Appreciate analysis on all streets here. This was key hand in $600 Deepstack Challenge at Venetian. 110 runners, ~ 30 remaining. Blinds are 600/1200 + 100.
Hero has 35,000 chips. Has tight table image but villain is new to the table.
Villain has ~ 40,000 chips. Youngish with beard, hoodie and sunglasses and eastern European accent. New to table, so no reads.
Player in BB is young Asian male with hat and sunglasses (only puts them on when he's in a hand) who has been super aggressive, making lots of shoves over min. raises and stealing (we think) pots with aggression.
Hero has A

Villain checks
Hero bets 11,000
Bet size here is larger than normal in order to dissuade super-aggro player on the BB from trying to make a steal raise and to protect my top/top against flush draw (even though I have queen blocker). Too much? Would half-pot lead of 7000 be better/different?
BB folds
Villain calls 11,000
Pot now = 35,500

Villain moves all-in. Call is for all of Hero's remaining 20,000 chips.
Hero tanks (right at break) and after 3-4 minutes villain calls clock.
call or fold?
