El Capitano isn't that scary

Everyone knows El Capitano (guy who plays EVERY PS tourney and doesn't do terribly either).

147 people left, top 99 make the money.

This was my first hand at this table (I had just been moved). It doesn't show it, but I used up half of my time bank thinking about calling this hand. (About 30 seconds).

Nh Aro!

u go on to make good money?

He is pretty aggressive and knows he commands a good deal of respect at these tables, so his risks often scare folks out. I have seen him get caught hard betting all sorts of junk. That was indeed a risky call on your part, albiet with good cards, but AQ suited was a good all-in risk for him too, with only a 2xBB raise in front, which shows some weakness ( maybe small pr or high draw cards which you did indeed have.) He had a slight advantage, you got very lucky. Nicely done.

nice job knocking him out!!!
