Another rant about rankings & a few hands

Tmay420 who use to be the #1 online ranked player in the world ends up at my table and we are both the big stacks in the early goings of a tournament. So I raise AK to 775 and he 3 bets me to 2150. We both are like 14K deep, so I elect to just call in position. Flop comes down 10 10 6 or something raggy, he bets 2100 and I elect to just call to see if I can get to showdown cheap. turn 7 check check, river 2 which is a total brick and now he bets 6000???? I really though I was good here with Ace King high, so I called and he had K10????? Nice luckbox flop. So I blew a huge stack of chips on a hand I should have just 4 bet him all in preflop. I was chip leader in the 55K on FT for the first 2 hours of the tournament and ended up bubbling AK vs. KK obv. Thanks for that awesome set up hand. Cash games were pretty dumb. Couldn't get anything together. I played some 5/10 on stars and this was the biggest hand of the night:

I was at a really good table, but once the fish left, I left. In this hand we got it all in on the flop and he had A4. Nice to have a hand hold for a change.
