This. First live tournament I ever played while on vacation, after playing online for a couple years (with no live cardrooms anywhere near where I live), I was in top 3 in chips nearing the bubble. Got moved to a new table to the left of chip leader, and 2 or 3 hands in I got dealt AA. Chip leader to my right opens, I 3bet, SS to my left shoves over, chip leader snap calls, and of course I shove over. Chip leader snaps again, turns over JJ and the SS turns over KK and proceeds to cuss up a storm. Of course, J in the door to bust us both. I've had probably thousands of similar or worse beats online (and really, AA losing 3-way isn't so much a beat as a cooler), and I don't remember any of them as vividly as I remember that one, lol.
