Ding ding ding! This was my thought as well (rafa being the primary threat). The other two are flatting 3bets & 4bets and are just dead money. It is because of this dead money that I decided to call, although I was doubting myself as I already had a very good stack and the tournament was deep & slow. Maybe should have found the fold and looked for a better spot. In conclusion:

Believe it or not, even at the micro level, I don't usually see such wild play, especially with no bounties. We've all seen the odds of QQ up against a range of AA/KK/AK (QQ approx a 40/60 underdog). I thought the dead money made the call worth it, plus there is a decent probability that the flatters would share outs (A or K) with rafa's AK. But then I thought, in a higher buy-in, I'm not sure if I would call. I guess that thinking goes back to bankroll management - play in tournaments where you can afford a rebuy while you can still get a deep starting stack, which I did.
Thanks for the thoughts.
