This one busted me but did I play it right?

I satellited in to the $100K guarantee game at Bovada and over the course of about 3.5 hours, I was sitting at 20,147 in chips in the small blind with blinds at 500/1000 and antes of 100. We're down to about 120 players remaining with the cash starting at 81 players. The action folds to me in the SB where I have KTo. I min-raise to 2K and the BB with 35,595 in chips (a gambler according to tournament indicator) 3B's to 6800. I jam, he calls, and turns over AhKh. The board runs out JhQh9sQd8h, flopping me the straight and rivering him the flush. My question is this... should I have jammed, taking advantage of possible fold equity, my TAG table image, and his loose tendencies, or just folded? I think that folding would have been a pretty nitty move and flatting OOP would have been terrible but I'd love a second (and third and fourth, ad infinitum) opinion. Thanks for any insight.

Very big 3-bet in position. I would fold without other reads than this and your impression of the player.

You need to be confident he's 3betting light to shove profitably, which is different than "loose tendencies."

Fold to the massive 3b, what hand do you expect to see? Do a quick OPR/Sharkscope and see what's up. The open is fine but I don't like the 4b shove really.

Open shoving or limp/x against a "gambler". Fold as played since you have zero FE.

You obviously don't play on Bovada...

You have 36xBB, apparently effective. So open shoving would be bad. Just raise or complete and reevaluate if raised.

I believe we have 20bb, opponent has 35bb. OP is a bit hard to read though.
