With 12 BB I think your play was fine not a whole lot you can do if someone shows you a better hand.

Tough one. I would assume the Enemy has the A2 right off the bat this late in the game. If I had a read that was the case, and if I was playing my best, I probably would probably just lay down. That said, late in a tourney, I don't play my very best and like to gamble. :-P In actuality, I probably would have called.
Best reason to fold? You'll still have more chips than the short stacks. They're going to get blinded out very quickly, and if it pays starting at 8th or below, you have a strong chance of moving up by folding.
