Default QQ UTG and on the bubble

Hi All,

Situation: $33 two-table SNG on PokerStars. Blinds are 100/200 with 25 antes. Five players left (top four pay) and I'm the chip leader with ~11,500, having rebuilt my stack after I called an all-in reraise with TT only to find my opponent had AA. Now I'm UTG with QQ. I make it 600. Button moves all-in for ~1900. SB moves all-in for ~4500.

Reads: Button is a solid player and has come back from ~350 after I flopped a set on 22 to his top pair on QJ. But he's short-stacked and I figure he has to move in on any decent hand. SB has been very tight-aggressive at the final table; he hasn't played many pots, but has pushed all-in on every pot he's played.

What do you do?

Results in white text below:

<font color="white"> I called time and used almost half my time bank mulling this over. I wasn't worried about the button as he was short-stacked and had to move. I was worried about the SB, but I reasoned he'd moved in on every hand he had played, so this wasn't an automatic AA or KK read. I called. Button had KTs; SB had TT. My QQ held up, and I busted both of them to take a dominating lead and coasted to a win. </font>
