Default Correct?

I have been playing some low entry fee, big field tournaments. This situation occurred last night on a $10 buy-in. Started with 1150 players. When this hand came up, there were 40 players left -- everyone in the money, but the "money" is still very low.
Blinds = 2000/1000, with 200 ante. I have 27,000chips and am on the button. Folded to the player to my immediate right who is short-stacked with 16,500 chips. He pushes. I have JJ --- I push so I can isolate and try to keep the big blind out of the hand since he has 50,000 chips.

Correct?

Second question -- Despite my reraise, the Big Blind called the two all-ins with AKsuited.

Correct? As you can guess, I am trying to understand these situations so I can separate crappy play from crappy luck so any observations are appreciated.

Somewhat read-related but I'm more likely to than not in BB's shoes.

Plus winning this for him eliminates two players and i'm assuming will give him one of the largest stacks to abuse the pay jumps and have a real shot at first place.

I would call with AK in his position. I think he has you on a range of 99-QQ and AQ which would be a good call.

I don't think you can fault either of your plays.
