1. The correct way to play top pair with a straight draw is NOT TO OVERBET the pot by a factor of 4. A pot sized bet should be enough to get the player to fold if they are going to. If they don't, you know that you are up against something (against most players) or at least some kind of draw to something better than what you hold. If you bet the pot, you can check the king and get away if you need too. The hand would make sense at that point, called pot sized bet with ace king...loose, but fits.

2. As to how does someone call this: First off an overbet means one of two things, either you have the nuts, or you have nothing at all (in most cases). If he doesn't believe you have the straight, which you didn't, then calling makes sense. He may have you beat, and if he doesn't he has a draw.
Second, you have to think about how your bet appears. Its donkish, leaves you no outs and is not necessary in that spot.

Check/calling preflop, and then overbetting the flop, smells like a steal to me. And top pair with a 10 kicker and a straight draw is not massive overbet material in my book.

Instead of screaming about how the "bad" player got lucky on you, you should be thinking about why in the name of God you decided to fire both barrells with that ammo in them.

Theres a bigger problem here trapped. And a friendly word of advice, it doesn't sound like you are ready to play 168 dollar buyin tourneys. This is really easy to see, bad bet, bad call.
