SB pushing any 2? And how would you react?

Button has $60, blinds are 300/600 100% easy fold.

This isn't bubble play, it's ITM play. You have to get more aggressive at this point to try to get 1st. You have 77 against a button microstack, and an overaggressive SB huge stack. This seems like a pretty easy push.

Keep this in mind: Difference between 3rd place and 2nd is 10% of the prize pool. Difference between 2nd place and 1st is 20% of the price pool. It pays to go for first, not settle for second.

*edit* One thing you guys advocating fold seem to not be noticing is the FE hero has with his push. I don't care how much of a maniac the Bigstack is, he's not going to call a push here without a very premium hand (if he does, better for you). So chances are you are going to scoop 2400 less 180 if the microstack wins. So folding this is like saying you don't want a free 2220 in chips.

If Big stack does wake up with a premium hand worthy of calling, then it doesn't matter anyway, as the microstack will probably lose as well. So you end up in second where you were anyway.
