Meh, those things happen. It was a coinflip that you were a 55% favorite pre-flop. Could easily be that the raiser that brought it up to 800 figured you'd push him out with that all-in, or he believed he had the best hand, or was simply feeling pot committed at that point. After all, had he folded, he would've had only 10xBB left, provided that the blinds don't go up too soon. Those types of hands duke it out very often. Too bad you didn't win that one, especially because you did end up catching an open-ended straight draw on the flop.
