    At time of the hand, there are 5 tables left. Paid 81 of 875.

    Blinds are 8000-16000 with 2K ante, playing 9 handed.

    Avg stack approx. 485K.

    UTG 550K
    Hero (SB) 245K
    BB 260K
    UTG limps for 16K. Roughly 550 behind.

    Action folds around to me in SB. Look down at A9.

    My read on UTG...he has been limping in EP often, then complaining when people raise him out of pot. Has been saying out loud that he wanted to see flops and then would mention small pairs or small suited connectors.

    Based on this info, I have his range at 22-66, suited connectors, and A2-A8. Very confident on his range.

    After his limp, there is 58K sitting in the pot.

    BB has almost exact stack size and would need to wake up with big hand to call

    I shove, thinking at worse he calls and we flip for 525K, but think he folds almost 90% of time.

    BB wakes up with JJ, wins 3-2 flip and I am out in 41st.

    I think based on read play was standard, but just wanted to get some other insight.

    BTW, UTG open mucked 4-4.

    I played in this mtt. Play is was really bad with soooooo many limpers. With the info you presented I shove here almost everytime with your 15 bb stack. Just unlucky the bb woke up with a hand. Dont be results oriented it was the right move

    If you could have read that the BB would have woke up with a hand you would have been on to something.
