re: The craziest/best poker call I've ever seen (270k pot)

I once played in a tournament and was the chip leader with about 30 people left. I think my stack was double anyone else and I'd played about 10 hours at this point. First prize was about $350k. I'm thinking that I have this - get dealt pocket AA - big blind - I'm feeling great. I bet small coming out - other dude goes all in. Pocket 99. a-hole catches a 9 and I lose a good chunk of my stack.

Next hand I get big slick - another player goes all in. I call. I caught nothing. I was out in the blink of an eye. AA then AK and boom - done.
