PS 500K T9 against likely steal?

[locutus2002]

~30 players left (minibubble)

villain has been playing TAG. And has moved all in about once an orbit, his stack has hovered around 120K for some time. He went all in uncontested the previous hand.

Costs me 119K to win 178K. Hero's stack of 238K is in the top half of the remaining players. I'm probably only 33% in the hand getting 3:2 in the pot (CEV-), but a win here would put me in the running for the tournament, and most likely move me past the large pay increase from $2600-$4500 at 18th place.

I don't think your odds are good enough to justify this call.

3:2/60:40...looks like a race and the odds support it.
