Oliver dug his own grave when he went all in.  Players started with 10k chips.  There was like 900 in pre.  Checked flop. Bet 300 on turn and Sam raised pot so like 2600-2700 in pot and Oliver has over 9k behind.  Sam is raising for value here.  Why on earth would you shove that much when there is a possibility (even if it is remote) that you are beat.  If he just called the raise and Sam would have value bet the river and Oliver just called, he would still be in the tournament.

Other hands that are similar that come to mind is guy who shoved with quad aces on the royal flush.  All he had to do was call instead of shove.  Is it just me or was Justin EXTREMELY confident in his hand.  Yes I know this hand was a 1 in a billion chance so maybe a bad example.

The other one was in the 2010 main event in a 3-way limped pot with Mizrachi, Affleck, and Emery.  Emery flopped a set a of 6's on 3 6 7 board.  Michrachi had 98.  10 on the turn.  Emery bet and Mizrachi raised.  Emery shoved all in.  There were 2 straight possibilities and the river 5 would have made it easier for Emery to fold.

And for anyone saying that you can't fold these situations, what about the guy who laid down jacks full.
