99 in CO+1, shortstacked near the bubble

[el Jefe]

Live $65 ($40+5, $20 rebuy) NL tourney at the Imperial Palace. We're down to nine players, 1-6 get paid, and this is only the second hand at the final table. I was chip leader (14k) with 12 players left but consecutive bad beats have left me with 3500 and I'm a bit steamed.

Seat 2 is button, blinds are 1000/2000 and UTG (someone I have not been at a table with) moves all-in for 3000. folded to me in the CO+1 and I find 99. Button and both blinds easily have us covered. So I....????

Any other stacks in danger of going out before you?

UTG is about to get blinded out, so he could be pushing w/ any 2, unless he got lucky you are probably ahead of him.

BB is defintely going to call w/ any 2 getting ~8:1 if the SB doesn't call and ~11:1 if SB does call.

You are ahead of many hands and cannot survive the blinds, so I'd push.
