So Close

This hand came up in a 180 man $4.40 MTT. 20 people left. I played the hand well, and have been playing the tournament well. Like Don, the inevitable bad beat late in the tournament ensued. I suppose I was wrong for betting the remainder of the opponent's chips on the turn, but I was sure I had the best hand both pre and on the flop. How he can smooth call out of position with just ace high, for half is stack, is beyond me.
