Beware the Big Stack (tourney)

BAD BEAT

The lesson I learned from this hand is that when you're up against a big stack, settle for the pot and punish him when you think you have the hand. Even though I was a 95% favorite on the turn and check-raised him, it wasn't enough and I paid for it on the river. The reason I didn't move all-in on the turn is that I was worried he might have a higher two pair, but I should not have worried about that since there was no way I was going to fold on the river.
