Default Interesting chop situation

So I was recently talking about this with a friend and was wondering what some other peoples thoughts were. This was about 2 years ago at my first live tourney with a decent buy-in.

$100 with 100 entries
1st $5,000
2nd $2,000
3rd $1,000
4th $500
5th $400
6th $300
7-10 already paid out forget exactly

So down to 6 players ~250K chips in play blinds are 4k-8k, I had been the big stack and had just pushed with 8's and doubled up the small stack, so now everyone is between 20k and 60k chips.

The table had been talking about a split but I had turned it down with the big stack. Now I am the short stack with 25K and UTG and they still want to split. The dealer not paying attention deals out the hands while we are talking and im about to agree to split up $1500 6 ways. Well I look down and see red K's, then tell them again i'm not gonna split. The BB in the hand says "oh so you found a hand well if you push im calling" then he quickly flashes me A-Qd. Now in a casino maybe there are rules against this but this tourney was being run half-assed in a bar so trying to kill his hand wasn't an option.

Even if I double I have 48K in chips with blinds hitting me next, and I would need to take at least 2nd to be ahead of the split of $1500. What would you do?
