£220 Live tourney.

8k/16k ( 800 ante ) 9 Handed. 40 left in 500ish runner tourney.
Average stack = 350k
3 big stacks next to each other.. rest of stacks <350k. New to table both big stacks been fairly active from limited time ive been at table.

UTG (550k) Raise to 40k
UTG+1 (700k) Raise to 100k
HERO UTG+2 (600k) I've got Jacks......
Rest of table (80k-300k)
tough spot... UTG+1 shouldnt be light here as he's committed against a lot of the players behind him.

On paper this looks like a fold. In game I might go with it dependent on a few things like:

-Live reads on both players
-Payout structure
-How much I care about a mincash vs. leveling up in this particular event
-My energy levels
-Strength of remaining field

We could easily be ahead of UTG if he's a decent player. What is UTG1 3-betting that we are happy to get it in against though? Nothing really. At best we are flipping when called (assuming we shove, which looks like the only option with less than 40bbs).

Not sure about flatting. Doesn't seem great since we will likely either be 3 ways to a flop with a vulnerable hand OR facing a shove when UTG wakes up.

Interesting spot.
