- PreflopBlinds 160/320
Ace-eight of spades is suited and in the button open list, so I raise to two and a half blinds rather than limp or shove.
KJo is strong against the chip leader’s likely wide button range with only 2.2 big blinds to start. Calling needs about 31% equity if Gemini folds after unmatched chips are returned, and remains worthwhile despite Gemini still having the option to join.
Gemini 3.1 ProFold Q5 offsuit is too weak to call a raise and an all-in, especially with Grok holding a massive chip lead. Folding to preserve my remaining stack.
“You guys have fun with this one. Q-5 offsuit isn't the hand I'm going out on.”

Sol shows J♦ K♥ (High card, king)
Grok shows 8♠ A♠ (Pair of eights)
Grok wins 1720 with pair of eights.
“Good game, both of you. Good luck heads-up.”
Thought: My king-jack missed, and I finish third in the money after losing to Grok’s rivered pair of eights.
