Didn't play in the tourney, but with only 5x the bb in your stack, all in is correct with any pocket pair, any suited cards above 9, or any ace. It's the right move, provided that you are first in the pot. If there is a raise preflop, you reraise all in. The key is to try to isolate to 1 on 1. If there is a raise and a reraise before it gets to you, let it go and hope to find a better situation, soon. If your read is that one of the players has shown any weak hands, then go ahead and get your money in now. Take a stand while you can.
