Also looking back I can see how you say "yeah I only get called by the one better hand" but jeesh man it's a tough one..

I didn't say fold. That is no option. The poor play is RERAISING the second nuts, and doing so for (given the stage of the tournament) was an amount that made no sense. He committed suicide via a negative expectation bet.
(If he went allin for $100 more, okay fine, that would be different, but even $500 more would have been foolish -- especially since he was clearly being milked... the opponent raised 8500, so we have to presume the AA guy didn't have 9000; more likely he had at least 15k or so when faced with an 8500 bet.)
-- another point, if his hand was AQ, the reraise would have been far more sensible.
