I had an interesting hand happen in a small SnG last night and would be like to hear what people have to say about what they would do in this situation.

Last night while playing in a small SnG tourney I was dealt AKo while under the gun.

It was in the second round blinds being 15/30, 8 players and I was a large stack with 1920.

I raised to 150 (4xBB) got reraised all in by a short stack to 480, called by another short stack (all in for 360) and re raised to 960 by yet another short stack (all in). I decided to fold as I was currently the third largest stack, and felt that I had a better shot of finishing in the money if I stayed out of the way on this hand.

As it turned out, an Ace hit the flop and it would have held up for me, and I would have made 3 empty seats in one move.

(For what its worth, I made it to the money as the chip leader, then lost an AK to TT to finish 3rd.)

Here is the hand history.
