$2.25 NL HE STT: Did I make the right play on the bubble?

Read on villian was LAG. How could I lay this down? Should I have called, and folded if an ace came? My reasoning was going for a chip lead going to HU.

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, 2.25 Tournament, 50/100 Blinds (4 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Not sure why it didn't show villain's hand, but it was AJs.

I just shove once villain raises to 750 - by four-betting to 2400 we're committing ourselves anyway. Flatting his bet or four-betting less than all in and giving him the chance to flat just makes for difficult flop decisions in a bloated pot if an ace comes.

We're risking a 70:30 and bubbling against an Ax hand if we get called but given the commanding position we'll be in if we double through, plus the fact that villain will be folding a decent amount of the time, I'm probably OK with the risk.
