raiser (button) isn't a regular.
on the one hand, I'm sure to be way ahead of his range with AK,
but on the other hand, I wonder whether it's profitable (=increasing my chances of finishing in the top 5) to be all-in in that spot with AK.

In this spot it`s fold for me. Of course after fold we are not in the best shape, because there is big stack sitting next to us, but Illich is very tight regular and won`t call us too loose, so depending on other players at the table, if their calling ranges are tight, it will be better to fold and push next hand yourself to steal blinds. With 1310 stack we are generating enough fold equity and we won`t be much shorter than other two players.
I would call with QQ+ in this spot, with AK we are only 65% ahead of any two push.

Thank you.
BTW I remember your name from the tables.
I guess I can say I'm pretty new at this DoN SNGs. my game is still not perfect at all but i'm making some very nice profits.
What is your average roi% at the 20.80$ DONs and for how much time are you playing them?

Please use one of these handconverters.

It´s also a fold to me because of the main reasons mentioned by IKSecret. QQ+ would also be my callingrange in this spot.

Ok this link results in an internal forum, but it makes no sense because you should be able to use this instructions.

So i will post you some links for handconverters manually:
