Pre-flop calling out of position is close against a short stack out of position. I would still fold here.
As played I think it’s not a bad board to lead to protect our hand and if someone is raising/shoving we can still fold, because there is a decent change that both villains will check this wet flop.

As played I would bet at least 5k the turn and put the MP2 all-inn on a blank river card.

Cheers,
