First of all I have moved your hand to the hand discussion board, because its fits better there.
For next time it’s also smart to remove or put the outcome of the hand in a spoiler, because this could influence the feedback what you get.

You could consider making a 3bet bluff against the UTG player, but normal I would play the hand the same way what you did. Off course I newer player on this kind of stakes. So it would be nice if an experience mid stake MTT player would give feedback as well.

Cheers,

Looks standard; it's perhaps a call with bounties if we know he can shove that wide but maybe that's a tad thin.

I am not playing at this kind of stakes, but also would play the hand same way. No need to stack vs 2 players, one of which has almost the same stack as us, with this kind of hand. You have a good stack and for sure would find a better situation to take someones bounty.

I like the call w 88 this "deep" vs UTG. After all the action pre it seems to be a clear fold to me.
Well played, ShamHiggins.
