Was this the correct decision or being very overly cautious

In pokerstars Big 20 finale, the final day of the three-day Tournament there was an interesting situation with 45 players left down to five tables and two away from a $1,500 pay jump. (video included)

It was AK in the small blind vs KK in the hijack position. You can watch the entire video if you want but the hand in question begins around the 1:51:31 mark.

So, what would you have done if you have pocket kings in this situation?

Thank you for sharing.

Maria did a great job of communicating why the KK is a shove based on SPR.

The fold is just bad poker.

Yeah what a bad play ! I mean, what better hand would he be waiting for in order for him to get involved ?
The least he could've done there is call, considering the strength of KK and his position. How could he not see a flop ? I could even understand his fold if he was facing a shove and risking his tournament life !

Call - jam non Ace flop - hope villain doesn't have AA.

I’m at least calling this raise. Curious…where did Legionrok finish?
