Her PF tree must be massive.
The whole of the action isn't described, but given his stack size I think it is reasonable to assume that he 3 bet to 16.5K rather than flatted someone else's 3 bet. If this is the case then the 4 bet squeeze with ATo is repping a very strong range and shouldn't have too many bluffs or blocker hands in it.
If the game flow above is correct then I think ATo is a clear fold when he shoves as his range has to be very strong and JJ is probably at or very near to the bottom of his range for him to think that he is ahead of her 4 bet range.
On the other hand, if he flatted someone else's 3 bet then her squeeze with ATo makes more sense and then when he 5 bet shoves he does have some KQs, weaker aces and small to medium pairs in his range which he perceives to be flipping with her or in the case of weaker aces that could get her off AT and AJ.
So if she 4 bet squeezed his 3 bet flat then calling off his shove with ATo is not really that bad, excepting perhaps that it is only a small +EV chip gain weighed up against his whole 3 bet flatting range and she is risking her compound edge for the rest of the comp that she could keep hold of by passing and retaining a playable stack.
So it would be interesting to know if she range against range 4 bet his 3 bet flat, which is probably okay, or if she 4 bet his 3 bet, which given his stack size in my opinion I think is not a great play, particularly given her image of playing an aggressive game.
Edit: hand details say she was Hijack and him Cut off, and mid pos was in the pot too, so almost certain he 3 bet her, she 4 bet and he shoved. This makes her 4 bet not a great play IMO. Then calling off with ATo is not great either but maybe she could justify doing it in what she perceived to be a leveling war with him and also because apart from him having exactly AA she still has 30% equity and sometimes you just have to gambol.
The Twitter spat between her and Mike Dentale is entertaining but at the same time I think both people should call a truce on the verbals and just settle it on the table, because the verbals have now become disproportionate to the situation. It is only a game of cards after all.
