Default (11) Nasty 2 pair, villain shoves Ace on turn

I'm, of course, normally folding this PF. The damned WPEX blinds the first two levels (10-15 and 15-25) sometimes flip my idiot switch to "extra" in the SB.

It's only the 8th hand of the tourney and villain's only played one pot, which he didn't show. Is his shove an ace enough for me to call, or am I looking at disaster if I do?

WPEX 1 Table Tourney, 5 seats max

Small Blind $10, Big Blind $15
Hero is SB $1455
BB $722
UTG $1477
CO $2401
BTN $1445

Dealt to Hero 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG calls $15, 1 fold, BTN calls $15, Hero calls $5, BB checks

Flop 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (Pot $60)
Hero bets $45, 2 folds, BTN calls $45

Turn A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (Pot $150)

Hero bets $100, BTN raises to $1385 (all-in), Hero ???

Pretty standard fold here. I think you are ahead most of the time, but you have to be ahead pretty much all the time to call. A read could definitely sway my decision here though.

I'd call. He could be doing this with a naked A or even something like 87dd.

I think you're ahead enough to call here. Pretty strange way to play 77 or even A's up.

I call with ease. Serious overbet doesn't scream a made hand to me, I'm guessing one pair with some sort of draw.

Hell, villain could easily have 6x.

Why do you have to ahead all the time here? Theres no way you can know that anyways.

Only 8 hands in, easy call. I see this kind of [censored] all the time at the 5.50s without a pair. If he has a set, good game and load another one. You're ahead here often enough to call this.
