Default fold AA to scary board against push? (not interested in PF)

This is a $55 MTT, just before the first break.

Villain is very tight. Earlier he raised UTG, I min-reraised with AK, he pushed and I folded. He showed QQ.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed)

SB (t6090)
BB (t2420)
UTG (t4435)
UTG+1 (t2170)
Hero (t3555)
MP2 (t3346)
CO (t3995)
Button (t1009)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] .
UTG raises to t300, 1 fold, Hero raises to t500, 5 folds, UTG calls t200.

The minraise was because of the afforementioned hand. I wanted him to see that as weak again and go OTT. (The first minraise was to see what Mr. Rock was raising with UTG, and the 2nd was a setup after the first. Not interested in more opinions on that. Read on.)

Flop: (t1150) 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets t700, UTG calls t700.

Turn: (t2550) K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
UTG bets t3235 (All-In), Hero ??.

EDIT: Note that i'm getting better than 2 to 1, cuz he has me outchipped. I have to call my remaining 2300 to win 5K already in there.
