I have't had a good beat in a while, this one was painful moreso because I knew what he had and got him to put his money in the pot with the worst hand.
SNG
Villian raises 3x the BB preflop I'm on the button with ducks, and I make the call, heads up.
Flop is 6  A 2 
I got my flop and I'm thinking he has the Ace, he leads out smallish and I read it as a fairly strong Ace, I pop him back about the pot he calls. Turn is a J (not a spade) and now I KNOW he's got AJ because he leads out for the min (could have had JJ but I was paying that off) I decide I got my sucker all lined up and pull the trigger for all my chips, he calls as I expect and shows AJ.
River A 
Wouldn't have been so bad if it didn't take me from chip leader to short stack, and if my hand would have held up I'd have 5/8 of the chips. Oh well, like I said been a while since I had a good beat.
