Thats what I thought. I should have gone all in preheads up I think it's OK to flat in position if you think he is stealing/3betting light.
But in a multiway pot where nobody has shown much strength (except the guy you suspect of not having a premium hand) I think the pot is now valuable enough to just take it down now by 4bet jamming. the 2 flatters will nearly always fold. You will often get called by the AK of the 3bettor....but that's an OK outcome with the dead money and when you figure that some of the players may be sharing outs.
I think his most likely range is something like 99-AA and AQ/AK and an occasional bluff. (10% of the time he's bluffing?) but even vs. that relatively tight range you still have 10% fold equity plus 51% equity when called so given the dead money it's fine. You gotta win flips in tourneys. Dead money plus fold equity just makes it an easier push, and therefore the ideal line, IMO.
