Default Bubble - Top two, hideous board, anyone throw it away?

No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (10 handed) converter

UTG+2 (t6690)
MP1 (t9140)
MP2 (t4030)
MP3 (t7950)
CO (t4301)
Button (t13906)
SB (t7201)
Hero (t3150)
UTG (t1542)
UTG+1 (t6425)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, MP3 calls t200, CO calls t200, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero checks.

Flop: (t700) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t700</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises to t2400</font>, CO folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero...</font>

Large field low buyin MTT, table is playing relatively tight (we're 20 spots out of the money), MP3 hasn't done anything stupid. Odds calculator puts me at a coinflip to A6h, slight favorite to other draws, only a dog to sets or made straight.

One half of me says push, even more so with the presence of draws; other half says with draw city and a potential made straight to look for another spot w/over 10x BB to play with. Squeaking into the money is not a remote consideration, I'm playing for final table.

I think this is a call. A made str8 seems unlikely here, unless he's the kind of guy who open limps with 64 or 96. If he's got a made hand, this is a pretty big overbet. In my mind, a draw to the str8 or flush are more likely, which would be great. On the other hand you have to worry about a set, which is a bit less likely given your hand.

Villain also may put you on a steal here, and wants you to lay it down. Another factor for a call.

If he's not horrible, I would call and expect a 6, hearts or AA.
