Default Interesting observed 25-50 nl UB hand

This was a hand I observed at 25-50 at UB.
Kinda foggy details but it think i got the gist of it.
Relevant details :-
Mahatma BB with ~$7800
BigSlick769(i think) CO with ~$11000
Preflop
Bigslick raises to $125,folded to Mahatma who calls
Flop is 10 6 2r
Checked around.
Turn is another 2.
BigSlick bets $300
Mahatma calls.
River is Queen(no flush)
Mahatma Goes all-in
Bigslick calls.
Thoughts?

Either a) Mahatma wants a call, or b) he doesn't, and my guess from watching him play is a).

Is there a third option?
Mahatma has AA
Bigslick has 4s2s
BS wins!
This is one of the weirdest hands I've ever seen, insanely passive until the river with AA, then a massive overbet!
Also the preflop raise with 4s2s is hilarious, even more hilarious is the call with AA.
I cannot see any logic to this play, other than Mahatma putting Bigslick on KK or JJ or sometin like that.

Or AQ or AK (hoping for an A hi call w/that). Despite the actual results the answer was a). This is the type of move he makes to gut people, usually with success.

They must have some excellent reads on each other to make such plays.

I think he is missing a lot of details here, I am going to try to find the hand if I have it saved anywhere on my computer

I rarely watch this game so I am relying mostly on previous hands that I've seen posted here to form an opinion...

Since Mahatma is known to make this exact type of bet with absolutely nothing, he's hoping to get called by weaker pairs. The board is actually very safe for him: He cannot lose to any straights, flushes, or two pair hands. All he has to worry about are hands with a deuce, and full houses.

Due to the nature of the board and the action in the hand so far, Mahatma probably felt it was very likely that his hand was good, and he believed that he would win at least half of the times that he got called.
