Exactly..you made the right play and got unlucky...as for his play, it isn't so terrible either. As Sonny stated, he is the chip leader and already chips invested, probably figures he can play hit or fold. He ended up hitting top pair-decent kicker, and so he makes a bet - probably because it's quite likely that you hold AK, AQ, etc (maybe even a mid pp, raising it since your heads up). Your all in raise isn't nearly enough to push him out, he's gotta figure he has outs in either the queen or 2 remaining 9s, and so he calls. Lucky but far from a donk play.
