A Friendly Tank to Help Make a Pay Jump

With 207 players remaining according to the tournament clock, Muskan Sethi moved all in for her last 150,000 from early position and Patrick Pilko called her in middle position.

Royce Kim was in the big blind and pointed out to Sethi that there was a pay jump at 206 places. He offered to "tank" for a bit, so she could make a $151 pay jump. The rest of the table was fine with the offer and had a brief friendly chat before Kim finally folded.

Sethi was dominated and the flop coming certainly didn't help. the turn and river finished Sethi's day, but Kim's friendly tank did the trick as she made the pay jump and finished in 202nd place for $1,277.
