Default Aces up in big blind

40+4 tourny. level 2, blinds=10/20. 7 handed.

villian has approximately 1300 chips.
i have approximately 2800 chips.

villain is strong player. tricky/aggressive when it counts, but smart enough to be quite tight-passive this early. most of the other players in this game are not very strong.

4 limpers including villain on the button.
hero completes in SB with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. BB checks

flop comes: A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (pot=120)

hero bets 140. folded to villain, who calls.

turn: Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (pot=400)

hero bets 340. villian calls.

river: J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (pot=1080)...villain has 730 left

hero curses his situation, and pushes, seeing no better option...hoping that villain has A5 suited or AT for a split pot.

who does this differently on any street?

perhaps the J on the river was my friend? might he have checked behind on the river had i checked? i did not fear a straight, but was very worried that the villain had made a bigger aces up or was perhaps slowplaying a set.
