Fact that its chip leader raising you probably is the biggest clue. He's probably got TT+ or Ak. Let it go after his rise imo. You still have 20+ stack left if you do which has plenty of FEq. Big stacks don't need to go after each other in Sats so he's got too good a reason. Wouldn't be surprised if you're a 20% dog here. Hope you got through.m8.
I'm guessing that the starting stack was 2k and it was a 1/5 sat. In that case you just need to focus on that 10k chips figure, steal the blinds once an orbit and wait out the shorter stacks. You don't want to clash all-in with the other chip leaders.
It's important to know which players understand satellite strategy and which don't. Then focus on stealing the blinds of the players who get it and avoid the players that don't. The players who understand satellite strategy will only 3-bet with a predictable, tight range.
Whether Bernie understands the strategy or not, you don't want to get involved here. If he gets it, then his range is premium hands only. If he doesn't get it, his range is still heavily weighted towards big hands and overcards. Just treat TT as the same as 22 when facing a 3-bet. Preserve your stack and fold.
