Bustout hand in 11R....

[tiger7210]

I know a lot of you saw the hand so I just wanted your opinion.

BB 15000/30000

Villain ~700K
Hero ~290K after posting BB

Villain opens for 60K folds to me in the BB
Hero has AA's

Is this the right time to smooth call and slow play AA's or do you take the pot here.

My 1st instict was I can double up right here if he catches any piece of the flop. I'm not really concerned that I took the bad beat but my question is at this point in the tourny with 23 people left and sitting in 10th is it the right play.

Shoe preflop, late in stars tournaments people start to call all ins with anything(QK, Ax, etc). Since you are on the short stack he will probably call your all in with almost anything.

I would push here, simply because I would be playing lots of hands very aggressively so he likely wouldn't give me credit for a hand.
