It doesn't matter his raise size.

He has 8bb and you have TT..

^ Yep. Sometimes people raise here (instead of shoving) because they want to appear stronger than they are, sometimes they have AA, sometimes they're just dumb, and very, very rarely they fold and we all share a laugh.

shove it; even if you lose you have 7bb left and you are on the button next

5k bb should be ITM so it's time to go for the Chips

Guy with a 9 pfr makes an unusual 3x raise off an 8bb stack. That's AA/KK like, what, 98% of the time? You can't just ignore potential tells because people do stupid stuff.

If I had 30bb I would happily isolate but potentially dropping to 7bb at this stage is not worth the potential gain. Keeping my 15bb and using my full shove/reshove fold equity is huge.

You cannot fold tens to a 8bb shove, or a 3bb raise on a 8bb stack. Do not be freaked out about the PFR, the sample size of 60+ hands is way to little to be making soul read folds with premium pairs.
