Default PS $10 7pm MTT facing huge UTG raise

My M is getting low(about 5.5) and i have TT in the big blind. Villain in this hand is 6/3 over 30 hands. The only raise I've seen him make was 4xBB, also UTG, that won the blinds. We're 3 out of the money, if that impacts what you think he might be raising with.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t800 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

UTG+1 (t13558)
MP1 (t7770)
MP2 (t19415)
MP3 (t7899)
CO (t14203)
Button (t6335)
SB (t44503)
Hero (t10673)
UTG :#A500AF(villain)/ (t18275)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG :#A500AF(villain)/ raises to t6475</font>, <font color="#666666">7 folds</font>, Hero ???

There's ~1850 in the pot before any action.

I really have no idea how to read this. Villain isn't raising much at all so this has to be a good hand, but what the heck do you make of the 8x raise for 1/3 of his stack? I can't imagine that's AA or KK, but what range do you give here to this raise?

And, does it matter? With my stack size is there any way this can be reasoned into a fold?
