Default Re: RTR 10K Freeroll - AK on bubble

Could someone please explain WHY this is a shove instead of just saying it is a shove.

The amatuer in me says to fold a drawing hand here.

1) Villian has solid stats and has only shown down pocket pairs. Plus his raise is UTG+1.

2) If I do shove, I have no fold equity and villian will call ALWAYS.

3) If 1 and 2 are right, I will lose 56% of the time and be elimated 6 from the cash.

4) If I do spike an A or K and win the hand, it is only worth another $5-10 to me. Why would I risk $40 to gain an extra $5-10.

Not saying I am right...I would just like to know why a shove it right here. Thanks.
