Hi guys, so today I have been playing a few 9 man turbos. And I was faced with this gross spot where I ended up calling and ended up being all but busted. What do you guys think?

Btw these chip stacks are before blinds and antes are collected.

UTG: 1616 - 5.5bb
HJ: 2781 - 9bb
CO: 1449 - 5bb
BTN: 1725 - 5.5bb
SB (Hero): 2491 - 8bb
BB: 3438 - 11bb

Blind level: 150/300 25 ante

So the action goes with CO shoving and BTN calling with me holding TT. I knew this was a close spot but edged the call as I believe with 5 people left after CO or BTN basically busts I am still not guaranteed to cash by a long stretch. My thought process is that if I win this hand I can then abuse the table with my around about 20bb stack and have a good chance of winning. If I am up against two overcards and an underpair I am a favourite as well as both players having two overcards with one player being dominated which is what happened.

So CO had KQo and BTN had AKo so i had 46% before the flop and the board ran out:
6232A

Should I be getting away from this hand or am I too short to fold? I know it is close so would like to see what the community thinks.

its indeed a close spot but calling 10's is fine assuming CO and btn shove correctly. I would fold 9's

Thanks for the response. I would also fold 99 but would snap call JJ so this spot definitely caused some headaches ����
