MP had 22/17 over 80 hands playing pretty much abc till then
CO was a complete donk that lost a big pot the previous hand

Poker Stars, $0.45 Buy-in (500/1,000 blinds, 60 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #37025237

MP: 14,843 (14.8 bb)
CO: 5,004 (5 bb)
BTN: 17,139 (17.1 bb)
Hero (SB): 11,824 (11.8 bb)
BB: 4,736 (4.7 bb)
UTG: 13,954 (14 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J

UTG folds, MP raises to 14,783 and is all-in, CO calls 4,944 and is all-in, 1 fold, Hero???

Since nobody responded, I'm giving my insight:

I really wanted to call this one, since we're already ITM, the CO range is very very weak (tilt range), but for me it was really strange the 14bb MP shove, since he was playing pretty much abc poker, so I couldn't narrow his range correctly.

Considering that most of my opponents are donkeys I'm in a real good position to win this tourney. So ICM wise I think it is a close fold. Chip wise I think it is a close call.

Have you seen him minraise/ shove this stack depth? I believe in this situations with 14bb stack villain is minraising the top of the range (qq+, AQs, AK), folding the bottom, and shoving mainly low pairs, some Ax and maybe KQ. If your reads on CO are correct, i would call this one.
