I'm getting a freeroll in a local donkament today, what's my play?

Trip report.

34 enter the tourney, so its like a multi-table SNG. I hit the first break with 6400 and the second break as chip leader. But the blinds are doubling every 20 minutes, and this hand comes along.

I'm in MP on a 6 handed table with A 7 offsuit. I have about 13K and the blinds are 400/800 with 50 ante. I push and get called by BB who has AK. I have him covered, but not by much. I spike a 7 on the flop and hold on. It was the only hand the entire 3 hours that I was behind.

I get to the final table with about 23K and draw the 10 seat so I've got the button. By the time the blinds come to me, I've eliminated one player with KQ suited against his 6 6, and chip leader has eliminated 4 others. I've got 35K, he's got 50K, the rest are 20-30K each.

Chip leader knocks out the short stack, and we're 4 handed. Guy with about 30K chips offers a chop, we all take it. Chip leader gets $1,200, we all get $800 apiece.

Thanks for listening.
