WSOP ME Day 2: Middle Set vs huge shove

I played this hand in the WSOP ME couple of years ago. It was day 2 and at the start of the day I had a good stack of more than 100bbs. When I looked at my table draw the only guy I recognized was Cole South (CTS) about 3 seats to my left and he was the table chip leader. As soon as I got the table he started talking to me a lot of questions about the clothing I was wearing because I won the WSOP seat online so he probably figured out I was an online player.

My general strategy was to avoid him for obvious reasons. So I am playing fairly tight and during 4 hours of play I opened in middle position and CTS 3-bet me 3 times on the BT and I folded all of them my middle strenth hands. In the mean time I managed to build a big stack and became the chip leader at the table with 137BBs.

UTG which was the other villain in the hand was probably a pro as well by his bet sizing and he was playing fairly straight forward more to the tight side.

Blinds 300/600 ante 50. 9 handed

UTG (45k) opens for 1.5k.
I call 9h9d in middle position with 92k.
CTS on the BT 3bets to 5k with 75k behind.
UTG calls.
I call.

Flop: Ah9s2h (16k)
UTG insta checks.
I insta check.
CTS insta checks.

Turn: 4h.
UTG fires 10k into 16k pot.
I think for a minute and call.
CTS insta goes allin for 75k.
UTG insta calls.
Hero: ????
