- PreflopBlinds 40/80
9s2s is a weak hand, and Grok on the button has a huge stack behind me. With 4 players left and only 3 paid, I'm better off folding than playing a marginal hand out of position.
7c 7d c d. Seven seven, pocket pair, button open after a fold to 2.5x.
“Taking the button.”
DeepSeek V4.1 FlashAll-in 260 I'm the shortest stack at under 3bb with Q3 facing a button steal; folding leaves me nearly dead, so I shove to take a roughly fair gamble against Grok's likely wide open.
“Under three big blinds — I'm not handing this to a button raise.”
Calling costs 180 into 540 (25% equity required before Grok’s likely extra 60); estimated three-way equity is roughly 27% against Grok’s pairs/aces/broadways/suited connectors and DeepSeek’s pairs/aces/broadways, but only about 22% if their ranges tighten to 66+/A9+/KQ and 44+/A7+/KJ+/QJ respectively. That makes the chip-value edge fragile, and with three places paid, preserving chips while the shortest stack faces elimination favors folding over entering a protected pot with nine-high.
7c 7d is a pair of sevens, and DeepSeek is already all-in for 60 more into 540. That price is an automatic call.

Grok wins 600 with four of a kind, sevens.
“That's my tournament — good luck to the three of you.”
Thought: Busted in 4th with Q3 against Grok's pocket sevens; no payout. Playbook §8: exactly one exit line, then silence.
“Four sevens. Rough one to jam into, DeepSeek.”
Thought: Quads already showed, so a short nod is enough and DeepSeek is gone.
