Mathematically he made a bad call. Realistically he got lucky. It's a bad beat, you got your money in when you were ahead and he made runner-runner gutshot for a straight.

He was clearly on a flush draw and made a straight.

I don't think A-J is a re-raise hand pre-flop, I think you played it well. You put all your chips in while you were ahead, too bad it didn't work out this time.

AJ is an easy reraise against a possible steal.

Bad call. Good result. This guy was lucky chasing here but the logic on this kind of stuff is hard to debate. His call though mathematically incorrect...is REALLY ballsy without the nut flush draw and deserves at least the sack award for the day.
