Re: Did I play it right??
I might have waited and seen if the short stack got crippled with the blinds. The big stack can call you easily and still be in the lead, so he has a big incentive to gamble to knock you out.
It depends someone on your image in the game situation, but I think I would have folded and waited for another spot.

Re: Did I play it right??
If you are playing to win, this is a good play. Your hand is better than average and is a favorite over two random cards.
If you want to just move up in the money, you should have waited for the small stack to bust out. He's coming up on the blinds and should be knocked out unless he catches some cards.

If it was before, then I'd say if you are going to play the hand it's a clear push. But, keep in mind, he's getting 3-1 to call and it's almost an auto-call on his part without even looking at his cards. If winning is very important, then yes, it's clearly the right play. If another $230 is important to you, then it's a clear fold IMO.
