Tourney Play

So yesterday was about tourneys... I played a $11 800 person tourney, I got 85th cashed for $18.75... my last hand a guy raised it to 1800, I had 55 in the button and tried to resteal so I pushed all in for 8700. Guy thinks for almost the whole time limit finally calls, with 88, 8 fucking 8 and of course it holds but how the fuck does he call off more then half his stack with 88. I had been playing super tight smart aggressive poker and this guy calls with 8s this late in a tourney? I dont know... anyhow my bankroll has taken a little hit I am under $400 now.


BR UPDATE: $385.01
