Throw those cards away as if they are on fire and burning your fingers..... despite the dream flop you are almost certainly  behind to an over pair and definately facing overcards  IMHO.

with no action preflop the BB could be sat there with 2 pair or a straight or a pair and a straight draw there is also a possible flush draw out there

2 all in players and a caller before you even if your ahead on the flop your only likely to remain ahead about 25% pf the time and you certainly dont want to be risking everything without a good chance of winning

personally preflop i would have reraised with 9s  I know its not great but you have only 2k in chips and you're 3rd lowest so u need to be making moves

If you had reraised, then you could shove all in onthe flop.   You are now faced with did they hit 2 pair, str8 etc, although 9's is good for the flop personally I'd give it a miss,  one who goes all in and a caller to it, you're way behind.   If you'd raised b4 the flop then u know where u stand. 

What was the outcome?

Here's what actually happened.

Foaming_h: folds
Shnarf: folds
----- TURN ----- [6s 4s 7c][Ks]
----- RIVER ----- [6s 4s 7c Ks][2c]
----- SHOW DOWN -----
avarell: shows [7h As] (A Pair of Sevens, Ace high)
Kris_42: shows [5s 6c] (A Pair of Sixes, King high)
Achilles1: shows [Ad 7s] (A Pair of Sevens, Ace high)
avarell collected 2200 from Side pot #1
avarell collected 1725 from Main pot
Achilles1 collected 1725 from Main pot
----- SUMMARY -----
Total pot 5650 Main pot 3450 Side pot #1 2200 | Rake 0
Board [6s 4s 7c Ks 2c]
Seat 1: Neil16069 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 2: Sonic77 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 3: Kris_42 lost
Seat 4: Achilles1 showed [Ad 7s] and won (1725) with A Pair of Sevens, Ace high
Seat 5: Foaming_h folded on the Flop
Seat 6: Beam_86 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 7: Jame24032 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 9: Shnarf (small blind) folded on the Flop
Seat 10: avarell (big blind) showed [7h As] and won (3925) with A Pair of Sevens, Ace high

So I had the best hand, but the betting indicated two pair, trips or a made straight, so folding was good. In any event, I was lucky enough to double through a couple of hands later when I flopped a royal flush(!), slowplayed for a big pay-off and eventually won the tournament, so with hindsight I was happy.

i would've called, end of the day you need chips and even if you are behind you have outs.
the point is you won't win if you don't gamble, simple but true

I think I would have made it 500 to go in the hope of pushing the blind out and playing either one or both the big and small stacks.  I would be looking to gamble here as I'm short stacked.  But that's me, either out early or go deep.

Looks like you are playing a few fish that bet that heavy with poor starting hands.  I hope you went on to take all their stacks. Throwing a hand that "might" have won still gets you information on the lower level play of the two fish with A-7's.
