    Sorry i dont have a HH so i will describe it.

    Final table of $5 tourney on PokerRoom, 9 of 488 people remain.

    Chip leader has about 190k, i am in 3rd with about 145k, quite a few players are 40k or lower. Blinds 3k/6k. Shorty involved has about 55k.

    I have been quite active at the FT so far, and have built my stack up from about 90k without showdown or maybe one. CL has made a couple of raises that havent been called. I have a note on him that says "overraises with medium hands" from playing with him prior to the final table. Other player involved has not played a hand at the FT, and was not on my table previously.

    On to the hand. Folded to the CL in the CO, who makes it 25k. Shortly quickly reshoves for his $55k. I am in the SB with AKo.

    What do I do??

    Will give some results, etc after some discussion.

    ship it...with everyone folding to CL in the cutoff, and you yourself stating that hes fairly active and over raises medium strength hands of course hes going to be making a raise in the cutoff, also shortly has less than 10X the bb so hes probably also giving CL little respect and i see him shoving any medium ranged pair along with AT + best case scenario you have them both absolutely dominated tho i wouldnt be too worried about CL wrost case scenario you're in a coinflip, and if shortly shows up with AA thats just tought luck, go for a walk have a coke. Last thing you want to do is freeze up at the final table, and believe me im not a big fan of shipping AK preflop in tournaments but i think this situation calls for it. Also, if CL folds which he likely will and you lose 55k to shortly you still have a fairly decent sized stack, so its not like your tournaments is over.
