$5 2R1A, QQ facing river bluffcatching decision

Blinds: t250/t500 (9 Players) BN: 19,062
SB: 11,478
BB: 16,292
UTG: 21,229 (Hero)
UTG+1: 5,394
MP: 13,852
MP+1: 24,087
MP+2: 7,026
CO: 16,535
Only 5 hands on villain, no real info. Assume they're a complete random.
Preflop (750) Hero is UTG with Q Q
Hero raises to 1,125, 6 folds, SB calls 875, BB folds
Imagine villains in these tourneys are going flat ranges that are too pair-heavy and too ace-heavy, and just generally too wide. I feel comfortable that there are no traps in there as well.
Flop (3,290) T K 3
SB checks, Hero checks
Think checking here is reasonably straightforward, tough to get value from much when we block heart draws and straight draws. Planning to call at least one future street.
Turn (3,290) T K 3 4
SB bets 3,290, Hero calls 3,290
Alarm bells are kinda ringing here since we block so many of his bluffs but I also feel like since QQ is pretty much the top of our range it's super tough to just instantly fold. I think call and re-evaluate is okay.
River (9,870) T K 3 4 5
SB bets 7,003 and is all in, Hero folds
Here's where I kinda throw up...he's got so few QJ or heart combos to do this with now, but I also block his KQ. I feel awkward folding the top of my range in a spot where I don't know much about villain but I don't feel like I have much of a choice here. Anyone have any other thoughts? I think I might call with QQ that didn't have the Qh.
Final Pot SB wins 9,870

Thoughts welcome!
