PP $15k tourney- half the field remains- good play or bad?

[tedtodd]

378 left from a field 886
avg. stack size- 10,500

I haven't been real active, but have a decent image, I've taken a few pots from the WT player- so I know he's folding here. 50/50 on the other guy. Was this a good play- or reckless at this time in the tourney?
The table has been Very-Tight, so I'm trying to loosen up my play a bit, hence my cards out of position.
