Hand Dealt at the World Series of Poker Main Event Day #2

This is a hand that I dealt at the World Series of Poker during the Main Event at the Rio that I think is kinda an interesting hand.  But I would like other users thoughts if the hands where played correctly and the right decisions where made and what they might have done differently.

River: 7h
 
UTG busts both players giving him roughly 220k (53K avg stack)
 
Tell me what you think of the outcome of this hand and wether or not you think if the aces played his hand poorly to get unlucky and busted.  Also, if not knowing what the other two players hand (I in the box smelled a huge hand out of the BB, when he checked that flop. I thought 88 or TT) if UTG made the right call by calling the 40K (95K in the pot before his action (2 to 1 on his money).
 
Thank you.
