Interesting Spot at Final Table Bubble with TT

I am sorry if the HH doesn't look the best, I tried to use the site's converter and kept getting "invalid hand." Anyways, this spot came up while I was streaming the other day. I only say that because it means that I immediately got very mixed feedback from the hand. Pretty much everything from great fold to you are an idiot (they might have said it in a nicer way). To me this seemed like a tough, but clear fold. This hand was in the $22 Bounty Builder and I was pretty much tied for 8th out of 10. The guy in 10th at the other table had just lost a big pot and was down to 2 big blinds. The UTG player had been turning up his aggression quit a bit as we got to the final table bubble. Given that we had all pretty much made it, with the guy with only 2 big blinds left to get through, I don't see much reason for the BTN to want to play a big pot with the UTG unless he has a huge hand. With his 3bet size it seemed to me that he was trying to induce action in a spot where he shouldn't really want to risk his stack very often. Also, there was still the BB left to act who had been going pretty crazy as well. What do you guys think?
