Playing hand face up

[heniek31]

I think only Washy and Eck knows whats happened. Ok, this was the weirdest hand, I have ever played. It would never happened online. It was live game in Luton. APAT European Amateur Team Championship. I have to give you bit of info, as whats at stake. Scenario: Its the last round of the competition. Poland and France on the same points. We are playing round of SnGs. We are down to 2 tables and on both tables HUs are played. Poland v England and France v cant remember :lol. If we both win or lose our HUs, we go to play offs. Otherwise the champ is elected. I started HU with 2.5k to 12.5k. When the hand occurred, I had 11.5k to 3.5k. At the time, France won other game, so I have to win to force the play offs. Hand: Brian folds (so I thought) and I had a quick glance at cards before throwing them to dealer. It was :Jc::Tc:. I turned them over just to show and pushed them away. I got shout at and it comes, Brian called the blind :$:$:$. So, I'm told, I have to play my hand face up :lol:loon:loon. I put my cards in front of me and dealer brings :8h::8d::9c:. Brian shoves immediately. What would you do remembering whats at stakes? Whats the logic behind his bet? First, I thought he doesn't have 8, cause I doubt he would've pushed, but then, he needs to protect his hand, as open ended is there. I can still catch runner runner. I know, I got one shot cause even if I lose, we will go even in chips. So?
