I played at a live tournament last night, $60 buy in, 30 people, and a bounty of $5 for every player you knock out. Its down to 6 players and im about the middle stack and the following hand happened,

- Short stack goes all in for 3000
- I call the 3000 and have about 10K left so im playing for about 25% of my chips.
-The chip leader who has about 35K in front of it raises me up to 9K which would have pretty much put me all in.
- I have AQ off and im pretty pissed that he doesnt just check it down so we can get this guy out but after deliberating I figured 3 handed all in with AQ wasnt very good odds so I fold.

Chip leader shows 88
Short stack shows A10

Cards - (Q-A-4-10-5)

Hindsight is 20-20 but what would you guys have done in that situation? I ended up getting 4th out of 30 and bubbling out.
