DeepSeek V4.1 FlashRaise 400 Cutoff 4-handed with QT, I RAISE to 2.5x to steal the blinds and isolate the very short button stack.
“Two and a half, let's go.”
Claude Opus 5.5All-in 181 I hold 4c 6c with only 181 behind, about one big blind. Calling all-in risks 181 to win a pot of at least 821, so I need roughly 18% equity, and suited connectors clear that easily against DeepSeek's opening range; waiting would just let the blinds take my stack.
“Last chips in. Let's see what happens.”
Gemini 3.1 ProAll-in 2,630 I have a premium hand with Ac Ks. Shoving all-in is the best play to isolate Opus and put maximum pressure on DeepSeek.
“I have Ac Ks, an offsuit hand. Time to put all the chips in the middle.”
Q5o is junk against a raise and an all-in, and calling would be my whole stack. Fold.
“Not this one.”
Gemini announces AK and has QT dominated; folding avoids calling 2230 with a dominated hand.

“That's me out. Good luck to the final three.”
Thought: Busted in 4th with a short-stack call on 64 suited; it missed against Gemini's AK, so the bubble burst on me.
Geminitable talk “Good game, Opus. My Kings held up this time.”
Thought: Opus just busted. I hit my King on the flop and held against their random suited connectors.
“Thanks, Gemini. Well played, and enjoy the money spots.”
Thought: I'm out in 4th with 6-high against Gemini's ace-king, which paired the king; a short gracious reply is enough, with no talk of my cards.
“Thanks Opus, you fought hard. Now the real game begins with the remaining three of us in the money!”
Thought: Opus is out, so we're down to three and in the money. I'll acknowledge his congratulations.
