Default Big pot brewing... deep wpt hand.

I want to try to post a few live hands I have played in the past before monte carlo. I'm really itching to play live again, and I want to see if anything interesting might come out of the hands I post.

This hand is roughly 90 minutes into day 1 of the WPT Niagara main event. For the sake of making these hands interesting and focusing on the right details I'll neglect to include my hand.

Starting stacks were 20k, most stacks at the table range from ~8k to close to 30k. I have one of the bigger stacks at the table w/ 28k. John D'Agastino is directly to my left. Overall he is playing pretty passive and not causing me any problems yet. Mostly we are talking to eachother about what a donk Mike Matusow is.

Blinds are 25/50. A few very poor players limp in, about 3 limpers to me on the button and I make it 300. Jdags and bb fold, all limpers call (including utg), in quick rhythm and show no particular hesitation.

The flop is A68 rainbow (1275 in the pot). Checked to me and I bet 1000, utg calls immediatly, rest fold.

Turn is an Ace completing the rainbow. (3275 pot)
Villain checks, I bet 3000, he looks me up and down and says in a kinda thick asian accent "raise... raise to 10 thousand" and tosses out 2 5k chips. He is definitely showing a sign of strength with his demeanor, and i doubt hes clever enough to make an act of it. He has ~8k left after his raise.

Overall he seems kinda bad, tho this is prob biased cause i think everyone older than 40 is probably going to be bad. He is looking very anxiously awaiting my action.

What hands do you think are in his range? What hand do you want to go broke with? Do you ever call (not shove his extra 8k in the middle)?

Keep in mind that overall he had been very passive preflop and I do not recall him raising pf at all during the time at the table.
