Last night I played MTT on nordicbet.com. Somewhere around 8000 people were playing and we were on the begining of the tournament.
So what happened? There is the story.
Everyone starts with 1000$ in chips, after maybe 45 minutes of playing I had 2750$.
Here it comes.
I am on the button. Pre-flop comes A  9  , 4 people calls, I raise 300. All other folds and one guy calls my 300. So two of us left.
Flop comes A  A  2 . I am thinking.. "I have the winning hand, right? Trip aces with 9 kicker. But let me thing, I will try to take as much money as possible out of that guy". I check. He raises 500. I am thinking, my plan worked perfectly fine. I reraise his 500 with all-in raise, HE CALLS MY ALL-IN with A 8 ..
Turn card: K
River: 8
Eights full of Aces for him.. 
I couldn`t belilve what happened...
So I want few of you experts to tell me.. Did I play correctly my all-in raise or what?

First of all, what were the blinds?
Other than that, I can't see your move being in any way incorrect, as you probably can't put him on a bigger Ace since he did not raise pre-flop.
So you were just unlucky.

you played it just fine...he hit his 3 outter....it happens
as good as your hand seemed, keep in mind that your win chance is actually only 62%, tie 27% and he wins about 12% after the flop
