Default $3.30 Stars Re-buy

This hand came up a few levels afer the bubble burst. I feel like I had a LAG image as I had just been caught, but was lucky to double up w/QJ vs TT and stole the pot immediately before this one. Then this hand came up:

Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t1000/t2000
(Ante: t100)
9 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t146882
UTG+1: t28120
MP1: t62621
Hero: t35222
MP3: t35748
CO: t60685
Button: t259795
SB: t63747
BB: t42350

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is MP2 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
3 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to t6000</font>, 3 folds, SB calls t5000 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t9900)</font>, BB folds.

Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (t14900, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">SB is all-in t57647</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero ???</font>.

My thought was he was insta-shoving here as a standard play and not putting me on a pair or better. I didn't have much of a read on the SB as we hadn't tangled yet other than it was his BB that I had stolen on the previous hand. I think my stack is sufficient enough here to lay the hand down, but if he was drawing as well or had only marginally hit the flop I am in good shape with a lot of outs.

What is the right play here?

Call. He can have the flush. But if he doesn't you have 9 outs to the nut flush. And if he as a marginal hand like KT and is making a move to steal the pot, you have 14 outs.

Besides that you have a M of 9 so if you want to get to the final table (where the real money is) you have to risk something. I think this is a good chance to risk.

If you fold you'll have t29222 but if you call and win you can have over t70000 and be in good shape instead of just surviving.

And this is worst case, both sets are in there plus AA and KK.

My thought pattern was in line with everyone here. I needed a bigger stack to make the real money, this was a good chance to increase the stack.

I called, and he held 6c4c and had flopped the flush with his loose call pre-flop. I didn't catch the 4th club.

Thanks for the help.

Well that's a new one, I didn't include flopped flushes in my range because well....

I've never seen a flush played like that.

call. unlikely he plays a flush like that. if he does, make a note because it's almost always a pair, pair + FD or some other weak hand.
