Tour Rush 135 $4 + .40 End 18th 123 Hands

Payout 1st - $153.90, 9th - $12.15, 13-15 - $6.75   Start 2000 chips, 3 min blinds

Generally OK play. Last hand I'm on BTN, blinds are 200/400/ante 50, and have AKo, called a 3 BB open raise from UTG (1200), flop came A 8 A, UTG checked. I bet 2000 into the 3350 pot and UTG raised me to 4000. My thought was he's probably got an Ace too, so at worse we'd likely chop the pot, so I re-raise all-in and he calls. He shows pocket 8's. At 1st, what that means, misses me. I see him as have hit a set with his 8's and feel pretty good about my trip A's w/K kicker. What I don't see is that his set gives him a FH and I'm in big trouble. Turn Jd. River 4c and I'm outta there 3 short of the money.

Overall I don't feel too bad about my play. At that point if I'd folded, the blinds would eaten me up rapidly since they come every 3 min, but it would have better if I'd thought of his possibly having the FH before I made that call. I was a bit too hasty in what I thought he might have.
