Well done for cashing. Was he called by either of the blinds? If so, what hand did he have?

He took the blinds down.

reminds me of a spot i was in in a GUKPT main event last year.
1 left to the money (£2.4k iirc) and i'm a very shortstack on the button with QQ.

UTG+1 raises (he has been taking advantage of the bubble and is raising 50% hands)
C/O 3bets to about what i have left (he's a well respected tightish player.)

I had paid absolutely nothing to get into the tournament and was freerolling.
Call and increase stack by about 150% or fold and pray you cash?
Add to this the other tables all crowding around when they saw me tank...... yukyukyuk lololol

I ended up reluctantly mucking as i didn't like the thought of original raiser flatting then checking down 3way with QQ and leaving with only the bubble in my pocket. 

I folded and cashed and Dave Maudlin (3bettor) later told me he had TT.  I know technically it's a bad fold and if i were in the same situation again i snap it off.  The £2k+ cash from a freeroll at the time though was quite a big deal for me.

If however i'd paid myself into this event i would have been fistpump shoving all day long.

I really think this sums everything up perfectly... if it's within your roll to play then fist pump call, but if not then I think folding it out to scrape into the cash is fine if it is a significant amount of money.
