Come donk with me in a huge pot

Well, I have no clue what was going on here. Huge pot, giant pot, how's my line? I raised on the flop to try and somehow protect my hand. Now, I realize that I'm not protecting it in the truest sense of the word, as a gutshot or any smaller pair would still have odds to draw, but at least it gives them a chance to fold incorrectly, although none of them were dumb enough to. What I'm really interested in is the river; I'm beating something like AA, but losing to a better K or something like TT. Of course, I figured that any reasonable hand I'm beating except for a draw is calling this bet just because of how huge the pot is. The main villian in this hand is something like 15/7/2.5 over several thousand hands.

I play this exactly the same and expect button to show me AK.

Id check-call the river.

The results:
I was drawing dead on the river as the button had AK and MP2 had QJ (the converter shows him as folded, but in reality he disconnected on the river and went to showdown). In hindsight, check calling the river probably was the best play.
