Default WCOOP ME, Table chip leader in a tricky (?) spot UTG

Few good hours into the ME (lvl 13).

Blinds 2500/1250, ante 250. I'm chip leader at the table by quite a margin, raising pretty often in and out position, but not really getting out of line post. I have raised 2 of the last 4 hands, taking the first pf and the other with a healthy c-bet in position on a J64 rainbow flop.

I'm now UTG with 340,591. I get J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. I raise to 7,199 which is normal (I'm throwing in all kinds of similar random 7000-7500 numbers). This is 2nd hand in a row that I'm raising.

UTG+1 (156,521), calls quickly. He is a weak player who calls too much, probably feeling I'm trying to run him over or something. Considering his position he must have some kind of a real hand, I would also imagine he might call here with very big hands to "trap" me post, however he can definitely have 44 or ATs he just won't fold to my raise, without any real plan. He called my raises quite a few times and too often folded post flop.

Folded to UTG+3 (124,900) who makes it 24,650 total after a short deliberation. He is also quite a weak player, but from the rather tight and predictable type. He certainly has a big hand here, I might say AK/QQ+, but since I played so aggressively and the player behind me called too much, UTG+3 could have also slightly weaker hands (maybe TT, but relatively rarely I think. I believe he calls TT here usually, also possibly calling AKo somewhat more often than raising it? just guessing). He is definitely not a tricky player and is not doing it as some kind of a "play". He would also try to avoid playing pots with me, as I see it.

Folded to me. My action and plan?

Edit: One thing to mention here is that I believe that if UTG+3 does have AKo (AKs too?) here, he might be the exact kind of player who would fold it if I reshove on him (I didn't do any such moves up until now). Not saying this is a good move of course, only saying that I believe he is capable of making "big" bad folds, PF and post.
