Is This A Fold? Stars $500K

[ChewyMint]

My first inclination was to fold the river, but I figured KK/JJ or a missed flush all play the river the same.

Nope, just a tuff beat.

I figured that. I think a fold on the river has some merit, as AQ/KQ are very probably, but I just don't see it happening with 3-1 on a call.
