$1 30 man AK early on

Hi, new poster, having trouble with hand conversion so will have to tell it this way:

Blinds 10/20
Hero (1500) UTG - AsKs

Hero raises to 80, UTG+1 raises to 270, folds to SB who calls 260, BB calls 250. Hero raises all-in, UTG+1 calls all in, BB calls all-in.

Hero shows AsKs
UTG+1 shows 7h7d
BB shows AcKc

Flop: Qh, 2h, 6c
Turn: 9s
River Qh

Did I play it right? I wanted to 3 bet UTG+1 and had to commit my stack in my book, but I'm not sure. Help appreciated!

Slightly confused as to why there are two queen of hearts in the deck but anyway.

Early in a tournament, the better play would have been to just call the reraise. AK has strong speculative value but is medium-weak in terms of guaranteed value. Why risk your entire tournament when you can call, see a flop and then act with that additional information?

With this flop and with the strength that the other players displayed preflop, it would probably be time to shutdown.

Playing it this way, you would have only lost 270 and have had 1230 left. Your tournament chances are still good. Survival is always key.

readless I call, we have a good drawing hand (yes, AK is a drawing hand) and we're early so we should play tight. Versus a nit I could even consider folding. The only scenario I am committing all my chips pre is if the UTG+1 3bettor is an aggro-fish 3 betting 20%+ of his hands
