    I dont see too anything wrong with your play, he was pretty committed after he came out betting 10k on the turn so the extra 17 wasnt turning him off... he gambled on a flush draw and hit... GG.

    most of the time you double up there... just bad luck.

    He may have figured you on top pair or an overpair. If he did, he probably figured he had the odds to call you, with about 2.8:1 odds and about 16 outs or so.
