What do you think?

Ok I want to see what everyone thinks. I was playing a tournement this past weekend that paid out through 4 places. I was at the final table with 8 people left. There were 4 of us with strong stacks. I was about the 3rd biggest stack with about 15000 chips. I was in second position. Blinds were 500-1000 the guy in 1st position limped in and he had the second biggest stack. I was delt Jack jack and pushed all in. Everyone folded around to the small blind and he called me with Big Slick. We were about even stacked I only had 500 more chips than he did. The BB folded as did the guy in 1st position who limped in. The small blind who called me turned over Big Slick. So I was a slight favorite going in but he flopped a King and beat me. Was pushing all in the right move or should have I played it safe and rasied about 4 or 5 times the big blind. I thought about doing that but figured someone would move all in on it anyway and I was out of position. How whould have played it. Do you think I played it right and just got unlucky coming up aganist A-K? I have kind of been kicking myself for not playing safe just trying to move up into the money. I could have folded or limped in and folded after the flop when the king came down and waited it out until 3 of the other players at the table who were extreamly small stacked with only 3000-5000 in chips got blinded out. Anyway just looking for a second opinion. Let me know Thanks
