settle this holdem debate

A friend of mine was in a 30/60 holdem game. He has AsJs in BB. 2 limpers, late position guy raises. My friend calls, both limpers call. Flop is AxKsTs.

My friend checks, first limper bets, 2nd limper raises, original raiser 3-bets. My friend thinks for a few seconds, and mucks his hand.

He said he was as sure as he could be that he was up against QJ and a set, and that he didnt wanna pay 4 on the flop, and have to pay 3 or 4 more on turn if the board doesnt pair.

I rarely question my friends play, as he is probably the best limit holdem player ive played with, but in this case i think I would have called.

What do you guys think?
