Bottom line: I could post and fold and probably walk into the money.

This may or may not be true (even though you are the 4th stack), depending on the percentage of the total chips you now have.
I love sattellites because the vast majority of players shut down too early and you can often steal your way into the money.
Regardless, I don't think that trying for the blind steal was necessarily wrong - you just went about it wrongly. Make a real raise and be serious about your hand - 3 to 4x the big blind. Even a big stack will think twice about coming in with garbage.
Once you hit the flop like you did, bet it strongly, don't mess around against a big stack. You have a big enough stack to hurt him a bit, make it obvious you are committed to this pot. And if you only win a small pot in this situation, count your blessings (and try to stay away from entanglements with other big stacks in the future [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ).
