Default WSOP Main Event Bubble - Theoretical Situation

So one person left before we are all in the money, the entire table goes allin, fold AA in the BB?!!!?





Ok hopefully my poor joke hasn't scared off too many good posters. Its getting close to the WSOP ME bubble, and our table consists of weak tight nits who all want to cash, with the exception of the table chipleader and bully, who is a well-known European pro.

Blinds are 2k/4k/500 and European bully is playing really aggressive and running the table, we have played back at him once last orbit, when it is announced we are now playing Hand for Hand, with 10 people left to bust.

Stack-sizes range from 20k-100k for the nits, we have 150k and the European pro has around 450k. We are sitting on the right of the pro.

As soon as H4H is announced, the pro raises to 150k, we fold our random hand and he picks up the blinds and antes. Same for the next hand, and the next. The fourth time he does it UTG, and we notice he is doing it blind.

So that's the situation, 10 people left to bubble and a really tight nitty table which the European pro has decided to take advantage of. Its apparently that the pro is going to just make it 150k every hand, putting the whole table allin until the bubble bursts. This is probably fine at this table since everyone (except ourselves) is scared money trying to cash.

So knowing he has a random hand, knowing that overcalls if we call are going to be ridiculously tight (its very possible they fold everything except AA if we call the pro before they act), what range are you calling with preflop?

This situation occurred this year at the WSOP (except i wasn't at the table) and our vegas house was pretty split on how loose we are calling preflop.

Thoughts?
