Well I wasn't in this hand but it was still one of those crazy hands. I was at a home game, it was at about 7 handed. Im dealer and the guy in first position bets triple the big blind and then a crazy player who you never know what he has goes all in over the top. My friend to the right of me looks down at queens and reraises all in (only for a few dollars more so a call was pretty much all in) and then the guy who raised initally calls. As soon as the initial raiser called my friend knew he was beat. Turns out 1st position had aces, the crazy kid had kings.
AA vs KK vs QQ...flop, turn, river solve nothing and AA triples up.

Recently had a hand in a 30 player sit-n-go on Bet333 poker that was similar - but great for me. I was dealt AA on the button. Early position player raises 3x BB, next player a short stack goes all-in, next player after him (had him covered) and went all-in, gets over to me and I of course call. 3x BB raiser folds. Short-stack shows AK, second player shows KK, I flip over my AA and nearly triple up, knocking out two players (giving me 5x the chips of my nearest opponent). This was a great hand - easily one of the best situations for AA I have ever seen!

Indeed, although an even better situation would have been AA against KK and KK

I was playing 2-5 NL at a local casino last weekend, and raised about $30 preflop with AA, guy next to me goes to $100, and another guy calls. I go all in for about $350 total, and both call. Flop is A88, and guy next to me bets all in, 3rd player folds. Guy who bet turns over KK. Turn is another K, but river a blank, so I take down $1200 pot.
Speaking of home games though, I had one hand in one where I had AA, and two brothers sitting to my right raise and reraise before I even can act. I raise and both go all in...KK and AK. Ended up winning big that night. :D

Last night I saw a big 3-way pot ($22 at a .50/1 table) get split between two guys, each with AA.

Best hand i ever saw. Guy raises preflop and gets three callers. Flop comes down 8,9,k. Fisrt caller goes all in, next caller goes all in, original raiser goes all in, and third caller goes all in. They turn up there cards, 1st guy shows 88 for set. 2nd shows 99 for set. Orignal raiser shows KK for set, and the fourht guy had a straight draw. Set of kings winds up taking the pot.

Biggest pot I ever won playing live was similar, but even better. I had AA, another guy had KK, and still a third guy had QQ. Betting caps preflop (this is $2/$2/$2/$2 limit--don't ask about the wacko structure--I think that the venue likes the larger rake).
Flop is no sh**t A-K-Q rainbow. Turn and river were blanks and betting capped on all four betting rounds.

This hand occurred in a live MTT at a friend's house. UTG raises 3XBB, MP reraises all-in ~double the original bet, I'm on the button and look down to see Rockets! Nice! I reraise putting original bettor all-in. He thinks about it for a second, looks at me and says "I hope you don't hit either of your overs." and calls. They both flip up JJ. As if they weren't already deflated when they saw my aces, I hit quads on that hand, just to put a little salt in their wounds. I felt a little sorry for MP as he'd taken 3 tough beats to take him from chip leader to short stack in that round. My remorse didn't last long when I realized I was now chip leader.
Another crazy hand in a home cash game came when Sir Betsalot pushed preflop and got 3 callers. Flop came out 2 9 J. Player 1 bets pot, Player 2 pushes and Player 3 (big stack) and Player 1 call. Turn K. Player 1 pushes and Player 3 calls. The cards are revealed.
Player 1-99
Player 2-JJ
Player 3-KK
Crazy bettor-22.
River.......2 
The neighbors came by after that hand and asked us to keep the noise down.

Had something similar happen in another MTT too that went set, over set, over set to quads on the river taking down the whole hand. Everyone was in preflop. The noise on the flop, turn and river went from "Wow!" to "No WAY!" to "UNBELIEVABLE!!" The guy who got his aces cracked was not a happy camper.

Hey , that reminds me of al old and forgotten casino hand for me. I forgot how the action played out , but i had AA , another guy had AA , and some random guy has 33. All of us end up getting all in preflop , happily i flip over my AA , only to see a confused look on the other guys face as he flips over AA , and the third guy witha grimmace look on his face , flips over 33.
flop , you guessed it , 3 x x turn: x river: x
