Default $25+2 Turbo: Call a push with an overpair on scary board?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG+1 (t1400)
MP1 (t1560)
MP2 (t1770)
MP3 (t1100)
CO (t1380)
Button (t1490)
Hero (t1480)
BB (t1420)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, MP2 calls t30, <font color="gray">MP3 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t120</font>, BB calls t90, MP2 calls t90

Flop: (t375) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
<font color="red">Hero bets t210</font>, BB calls t210, MP2 calls t210

Turn: (t1005) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="red">MP2 bets t1440 (All-in)</font>, Hero prays and calls?

Reads: I sharkscoped villain. He's a loosing player over 1200 sngs. I assumed that with QQ+ MP2 had raised me preflop. With AKs he probaly wouldn't have pushed but raised on the turn. So I put MP2 on a draw or a set. With Jack of spades I maybe have some outs.
No reads on BB, but he didn't raise the turn so I didn't give him too much credit for a strong hand.

Is it too early to risk the tournament or a good chance to double up?

Yep, but you shoulda shoved the turn to begin with.

I'm not sure about potting the flop, but I definitely come at it heavier. 275-300.

I smell a villain with a small flush (2,4 or something similar). The checks on the turn make him think neither of other two has the flush, and villain does not want to risk a river spade.
