Default fold or call with AK here?

here's the hand - decent read on the other guy - he's fairly solid, but I've seen him commit whole stacks and all in's with 88 - so he's not afraid to gamble with his medium pair.

I raise and get reraised by a limper - at this point I thought I'd just call and see the flop - I had the position, so might as well use it -

we're about 30 players from the bubble in a 10 min round MTT - I can survive with 4 or 5 BB for a bit, so a muck is not entirely out of the question if I truly think I'm beat.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (8 handed) converter

SB (t2910)
BB (t5670)
UTG (t9260)
Hero (t6635)
MP1 (t13750)
MP2 (t6669)
CO (t2065)
Button (t18094)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls t600, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t2400</font>, <font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t4250</font>, Hero calls t1800.

Flop: (t8750) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets t5010 (All-In)</font>,

I did the math -

I've got about 2.2K left and I THINK I'm getting almost 5-1 pot odds - (risk 2200 to win 10000) - and a draw to an A or K on the turn or river k comes in about a 3.5 to 1 draw by the river - so I am thinking a call here is good...but I have survived short stacked near the bubble before -

call or muck? - and can anyone give me a good reason for just pushing preflop? - I can't get him out of the hand - I can only see all 5 cards with AK - and that negates any value my position has.
