I'd raise to 600 and see what happens from there.

You're chip leader by a decent margin, CO will likely only call with an excellent hand since he has a big enough stack to avoid taking a stand and can wait for the small stacks to die off. The button wouldn't call that raise without a good reason either as the two smaller stacks are yet to act and you said the SB has been going all in a lot.

The only way you're screwed if they have a higher pocket pair, against anything else you're a slight favorite to win, and taking down one of their stacks would let you dominate the tournament but losing 2200 chips still leaves you with 3k and enough chips to work.

With that stack I am raising in the hi-jack with 77.
