Crazy Hand from Final Table of WSOP Pot Limit

[Scooterdoo]

I ran into Lane today during a break in the $2.5 NL short-handed tournament and asked him about the thought process for this quick call with AT into the QTx flop. He said that because the opponent pushed so quickly he knew that he had AK. He felt that if the other guy had AA, KK, QQ he would never have pushed and if he had JJ, QJ or KQ he either would have thought more about it or the preflop action didn't make sense. In summary he knew the guy had AK based on the preflop raise and the lightning quick push.
