Well done making it to the money but I personally don't like the play with AA... slowplaying AA all the way to the river is a recipe for disaster and I've never understood the slowplay when sitting on a shortstack. I don't see you folding if he happens to hit the 10 so in a nutshell your chips were all going in the pot regardless on this hand.

If you shove preflop you are more than likely getting called (his UTG raise on a full table assumes a big hand and you are reletively shortstacked, a coinflip here is pretty much standard policy). If he calls and beats you, so be it... thats the luck of the game. But in the example above, you allowed him to see the entire board before making a decision for all of your chips... if two overcards to his 10s hit the board you probably aren't getting paid off, even in this hand it was a borderline call.

Point is, you are probably getting a call preflop but a fold isn't exactly terrible (adding 40% to your stack with no risk is normally a good thing). You more than likely aren't going to end up folding your hand if he manages to take the lead but in slowplaying you give him extra opportunities to fold in addition to allowing him to hit his set for free. If he hits you are paying him off... if he doesn't then his hand isn't exactly a difficult fold.
