I found this situation interesting when I thought about it afterwards because of the meta-considerations. This was right on the bubble. The chip leader had gone from around a 6k lead to 2x second place by knocking out a player about 7 hands ago. He then raised every hand and got no callers, which gave him a huge lead when this hand was dealt.

The thing I found interesting was that depending on the big picture situation, I may very well have taken different actions. In the actual hand, I snap-shoved, mainly because I felt it would still be cheap and not very difficult to qualify by playing more satellites.
But if the situation had been one I rarely find myself in (e.g. if the prizes had been packages into a multi-million dollar live tournament), I might very well have folded due to the two tiny stacks both on the verge of blinding out.
