Default 10 players, 5 WSOP seats, One sticky situation...

So here's the situation: WSOP qualifier on Party, 250ish players, 5 WSOP packages up for grabs. 6-8th get some decent amount of cash, but I was playing to give myself the best chance to win a WSOP seat.

The villian in this hand I had as a 20% VPIP and 15% PFR for the last 20 hands we had played. However we had been playing SH at two tables before we were amalgamated into the final table only a few hands ago.

My general read on him was that he was fairly tight, and played fairly standard.

The final table so far pretty much consisted of a pre-flop raise taking down the blinds. So fairly standard stuff for late in a MTT.

I had been fairly aggressive late in this tournament stealing often however I was yet to play a hand at the final table.

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t2500</font>, Button calls t2500, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>.

So pf seems pretty straightforward. Unusual for someone to smooth call a pre-flop raise however.

Flop: (t6500) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t4000</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t8000</font>...

I have two overcards and a nut flush draw. It's 4k back to me and I have t10,400 left in my stack.

If I fold I am left with t10,400 and that's 10.4BB.

If I call, I am left with 6.4BB

If I reraise, my only option is pretty much to push all-in, leaving him to call t6,400.

If you think I should call, how do you suggest I proceed if I miss my heart draw? If I hit an ace or jack?

I just thought of this - would anyone bet differently on this flop? Maybe check-raise all-in?
