Define "maxed it." I hope you didn't go all-in here as that wouldn't have been wise. You have the bb covered, but both of you have enough left that there is no reason to go crazy with either hand here.

Shove is 100% standard BvB with hero's hand, and completely unexploitable (villain cannot choose a range to call with that will prevent hero's shove from being +$EV). Also, hero's shove is +$EV enough for every villain range, that it would take an extremely exploitable villain for something other than a shove to really be better.
Villain's call is wrong, given that the stack setup is correct, for any range hero shoves.

Could he honestly believe he was ahead, or even NOT dominated? f*** that guy.
Also, I managed to work my way back to contention, and ended up losing when I had the on a 4 club board, and my opponent held the . I'm not sure how much of my ominous feeling had to do with paranoia, but I thought he had it too. Unbelievable.
