Thought this deep 2/3 spot was really interesting

The game is 2/3 with buy ins 200-1000, it's about 4am and it's the last table running. Many hands are being straddled.
4 players are more than 1k deep, 2 are regular winners that buy in deep and IMO are very strong players that are quite creative and make a lot of moves (the reason i didnt buy in full) another seems to be a solid out of towner, and the 4th is a very aggressive older Asian gambler.
The previous hand seemed very relevant. After a button straddle, the older Asian makes it 20. I flat in the cutoff, and one of the aggressive regs 3bets to 105. They take a k33 flop heads up. The reg check calls a 115 bet. 9 on the turn brings a 3rd heart. Reg checks, aggressive older asian bets 415. Reg tanks then shoves for around 1k. He takes it down and shows AQ with Q of hearts.
Very next hand. Same older guy opens to 15 in mid position. I flat in late position with A3 of spades. I start the hand with 560. One other player calls. Flop is Ah Qh 6s. He bets 45, I call. Heads up to the turn. 5 of spades. He bets 145. My stack is 500.

Do we know enough info yet?
Is he ever folding better to a raise?
Think we just flat. Play the river

Since you said he is aggressive I think this is a pretty clear call.

I felt like semi bluffs were a big part of his range, and that he'd probably call a shove if he had a heart or spade draw. I also thought he might fold if he had just a weak ace, like an A8 or A9 type hand or any lower ace. That's what I thought was interesting about the spot. Better hands might fold, and many weaker hands might just gamble and call. And finally, I felt like if I called the 145, I was going to call the river.
Against this opponent folding seemed out of the question. I shoved.

I don't hate it. But pot on flop, and overbet on turn. Seems fairly committed.
Obv if he calls with flush draws. We are ecstatic.
Also think I may call a river bet, on most non hearts.

Cant see him folding an Ace either. He was just bluffed on previous hand
