Default Live Tournament Hand - Opinions please

Final table, playing 5 handed. I've been quite active, not getting out of line and have shown down good hands only. I am second chip leader on 100k. The villain in this hand is a good player. He has been extremely active since tripling up in a recent hand and has started raising alot of hands. His stack is 120k.

Blinds are 2k/4k. I limp UTG with QJd. I'd usually raise here, but I want to mix my up play a little and often a limp UTG will look scary here.

Villain completes on the small blind and the BB checks.

The flop is 9T2, two clubs. The blinds check and I throw in 8k. Villain immediately raises to 25k. The BB folds.

I feel the villain has either a nine or a ten here. He definitely doesn't have air, as i've picked off a few of his steals earlier. He'd raise any pocket pair preflop. T2 and 92 are definite no nos. 9T is an outside shot, though I feel he'd have led or check-called in that spot.

I think my queen and jack are live here 75+ of the time if I hit and obviously any 8 or K.

I feel the villain has sufficient folding equity to lay down a 9 or T (he'll still have the 2nd biggest stack ~100k) so I instantly push.

All comments appreciated.
