I must admit my surprise. Based on what the material I've been reading about playing aggressively on the bubble and thinking about ONLY first place and nothing else, I would have thought most people would say I should call here.
I will say that if any of the two shortstacks push and even if they were to show me they had two overs like AK I would have called. However, even if this guy would have showed me one over card I still fold. I just knew I was the best player at the table and I wasn't going to put it all at risk when I knew that heads up I would be able to outplay any of these people. I did end up winning the tourney and when I asked him what he had pushed with after the tourney he said he had KJs. He was basically drawing to 3 outs.
