This is a freeroll satellite to the daily $15 GG Masters Overlay tournament and has 11 tickets. Now we are 38 players left with top 11 paid the $15 tickets.

Do you guys think that shoving here and isolating the UTG and get a fold from the BB with K5s is a good play?
Or you guys just fold pre-flop and move to the other hand?

According to the GGPoker HUD the UTG has VPIP 15 and BB has VPIP 26

GG Poker - 2,500/5,000 Ante 500 NL (8 max) - Holdem - 8 players
Hand converted by Holdem Manager 3

BB: 64,279 (12.9 bb)
UTG: 17,995 (3.6 bb)
UTG+1: 181,009 (36.2 bb)
MP: 92,900 (18.6 bb)
MP+1: 9,800 (2 bb)
CO: 21,033 (4.2 bb)
BTN: 137,415 (27.5 bb)
Hero (SB): 69,966 (14 bb)

8 players post ante of 500, Hero posts SB 2,500, BB posts 5,000

Pre Flop: (pot: 11,500) Hero has 5♦: K♦:
UTG raises to 17,495 and is all-in, 5 folds, Hero raises to 69,466 and is all-in, fold

Flop: (43,990, 2 players) J♥: K♣: Q♠:

Turn: (43,990, 2 players) 2♣:

River: (43,990, 2 players) Q♥:

Spoiler

Results: 43,990 pot (0 rake)
Final Board: J♥: K♣: Q♠: 2♣: Q♥:

Hero shows 5♦: K♦:: (Two Pair, Kings and Queens)
(Pre 55%, Flop 26%, Turn 16%)

UTG shows Q♣: J♣:: (Full House, Queens full of Jacks)
(Pre 45%, Flop 74%, Turn 84%)

UTG wins 43,990

Seems reasonable, but this is close with K5s against a 3bb UTG shove.
Off course I don't know if you have a top 10 stack. Otherwise I would fold those marginal spots.

My stack was under the average stacks (115K- 125K)

Given the fact, that it is a freeroll, I would just fold this hand, as BB might play very splashy.

In a real $$$ tournament, I think I like this play.

Exactly — although the fact that it's a freeroll doesn't matter as much as the fact that this is a satellite, where you don't need to finish first, just finish in the money.
So for me, I'll wait for a spot with better equity — even though UTG has an extremely wide range here.

Fold. Not gaining much by getting involved here.

If regular bounty tournament I don't mind the iso.

If non bounty I'm not sure I'd call.
