I'd say that if you let it go, you'll get 2nd place uncontested 50% of the time because smallstack will lose the hand.

If you play, I'd say you'll win the hand 20% of the time, andbig stack win 40%, small stack will win 40%. That makes it a 60% chance to 2nd place.

But in the first option "not to play" you are still in the race with 700 chips vs. 800 chips of small stack. You will be blinded out first but you'll get 3 more chances to make a play. I estimate your chances to survive the small stack at maybe 30%.

So, the first option is at about 80% and your call is at about 60%.

I'd let it go, I think.
