I would say AA. He only rereaised you a small amount because he did not want you to fold. He checked the flop and turn hoping you would bet so he could raise. Once he got to the river, he bet because you would not.

Either that or he had absolutely nothing and his bet on the river was a stone cold bluff.

Pocket Kings, and he let you see your ace for free on the river?

KK

He showed KK and I won the tournament. BTW can my opponent play his hand in any way that is worse? even folding before the flop would have been a better option.

Short answer no that is horrible play.

However, I've seen this (and even did it oece myself. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img])
He was trying to get you to bluff the pot and trap you with an All-In. But he wasn't watching the cards and forget that oh yea my opponent may very well have an ace.

but what makes you think this play is the #1 reason why PP SNGs are profitable?

[foldem]

ok ok. so that may be a bit of an overstatement. my point was just that when playing heads up for $100 many players make huge mistakes.
