Default Close to ITM blind steal

The table was getting tight as we moved closer to ITM, and I decided to raise to take down the pot. The BB re-raise putting me AI to call. Should I have folded to the re-raise or call and hope I have the best hand?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (9 handed) converter

BB (t5770)
UTG (t8054)
UTG+1 (t8665)
MP1 (t20730)
MP2 (t23590)
MP3 (t12145)
Hero (t4175)
Button (t6710)
SB (t7424)

Preflop: Hero is CO with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 calls t600, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t2400</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t4200</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls t1725 (All-In).

Flop: (t9225) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Turn: (t9225) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>
River: (t9225) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t9225

Easy call. Pot is laying you 4.3:1, you can call if he shows you KK, or AKs before you call.

with &lt;8BB left you should be in push and fold mode.
