Late stages of FTOP MTT advice request

$200 entry 6 per table FTOP event with 2500 entries. Currently in 9th place out of 62. Well into the money. No significant bubbles coming up. I have a big chip lead at my table with about 175K chips. Rest of table averaging about 50K. Tournament leader (villain) gets moved to my table (about 465K in chips. Name not familiar. On about his 5th hand at table, with blinds at 2 and 4K, table folds to villain in SB. He raises to 10,400K (pretty standard in that spot). I'm in BB with AK hearts.

Raise is obv here, but how much? I don't have any info on player, other than to assume he is aggressive given his stack size at this point in tourney.

Thanks for the advice. I'll let you know what I did and what happened.

Outcome

Hey Triptanes - How'd you guess?

I bumped it to 31K, he pushes, I call.

He has ........ 67 off and hits full house.

In retrospect, I've pondered whether shoving after his initial raise would have been better. I'm not folding preflop regardless, and this would eliminate the chance of him putting me on a resteal. It also would send a message bout future steal attempts. Still not sure though. Thoughts?

I went out somewhere in the 80s and I took a look and he was up there in chips. I heard he had an epic meltdown going from 1m to 100k, but he made the final table :). Crappy beat man.
