Tough one, but I'd probably call. More importantly, though, you should bet more than half pot on the flop and turn. You flopped a strong hand, but it can only get weaker as more cards come out. Get the money in.

It's level 17… Do you have a feel for the game-flow at the table? It's such a tough spot as played. And he bets his remaining 28k into a pot of about $15k? The overbet makes it more of a game of chicken than a math decision. I would really go with my feel about how this table (and this player) have played in the last couple of levels.

If I think he would ever bluff, I think I throw up in my mouth and call, hoping to see Ax?

if not, I still have 20 BB.

Thanks for the response. Looking back I definitley didn't bet enough on both streets. regardless of outcome I have to be more aware of that as oppose to just clicking buttons….but as I was thinking I wasn't sure just a bare Ace would over-shove on the river like that. anyway, for what it's worth here is the result;

L New: calls 15272 and is all-in
Uncalled bet (13135) returned to rocha655
*** SHOW DOWN ***
rocha655: shows [8h Ah] (a full house, Aces full of Eights)
L New: shows [6d 7d] (a flush, Ace high)
rocha655 collected 52986 from pot
L New finished the tournament in 569th place
