Default FT 24k gtd. Short stacked in BB with AK, 2 all ins

15 left in last night's 24k gtd on FT. Just a couple of hands prior, I got crippled in a race with a short stack where my AT < AQ.

So now I'm in BB with an M of like 4 and I get dealt AK. Sorry I can't seem to find the HH on www.pokerhand.org, it's gone for some reason.

Anyways, action folds around table to CO who pushes all in with A8. Button overshoves with AT. And I make the call with AK.

My question is. Is there any argument that could be made for me folding here because there's already 2 all ins?

I thought about it briefly but with an M of 4 and the possibility of more than tripling up here with a premium holding, folding didn't seem like a feasible option.

No get it in. There are no stack sizes but I'm assuming CO and BTN were fairly short too. Button probably tried to isolate the CO but you get to be the ass that wakes up with a better hand. Def call IMO.

Definitely go with AK there. Also fist pump about being up against A8 and AT. Dont break your cell phone when they suck out. Play to win, be EXTERMELY happy to get a chance to triple up with AK late in the trny.

What's the problem here? You got it in ahead and probably got sucked out which is why im assuming you posted the hand. This is an easy call with AK, try not to be results oriented.
