In most situations I wouldn't lay down AK pre-flop. In this one, with a comfort cruise to at least 2nd place, I'd have put you on a small-medium pair, and wouldn't want a coin-flip.
It's a tough fold, and impossible unless you really think about it. But I would do it.

If you were one of the small stacks, easy call.

Even if I put myself on any 2 cards I am still folding it.
