$4.40 NL HE Turbo: Final table AK facing 3 bet

Villian Stats (VPIP/PFR/AF): 26/22/4.5

Final table of a rush tournament. A few hands earlier I had seen this guy 4 bet shove AKo pre flop against a 30k stack. He was fairly aggressive and one of the better players on the table.

Do we 4 bet to something like 18k here and fold to a shove? Or just 4 bet shove ourselves? The problem I have here is that we are still very deep and I'm not sure I want to stack off pre flop with AK against one of the better players on the table. I know I wont exactly be crippled but I wont be sitting really comfortably like I am now...

i'm personally doing either:

1. calling his re-raise, if the flop works for me great! if not then its an easy fold and you still have plenty of chips behind you

2. shoving over the top of his re-raise, get your chips in first, dont give him any option to re-raise, make him make a tough call or fold to your show of strength.

i don't like the raise to 18k as if he does have a pocket pair (i assume he does) then his aggression you described says he's shoving over top and you may have to fold, losing more chips then you needed to

I think a call is ok here to see where you are at and if he has a pair you can see if you can hit higher pr you are in trouble vs KK or AA
