a frustrating exit

I was playing in this tourney and seemed to have very few playable hands and when i did they were AA. After much of the time where noone was betting before the flop, things got a little livlier.PokerStars Game

this is a 20$ MTT with 123 or so in it there were about 5 players with 20K or so and 10K would probably get you in the top 18 - 24/25 players left in.

This guy had been bullying players (not me) and catching pretty lucky beats. Otherwise he was quite good but He wouldnt have just called preflop with AA (or kq for that matter). Otherwise I might not have got involved post flop.

Anyway quite frustrating as have kind of got to where i am in the tourney without needing to catch anything (only AA v A7s preflop and AA v a paired 2 (otherwise garbage) on the flop. Still not all that bad a beat (6/45 *40/44) + (35/45 * 6/44) more or less 87.3% favourite - I have had many worse - just not usually ones that could have cost me that much 1st prize 1800$ (ok i stilll had 20 players to overcome to get there but this would have put me in contention again.
