What would you have done? should I maybe have re-raised but not shoved? or call? I feel as though when the 4 people entered the pot including me that for a raise than re-raise with a caller, it gave me bad odds to shove? The reason I shoved was because there was 3 other people in the pot and didn't want to play with them incase an ace hit the board which would make it difficult to fold KK. Vanperski had a big stack so I wouldn't have minded a double up if he called, also with his big stack I would assume he wouldn't mind calling with a wider range like; AK

You played it fine, just unfortunate to run into the top hand.
you are never folding preflop. Even if you called you should still be getting it in on non ace flops so you should be getting stacked here.
Once you start getting in some large volumes of play you will see AK and QQ more often than AA, even some JJ AQs and worse and you will win in the long run.
It always hurts running KK into AA but you still have a 20% chance.Try to not let these sorts of hands affect you its just part of the game.

I usually re-raise in the same situation. By all-in you will not give responce from may be AK, 88-QQ, what is profitable to play with. Don't fear to see ace on flop. You can always fold and save the stack. On low flop (2-5-7 for example) you can get all villain stack anyway. But if he shoves after your 4-bet... I don't know, I would have called often, if he is not too tight by his statistics.
