    Default 2 pair, Can I fold?

    Tourney started with approx. 800
    I'm chip leader with 13 people left. Around 150K chips.
    Villian is UTG + 1 with about 75K.
    Villian raises 3X bb which i think were 500/1000 so 3000 raise. Folded to me on the button with JTs. In position with chip lead this is a pretty good hand to see flop. First question is, should i call, reraise, or fold here.

    Flop comes JT8. Villian shoves.
    Whats our action. We are 4 from final table with chip lead and a good shot at going deep. Can we fold two pair here.

    Would he do that with a set of eigths or a flopped straight?

    Or is he sacred of getting outdrawn with AA, KK?

    For me it doesnt make sense to shove a better hand than OPs. How has he played nut hands earlier?

    I've alreay got enough reply's to know i did the right thing.
    My thought process was, if he made a set or a str8 there is no way he would shove. The only way is AA KK or draw and that is still risky. And yes he put 70K into a 7K pot.

    given that i call and he shows AK!!!!!!

    Well you know that he caught a Q for a staight but this guy put is tourney on the line that close to the final table with a gutshot!! OH WELL!
