$.50 NLHE MTT: Another AK Spot

I don't think there is much I could have done here - just want to see what others might think about the hand. I am posting quite a few hands for reviews and this is one of them.

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.3 BB) Hero has K:diamond: A:heart:

fold, fold, MP raises to 2 BB, fold, Hero raises to 5.33 BB, fold, fold, BB calls 4.33 BB, MP calls 3.33 BB

Flop: (17.3 BB, 3 players) 5:club: 4:club: A:diamond:
BB checks, MP checks, Hero bets 8 BB, fold, MP raises to 16 BB, Hero calls 6.62 BB and is all-in

Turn: (46.53 BB, 2 players) 9:heart:

River: (46.53 BB, 2 players) 6:diamond:

MP shows 5:spade: 5:diamond: (Three of a Kind, Fives)
(Pre 55%, Flop 98%, Turn 100%)
Hero shows K:diamond: A:heart: (One Pair, Aces)
(Pre 45%, Flop 2%, Turn 0%)
MP wins 46.53 BB

with AK and 20bb I would shove here to get rid of some Cards like 22-77.
or at least go for a bigger 3bet to 8-10bb and jam any flop where V could not flop a str8 or flush.

it's a good flop for AK and he could reraise us with a weaker ace or a fd
folding AK because you put him on a set is almost impossible
