Default All-in with A-K 1st rd

Last week I was in Vegas playing 2-3 30-50 person FO tournaments per day at Luxor & Mandalay Bay. By-ins were $30 - $60 and events were populated with lots of 1st timers, tourists & 'TV poker players'. The following situtation came up in the first round of one event: blinds are 10/15, staring stacks are $300 & we have played 4 hands. In the cut-off seat I'm dealt A-K os. It's folded to me and I raise to $45. Button, SB & BB calls (BB is now all-in). Flop comes Ace, rag, rag with 2 hearts (I do not have a heart). It's checked to me and I bet $100, everyone calls. Turn is another blank, its checked to me and I bet the remainder of my stack ($130). Button folds, SB thinks for a few seconds & calls, BB is all-in. SB flips over 10-8 hearts. You can guess what came on the river ...
Question: did I play this right? ( I was sure the SB was on a flush draw after he called my flop bet)

After his questionable preflop play, I don't see where the small blind did anything wrong.

With two hearts on the flop, maybe you could have pushed there for a bet over the pot size. Then maybe the draws will feel they can fold. But he probably still calls given your description of the situation and players.

Yes, you played it fine. This is a bad beat story, and people are going to rag on you for it. And out of curiosity, did you leave out that the rags were a 7 and a 9 and what he actually hit was a Jack of spades for the nut straight? :P
