That shit just doesn't surprise me any more. I see that kind of action ALL THE TIME. I notice larger stacks take a small/modest chip risks to see a flop and maybe catch a winner. Hell, I've even done it from time to time myself with mixed success. I to like too set traps in that type of situation, but sometimes they can back-fire. Obviously.

Tough beat none the less man.

It's good to vent it out here and move on.
