Interesting spot.

17 players left, and you're the short stack at the table. You need to beat out 6 more people to make any more money. Going to be tough with <10BB. You'll have to go all in and double up at least once to get through the top 10 barrier.

In this situation, there's 2 ways to go. One is the road the 1st replier took. Not a bad one at all, and a safe route.

On the other hand, you know UTG is calling that. You could go all in with the hopes of tripling up, putting you in fantastic position to make top 10. One or both of them probably have overcards, but UTG could have 66-99, same with all-in. Could be facing an overpair, but it's unlikely. Could be a resteal effort.

I think if you fold here, there's a fat chance you break top 10 anyway.

Tought spot.
