Default Live AK small blind - whats your play and why?

Live £5 rebuy tourney - Crapshoot format (20mins blinds post rebuy period)

207000 Chips in Play 6 Handed - 400,800 Blinds
All players involved in this hand have approximately 7K in chips.

UTG+1 - Raises all in
Hero(SB)- AK os

BB calls instantly out of turn because he thinks I've passed. I call play back to me whats my move?

UTG - I am certain (90%+) UTG hand is Ax where x is most probably Q,J,10 (80%+). I'm 100% calling UTG+1 raise.

BB seems fairly solid calls but lots of loose raises with connectors but passes all-ins. I am fairly certain BB reads UTG as per my read. I put UTG on PP 80% here. I don't think BB is folding if I move my chips in.


Over to you please....

This seemed like an obvious call to me - however I think I am chasing and (at least) one of my outs are taken.

This was a key tournment hand as if I call 10% of all chips in play are available in this 3 way pot?

Call. Even if BB has AK as well, and UTG+1 indeed has 22-QQ, you're still at worst around 30% to win this pot. If he has any other Ace, you're even better. If he has another PP (other than KK or AA of course, but the likelihood of that is thinned with you holding one of each), then you're better still.

Thanks all for your responses.

I passed after 2 minutes and completely regretted it before the call came and the cards got turned over.

Both has AQ and the board would have brought the cash finish. Set me on slight tilt too!

I took the PP wanting to catch a big catch line and gave bb too much credit- This was a great spot as you called it. Knew it too.

Personally I think AK, particularly os can be like shooting yourself in the foot. Also, you knew that BB was going to call. I think if you had a pp TT+, you're right on. Otherwise I'm folding.

Even if BB had called out of turn and showed QQ it's still a call.
