Jacks are tough- live game advice

Hi guys, opinion on this spot.

£30 buy in tournament, live.

Blinds are 1500/3000 ante 400- 9 handed table pot 8100 to start

Hero UTG+ 2 playing 160k, playing very TAG game as there are a lot of calling stations.

UTG is a slightly weak passive fish playing mostly card strength, and has open limped a lot of hands. We've seen him overvalue many hands like Ace rag and will call raises OOP pre with weak hands.

Button is an unknown.

Average stack at this point is around 58k, 92 left in tournament, no where near the money.

UTG min raises to 6k (playing 119k)

UTG + 1 folds

Hero- UTG + 2 looks down at jacks (playing 160k) and raises to 25k (purposely larger than I would at a stronger standard table)
Folds around to Button who shoves for 65k - he's an unkown who has just moved to our table.

Folds around to UTG who reshoves for 88k more (113k shove).

Hero calls 88k into the pot of 217,100. So i think i need 28% equity here, please clarify? Unfortunately my main laptop isn't working so can't plug this into flopzilla, can anyone see how I am doing against the following ranges, and challenge these range assumptions?

UTG could have AJo, A10suited+, 66+ (seen a lot of shoving small pairs on this table but can't remember if he's been doing it)

Button is fairly short and i think he's shoving wide- 22+, AJ+, KJs+ KQo.

My concluding thought that i did not consider at the time, is we block out a lot of key hands we're crushing like AJ, KJ which leaves more value in their range maybe.

Any other thoughts would be really appreciated!!
