nice vid.
i think in the hand where you had the set and quaternion had the flush, his river play is pretty neat given the action and once you tank the turn. your range seems like it's going to be mostly flushes and sets, and once the board pairs on the river he only wants one bet to go in vs that range. you beat him with sets and you'll valuebet all your two card flushes anyway if checked to. plus he can't bet/fold and i'd suspect for his stack size that that one extra bet is pretty useful to have/save.

Thanks Babar (for mentioning this vid to me in PM on 2+2, and for the nice comment.) I haven't watched yet, since I don't have DeucesCracked membership, but if I find a way, I'll comment more.
FWIW I was almost sure DeathDonkey had a set here, but obviously couldn't fold this bloated pot. The fact that he'd still bet a smaller flush on this river didn't have much to do with my sad check/call.

Soul read on the set? I felt like I was supposed to play any over pair this way and decide on river whether to call the last bet or not, maybe in the tournament situation you just felt I would not risk the turn raise? The play in general was so nitty I was having a hard time adjusting to the shrunken ranges 10 handed. Obviously you played the hand as well as you could have, I was sure I would get two bets vs the flush on that river.
We played an interesting small pot early on I discussed here: http://www.deucescracked.com/forums/25-Tournament-Poker/topics/533101-Ghost-DeathDonkey-7-WSOP-?#post_4695731
basically I defended BB and k/c a Q97r flop, turn 5 k/k, river T and I k/f with 87o, was pretty sure GTO would say I need to call there and you would be sharp enough to turn some Ax into a bluff but then I just sorta talked myself out of it for some dumb reason I can't remember.
Bittersweet that you busted 10th, ego wanted good players to do well, brain wanted good players to bust and give me their chips
