Hey guys never posted a hand before but here goes. Unsure of how to get historys from full tilt so rough of stacks.

Final table of 24+2 MTT x2 stack 5k Garanteed – 243 runners

Blinds 1700/3400 Anti 400

Im 4th out of 7.

Chip leader has 220k (has been raising every unopened pot, taken different lines, called people's shove just before FT with 8-10s, 10,Qo)

2nd and 3rd have 100k

4th(hero)64k

5/6/7th all have between 3 30k -50k

With standard pay jumps at FT

I min raised to 6800 UTG with Ako folds round to Chip leader in SB, BB is a short stack. Chip leader shoves.

The whole table minus the chip leader has been playing very tight at FT, with under 20 bb's i would normally call but can you find a fold knowing they will be better spots? Or do you gamble putting your in the top 2 and damaging his stack.

7th prize was 201 dollars winner took 1500

18bb. You have to call here. Dont worry about the shorter stacks since you are short yourself and you have a premium. Definitely play for the win. Villain got that big stack by pushing this tight table around. If you can double a couple of times, then you'll get to do the same thing.

Good first post. Welcome to TPE.

Never folding here. He can be doing this farely wide knowing you'll fold without a premium. If you want a top 3 finish you have to take the risk of busting at some point and getting all the chips in pre. If you fold here then really your just playing to ladder up 1 or 2 spots. If I doubled here, I would be looking to go after this guy subsequently as well.

What better spots are you going to get? With 7 players, this shove is standard with hands like 22+ and AJ, suited connectors and any other hand he expects to play well against your calling range. You are well ahead of his 3b shove range.

At the time as said above didn't think about it and snap called with AK he had 77 and i lost the race.

As people have said don't really think i can fold especially when he has been aggro. Gives the chance to win the tournament if i win it
