Final Pot: t6520

As I'm posting this, it seems like a relatively straight forwarded hand, and one that I probably should have been able to get away from, but at the time I just couldn't... I felt like he plays AK or a set slower because the board is pretty safe, and I find it hard to believe that he called an UTG raise out of position with something like A4,A8,K4,K8 (and definitely not 84).

FWIW, I don't have any specific read on the player, as I haven't really been involved in any big hands with him, and I haven't been paying attention to the table when not involved in a hand as much as I should... but I haven't seen anything too out of line from him.

Also FWIW, this is one of the stars $20+2 180 person SNGs.

Obviously I wouldn't be posting this hand if I won.... so, is the villan's hand obvious to everyone but me? And/or how can I get away from this in the future?
