Default Foxwoods Main Event Hand vs. Mimi Tran

I'm posting this hand on behalf of a friend who is interested in what others think the right play is in this situation.

It's about halfway through Day 2 of the 10K Main Event at Foxwoods and they are down to about 120 players out of 600 who started.

Blinds are 1200-2400 with a $300 Ante. My friend has 54K in chips and raises to 9K UTG with QQ. A mid-position player cold-calls and Mimi Tran on the button w/ 200K in chips raises to 39K. Do you fold/call/move-in? Or something else like call and move-in on any flop?

Some background:

Mimi Tran is obviously a well known and respected pro. She has been aggressive to this point and has twice come over the top of early/mid position raises made by other players from late position. She's showed 9-9 and J-J in those two instances.

My friend plays fairly tight and Mimi has played long enough to know this.

I have no info. on the cold-caller.

Any thoughts are appreciated, thanks.

Any reads on the MP caller or just a rando fish?

OP says she made this same play with 99 and JJ earlier.
Hero can:

1) Shove: Putting Mimi (an agressive player who can re-pop or squeeze in this situation) on a 99+ AK+ range. Shove is right.

2) Stop and go. Meh..

3) Fold. If you can give me a great, perfect argument for folding here, please do. Otherwise this seems weak-tight and bad!

I appreciate your attempt to try to spice up the thread, but I kinda agree with the other guy. This seems like a SUPER obvious push here. It goes back to my stack/creativity ratio theory.

I was intrigued as to whether he would call or fold to the shove, and what his stack size was. Any other move but a shove is horrible.

GIGO.
