DTD £1k Main Event, 20k starting chips, 2 hour clock.

About 1 hour into the first level (50/100), early position player raises to 300 and gets 1 caller before it comes to me in the SB with . I call and the BB folds. Original raiser has already spewed almost 1/3 of his stack so is down to about 13k. I have approximately my starting 20k.

Flop 

I check. Original raiser bets out 700 into a 1,000 pot, preflop caller folds and I make it 1,700 which is called.

Turn 

I lead for 2,500 into a 4,400 pot and he insta-shoves.

I made the call only for him to reveal  . A blank on the river and I am down to about 7k.

Given the super slow structure should I have folded to his shove?

You could possibly. Need a little more info imo, but generally no. Also, cr size is too small, you want to get stacks in by river.

Yeah, agree with Alex.

In this sort of comp you can definitely make a case for it as we're essentially now only beating a massively overplayed AA or the random times he has KJ but more importantly the checkraise size is poor.

I don't agree. I think entertaining the possibility of folding this hand vs an oppo who's spewing chips is madness. Especially in a tournament where donking off with one pair appears frequent. He will readily push hands like  , in this spot, along with plenty of others. The stack dynamics mean pushing for him, especially when the overcard K comes, is a decent enough play with a widish range of pair/draw combo hands. I mean if you try and build a case for folding a set it only goes to show his move doesn't need to mean 3 kings to work. Agree that cr size is too small.

you made a standard play which was good, you played the hand correctly, against a short stack you are very unlucky to ru in set over set,,, don't feel bad you played it correctly, folding here would have been a silly move, especially as he could eaily havehad AK or AA
