I would call this. You have a good chance to be ahead and even if not, you have a decent number of outs to catch up. There is no hand that you are drawing dead against so I think this a good spot to get your chips in.

Thanks for your comments. Turns out, villian had pocket 9s, but I hit the straight with a 3 on the river and won the tournament two hands later.

This is an all in against any player. With blinds this high, play top pair like the nuts (if you even see a flop, that is).

I call this w/o the straight draw.

Even if he turned over his 99 as he moved in, you have a call with your 13 outs.

Beat him to the pot. I probably just complete preflop though.

Shouldn't the pot on the flop be 2400? But yeah, insta-call that on the flop...
