Ten-handed it is 20-1 against villain having AA so without a Hellmuthian read, you have to call.

somebody is going to have to explain the 20-1 against aces thing in this spot

The odds that any player has any pocket pair is 17:1. The odds of someone specifically having AA is (17 x 13) = 221:1. Divide that by ten players at a full-ring table, and the odds that one specific individual has AA is 22.1:1.
(Actually, you'd probably be more correct to divide by nine, since you know that YOU don't have AA. In that case, the odds would be 24.5:1.)
