I don't think there is anything wrong with laying this down, but I really dislike your opening raise. I think you should have either raised less (~250) or more (~500). At this stage in the tournament I prefer to make the smaller raise since playing AK post flop with a large pot can be tricky, especially out of position.

and UTG raise then UTG+1 re-raise is pretty strong, so I'd say you have practically no fold equity here. You also have a large stack, and you should be reluctant to get into coin flips with those other people at your table that can nearly bust you. When you have a large stack in relation to the big blind I believe your priority is to protect your big stack, try and pick up uncontested pots to chip up, and tangle with the smaller stacks when the pot odds and your hand dictate it is correct to do so, in that order.

I don't think winning this hand at this stage of the tournament significantly increases your chances of making the final table that much, while losing this potential coin flip virtually assures you won't make it.

Barring reads I either lay this down (easily if I make a smaller PF raise) or call with the plan of check/folding a miss, check raising all in if I hit, and possibly pushing the flop if the board is scary enough and I think I can get him to lay down a hand like TT or JJ.

Call me weak tight, but when I have 50 times the BB I don't like to play coin flips for most of my chips, especially early in the tournament.
