Not that I can imagine occurring in my lifetime.

Only case: (almost) everyone calls allin with >~5 people left and 2nd and 3rd pay a reasonably large fraction of 1st.

or Someone is guaranteed to be eliminated very soon in a supersatellite (such that all (relevant) money places pay the same).

There are rare cases in tournaments where it is certainly correct to fold AA.

Extreme example:
You are in a satellite where the top 5 finishers win a seat to a larger event. There are 6 people left, and 2 equal stacks larger than yours go all in. You should definitely muck your AA, since you are guaranteed to win a seat, barring a tie.
