So how did you bust out?

[PairTheBoard]

3 hours into the Tournament. 8500 chips. 50-100 blinds. 1 hour sleep the night before. Digesting sandwich eaten on first break. Raise to 400 with AK in early position. One caller behind me. Flop Q64 all hearts. I bet 600. He raises 2000. I can't remember if I have a heart. I double check the cards on the flop since I should have gotten a new pair of glasses before the Tournament. I'm pretty sure they are all hearts. I look at my hole cards and say to myself that if I don't have a heart it's an easy laydown. I have the Ace of hearts. Someone's hand reaches for my chips and plops them into the middle of the table while I hear myself say, "All in". My opponent asks for a count, the dealer says it's 5000 more to him, he thinks for a couple of beats and says, "oh hell I call", turning over AQ both spades. Turn and River bring no Heart no King.

As it turned out I was getting 1.28-1 odds on my 7500 chip push and I was a 1.28-1 dog on the draw. I'm not too unhappy with that. He didn't have me covered by much and could have folded to the raise - although I don't think there was much folding equity with his hand.
