Fold. At best, you're a coinflip to overcards, at worst, he has a higher pair and has you totally dominated. Calling big all ins with smaller pairs is nearly always incorrect for this exact reason. Save your money for a better spot.

No brainer...I fold without thinking. I know it may seem more complicated because you are still in the rebuy period. But, I view your rebuy as more of an "add-on" at this point. As the chip leader at my table, I wouldn't sacrifice most of my hard work to get there on what is at best a coinflip hand (two overcards) and at worst a totally dominated hand.

You have to fold there. Why risk almost all your stack on a probable coin-flip? You'll have lots of time find a better position.
