Heads up microthon

Recently I've bragged a bit about heads up marathons. In the third tournament I entered last night, I had nothing to brag about; I only lasted one heads up hand. I call that a heads up microthon :-) Here's how it went down:

Table '624883831 1' 6-max Seat #2 is the button
Seat 2: neostreet (1510 in chips)
Seat 4: (4490 in chips)
neostreet: posts small blind 75
Seat 4: posts big blind 150
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to neostreet [Ac 4h]
neostreet: raises 150 to 300
Seat 4: calls 150
*** FLOP *** [As 8h 2d]
Seat 4: checks
neostreet: bets 150
Seat 4: raises 3150 to 3300
neostreet: calls 1060 and is all-in
Uncalled bet (2090) returned to Seat 4
*** TURN *** [As 8h 2d] [6h]
*** RIVER *** [As 8h 2d 6h] [Jd]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Seat 4: shows [9c Ad] (a pair of Aces)
neostreet: shows [Ac 4h] (a pair of Aces - lower kicker)
Seat 4 collected 3020 from pot
neostreet finished the tournament in 2nd place and received 105000.00.
Seat 4 wins the tournament and receives 195000.00 - congratulations!

I have no regrets about calling to go all in, however. A pair of aces on the flop is a huge hand heads up.
