It seemed the right play, you'll tell me otherwise
Swinebag:
1. I dont like the open raise, but its not the worst play. At this stage of the tourney with the ratio of ante : SB being 1:5, it is worth raising with speculative hands to pick up the blinds and antes
2. Do not like your reraise here. You are pretty much committing yourself to the hand and AQo plays poorly v most UTG raisers ranges. I"d like to think I"d fold pre here but if I"m being honest, I"d call and see a flop.
3. Dont like his call here. Calling commits both of you to the hand and he needs to hit a miracle flop to win the hand most of the time. The 2.5 to 1 odds thing shouldn"t realy come into it as he"s really playing for all his chips. I"d write in my notes that this guy overplays marginals.
4. As played you cant get away from this. He just got lucky.
But in the long run you are a winner as he will now be convinced that ATs UTG is the nuts and will continue to overplay marginals. Whereas you, Leigh, will learn fom this hand and continue to pwn pokerstars tourneys

The only non standard part of this hand is the villains call of your 3bet.
