I was chipleader at my table so i could play a little aggresive (it was a tournament)
Called the BB but then the SB raised with 5 times the BB, as I had enough i called it. One more player called as well.
then the flop came: 9 7 2
Not bad, top pair with high kicker
Then the SB went all in, and i called him to bad the other player in the game raised me and also went all in As i was potcommited i decided to call him, as i would have left pretty much chips.
Then the worst part cames.. SB shows 7 7 (3 of a kind) and other player shows Q Q DAMN!
Then the turn came: A
Ha, beaten the QQ with the hand right now
then the River: another A
Ha! just hitted an FULL HOUSE aces over 9 and beated full house 7s over Aces with it
Thanks to this hand I almost doubled up my chips en was leading the tournament with almost twice as much as the number 2
To bad my A Q got beaten by A 2 and A J after that and I finished in 12th place (from 200 players)

when the SB raised allin you did the right decicion by calling the bet but when the third player puts allin you should fold! you was pot commited. how much you have t pay when the third player goes allin?

well i had about 5000 chips in the pot already and he raised with +- 2500 more.
would have left about 2000 chips left when i lose with average stack 3000
Okay, big risk but well, i thought it was worth it at that moment
------------ And now i had 20 000 chips in play, with 3000 average stack

Yes lucky, i think it was all played wrong by you, first you should have been the raiser, then when 5x bet comes in you shold have folded (a bad call made you pot commited) its raise or fold here (if you play,not wait for a raise), you should have expected to be against over pair with this bet, on flop open, str8, possable flush draw, trips and overpair, very bad call, you risked it all on 9s for no reason(unless he play daft,but even then u have anouther player in), but like you say very lucky, give me luck over skill anyday just remember this when you suck out,its all part of the game

know what you mean godlike its the curse of online poker, you either get your money in ahead and lose because you are unlucky or you catch ridiculous cards and suckout. unless you play ridiculous limits where everyone knows what they are doing.... wait just about everyone.
Wow! you played VERY badly preflop and postflop too, then got incredible luck.I hate the bad caller luckers, the runner runner bad beats, and now you posted it here. Be happy but don't make us angry with this topic.
"I was chipleader at my table so i could play a little aggresive (it was a tournament) Called the BB but then the SB raised with 5 times the BB, as I had enough i called it. One more player called as well." I have to tell you: call with A9 is not agressive play, as you think. It's loose passive play, and it has no results if you don't get luck.

You always call with top pair, wchich is only midlle pair? this timelucky was on your side. your play this hand could be good versus loose player, who play every hand. but this time it was bad play for you.
(it was a tournament)
As i was potcommited i decided to call him, as i would have left pretty much chips. 
ouch, Turn Q, River A
