Default ATo in sb against lag bigstack and button cc

CO is 33.3/33.3 and button is 30/8. If I push im raising to 23k and the pot is already 17k making it 17k to see a pot of 40k which is a little greater than 2:1 pot odds for either opponent. My question is, can I squeeze this effectively with my stack preflop? Granted I likely had the best hand, do I really want to put my tourney at risk against two bigger stacks with ATo if I do get a caller?

I probably squeeze here against lag and calling station, you will get called in 1 or both spots fairly often, but I know we are ahead of CO, and I am hoping he iso's or folds, even if we manage to get HU against one person there is 16k chips dead money in there giving us 39k to 23k odds or 1.7 to 1, so the range they have to have has to be exactly AJ+, 88+, to not be getting right odds. If you start including 55+ or KQ then we are actually getting it all in good against 1 player which is most likely.

That's what I was thinking, folding this hand is what made me go out a little earlier than I would have liked, placing top 25 only. Thanks much for the response.
