It's a 45man, normal speed on stars... first 7 players get ITM, here is the FT with only 5man left.

With ante adjusted you only have around 10 true big blinds. With shove you would put maximum pressure for your opponents. If you do raise normally better sizing would be to minraise or little bit over (e.g. 2500). But this hand is really really good for open shove!

As played I checked this with full version ICM explorer and got following results:

Equity needed: 44,83%
Chip odds: 35,18%
Risk premium: 9,65%

With hand like QJs you can expect to have around 40% equity. Bit more or less depending how wide we expect BB to shove. So because of risk aversion it should be folded. But honestly I would hate to fold it and thats why I would always open shove and not induce any sort of resteals. There is good chance that villain would have folded his weak Ax to shove. If not you still win quite often.
