A Negreanu Hand

[Chief911]

From early in the Legends tourney (Taken from his blog):

I raised to 150 with AK diamonds and got called by a player behind me that I'd never seen before (big surprise).

The flop came A-K-8 rainbow and I fired out 250. My opponent called and I planned on value betting the hand through feeling like he had A-Q or something like that- he called.

The turn card came a Q and I bet 700. My opponent raised me to 1700 and I thought about re-raising again. I had him on A-Q, but he could easily have had 10-J or 8-8. It was so early in the tournament that I didn't think it made sense to gamble with the hand at such a good table so I called.

The river came nothing and I checked, hoping to check and call a nice bet. My opponent bet 1500 and I quickly called.

Thoughts on how you would play this hand in a WPT event vs. an unknown?
