I felt like throwing up. I got stuck, the only thing to do here that I can see is push. Preflop I think I should have called, for pot odds, I didnt havea read and late in a tourney thats super sneaky. But on the flop, I had to push or check/fold. If its KK, and I play it weak, he will win the pot because I cant risk it being AA, if its AA then Im screwed. This is a HUGE laydown to make, but without reads I dont get how I can lay it down. Hands he could have had AA, KK, QQ, and a slim chance of AK. I win vs 3 of those hands on the flop. What do you guys think?

btw, thanks to iwa for helping me towards the end.

(I didnt really wait to listen to his advice on this hand, )

Yeah; sucks that you ran into a set there, much less a set of aces. I think you did the right thing. The potw as so incredibly huge as to be tourney altering at that point; you had top pair, top kicker. There can be almost no way you escape this hand. By the time you can figure out he has a set, most of your stack's in there and you have to call the rest of your stack just because yoru stack will be so small in relation to the pot that your pot odds on calling would be right.
And pushing all in here makes it look like a slightly weak play, so somebody might call with middle pair or top pair, weaker kicker.
Good play, I think, especially with creeping blinds.
