Default $25 short-handed SNG; nut straight vs. probable draw

POKERSTARS GAME #10917527320: TOURNAMENT #55349536, $23+$2 HOLD'EM NO LIMIT - LEVEL IV (50/100) -
Table '55349536 1' 6-max Seat #5 is the button
Seat 2: ih8money (1140 in chips)
Seat 4: Jump747 (4630 in chips)
Seat 5: Crimsonduck (3230 in chips)
ih8money: posts small blind 50
Jump747: posts big blind 100
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Crimsonduck [Jh Ks]
Crimsonduck: calls 100
ih8money: folds
Jump747: checks
*** FLOP *** [9c Qc Tc]
Jump747: bets 4530 and is all-in

Pokerstars 6-handed SNG. pays top 2 with 3 players left. Villain has become a maniac in the last 10 hands. (Going all-in preflop with $2000 chips at 50/100 blinds with AQ off and winning when called by A10) He has also gone all-in on rag flops twice in unraised pots. I know for a fact that his best possible hand here is a draw, therefore, i will at worst, win this hand %66 of the time since I am not holding any clubs. Even bigger favorite if he has something like Q7 with a club since it is an unraised pot and he was in the BB. His range is unlimited.

What would you do when facing a $4350 bet into a $250 pot as %66 favorite?

Unconverted hands make my head hurt. See FAQ then call b/c you have the nuts against an idiot.

Maniac play means you need to take a bit more care. It won't hurt you to wait for a better hand or till the flop is not so dangerous.

I call this instantly like the others have said, lone clubs, two pair, pair and a straight draw are all part of his range.
