5k guarantee live NLH tournament

Top 12 got paid. We were down to 9 people at this time. Chip average about 100,000 and I have 250,000 for second in chips while chip leader has 350,000 and we have about 60% of the chips in play. I consider every player in to be weak. The chip leader is a loose bad aggressive player. Blinds 3000/6000/1000: Chip leader makes it 25k UTG+1; he did this same 4x raise earlier with aces but no other real history on his raise size. I have KK in the SB. I think the best play here is to shove. Thoughts? I think it's an ICM disaster to go broke in 9th with so many short stacks. I decide to call to trap as well as pot control. Pot size: 65k. FLOP: Js 8h 6s. I check, he bets 75k. I think for a minute, and jam my stack in there. I don't expect too many folds but I think hands like 99,TT,QQ, AJ, KQ, QQ, JJ, AA, and then QT, and decent flush draws. I don't expect too many folds but when he bets so big I take JJ out of his range so the only hand I can see myself beat here is by AA. I decide to shove, which I still think is the best play here. Thoughts? He ends up calling w/ Ts9s for a straight and flush draw and gets there on the river. I guess I didn't give him as wide of a range as he could have, but I think shoving gives me a big chance at winning. If i win that hand I'm basically guaranteed first place of 2k so I think trapping w/ the KK gave me the best chance for winning the tournament. I would love to hear other peoples thoughts on this.
