I think that going all-in was the correct move. Had there been fewer players remaining, or your stack larger, I might argue for a fold. Here, I vote for all-in.

Given that the short stack is likely raising light, and the BB will call light, you'll have the best hand more often than not starting out, and will likely be dominating at least one of their Ax hands. Who knows, you may even get the BB to fold.

If you win the hand, you more than double up.

If the short stack beats you, but you beat the BB, you come out of the hand ahead.

If the BB beats you, you're done.

Overall, I think the potential gain (eliminate short stack, double up +) is worth the risk.
