Default PCA - Step 6

My friend sent me this hand and I just don't know the proper play here.

I don't play tournaments myself so I do not have a full understanding of ICM (or even it it applies here)

This is the final 6 for the Step 6 PCA - only top 3 pay and that's it.

Hero is a wild LAG and has already called a SB push with QTdd when he was short. He has also raised KT from the CO and called a push back (getting decent odds)

Is this a snap call?

Seat 1: Hero (12485 in chips)
Seat 2: 1(7694 in chips)
Seat 3: 2(9978 in chips)
Seat 5: 3(4071 in chips)
Seat 7: 4(7435 in chips)
Seat 9: Villain_ (12337 in chips)
Hero: posts the ante 100
1: posts the ante 100
2: posts the ante 100
3: posts the ante 100
4: posts the ante 100
Villain_: posts the ante 100
Villain_: posts small blind 500
Hero: posts big blind 1000
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Hero [Qc Ac]
1: folds
2: folds
3: folds
4: folds
Villain_: raises 11237 to 12237 and is all-in
Hero: folds

you have double the chips basically of the third place guy - chances of winning a seat probably 65%+. chances of winning the hand against villains shove probably 60%ish.

easy fold imo - if it was winner take all - easy call -

sorry - just suck at brain to fingers in wrtiting - meant the 4th place guy who is the one in question. point remains tho - odds of winning a seat if you dont call 65%+ - probably greater then 70% - odds of winning the hand - no more then 60% - still an easy fold - this is basic sng bubble strategy stuff - plugged into an sng tool and you need 75% equity against villains range to make this call - its a fold and not even close
