its a fine call.

with 5 BB and about to go into the blinds the villains range is almost anything here so phils hand has better equity than you think.  you cant just plug in teh exact hand into pokerstove.  he probably has more like 38-40% equity here I'd guess.  And once you do the math- the math can't be wrong, especially on a shortstack and not near a final table.

He calls he wins he has 20bb and a very workable stack.  If he loses, he's about to go through the blinds and have a great shoving spot for his 10bb.

Sometimes you need to chip up or go home.  Bunch of wusses here :-P

I also bet that noone makes this play i saw midway through miniftop 1:

was watching subiime, who is now red pro Joeseph Cheong, aka 3rd in chips going into the november 9.

EP raises on a 65 or 70bb stack, gets re-raised by the button and he jams for 50bb effective (that's what the other guy had).  other guy tank calls with AQss

What's he have? 55. 55 holds over AQss.  He made a read that it was likely not a pair and also knew he had MASSIVE fold equity. I was actually shocked that he got called by AQss there.   But that gave him a massive stack and he worked it up into around the top 27 of that event.

Pros do make some odd or spewy plays or calls... but I like phils call there.
