Default $109 tourney, T5s hand

$109 tourney, about 25 left out of 150, I'm about 5th or so, second stack in the table. I wasn't stealing much recently, didn't play too many pots, so I do it now. Chip leader at the table (2nd over all I think), a solid, not extremely aggressive, player, is sitting on the BB.

I want some feedback on this hand. It's not a "could I get away from it" post, as I'd really like to hear if I played it the best possible way, or maybe like an idiot. I simply wonder if bottom 2p is enough to risk this tourney here, as the aggressor, against the only stack that can bust me, and who might not call this all-in without a hand that beats me. Any thoughts?
