Default Extracting value with a monster

Early in a tourney when the stacks were still deep, I had the following situation where I hit a monster. I'm obviuosly looking to get paid off, but is this a situation where I just won't be able to get anything more? Sorry this hand isn't very interesting, but what do you do as a standard play when flopping a monster in position with deep stacks, after having reraised preflop?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) converter

MP1 (t2200)
MP2 (t3790)
MP3 (t2700)
CO (t2160)
Hero (t2240)
SB (t1760)
BB (t2730)
UTG (t2520)
UTG+1 (t2400)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t60</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP3 calls t60, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t250</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG calls t190, MP3 folds.

Flop: (t590) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ??</font>

With the A on the board, there's only 1 A left in the deck, so do I just bet the flop and accept that I'll only be paid off if he has it? Checking behind after reraising preflop will set off alarm bells in this guy's head won't it? What's the best way to be paid off here?
