20+2 PS Bubble Play AKo 1 all-in and 1 smooth call?

My read on the original all-in guy was he was a total Rock. I thought long and hard about putting the other guy all in here. Any thoughts?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter

saw flop|saw showdown

UTG (t8310)
Button (t1060)
SB (t1685)
Hero (t2445)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
1 fold, Button raises to t1060, SB calls t960, Hero?

Is this a no brainer all in here?

i'd fold. no sense in losing a gimp hand to both of them and bubbling when you can watch one of them bust out first.

I push this. You have them both covered, so you can't bubble on this hand. It's unlikely you would lose to them both or that the shorty would beat you both.

yeah, I gave the short stack credit for a monster because he was so much of a rock. And given that he just called the all-in it made me wonder what he could have.

I think you are right that a push is the play here because I can't lose on this hand.

thanks

This is a tricky spot though. If there was one big stack and three equal smaller stacks in this situation, I think an ICM evaluation would show that this is a clear fold. The fact that you have both of them covered by a decent amount probably makes pushing the correct play, but I'm guessing it is close and that you would not be giving up much of an edge by folding this hand.
