Default Live $40 MTT - AQo in the BB trouble....

This is a hand from a live MTT I played yesterday at a local casino. Because it was labor day, the tourists were out in droves.

80 people in the tourney - top 8 paid.

It's a $10r, with 3 max rebuys. You have the option of taking all 3 rebuys upfront, and getting an extra t1500 in bonus chips. Since not everyone opted to buy-in for the full amount, the prize structure was roughly something like:
1st = $1000
2nd = $500
3rd = $300
4th = $225
5th = $200
6th = $150
7th = $150
8th = $150

30 people remain at this stage, and hero is about average in chips at his table, with about 10xBB. Hero's image is drum tight- having only shown AA/KK, and a flopped top 2 pair out of the BB with T9s. (Which got cracked when villain called hero's flop shove with KK and turned a set, costing hero the chiplead.) The only other hand hero played was AQ, which was not shown down.

On to the hand: These are the relevant stacks, as all others folded out of the hand, and had roughly t8000:

UTG - t9,000 [Minraised UTG last orbit, and folded to a shove from LP. Fancies himself a much better player than he is.]
UTG+1 - t13,000 [Quiet and passive.]
BB (Hero) - t14,000

Blinds 800/1600

UTG minraises to t3200, and UTG+1 calls... folded to Hero in the BB who looks down to see A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
(Pot = t7200)

What's your move here? Call the minraise? Stop & go? Shove?

Bleh.
