Big pair in the BB, pot odds dream. Action is to you...

[BigEndian]

Inspired by the folding QQ post in single-table.

You sit at the final table, 10 seats are filled.
Blinds: 100/200
Everyones stack is 1000.
*Money pays to first place only*

UTG folds and 8 players go all-in to you.

What is your play with AA->TT?

This looks to be on the obvious level for players, I think it's an interesting choice.

If you fold, your stack is 800 and your other two opponents are 1000 and 8000 (assuming no split). The blinds are crippling to you with a mini-orbit in play now but you are one of three players remaining and spitting distance from the money.

If you call with AA for instance (the other hands are shades of grey away from AA, where to draw the line is interesting too), you are about a 2-1 favorite to win against your eight opponents in the hand. The prize is a large stack with which you will probably win the tourney, but losing means you have 0 chance.

I can't decide for certain. I think each choice has it's advantages. But I lean towards calling. Is this really a no-brainer?
