur) raises all in from the button.
Minh Nguyen reraises all in from the SB

Bill Gazes, in the BB, looks down and sees AKo. He has both of the all in players covered. He decides to call.

Player A shows TT. Minh shows JJ. Then Minh proceeds to say how horrible of a call it was. So my question is this - do you guys think this was a bad call? I actully think it was a good call. It wasn't a no brainer, but I think it was a good call. I'd like it more if it was suited, but four handed, I don't see how you can fold AK for better than 2:1 pot odds and a chance to eliminate 2 players and go into heads up play with a massive stack.

The flop came down JTx, of course (live poker is so rigged!), and neither Player A nor Gazes improved. Player A was eliminated and Gazes, down to very few chips, was knocked out the next hand.

So... what do you guys think? Call? Fold? Borderline?
