Fold on River?

[danvh]

This isnt a bad beat post. I am wondering if I should fold to the button waking up and the action after. Pre-river I knew I was ahead and was pretty sure I was up against AKs(or AA) and JJ (or something like it) by MP2 and MP3. The button I thought was on a draw. Once the diamond hits (especially a straight making one), in the context of a SNG should I have given it up? I basically just called out of spite and pot size. Was this a mistake? Basically I just want to know, in the context of this hand, should I have saved some chips or called down on a hand I thought someone drew out.

I would fold to the 3 bet on the river, it's just way too obvious that someone has a flush, but I'm not quite world champion of limit holdem.

It's always dangerous to fold in such a huge pot in limit holdem, also everyone was showing so much strength the entire hand, thus indicating made hands and not flush draws. Howeverthe only player who should logically have had a flush draw is the button. Of course they are the one that 3 bet, so you should be in huge trouble here. It's almost impossible for them to have anything else while calling many bets on flop, and turn and suddenly springing to life when the diamond hits on the end.
