Default Comfortably in the money...then this hand comes up

I think this is the first hand I've ever posted here though I read this forum just about every day.

This was from the Empire 5K last night, about 40 players left, top 30 make the money. I believe the avg stack was approximately 3500 at the time. My feeling is that I don't care about squeaking into the money, I want to make final tables. I felt like Villian might be trying to steal with a flush draw...with that in mind, how was my push here?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (9 handed) converter

UTG (t3390)
UTG+1 (t2377)
MP1 (t4589)
Hero (t4947)
Villian (t3630)
CO (t2410)
Button (t2656)
SB (t9136)
BB (t3090)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t600</font>, <font color="#A500AF">Villian</font> calls t600, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>.

Flop: (t1650) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t600</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Villian raises to t1800</font>, Hero calls [t3747] t600, Villian calls [t1230] t1800.

Turn: (t4050) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t4050) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t4050

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has Ac Jh (one pair, aces).
Villian has As Kc (one pair, aces).
Outcome: Villian wins t4050. </font>

if that's what you really thought he was doing then the push is OK.
but I think once he reraises you, your AJ is probably not the best hand. Do you really think he'd raise that much of his stack with just a semi-bluff flush draw?
