I mean justice prevails in this one with the highest pair winning the pot(s), but what the freaking hell were these guys thinking?

The pain of No Limit…
Did a 24-hour session yesterday, and ended up winning under $100. It’s quite a frustrating feeling, especially when you know I was up about $1600 after like 22 hours of play.
The last hour was a typical no-limit wreck…. Two sets got all-in called on the turn and beat by flushes, had top two against bottom set — and made a queen high-flush on the flop with QJ just to see A4os beat my when he called my +pot-sized bet on the flop with nothing but the ace of hearts…
Anyway, the perfect hand to show what happened:
I picked up AKs on the button. 6 players limped (lol), so I decided to raise big — making it 15 Big Blinds. Two players call. The flop gives me a pair of kings AND the nut flush draw — talk about a dream flop. Player in seat one bets, second one in calls, I decide to raise 3x. S1 calls, S2 folds.
The turn makes my nut flush. Player in 1 bets right out again and I shove for about 2 pots more. Villain instacalls with two pair. River makes him his boat and I double him up.
