nearing final table bubble, JJ on button

888 Poker - $20+$2|1000/2000 NL - Holdem - 7 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4: http://www.pokertracker.com

SB: 59,184
BB: 35,572
UTG: 45,007
UTG+1: 41,257
MP: 46,696
CO: 93,516
Hero (BTN): 45,882

7 players post ante of 200, SB posts SB 1,000, BB posts BB 2,000

Pre Flop: (pot: 4,400) Hero has Jd Jc

UTG raises to 4,999, fold, fold, CO raises to 11,998, fold, fold, fold, UTG raises to 44,807, CO calls 32,809

Flop: (94,014, 2 players) 7h 9h Qh

Turn: (94,014, 2 players) 8c

River: (94,014, 2 players) Js

UTG shows Kd Ah (High Card, Ace) (Pre 69%, Flop 44%, Turn 25%)
CO shows Qs As (One Pair, Queens) (Pre 31%, Flop 56%, Turn 75%)
CO wins 94,014


The hand above was an interesting spot just short of the final table bubble, where I ended up folding JJ pre to a UTG raise and a CO 3b.

I would appreciate any thoughts on what you think is the optimum play here considering we are nearing the FT - UTG had been playing 20/9 and CO 22/18 3b 12%

I felt with 23bb I could look for a better spot, since my only move here is shove I am putting my tournament life at risk should either of them call. Or should I be embracing the variance and going for the win?

thanks
