A great accomplishment in an environment where everybody is trying extra hard to take all your chips.

- Isn't it a disadvantage to have a bounty on your head? Doesn't it give other players odds to stay in hands to draw out on you?
- Yes, you're right. You get to see some interesting plays. But on the other hand, when people overplay their drawing hands that also gives you some added value.
- You mean that your own equity increases as well?
- Exactly. As long as you survive the suck out attempts, your good hands pay off better than usual. It's like always in poker; you have to adjust your game to the circumstances.

You couldn't put it more to the point. Always adjust your game. Tomorrow six players will have to adjust their game to the conditions at a televised final table.
