It didn't matter when the chips got to the middle, they were destined to end up in stack. You could have got them in while you were ahead, but you got them in when you were dead. Doesn't really matter in the end I would say.
You can't know that your opponents would have a set there. I'd physically laugh my ass off If someone told me he had AA prior to the results being revealed.

I guess I wasn't very clear in explaining. My opinion is that you should bet to get the money in while you are ahead. A half pot bet will get money in. Even without a set already made, there are a lot of hands that are going to pay a half pot bet or even a 3/4 pot bet (ie AK, AQ, AJ).
If he got called or raised, then he could just go all-in on the turn and not have to worry about being sucked out by slow playing the nuts.
In this case though, the set of Aces would probably call the all-in and win anyway by filling the boat on the river.
