Default AK, limp all-in first hand from EP

This is a WSOP satellite, on party. First hand, just sat down. Blinds are 15/30, players start with 3000 chips.

Preflop: Hero has A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG+1 limps, <font color="red">Hero raises to 150 </font>, all fold, BB calls, <font color="red">UTG+1 raises all-in </font>, Hero?

My thinking is this, I might be against a smaller pair, I might be against AQ or a weaker ace. I guess even a hand that is junk is possible.

This is a satellite where only the top few places get anything. I am gonna have to win every race and push my edges hard. Who folds, who calls, and why?

In a regular tournament I would probably fold this to an unknown and wait to see if he does this move again.

Would you seriously consider calling in this situation and risking your tournament future? You have PLENTY of time to grow your stack.
