A kicker to the head

The most memorable hand of last night's session was the one which put my stack on life support in the first tournament I played. I'd been dealt AQo (ace queen offsuit), and the flop came 2c As Kd. I bet it big, and an opponent I had covered went all in. I called, and immediately saw the bad news - my opponent's holding was AKo (ace king offsuit). I was a 1.92% dog. When the nine of spades came on the turn, I was officially drawing dead. I lost 5,000 chips on the hand, and had just 1,810 behind.

This bad luck made me curious about how many times in my MTT-R NLHE career I've had AQo or AQs and lost to an opponent who had AKo or AKs. I just ran the numbers; the answer is 21. This last one hurt the most.
