I would almost always reraise with AK as well - especially in position. BUT, I think Dan played this hand correct for a few reasons:

1) Sammy was under the gun and MOST of the time that raise needs to be given a lot of respect.

2) It was Sammy... Not that Dan should be afraid of Sammy, but Sammy is a loose player who will call a reraise with A LOT of hands - making him dangerous. Therefore, if Dan were to miss his AK and Sammy figured it out, then Dan would have lost a lot more chips.

3) If he hit his King - he might extract more chips from Sammy. Sammy might not put Dan on AK because he only called. (the Ace is more of a scare card because Dan could just call with a holding like AJ or A10)
