Situation: After posting SB, Hero has T14,800 and is 20th of 24 players remaining, finishers 1 through 22 receive entry in to WSOP $160 Double shootout. The shorter stacks will not face their blinds for several hands. Play is now hand-by-hand.
I'm omitting reads on UTG because I think reads are irrelevant in this situation beyond the fact that UTG has me covered.
Pot = 10000+20000+20000+(8 x 1000 ante)= 58,000
Push or Fold?

EDIT: How would your play differ if shorter stacks were to face blinds sooner, especially considering they will all face their blinds before I face another round of blinds.
