I HATE Calling with AK to an all-in bet, especially when the BS is involved in the hand. gOOD FOLD.

My point here is really that calling here will generally be positive EV. Personally I do not like that degree of exposure to the luck of the draw and think I will get safer returns at future oppertunities so I stay clear but what I would stick to is that in these tourneys unless you have reads on the other two suggesting otherwise that calling will in fact be positve EV on a hand by hand basis. I would still fold myself and recommend folding here to anyone who is either a really good player or risk adverse and a fairly good player but (subject to reads) there is nothing wrong with calling here.

Very difficult hand there. I ran it through Poker Stove and it's very close based on the range I assigned the villains:

AhKc: = 28.370% equity

Villain 1 (initial raiser): QQ+, AQs+,AQo+ = 34.360% equity

Villain 2: TT+, AQs+, AQo+ = 37.270% equity

It's very close indeed. If this were closer to the bubble I'm jamming over the top and seeing all five cards so I have a big stack to abuse the bubble later on.

It was a difficult hand but are you being a little results orientated here with the King appearing?

Interesting hand.
