Probably basic 109 fo hand
 

Ok, villian has been very active and is #2 in chips for tourney, I have a massive lead. 3rd in chips is like 25k and we're about 29 left? paying to 27. Do we like?

Ehhh, I usually don't recommend such plays in such big pots but I think I like calling. You will very rarely get looked up by worse hands and almost never make stronger hands fold. You will make a monster on the river sometimes. And the key factor is the guy is in such a comfortable chip position that he MIGHT dog it on the river if he has you beat instead of making a value bet that risks his tournament life with AK with huge stack on the bubble.


Meanwhile its very unlikely they have more than 2 outs.

yeah that was the question I wondered as it seems like worse kings call infrequently here
