Default PS $6.5: Easy Call or Hard Fold??

What is the correct way to act here. I mean, the Button has me covered, and if he gets a pair of aces, im out.

There are two small stacks, and one of them is up agains the big stack. Is it better to fold this hand, and hope that UTG looses the hand, and is out of the money?? On the other hand... Folding KK doesnt feel that good... If I called and won, I would be in a good position to win the tournament.

I have no partiqular reads on any of the two players.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Button (t8180)
SB (t1270)
Hero (t2560)
UTG (t1490)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t1465</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t2730</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero ???????

Its a call, without reads you can profitably call 99+ and AKs in this spot

At a 6.50 I'm never folding KK...people will stack off with A10+ and even small pairs, I've seen it more times than I can count

UTG is all in.. Ante is 25 + raise of 1465 = 1490.
