Default $55s AK from SB in level2

Spots like this give me a headache. BigStack's big raise screams medium pp. If I call (which I would if the raise was only to 150) and hit no more money will go into the pot (except he hits his set of course). If I push I can only rely on his ability to fold.
What is your play here?

PartyPoker $55 Speed Tournament, Big Blind is t60 (8 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1429)
UTG+1 (t1940)
MP1 (t1700)
MP2 (t5791)
CO (t1600)
Button (t2360)
Hero (t1940)
BB (t3240)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

This is a simple shove. Even a coinflip is just about breakeven, and if they both fold or he calls with a smaller ace you make a big profit.

I can't imagine anything other than pushing being the best play here.
