You should have raised more before the flop. I know we all like to trap people and get a lot of money out of our AA, but the risk isn't worth losing the tournament. Making it something like 8000 to go here probably would have pushed him off his hand, and you could be happy about taking a 3.5 big blinds pot. If someone chooses to play, they know that you aren't going to let go of your hand easily and they'll have to pay through the nose to see it. Take the money and be happy.

Your re-raise pre-flop was too small. With AA, anything from 4800 to all-in would have been appropriate. Most players with 33 would fold to a large raise like that; but not all. Either way, you are still a big favorite and most times will win even if he calls.
