I'd call.

I'd put him on A/K to Q/J

With a free roll he could be trying to make something happen either he doubles up or he goes play in a 6 dollar single table game. I think that at this point in the tourny is good time to make a call like this.

The kind of hands a person would push UTG with gives you at the VERY best an overpair to his possible 77 to TT, a big underdog to his overpair, or a coin flip with his high overcards. With no read on the player, you've really got nothing to work with but gut feeling.

Also, you might consider that if he did indeed have an overpair, why he wouldn't make a smaller raise. I would put him on a protection raise with a medium pair or a steal attempt with big slick or some variant.

Furthermore, 3624 more to you leaves you with a pretty good amount of chips if you lose, still well above the average stack. Only reason to lay it down here would be if you somehow managed to put him on one of the overpairs.

I agree with you guys. I think I should have called. I regreted the lay down right after I made it.

Easy fold if it was earlier in the tourney, being that far from money still makes it questionable. But you have a good amount of chips to play with here, so it's a call, not to mention the added money in from the big blind.

I think this is an easy call. 3800 in chips and blinds on 400 is desperate, so he could have gone all-in with any hand.
