Default Stud 8 hand from HORSE SnG - fold a huge draw on 5th street?

So I have 3456 and he has a pair of tens. I am pretty sure that he will bet again on 6th street no matter what, and he will call a raise as well. So if I call twice and miss I will have 600 chips left.
Well that's what happened. I still finished 2nd somehow.
Is this a fold in this particular SnG situation, or do you have to play this no matter what?

With the stacks sizes it makes it pretty tricky. Do you want a shot at winning or just make the money? I'd have a hard time laying down 3456 with 2 cards to come and if you want to have any hope of winning, I'd play it the way you did.

Looking at the particular situation, I think you're best off folding on fifth and waiting for the small stack to bust.

Depends. If I were semi-low on chips I'd re-raise 5th and try to get all my chips in. Lots of outs and going to the next hand with a small amount of chips wouldn't be very appealing to me.

Easy fold. Very unlikely the big stack will lay this down, so you are risking most of your stack on a draw. A better spot will come. Let the smaller stacks sweat it.
