B&M casino, 6 handed tourney, starting stack 10k, my stack t14,400.

It's the 2nd level, blinds 75/150. Levels are 60 minutes.

Preflop:

I am in the SB with AQo.
Villian in UTG+1 raises to 450.
It's folded to me.
I call (how do you like that?)
BB folds.
Pot is 1,150.

Flop:

Comes QQ3cc.
I check (slow playing even with the two clubs out there - opinions??)

Turn:

Comes 8 (non-club).
I bet out 1k.
Villian reluctantly calls.

River:

Comes 7 (non-club).

What to do?

I like the call preflop, I like the check flop. If he bets the flop I would probably call then donk the turn. As played, I like the turn bet since obviously you need to start getting value from your hand. On the river i'd bet 3000 and think and think and think if he shoves and try and soul read but probably end up folding

All makes sense except I'm wondering about the fold on the end to a shove. The only hands that beat me are full houses: pocket 3s 7s 8s or Q3 Q7 Q8. The Q3 Q7 and Q8 are all bar impossible (I know where three of the four Queens are and this guy did raise pf). Seems unlikely villian would raise in EP with 3s, would he do it with 7s or 8s?

A river shove to me says this guy is slow playing KQ or AQ. I'd be tempted to call his shove and prepare for a fistpump if he flips KQ.

Thoughts?
