You probably just ran into a SNG ringer. This is my standard play with AA/KK facing an EP raise.
AKs is not a hand to call an all in with in the beginning of a SNG.
AKs at these blinds is a very speculative drawing hand. You really want to play this in a multiway pot at these blinds. I'd recommend you limp, and if you hit TP you go all in on the flop as fast as possible. Then count the maniacs who call you down with small pocket pairs and A7o.
