Default AKo behind an open push?

Any thoughts here? UTG had raised preflop about 3 hands earlier with 78s. This is a $10+1.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) converter

CO (t800)
Button (t1080)
SB (t860)
BB (t860)
UTG (t540)
Hero (t760)
MP1 (t690)
MP2 (t1415)
MP3 (t995)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="red">UTG raises t510 (all-in)</font>, Hero ??

push. You have a premium hand against a player willing to make moves with a non premium hand.

Push. You are very unlikely to be facing AA or KK, either the guy is trying to steal the blinds or he is a WPT watching idiot who thinks that low pairs should always be pushed preflop because the 54% he sees on TV means he will win.

If I know opponent is pushing only pairs I'd definitely fold. There are better ways to accumulate chips in a 10+1.

You can put UTG on only pairs?

UTG sucks, therefore I push as well.

Oh, yeah, I see what you mean. This is a very easy push though, right?

I'd probably grudgingly push. I haven't played 10/1s in quite a while, but 60-65% odds is probably worth it.

I ran it through my hand probability calculator, and given the stack sizes, there's an 82% chance he has TT, and an 8% chance it's 44-77. The other 10% is Harrington's 10% bluff rule.

Gotta go with the probability calcs here. Fold.
